Hi!
I started off at 73.7 kilos in December 2020. Roughly a year later, I was down to 54 kilos. So I lost 20 kilos in just about a year. That's all fine and dandy and I've been maintaining this for 4-5 months now. I was well aware even during my quite successful and fairly easily achieved weight loss, that the hard part wouldn't be losing but it would be maintaining.
Most of my workdays I come off work quite late. Like 7 pm and then I'm home by the time of 8 pm. Lunch is around 2 or 3 PM. I lost the weight purely by focusing on my diet, I didn't exercise, and although I've tried to pick it up I haven't yet. What this means is that I only get to eat 200 more calories per day compared to when I was dieting. It's because I'm petite and sedentary.
The biggest issue for me right now is exhaustion and feeling uninspired after work. I don't really feel like cooking when I get home (live alone). I've been struggling twice these past two weeks. What I did after work was pick up a bag of chips and cookies and eat it all... Yikes. This is why I need to get my shit together and find better solutions.
This ended up being a wall of text but I just wanted to give some background info. What I really wanna know is what you guys in a similar situation as me (no energy to cook late evenings) tend to eat when you get home? It could be something snacky or maybe even a favorite recipe of yours (so I can make extra portions and microwave after work). I strive to eat things that are rich in protein but I also want variety. I used to eat a lot of protein puddings, protein bars and etc in the evenings as dinner but I'm getting sick of it and I just don't want to miss out on vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that real food provides. I really need to come up with good ideas for lazy AF dinners that give at least 15 grams of protein and are between 300-400 calories because that's usually what I have left after breakfast and lunch. My maintenance calories are 1400 calories per day.
Thank you! I know I'm not the only one struggling so I hope we can all inspire each other to get back on track.
