Re: FOOD AND DRINK: I Had Two Options, High or Low. Either Way My Craving's Gotta GoLow: It was a toss-up between homemade ratatouille or a sweet potato mash. I'm going to go with the sweet potato because it always feels more indulgent but can still be so low. I don't think you require milk/butter/cream with sweet potato because it's already got such great flavour. Can even just roast it.
High: A really cheesy cauliflower cheese, with crumbled bread on the top and parmesan all melty and bubbling. And little dark crispy bits.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: I Had Two Options, High or Low. Either Way My Craving's Gotta GoNow, I don't much rate overly creamy table sauces and aas such I don't have anything mega-bad like mayo or southwest sauce or whatever. I prefer my spicy!
HIGH: Probably a thick Tartare Sauce on my fish.
LOW: Habanero Tabasco. It's virtually calorie-free.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: I Had Two Options, High or Low. Either Way My Craving's Gotta GoLow: Nando's chicken burger (334kcal - fair enough a McDonald's hamburger is less, but it's also a good bit smaller, less filling and generally unhealthier
)

High: when I was in Italy I went to a cafe and ordered a hot chocolate, it was almost like pure melted chocolate. The best quality, with marshmallows and cream and chocolate sprinkles. I'd go back to italy to have it all over again.

Low: (with the absence of sushi!) Lighter Options Tuna and Cucumber/Salmon and Cucumber. I genuinely don't think it tastes like a diet option, just tastes cleaner due to less mayo.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: I Had Two Options, High or Low. Either Way My Craving's Gotta GoLOW: Either a Marks and Spencer Prawn Cocktail Salad (80kcals) or Prawn and Pasta Layered Salad (180 kcals), or YO!

HIGH: MUNCHY BOAX! A proper Scottish Munchy box packs in more than 4000 kcals. Sure, I can't eat one alone (hell, TWO people would struggle) but it's a mighty tradition!
HIGH AND LOW OF: Chinese Food!
