Dishonesty lies and thieves and online Bullies!!!
Lots of meals can be done over weekend and frozen so when your tired all you need do is take something out before work put it in fridge to defrost slowly for when you get home. Casseroles,soups, check out lots of foods on here and diet doctor.Make up enough meals to get you through most of week,wish you well it's hard when you work full time been there myself. But people on here will always give you help and advice anytime just ask the question. K

You can make enough tuna, chicken or egg salad with mayo to last a few days/ meals. Can be tossed on lettuce wraps or a handful of salad greens. A big pan of roasted veggies too. They last and just be reheated. Or raw veggies like celery, bell peppers, cucumbers, mushrooms

Avocado. Add a little sea salt and Scoop right out to the skin

Make serving size cups of nut butters and celery.

It takes a bit to get organized and into a routine but once done just put on auto pilot.

Nothing has to be fancy. Just grab some protein, some veggies and some fat.

I eat whatever I want at the moment not too much though.I don't have strips at the moment but I hope 3 metformin a day and lots of walking is keeping it controlled.Low carb is the way to go though.

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Lidl triangular brown high protein rolls are good if you need to take food to work with you.

Low carbohydrate, and keep you full for ages.
Fill with cheese, ham, tuna mayo, egg.

Take a bag of salad; buy one from the supermarket or get baby tomatoes and chop some peppers and cucumber all in a plastic bag.

For breakfast I have coffee with butter and double cream. Fills you up and is very quick to prepare.
