I’ll give it a whirl see if I can change my habits. I just set foot in a supermarket now and go into panic about what I should eat and often walk out empty handed...
I struggle with take aways, which my other half loves to get when he’s had a long day and insists on buying me something. Eating out too. I just never know what to do for the best and I really don’t like green leaves so restaurant salads are usually a no go and tend to leave me feeling hungry.
It’s a total nightmare.
If the supermarket thing stumps you, why not keep a list of options in notes or whatever you use, on your phone? That way, if you have a brain freeze, you have a list of options to look for?
There's often a hot cabinet in these places now, with chicken pieces and the like I need there. There's ready boiled eggs, prawn cocktail (probably!), crispy bacon slices (M&S are best, but most supermarkets do them), mini baby bel, antipasti, charcuterie, various folks speak of protein bars. Think tapas?
If you don't have anywhere to heat food at work, would a food flask work?
