    Thank you @hawksgirl229 🥰 I have actually found being at home all the time really helpful for weight loss and have had some good results in the last few months. Keeping at it!

    Breakfast: chopped salad of lettuce, cucumber, baby bell peppers, tofu, with salt and olive oil. Chunk of toasted sesame sourdough on the side. Cup of tea with oat milk.

    Snack: iced cold brew with oat milk.

    Lunch: vegan dan dan noodles with blanched bok choy. We used Trader Joe’s soy chorizo instead of pork and it turned out great!

    Evening: well we have most of a cheesecake in the house still so a slice of that with blueberry compote and a glass of pinot grigio.

    @donidaily - That cheesecake you've been posting about sounds amaaaaaaaazing! 😭😭 How does a no-bake cheesecake compare with baked?? Never had a no baked one before and I'm super interested now!!

    Lunch: Homemade french onion soup topped with a mix of shredded swiss and parmesan, side of Gardein Italian sausage bites
    Snack: Tried the new NY Style Pizza kettle chips Lays has! Tbh they don't taste like pizza at all, more like a tomato bisque, but still good! 2 frozen homemade cookie dough balls
    Dinner: Sweet and sour chicken fried rice with veggies
    Dessert: If though calories later, strawberry cheesecake Greek yogurt with chopped fresh strawberries.

    @rainingribbons It’s so good for summer because you don’t have to turn the oven on! The texture is smooth and creamy like key lime pie but it just sets in the fridge. I used this recipe but after reading the comments reduced the butter to one stick and added some agar agar to help it set (could use gelatin or even jello): https://www.marthastewart.com/858246/no-bake-cheesecake

    Let us know if you try it!

    I agree with @gallicinvasion about leftovers. There should be a better name for them. How about "PDF" for Pre-cooked Delicious Food? :D

    Breakfast (150 cals): Special K with semi skimmed milk, fresh strawberries

    Mid-morning (115 cals): Chocolate caramel protein bar and a diet coke (I was too warm for coffee - does anyone make iced coffee?)

    Lunch (450 cals ish, possibly a bit less): Quorn picnic eggs, brioche and most of a pain au chocolat that I stopped eating because it had blatantly gone past its use by date

    Dinner (154 cals): 2-egg scramble with yellow peppers, mushroom and parsley

    Supper (236 cals): Chocolate caramel protein bar, apple and blackcurrant smoothie, fresh pineapple

    Plus a shed load of water (0 cals).

    Lunch was a bit of a disaster as I was too hot to make a proper meal and the pain au chocolat turned out to be more like the pain de tristesse - some treat. Rest of the bag went in the bin. Bye bye.

    I forced myself to cook something for dinner in a bid to get some more nutrients - measured the veg to ensure I got big enough portions to count towards my 5 a day.

    In news that shouldn't be news though, fresh pineapple is awesome.
