Yeah we have one but it's just another added step lol. I've got 2 toddlers so a lot of time I am just grabbing stuff and going. Like anything else, priororties. I am sure I could make and find time to prep evertyhign beforehand. Maybe one day.....
I’ll tell ya, working from home everyday makes it pretty damn easy. Also no kids helps.
I work from home, but also dont have the heart to go up for lunch and not play with the 3yo for a bit when he asks. So, I go up when I have time and just make a bowl of something.
Today, it was a small gala apple, 3 celery sticks, some mixed pineapple and watermelon and 2 TSP of peanut butter (roughly). No clue what that would come out to, but it will be all I eat today before dinner as I skip breakfast like 5/7 days. Unless I sneak in a leftover cupcake for snack lol.

That's a lot of syrup!
If you want to lose weight fast, and I say this from personal experience. Walk (fast paced) every single day. Track your pace, and try to beat it every day, just by a little. Do HiiT workouts in there too. Then obviously change your eating. Change, not diet.
Met Rx bars are high protein and filling. I like those.

As far as tracking, what I do most days, and it's probably not the healthiest...
B - Protein bar
L - Protein bar
D - Whatever I want
Snacks - Whatever I want SMH

I was like 260-270 in my syrup chugging days.
I do walk a lot but don’t really pay much attention to pace. Mostly because I do a lot of walking with my wife and she’s 4’11”.
I’m finding the change in eating habits pretty easy so far. I’ve become a big fan of wraps with low carb tortillas.
Scale said 208.2 today.

I'm a net -500 calories from today if my bike is accurate and my general assumption on what I burn working out.
But, heading up to grab lunch, and its Friday, so alcohol will be consumed.
I don't really track stuff beyond having a few go-to meals I cook that are in the 450-600 calorie zone.
My main weaknesses are eating big meals when on the road for work and occasionally gorging on pizza or the like. And beer/liquor. Basically, if I'm at home or the office and doing my own cooking and bringing in my stuff (office), I do great, but my general lack of discipline means I'll order a sub one day or have a pizza over the weekend while also going out and getting sloshed.
I've pretty much come to the conclusion that my best option is just to exercise more and more. HiiT-style stuff in the morning, be standing and doing stretches and bouncing around when watching whatever show/movie I'm watching at night and then bounce around more while playing music after that. With the latter two being a bit hit-or-miss due to me going out with friends about half the time. That at least maintains me and if I'd get some of the eating a bit more under control (drunken/high food binges are teh WORST and I need to curtail that shit...I just struggle with remembering that when under the influence...probably a sign I need to mix in more blow to my substance abuse!), there might be actual improvement.
Yesterday was a good test. We both took the day off and planned to go to 50 West Burger Bar for lunch and a beer. We pre-planned our meals based on nutrition info from Shake Shake since they are pretty similar so we knew what we had left for the rest of the day. A protein bar for breakfast and a shrimp wrap and blackened chicken for dinner, plus two 16oz beers during the day and I was still within all of my macros.
Before this week I probably would’ve had at least 4 beers throughout the day.
Just for fun, started tracking and watching what I was eating last Friday.
Weighed in at 181 to start. Down to 176 now.
No exercise. Get about 7500-8000 steps a day. Really cut out some of the unhealthy snacks. Interesting case study so far lol. Obviously, I can't keep this up but at 5'10", 30 years old I should probably weigh somewhere around 170-175.
