Just NO.
One packet of cheese puffs
Two home made muffins
One carton of grapefruit segments
Two chocolate biscuit bars
NO...was that too harsh..?..sorry,
and not saying it's YOU, but
while you save pennies now, you will most likely be storing up loads of issues for later.
i'd rather make the cuts now to ensure that i could eat better, AND carry on working, etc as near normal as possible.
always surprises me when people speak about how tight things are, while still having the latest phone, car, tech.
I think those early days are SO important.
they help get the figures down, help you learn WHAT spikes and what doesn't
and educates the mind and body about what GOOD food looks and tastes like.
It is a sharp learning curve for definite, and some slips and mistakes on the way, are par for the course.
but i think i, and my family are worth the effort...imho.
I found the cost of BETTER meals, is slightly higher, BUT..i now eat less, so the meals i cook, for me.
i divide into two, one for tonight, the other is the next days luchbox..so very cost effective, and as i move forward, the cost are reducing as i find my STABLE of fridge foods, which now means less waste, i eat it all (and enjoy it, ) without any mistaken adventures into the food aisles...though i am still in the EXPERIMENTAL Stages of home food prepping.
( it's all relative, i know...i'd keep the bike and car, above any phone etc
but what use is all that, if you end up sick, then can't provide or care for the family, because you cut a few corners to keep the iPhone 6K, sky dish, etc...? )
Money is tight every where, so i hear your plea..and do i hope you have taken on board some
of the great advice on here.. (
@DCUKMod ..i do the bacon joint, but loving the other ideas..
)

And do please check the items you eat, if you haven't already ensured they are safe and don't spike you
But for the above mentioned,OR new unproven items, if you keep eating i'd be wary and tempted to check the hour after, then at 2 hours, THEN at 3 hours..i think you might be surprised
Only have to do it once, but at least then you would KNOW.
