Dude, thats awesome. Way to go!

I'm hoping by keeping track of lunches, I can eat healthier during the day as well.

caribbean rice with chick peas, red kidney beans and crushed pecans; an apple as well.

i cook a big batch of something like this every sunday and then freeze portions in individual containers. every morning on the way to work, all i have to do is take one out of the freezer and throw it into my lunchbox. when i get to work, i just set it out on my desk to thaw. i still eat some animal products but for lunch i usually do just plant-based and b/c of this i can set the food out on my desk to thaw and not worry about harmful bacteria, etc...

Thanks Dude ! Yeah it takes time but the pounds drop off . Add in some walking and mild workouts and watch it drop off . I was never really that heavy though but a few winters worth of winter weight added up . I could never drop anything until I started counting . You just don't need a big ass meal like we grew up with . It took me a long time to figure this out .

hey double post fix-it

oh and some paw patrol fruit snacks. happy day!

Budget Lunch:

Bro. Mac and cheese bowl for lunch is not eating healthy...

Nitrite-free ham, cheddar, butter lettuce and honey mustard wrap plus an apple and an orange with a sugar-free cherry kool aid. When I get home a brownie and a glass of apple juice. Yes, I eat like a 6th grader.

Thats awesome, I would attack the fruit and salad bar errrrday.

Fresh fruit has become ridiculously expensive nowadays.

Poverty loaded mashed potato bowl for lunch

leftover pizza, bag of popcorn, a peach, paw patrol fruitsnacks.

Going to smash an enormous portion of skirt steak and fajita style veggies. Gains.

god damn I feel for some curry today but all the places near to my office are cash only and I have about $2 on me lol....

not sure but I had watermelon for dinner last night . mmmm

Leftover Oxtail Stew that I made this weekend. It was damp, and rainy and shitty - and stew hit the spot...

today will be Peruvian rice and sweet corn tamale , approx cal. =450 mmmm

Tried a new Clam Chowder. Did not love - will not buy again. Progresso and Campbell's Home Style versions are much better.
