However.... Cooked Brekkie every day...Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Take Away every evening...... Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sorry - not helping am I?
I've been in a Hotel for most of the past few months............ my only saving grace is that the cooked breakfast is easily avoided (no real bacon or sausage).... but Restaurants every night is not "slimming"Comment

I'd use the canteen at work and not eat dinner at night, you don't need it if your sitting at a desk all day.
Find a nice swimming pool, not a public place, a spa of sorts and treat yourself for a mid-week night time diner afterwards.
Did this for about 6-8 weeks once, slept like a log a night without eating crap too."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Contrary to popular belief the microwave can be the best way to cook some foods, Sainsburys do quite a good fresh ready meal range in a bowl shape that's both healthy and tasty.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I've got used to doing without one as well, and it doesn't bother me.
Back to the OP's question. If works canteen, use that for lunch plus buy sandwiches / salad / fruit salad / yogurt for evening meal. Definitely skip the cooked breakfast.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
