I find contracting away mon-fri actually works quite well fitness wise. The repeating pattern and lack of options means going to the gym in the evening is a good way to pass the time. Or a run. It is also easy to stick to a small breakfast and healthy lunch. Evening meal in a restaurant is tempting but since finding my cholesterol was high, a simple dinner in the rented room/flat does instead. No drink in the week but IPA blowout Friday night. Result = I am slim and fit as a fiddle.
payasyougym.com is your friend.
Also using myfitnesspal app to track calories (mainly to help with the cholesterol, avoiding sat. fats)
Typical evening meal beans on toast, a fried egg, a lot of fruit and a few nuts. Or sarnies. Or a ready meal but only once a week.

They could do a good line in squirrel rotisserie maybe - that would be a good option....
Was McDonalds lunch today. Smokehouse burger. They lied, there was no smokehouse, and no meat smoker, it was just a plastic sauce. I feel conned.

I am having steaks, or chicken with salad, and jacket.
But, getting bored of having the same food 4 nights running. The other alternatives are ropey Indians where the chutney spoon is bound to have been licked.
Is there anything else removely healthy or safe to have from the wetherspoons menu?
Before I boil eggs in the Best Western kettle....
