There is lots of good dietary advice on the BUPA site.
Calorie counting is misleading. If you stick with low/medium G.I. foods with low salt, then you won't want to eat too much.
Use a mild olive oil for any frying that you do.
Alcohol and sugary drinks contribute a lot to calorie intake, so avoid them.
Anything that is low fat.. like chicken skinless and grilled, fish, turkey, shrimp or any seafood, rice, vegtables, fruit, salad. stuff like that. For calories try not to exceed 2000 calories a day
Perhaps try this website for food ideas:

You want dinner to be your lowest carb meal of the day. So no potato, rissoto, white bread, rice or pasta. If you must have a little carbohydrate, make sure it's whole grain, like whole wheat pasta or brown rice and it must be a small portion if it's for dinner..
Example:
A large salad with a couple shredded boiled eggs, olives, tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers. If you want add some baked or grilled chicken pieces and a low fat dressing. Then have a piece of whole wheat bread with it.
You'll be stuffed and lose weight with a salad like that for dinner.
well ur meals should be high in protein, non starchy vegetables, and lots of plain water (about 8-10 8oz glasses a day). Stay away from simple sugars which are considered "empty calories". These would be candy, ice cream, little debbies, things of that nature. Try to keep it around 1800 -2000 calories aday to maintain ur weight. If your trying to lose weight, you would have to reduce your intake.
keep a daily diary of your intake. Everything from when you get up to bedtime. Every glass of water, biscuit, piece of bread, etc. this will give you an idea of what your eating when you cant remember at night. Don't forget to exercise... 25-30 min a day 3-4 x a week... good luck.
Green Tea LOL
It's not just about what you eat for dinner that helps you lose weight. It's about what you eat all day long and how active you are.
As to how many calories should you eat - who knows? We don't know how overweight you are now or how active you will be.
There is no BEST dinner to eat, but there is a best WAY to eat dinner. It helps to choose something low in calories and high in fiber. BUT it's more important how you eat that food than what you actually choose.
When you eat, take small bites and savor every mouthful. Put your fork down now and then so you can take the time to talk to the people around you. Make sure you are eating what you enjoy eating and not forcing yourself to eat something you find gross or nasty-tasting. If you are craving something in particular, eat it. Just don't eat it too fast to really taste it and enjoy it.
For example, I love chocolate. Now, I could go to my kitchen right now and grab a handful of M&Ms and eat them all at once, then grab handfull after handfull and do the same thing. OR I could eat one or two M&Ms at a time, letting the candy melt in my mouth so I get the full flavor of that chocolate. And I can choose Dark M&Ms rather than the milk chocolate ones. They have a stronger chocolate flavor, so it takes less to ease my chocolate craving.
Most doctors recommend a diet of 2000 calories or less per day if you are eating a healthy diet (less fat, more fiber, less red meat, more fish and beans) and exercising 15-30 minutes per day. If you want to lose weight, a diet of around 1500 calories is generally the "norm".
Choose foods you enjoy that are healthy, and save room for dessert. You don't have to clean your plate. That is not the purpose of eating. Eat to live, which means eating enough calories to keep your body going strong, rather than living to eat, which is like eating only unhealthy foods because they taste good and eating when you're not hungry.
Avoid buffets. They tend to offer so many things you enjoy that you get "a little of everything" and end up with a plateful that could be too much food for your stomach, which usually can hold up to 4 cups of food (if you're an adult). But, if you do go to a buffet, choose three or four things that you enjoy. Savor every bite, then go get dessert. But only one serving of dessert. Enjoy every single morsel. If you're still hungry fifteen minutes after you've eaten, then grab some fresh fruit, or a salad if you prefer veggies. Watch out for dressing. It's high in fat and calories. So go for the "light" dressing or skip it entirely if you don't need it to enjoy a salad.
Another helpful hint is drink sips of water every two or three bites of food. You'll feel full sooner. It also gives your body a chance to tell you that you've had enough to eat rather than gorging on food and eating too much (think Thanksgiving dinner).
One thing that generally helps a person feel fuller is eating or drinking something before you eat. Some people recommend a glass of V-8 Juice. Some recommend eating an apple (eat the peel, too, just make sure you wash it well in cool, clear water first). Then eat 15 minutes after that.
There are tons of diets available, and if you are more than 15 pounds overweight, I recommend talking to your doctor about realistic goals for your weight loss program. He can even tell you the weight you should aim for. A big help is keeping your goals small and weighing yourself every day. Choose to lose 5 pounds. Once you've lost five pounds, choose to lose 5 more until you meet the weight your doctor recommends or the weight at which you feel healthy and full of energy.
Make sure if you don't talk to your doctor that you at least check your recommended BMI (Body Mass Index). I highly recommend not losing more weight than what your BMI "should" be. One thing you do not want to do is lose too much weight. You'll end up with a weakened immune system and possibly an eating disorder.
I hope some of this helps. I lost 50 pounds this way, and I'm now at the weight I chose for myself (which is actually 5-10 pounds heavier than my BMI suggested weight. It's also higher than what my doctor recommended. But I have a large frame and losing any more weight would make me look too thin for my taste.)
The best dinner for female bodybuilders, who do NOT want ANY fat, but still want good nutrition is:
Boiled chicken breast, and broccoli. If you don't like broccoli, then have some other dark green veggie.
You shouldn't drop below 1200 calories a day if you have less then this you need to talk to your GP.
I suggest for your dinner you should have what I call a colourful meal. This is chicken or fish with lots of vegetables. (The more colourful the better) Just cut down on carbs such as potatoes, pasta and rice.

Hope this helps!
