Eating large quantities of 90% chocolate is an impressive feat.
I demolished a 250g box of Guylian seashells in about 15 minutes the other day... -

I find preparing side salads and veg a bit tiresome when preparing multiple meals all through the week.
Having grown up with Korean food and banchan, I prepare or buy side dishes/vegetables to make meals more interesting and delicious.
Kimchi
Asian dressed slaw (no mayo, very little fat)
Picked radish
Korean seasoned spinachI also have a couple of squeeze sauce bottles with homemade gochujang dressing and sweet soy sauce for extra punchy flavour, while minimising the calories. A drizzle on top of a dish goes a long way and a lot less calories than adding to the cooking sauce.

Cauliflower is a great option.
I like air frying them tossed in various seasonings, garlic, soy, sesame oil etc.I'm not the biggest fan of tricking myself into eating cauliflower rice, or courgette noodles/pasta, konjac noodles etc as I always feel the pang of an inferior option.
However, if its delicious in its own right, happy to choose it as a primary option.

It is not easy to purge your house of snack items when you have a 5 year old kid at home!
If you're not set up physically or mentally to count calories and work out a suitable calorie deficit, you can do it the old fashioned way of cutting out or replacing something.The typical ones are:
Sugary drinks and juices -> water, sugar free squash, diet drinks
Beer/alcohol -> same as above
Chocolates / mince pies / biscuits/snacks -> veg sticks and hummus (possibly dangerous) / popcorn
Rice/pasta -> more vegKeeping up the volume of food, but reducing the calorie density using food choices will help you loads.
Having plenty of calorie free fluids while working from home helps keep me out the fridge and snack cupboard (coffee, tea, green tea, squash, water)
Also, although it feels wasteful, but in my experience not eating the 5 year old's leftovers at the end of meals will probably save a 1000 calories or so a week.
In a year, thats approx 14.85 pounds of fat loss, or 6.7kg. -
Thats largely true, but not the whole picture.
Exercising and resistance exercise burns calories, while also giving you body recomposition.
The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate, and more calories you burn just by existing.For some people, doing exercise also promotes healthier eating habits.
Losing weight by exercise is quite imprecise, compared to calorie counting and diet, but losing 7kg and many inches just by adding exercise is legit, impressive and very commendable.

Well, Magnet are doing 50% off all kitchen cabinets if that gives some indication of their markup…
During non sale season, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are willing to negotiate close to sales season discounts.

The convenience is not to be understated.
Missing / replacement hinges, shelves, panels etc that can be collected from the warehouse…When I did a quote from Magnet, I was quoted a 2.5 month delivery/installation lead time.
Zero shame being what causes people to have children?
