Was going to make burritos, but I cook the meat in the crockpot and slept right through my alarm until 2:30 this afternoon and didn't have time to do that. So I got Panda Express instead. π

Leftover pizza for the whole family, except my son, he already ate all his so he's getting chicken nuggets.
A bowl of rice, almonds, grilled veggies, and hummus, super hyped about it!
I've been asking myself that question for the past 4 hours
I'm sure you'll decide eventually! I've been there lol
i like your username so definitely getting some fries today. maybe pizza & fries, hmmm
I approve muchly π
Bread. There's Mettwurst, some slices of cheese, dulce de leche and all that stuff.
I typically work a bit harder on lunch than dinner.
Pasta with green beans, potatoes, olives and pesto.
I like the sound of this.
Soup. Pumpkin, some green peas, some corn kernels, a cube of stock, and a bunch of enoki mushrooms I found on special. Turned out well, I think I'll add the rest of the enokis to the leftovers tomorrow
Everyone that I tell this to thinks I am crazy, but for the past 5 months I have eaten a Huel hot and savory meal packet for dinner almost every single day, and it's honestly amazing.
I was having problems with over-eating and self control, and portion sizes. I would turn to basically anything when I was bored, to the point that I'd just open a can of beans, heat it up, throw some spicy Old Bay on it, and eat that. There were a few times when I was letting my food stocks dwindle that I'd make a whole cup (dry) of rice and just put salt/pepper on it because I had literally nothing else, and then eat the whole thing. I've now removed all food from my apartment except the Huel and a bowl of apples/pears I keep around to not be COMPLETELY devoid of snacking if really needed, and it's been very good for me. Learning to feel a little hungry, getting on a super regimented schedule with an appropriate portion of food once an evening, not having anything to impulsively eat... Occasionally I'll still have an off day, and eat like 5 apples in a row instead of just the occasional 1 every coupe of days, but that's becoming less and less frequent, and 5 apples is probably a bit better for me than random bullshit like multiple servings of barely-seasoned rice.
I feel healthier, sleep better, and have dropped 2 waist sizes in 5 months without any additional effort (still working up to the gym, but that's definitely the next step). I also have more free time in the afternoon since I don't have to make food or even spend a second thinking WHAT to make, and there are far less dirty dishes (my mortal enemy).
Chicken dipped in Frank's with leaves from various plants on the side
I'm veggie so lentil chilli and rice
