[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have lost 20 recently, no added sugar and low’ish carb are key for me.

Breakfast is plain Greek yogurt with berries, walnuts and cinnamon most days, every so often oatmeal mixed with peanut butter.

Lunch is almost always a big salad with various veggies, seeds, and a protein (chicken, hard boiled egg, shrimp), avocado,  maybe a small amount of whole grains mixed in or whole grain crackers on side

Dinner is whatever I make for the family but I go heavy on the protein and veggies and try to avoid big portions of white carbs

Fruit for dessert and a bit of dark chocolate

Hummus and veggies for snacks, or hard boiled eggs, or pistachios [/quote]

I also WFH and stick to the same dinners my family enjoys while focusing on very healthy fare for other meals. My routine is similar to this PPs. Also I find that whole I get bored of the same dinners all the time and change those up often, I am happy to eat more routine breakfasts and lunches. It is easier both time-wise and mental load.

Breakfasts are usually plain greek yogurt with berries and a sprinkle of nuts (esp in warmer weather) or plain oatmeal prepared the same way (esp colder weather). Some days I might have cereal or an egg or a homemade superhero muffin.

Lunches are usually big salads with chickpeas (or sometimes leftover protein from dinner) or homemade soups. I have a couple regulars I like that I make in batches and freeze like lentil soup, black bean soup, gazpacho, butternut squash soup, etc. Sometimes I’ll do half a sandwich with smaller serving of the salad/soups.

Dinners I also pay attention to portions of the family meal. I might make myself one alternate side sometimes too like spaghetti squash instead of pasta or an extra veggie/salad in lieu of a carby side.

I also find it helps to keep a few easy snacks on hand that are healthy. It’s just too easy to snack when you WFH. If that is something you struggle with pay attention to that.

I do best if I focus on just providing myself healthy choices I genuinely like, versus a list of food to avoid or what not to eat. I might think about how much fiber, colors of produce or servings of veggies I have in a day rather than the idea of limiting carbs, sugar, etc. Just a better mindset for me. Good luck!
