So my big cheat is Shikataki noodles/pasta (made form konjac root). They are crazy filling and come in at 9 calories per 100grams!
They make a great base for most of my meals in combo with lots of veg and some pulses (butter beans, chickpeas) etc. Massive bowl of that gets me to about 250 calories.
I am vegan, so protein is a bit of juggle.

For those of you doing calorie counting (which is oh so very fun...), do you want to share meal plans / recipes? That's the bit that I find most challenging / draining.
Ideally, I would like to keep my diet pretty much the same as I would want long term, to make maintenance easier. Albeit with less of the high calorie density foods that have that magic moreish combo of fats, and sugary carbs (and salt) - see above, vis. brioche.
The 500 calorie meal thing seems like it could work for me (for the time being at least)
