I like the idea of a food plan by calories. This one on healthline by a nutritionist (this is the modern title - no longer a dietician) has a 5 day meal plan with 3 meals of 500 calories each. I used the Mifflin-St. Jeor online calculator that estimated my total daily expenditure to be 1862 calories a day, but if I wanted to lose weight, by a pound a week, it suggested 1489 for my "slightly active" lifestyle.
I feel like the breakfasts are a little much, but I am bored of toast and peanut butter, and if I eat a little less (which is really easy because 1 egg is plenty when they are suggesting 2), I leave room at the end of the day for chocolate!
