The easiest thing to do is cook twice as much for an evening meals and take half of itnto work next day. Just not to much carbs. You dont need them, have them for breakfast if your gonna have them. Our brains are programed by society to tell us what we should have for lunch, but its rubbish really. We can eat what we want when we want. Take porridge and have that if you can warm some milk up. Cold steak, blackbean sauce and microwave wholerice is a fav lunch of mine at work. Cold eggs, boiled or omelettes.

Smoothies are good. Chuck some gluten free oats in and chia seeds, will bulk it up and keep you fuller for longer. Couple of cooked chicken breast with loads of spinach and tomato stir in sauce. Take a small tub of seeds and nuts to graze on.

Some really great ideas on this thread. Currently I usually take plenty of water a chunky salad and another tub with finger fruit (grapes and strawbs this week). Also found since we started making our own bread that a 1 sandwich and a tub of fruit will see me through a 12hr day. Losing about 0.5kg a week at the moment (12 to go to where I want to be)

What kind of bread do you make? I admit I done very poorly last week, wasn't well organised at all and ate too much hot food

50/50 wholemeal for myself and white for Nell. I measure out the ingredients into at the start of the week so we can just chuck them in the pan and stick it in the breadmaker when a loaf is running low.

Found making a loaf with only wholemeal was a little dense. We also prefer the extra/very strong white flour.

After 58yrs I've finally discovered humus :wideyed::scratchhead: (I'd always dismissed it as veggie crap) which I often use instead of marge/butter with a slice of cold meat or some tuna and whatever I lift from the garden/greenhouse

It is to do with the heat changing the value of the calorific energy in the bread, someone else might do a link, but I can't with the phone for now
Take one slice of bread it has x calories
Give it a good toasting and burn off some of the starch and you have x - y calories.
Oh bummer you are just wrong!
I should resort to your first theory, take a young lady with you!

I've been using the nutri bullet all summer. Took some getting used to but once you find recipes you like it's great. Put alsorts in it. Bulk it up with some oats and seeds and never feel hungry. Eat normal on an evening and drink plenty water. Lost 1 1/2 st so far. Don't think it will be as appealing through the winter months tho. Feel better for it too.

Don't bother with a lunch box if you want to loss weight, take 3 bottles of water and a young eastern European woman with you to work, she maybe not do anything for the diet, but will take your mind off food and wanting to eat, the water will keep you going till you are finished work ,
On a more serious note drink as much water just before eating any food as you can, there is feck all in water but it stops you eating that much as water fills the stomach and leaves less room for food

also swells the stomach to make it bigger
