meal ideas!
low energy ("do not ask me to do any prep work at all, so help me god")
mozzerella cheese wrapped in pepperoni ("pizza tacos"!)
hummus and pretzels or naan (putting the naan in the microwave for like 10 seconds...heavenly)
canned chili (with shredded cheese and sour cream if you have it! boom done!)
instant miso soup (warm and lovely! put tofu in it for protein!)
cheese and cured meat, olives, canned fish, crackers, dried fruit, or whatever easy "charcuterie" type items you like
alternate bites of apple and spoonfulls of peanut butter (mixing honey or chocolate chips to the peanut butter is my favorite)
a "deconstructed sandwich": bites of lunch meat, pickles, cheese, cherry tomato, etc (I love roast beef and white cheddar for this)
yogurt and granola or fruit
put frozen potstickers + frozen edamame in the steamer/rice cooker, chill elsewhere with a timer set, then boom
tortilla chips + canned refried beans + cherry tomatoes + cilantro + jarred salsa con queso (or warm shredded cheese on top of the chips in the microwave for 30 seconds)
bagel + cream cheese + lox
microwave scrambled eggs (add things like green onion, soy sauce, or anything else you like!)
cottage cheese and fruit (mixed together or just on the side)
bowl of shredded rotisserie chicken + buffalo sauce + a bit of mayo + green onion (use a kitchen scissors to cut them right in!)
medium energy ("I'll boil water but don't ask me to chop shit")
boiled eggs and fresh veggies (put a little salt on top of the eggs!)
buttered noodles (my go-to nausea meal, it has never failed me. ideas of things to add: frozen peas, imitation crab, roasted garlic)
baked potato with toppings (I like cheese, bacon, broccoli, green onion, and sour cream)
quesadilla (add some canned beans, cilantro, or avocado!)
pot roast (requires a lot of time but not a lot of actual work. I love it with peas!)
cuban sandwich (bread, swiss, pickle, mustard, ham... my favorite thing to panini-ify by far)
pan-fried tofu with scallion sauce (this sauce goes well with everything and tofu is no exception)
pancakes or waffles! (I love mine with jam)
ham, pickle, and cream cheese roll-ups
fried eggs (with toast and lots of butter...so comforting)
fruit smoothie (bananas, frozen strawberries, yogurt...or whatever!)
I hate salad but could write essays on this copycat olive garden salad (throw it in a bowl! chopping required if you use onion)
spaghetti (controversial maybe but angel hair > spaghetti noodles)
pasta salad (olives broccoli fresh mozerella... those little mini pepperonis... yeah)
stir-fried thai garlic shrimp (I like using the mini frozen salad shrimps, it's easy! use jarred minced garlic to avoid chopping!)
tuna mayo onigiri
slow cooker ribs
buffalo chicken wrap (or any number of other wrap options! shred pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to make it easier)
if your local grocery store sells pre-cooked gyro strips, that can turn into an easy wrap with store-bought pita & tzatziki with tomatoes and onions!
couscous and chickpeas
tortellini + pasta sauce + spinach
high energy ("I don't mind chopping some things up!")
stuffed shells with spinach
chicken and roasted garlic (oh my god.....one of my all time favorites)
beef tacos (I like mine with cilantro and onion, and when I'm feeling especially high energy I love a tomatillo salsa)
chicken alfredo
tom kha gai (a thai soup and my absolute favorite! you just need access to galangal)
lasagna! (freezes well and then boom! low energy meal for later)
pad thai! (not as hard as you'd think, as long as you have access to tamarind paste!)
potstickers! (this is a lovely group activity if you want to cook with housemates!)
rice and beans
bang bang shrimp (ogughfhgfuh I love it. you can also do bang bang tofu!)
minestrone soup (so many nice veggies!)
fried rice (put whatever you have on hand in there! broccoli, peas, carrot, and beef is my favorite combo)
broccoli cheddar soup
spring rolls and peanut sauce
skewers (such as beef, onion, zucchini, bell pepper... you don't need a grill, oven works!)
roasted turkey with garlic parmesean asparagus
pork chop with mashed potatoes
panang curry
chicken gnocchi soup (use store bought gnocchi or make your own if you have a high energy day!)
bibimbap (super customizable depending on what veggies you like best)
butter chicken
plus! things that have helped me meal plan:
whenever you think of a meal you'd like to make, take 3 seconds to google search it, take a screenshot of the image results, and put it in a "food ideas" folder. instant visual menu!
the concept of "meal prepping" makes me recoil but I've learned that it can simply mean preparing shredded chicken, boiled eggs, or some other simple protein that you can customize throughout the week. shredded chicken can turn into wraps, salads, pasta dishes, etc... you don't have to meal prep yourself into the same meal all week!
when I have difficulty working up an appetite, I'll scroll through my favorite restaurant menus! there might be some foods I can't make at home, but many times they're very simple to recreate because the ingredients are literally listed!

1st update (fuelled by my sleeping pill which should have kicked in about 20 minutes ago)
177 days to go, it’s just barely after midnight.
Day 180:
- Lunch: Some sushi from the place next to my work. I’m careful reducing down my daily intake and honestly didn’t plan to do much at all for dinner. I got a sugar free Monster Mango Loco too cuz I’ve been reading the the flavoured energy drinks are better at surprising appetite.
- Snack: I got some hunger pangs at home later so I tried bone broth for the first time. 38cals for 250 mls.
- Dinner: Issue is, my mother sprung a nice pasta recipe on me that she knows I can’t resist so I had to sit and eat that. She knows I had an 3d when I was a teen so saying no would have just made me look suspicious. Both my mum and sibling have 34ting issues too so I’m trying to feign being the good influence while by brain is going right back into my own 3d nonsense. Luckily dinner is fairly similar. Spaghetti pasta with some tomatoes that are cooked with herbs and garlic. Went easy on the spaghetti and the oil with which the tomatoes are cooked. My mum and sibling are too focused on theirown and each others 34ting issues to really focus too hard on me so if I’m clever they’ll never be aware.
Day 179:
Lunch: I had sushi again from next to work. I’m working my portion size down and picking things I know won’t hit hard with calories. Another no sugar Mango Loco.
Dinner: Easily managed to sway off dinner for the whole night until right in the evening where I caved in and made a little cup noodles which was 342cals.
Day: 178:
Lunch: I woke up sick. Mum brought me home and vitamin water (about 100cal) and a Powerade.
Dinner: Eventually I drunk 3 glasses of wine with mum. Some more of those 342cal cup noodles and that’s me all day.
Conclusion: I’m not feeling overly hungry which is nice. I even ate both of those noodles not even because I felt I was hungry, I just figured I should. Esp a good idea after that wine and the sleeping pill I’ve now taken which is making my brain go a bit wonky.
I’m not strictly counting calories yet. If I can continue being content with 1 meal a day then I’ll start my calories counting again more strictly. Also I can’t get to scales very easily so weighing in will come later. I’m definitely around the 100kg mark. I want to be down to 60 as a realistic goal. But 50 as a ugw.
Working forward I’ll be stopping eating anything carb heavy at night. Count calories. Sugar free everything.
That’s the goal.
