I have a toddler and I work a lot, packing lunches and counting calories of homemade food is a challenge at the moment. Ngl I’m loving pre-made sandwiches and ready meals right now to take the thinking out of the equation.

Perfectly valid, being a parent is tough. Whatever works for you, works for you. I do the same thing usually, find cheap pre portioned meals. You got this!
Do what works for you
don’t, i heard it’s better to not calorie count, just eat nutritious meals, a side of protein, salad and carbs- the simple stuff.
The amount of marketing gimmicks on the wrap is insane. “Macro counted”, as if regular packaging doesn’t already have that exact information
I had the wrap the other day!!
Ahh love a gym kitchen meal deal 😋
Always do what works for you ☺️ as someone who despises cooking (I know, not a good thing), I love pre made meals and frozen meals. As long as I have all the nutritional information I need, it works for me and keeps the weight off. I just pay attention to my calorie intake and portion sizes if I can’t calorie count.
Honestly I feel like once you get to a certain point of being used to counting cals you get a good enough sense from eyeballing that it’s not a big deal tracking it beyond comprehending mentally what you’re eating. Obviously easy to miss small snacks and stuff sometimes but otherwise it’s not an issue
