52 Diet: Calories and Recipes

Heres some details I pulled down from various websites on calorie counts, and some recipes that sound good. I'll probably try to add to this page as I go

Porridge..

1 cup porridge has 607 calories.. so ½ cup (78 grams which is pretty big) has 303 cals…. That’s made with water.. can add salt and spices no sugar though

Could use sweetener.. and reduce amount if using milk.

Eggs

78 cals per egg.. so 2

Banana 105 cals for medium.
