It dosn,t really matter what your son eats as long as it,s healthy,the things already suggested ,it,s when he eats and how much.breakfast first to kick in the digestive system,followed by three other little meals through the day no carbohydrates after five thirty because the body can,t burn the energy off in time for bed.Eggs,are good ,Columbus,if you can get them as they are full of omega 3 oil which will replace the oil,he can,t get from the fish.Dutch cheese as it,s half fat along with a half fat mature cheddar [already mentioned]Nibbles in between meals ,fruit and celery,.I had to loose as well for the same sort of reasons ,and have lost two stone over three months so here,s hoping for you.Fred.

Don't forget eggs. They are good for slimming and very filling. Also veggie curry made with a low calorie sauce and small portions of rice is good as are stir-fries. Make a soup with lots of different veggies - carrots, celery, leeks, green beans, tomatoes add some peas or broad beans. This can be frozen in daily portions, a very low calorie filler. Weight watchers books have some recipes they also have recipes on their web-site.

Thanks to Kate, Kathy and Di for your recipes. I'll have to try these out on my son. He doesn't live at home anymore - he's 47 and a real bachelor! I always cook for him when I visit, so will be trying these recipes out soon. Sylvia xxx

I do have a low calorie cook book, so suggest a visit to your library to see what they've got on offer there. Val

Does anybody have some recipes for low calorie meals for vegetarians please? My son has to lose some kilos because of his back trouble and I'd like to help him. I do have vegetarian cooking books but no really low calorie. I find this most difficult, especially as cheese is full of fat. No fish and no meat.
