It’s recommended that for women wanting to lose weight, should stick to an allowance of 1,400 calories a day and 1800 calories for men a day.
Breakfast
It's important to start the day with a good breakfast (just after 7am), so try hitting 400 calories if you can. But don’t skip breakfast, skipping breakfast will mess up a person's metabolism the metabolic rate can slow down by 25 percent if breakfast is skipped, because the body needs nutrients and fluids in the morning to get started.
Make sure your breakfast calories contains 15 to 20 percent of protein (About 13 to 20 grams of protein), Eggs, dairy products, soy milk, protein powder in smoothies, nuts and seeds, and whole grains are great sources of protein. 45 to 55 percent should be devoted to carbs, (about 40 to 55 grams) Skip sugary and overly processed foods or those made with enriched white flour, and choose whole grains, fruits, and veggies.
And 30 to 35 percent should be fats,(about 10 to 15 grams) Instead of saturated fats like bacon and cheese, go for monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) like olive oil, nuts and seeds and the butters made from them, and avocado.
Lunch
Keep Lunch Lean (between 12.30pm and 1pm), A healthy lunch keeps the energy levels up for the rest of the day. It’s recommended to sticking to no more than 450 calories here too.
You can make a boneless and skinless chicken breast served with fat free Italian dressing, tomato slices, seasoned bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, some angel hair pasta and a handful of green peas.
Carbs: Go for 50 to 65 grams of carbs, which is 45 to 55 percent of your lunch calories. Avoid refined carbs, like foods made with white flour and white sugar, and go for whole grains, whole grain breads and pastas, and starchy veggies and fruits.
Proteins: Get 20 to 30 grams of protein, which is about 17 to 25 percent of your lunch calories. a healthful sources like Beef, lamb, fish, and chicken and others
Fats: Including healthy fats in your lunch makes your meal more satisfying, so strive for 13 to 18 grams, which is 30 to 35 percent of your total lunch calories. Including healthful sources like nuts, seeds, oils, avocado, and olives can help beat sugar cravings later.
Dinner
(between 7pm and 7.30pm) can be fewer calories, so aim for around 300 calories. You don't want to feel too full before bed so go sparingly on the carbohydrates and fill up on protein (especially that found in chicken which aids sleep) and vegetables.
45 to 55 percent of your dinner calories should be devoted to carbs, which is about 50 to 75, and 20 to 25 percent should be protein, which is about 25 to 35 grams
And For fat aim for at least eight grams at dinnertime. This should be coming primarily from fiber-rich carb choices like whole grains, starchy veggies, beans, small amounts of fruit, and fiber-containing fats such as avocado, nuts, and seeds.
If you stick to 400 calories for breakfast, 400 for lunch and 300 for dinner then you'll be able to treat yourself to two 100 calorie snacks throughout the day and still leave an extra 100 for any milk in tea and coffee throughout the day, and fruit too (there are 52 calories in a small apple, 53 in a pear, 59 in an orange and 89 in a banana). It's a good idea to have a fruit with your morning and afternoon snack. But as fruit is high in sugar, it's best to limit yourself to 3-4 fruits a day.

• Veggies with hummus
• Sliced fruit with low fat yogurt
