My stated aim - apart from losing weight - was to eat less pre-made soup and have more interesting lunches. So far this week:
Gochujang noodles with a boiled egg
Roast cauliflower and chorizo with hummus and a lemon chilli dressing
Roast butternut squash with roast leeks, crispy sage, mushrooms and puy lentils
Stir fried brocolli on toast with a soy / ginger / chilli dressing
Everything except the roast cauliflower I reckon clocks in at around 400 to 500 cals, which is more than I'd normally be consuming at lunch (soup at 200-ish cals, plus 1 slice of bread at 100ish cals) but tbh I'm happy to take that extra calorific hit in order to be living a less boring life. Could have made the cauli less calorific by ditching the chorizo, but it was a hangover from xmas and needed eating.
Question is, how long can I keep this up for before I start losing the motivation to think of things to eat / do the prep and cooking.
