My partner also works from home so I've been running a canteen service
If I was just cooking for myself then it would not be so gourmet. Altho actually the gojuchang noodles with egg is a recipe I often crack out when I'm cooking solo as it's v easy to put together and takes minimal prep (especially if you're a lazy arsehole like me and buy expensive stupid things like pre-chopped garlic, ginger and chilli).

Losing weight is a pretty solitary activity, where often your friends, family and even family aren’t necessarily the most understanding or helpful.
Which is why this thread is really valuable.Cooking seperate food for yourself compared to family, SOs can be quite tough, so meal prepping can really help.

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.
