This. I don't understand. What is that? Hummus, plain noodles, pita bread, artificial crab meat, and one pepper?
This is whole day. Not one meal. One box=one day.
Plus I drink like 0.2 liters of white wine a day.
that box has like 500 calories in it...
this is really not a sustainable or long term solution OP0 -

It's not meant to be long-term. It's just my today's box.0 -

I thought the same thing. What's that? 800 calories maybe?
I didn't count this up today. But today's box is really small, and without chocolate bars that I eat every day.
Maybe it's 800 calories. Plus some wine it would be 1000 calories. But that's really low that I eat today.
If you are normally having more vegetables than you would be even lower on most days. This doesn't look like a great idea to me. Where did you find it?0 -

He meant that if your "boxes" look anything like today's does, the entire plan isn't a sustainable solution. From what I'm seeing, it's not. "Today's box" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.0 -
OP are you understanding what we are saying?
As a 30 year old male, you need to eat more calories total, and need to have more balance/variety in there if you want to do this in a healthy, sustainable way. Supplementing the missing calories with chocolate bars and wine may not be the smartest idea. Getting it up to 1000 calories is still far below the recommended minimum for a man.0 -
Yikes! That's a tiny amount of food for a grown man. I think I'll pass on your ultra restrictive box idea.0

I'm on a fast day today and I've eaten more than that!

Ok - then what is your long term plan to lose, and keep off, the 25 pounds that you want to lose? Are you really just going to put together a box every day for the next ten years?0 -

How are you planning on fitting tonnes of veg in that tiny box????0 -
What a sad day
OP I really don't think you're understanding what people are trying to tell you, at all.0 -
I think that your plan could work...however...
If what I see in the box is all you are eating it doesn't seem like enough. I also see no fruits/vegetables. Not that you have to eat them but they help to keep you full for very few calories plus healthy for you.
Maybe not eating enough is why other types of diets have failed for you.
The box contents is changing every day more or less. Sometimes I put veggies inside. Usually I eat a lot of veggies/fruits. I don't think that I have not eaten enough with other diets. It seems to me that I have eaten too much with other diets.I think that your plan could work...however...

How much weight do you have to lose?
I would like to shed off 25 pounds. I don't say that I have a lot in the box, but I want to lose weight, not to put on some.
Okay...you and I have about the same amount of weight left to lose...the difference is...
I am a 63 y/o woman that eats 1500 calories a day. I also am okay with it taking me the rest of this year to lose it.
When I was at my heaviest I could easily lose 2lbs a week. As I have lost weight the amount that I could lose also went down. Now I am down to losing 2-3lbs a month. To lose faster than that I would have to restrict my calories to around 800 calories a day. It is not worth it to me to put my health at risk.
You are an adult however and have to make these choices for yourself.0 -

Food! Usually some eggs, some tomato/cucumber salads, pasta, pepper, and chocolate. It depends on my mood largely what I put inside.
Perhaps you could make green eggs and ham?
Then you could eat from boxes
with foxes.
You could eat on train
or in the rain.
You could use MFP to pre-log
you could exercise with calorie burning zig-a-zog
You could track your macros
You could exercise with a yoga pose
Tracking your nutrition is so good you see
Just count calories and you'll feel free0
