Spaghetti Bolognese with Mushrooms
Hurray, it’s …. OK, it’s not actually only 400 calories for the meal. But at under 600 with plentiful parmesan, it fits within my “small lunch, big dinner” planning system.
I added random chopped veg which I fried with the onions in the oil (left over from stirfry) and chopped up mushrooms to bulk it out and add flavour.
| Bolognese Sauce | 1 tablespoon oil | 119 |
|---|---|---|
| 120g chopped onion | 38 | |
| 100g mixed veg | 35 | |
| 2 tins tomato 19 cal/100g | 296 | |
| 700g ground beef | 1,778 | |
| 2 stock cubes | 50 | |
| 2 tablespoon sugar | 100 | |
| Fried tomato | 158 | |
| Mushrooms | 19 | |
| Tomato sauce @64 cal | 179 | |
| Total Calories | 2,772 | |
It tastes nice and is really thick!

This made for a large serving – as much as I’d eat not on a diet. If I needed to keep calories under 500, I think that’d be pretty easy to do just by cutting down the spaghetti and leaving it with extra sauce.
| 150g Bolognese Sauce | 195 |

| 5g parmesan | 22 |

Now, if only I could justify some garlic bread….
