Why do you need to eat on the go. Get up earlier and eat a proper breakfast at home. One with a lot of fiber so that you lay a massive log at work a couple of hours later.

Low-fat cottage cheese with frozen blueberries, and some granola. The blueberries will thaw by the time you get to eat it at your desk, and they keep the cottage cheese cold. This is my daily breakfast. You could do yogurt if your prefer.

Did you lose weight with smoothies? What else were you eating throughout the day?
My weight has been creeping up over the last two years. I gained 20lbs.
While I’ve tried eating healthy to lose weight, I’ve been frustrated by feeling hungry and only losing a pound or two. The relatively quick progress of dropping 6lbs in just over a week has inspired me to stick with it. I’m committed to doing this throughout September to see if I continue to lose weight.
I’m going to focus on (lite) weight training and muscle/strength building starting this weekend. Sticking with walking this week. I basically went from very sedentary (office job) with 1k steps/day to 6-10k steps/day, and it’s helping. I’m going to build in a 30 min walk during my lunch hour (in addition to a morning and evening walk).
I basically eliminated added sugar…which was hard. But I must say I feel better.
I’m perimenopausal, and everything seems hard now ;0)

My real goal is to drop a size and build muscle tone.
I added the smoothie to increase protein intake and generally food intake during a very stressful period where I felt nauseated and often didn’t eat. I would feel hunger but the idea of food and prep was overwhelming but the smoothies were easy to make and drink. Now I just have them a couple times a week and trying to get protein i through other sources. Today I worked from home and i had a smoothie (well coffee first always) around 11; a piece of toast with avocado tomato and goat cheese around 2 and dinner at 6:30 (roast chicken, salad, spicy green beans and a scoop of ice cream).
I don’t think smoothies cause any more or less weight loss than other foods that are high protein etc but if it works for you then trying new ones can be fun. I went through several protein powders to find one that was not full or sugar or lots of artificial sweetener). I use kos which is a plant based protein (might have stevia); the chocolate is pretty good. Spouse prefers optimum nutrition brand which is also tasty. I also add some
Chia seeds for fiber and they do fill you up.

A handful of almonds and a protein shake.

I did have one for lunch today on low-fat Italian bread with a tiny bit of Mayo. It held me pretty well.
So eat 5 hardboiled eggs. The bread and Mayo are poison
GTFO they are fine in a balanced diet.
Mayo is terrible because it is full of industrialized seed oils--usually soybean or canola. That's real poison. The bread is likely full of phytotoxins like lectins, phytates, oxalates, and gluten, which prevent the absorption of nutrients and damage the body, even MECHANICALLY!

I eat in the car and usually make a breakfast sandwich. Dave's 70 calorie seeded bread, 2 eggs, sometimes a little cheese. But often just the toast and eggs. It always keeps me full til lunch.
Sometimes I eat a greek yogurt with granola instead, but that's trickier in the car. The key to that option is measuring the granola and only having one serving. Granola serving sizes are MUCH smaller than you think.

I make a 2 minute fried egg in the morning before I leave the house with black coffee. Usually I skip lunch.

It’s the sugar that gets you imho. The truly nonfat (unflavored) Greek yogurt has less sugar.
FTR, I’m not a stickler when it comes to yogurt. In fact, I’ll sometimes add a splash of chocolate syrup.

This. But also, morning coffee should be ok if you don't add anything to it besides skim (which will provide some protein)--i.e. the key is to not add sugar or cream.
I’ve never added sugar or cream—just milk.
But I’m ok with black.

Milk, protein powder, frozen banana and almond butter but you can really add anything. This usually holds me through lunch ;or often is lunch and then I have a light snack around 3).

I can’t believe no one has said this yet, but … Water weight, OP. It is next to impossible to lose 6 pounds of fat in one week, and you’re not going to see that continue. You lost a lot of water weight in week 1 because you stopped eating a breakfast that was likely very high in carbs and salt, both of which cause you to hold onto extra water.

Yes, I realize water weight drops off first.
Nonetheless, I’m feeling pretty good about the lost pounds and the fact that my pants aren’t tight.
