I’m renovating my kitchen and currently only have access to a microwave and airfryer for meals which usually isn’t a problem but with all the project stress yesterday I couldn’t stop grabbing snacks, and taking the time to make sometime nutritious felt like a huge mental burden.
I debated sharing this because it’s not a “good day” of eating, these aren’t balanced and satiating meals but on a day when I felt overwhelm and wanted to eat to distract myself, I am proud of the fact that I was able to stick to my deficit. Not every day can be perfect.. all day I kept thinking “I’ll just get back on track tomorrow and eat whatever I want today” but it feels good that I was able get through (and satisfy) my cravings without sacrificing my calories goals.

This is exactly the sort of content you should share! Thank you!
This is the goal. Yes, we all aim for eating well, good whole foods, home made, nourishing, all macros on point, within the calorie budget, pleasingly presented…
But real life is real. We have stressful lives. We get holidays and events and work and travel and laundry and kids and the in-laws showed up unannounced for brunch. We get periods and menopause and ovulation cravings. There’s always a weird circumstance.
You’re doing a renovation and coping with limited kitchen facilities and feeling stressed, and you still managed to keep it on budget and track it all! Well done! You’ve even got some protein and fibre in there. ✨🏅
The chocolate fibre one bars are sooo good. I love your mentality about this as well, hope things get better <3
