Hi folks,

I am finding myself getting pretty hangry after intense days of DIY/work/whatever. Back in the day I'd smash a peanut butter on brown bread sandwich or something. The laziness is creeping in though and recently I am smashing a share size bag of doritios or something lol.

Is there any "hacks" for filling food that is half decent for you as well? I have tried Huel and the versions a few years back were pretty grim IMO (Mac n Cheese, Thai Green). I'd much rather a king pot noodle!

I am probably at a borderline meal-prep situation too if anyone has thoughts there? Quite happy to live on the same food every day but just haven't reconnected with what used to work for me.

TIA!

I guess it depends on your goals and your current eating habits! I'm currently maintaining my weigh by eating ~3400 cals per day spread out over 3 main meals and then a few treats in the evening. I do tend to eat the same thing day in/day out as it makes logging and prep easy to do. Happy to stick my menu up if it helps.

High protein foods will make you feel fuller for longer, if that helps at all.

Yes please --

I just want something easy to construct that keeps me alive with minimal effort, balanced by the fact I burn a lot of calories when I get going. I've just got into bad snacking habits as I lost my thread of thinking on it a while back!

Breakfast = 45g Muesli with 15g Chia Seeds 7.5g Pumpkin Seeds 7.5g Sunflower Seeds ~75g kiwi ~200g grapefruit with 250ml full fat milk mixed with 30g Choc Orange protein Power
750cals 46g protein 87g Carbs 27g fat
Lunch = 100g raw carrot 100g tuna with ~25g sweet chili sauce, 2 slices brown bread with 7g butter, 5g mustard, 100g ham, boiled egg, frusli cereal type bar
700cals 62g protein 74g carbs 17g fat
Dinner = 50g couscous (with a stock cube and some herbs) 100g chicken breast & 230ml egg white made into an egg white, chicken omelette, 100g carrots, 100g spinach and 150g broccoli boiled, followed by 100g full fat greek yoghurt with 35g blueberries and 100g mixed berries (and 5g creatine powder lol)
700cals 69g protein 79g carbs 11g fat
Evening snack: Tesco icecream thing, a chocolate brownie and a macaroon
600cals 6g protein 69 carbs 30 fat

Daily tots: 2700 cals 174g protein 310g carbs 86g fat 50g fibre gives me ~600 cals for some biscuits and maybe a choccy bar too. Currently 82kg @182cm

Looks like a faff, but I spend maybe 10 mins a day prepping it all so it's all ready to go. I will swap out the chicken for turkey, and occasionally have pork belly, but then have to dial back the sweet treats later.

Hope that's of some help

Helpful thank you.

I am thinking I might stack some gear in the freezer too. The upcoming summer house build is going to destroy me. I came across these somehow:

Unfortunately portions are pitiful at like 400 cals but potentially good for office WFH days.
