Meal ideas

A few days ago I posted a thread on the UKGastricBand.co.uk forum asking people to say what they had eaten that day. I asked the question because I find to so difficult to come up with ideas as to what to eat - I have no imagination. I end up eating the same things day in and day out and was seeking ideas. So, here's a compilation of the meal ideas that came back (calories, where stated, in brackets).
