It's meal prep eve for me so making sure I have all the bits in my trolley for tomorrow mornings JS delivery although its always a bit Russian roulette if you're actually going to get what you ordered 

I am only snack prepping for next week as I have things like fish portions that I want to use up to clear a little space. I want to fill it up with my own ready meals for April so hopefully, I can just defrost and heat some of the evenings when the gym might reopen. 

This weeks plan:

  Chocolate Orange Fat Bombs (just made those in the freezer) DONE
  Raspberry Jelly DONE
  Pancakes
  Quiche - Bacon & spring onion and whatever else from the salad drawer
  Halloumi Burgers

Hopefully, that will set me up nicely for the week. I am starting to go through menopause and my cravings are unreal.

All look delicious @juicyjackieb,  I made an egg custard yesterday from D1etD0ctor site, very sickly sweet, not sure if recipe not "reduce" to smaller portions well, might ? try it again..
Had slow cooked lamb shoulder yesterday with butternut wedges and green beans, left overs today, will sub sprouts for the beans.

A nice cheap and cheerful prep this week! Boiled eggs, home made rollitos for lunches, some banoffee fat bombs and 4 portions of Taco Soup (recipe from gimmedelicious.com

The soup worked out to be around £1 a portion so great budget dinner. I am trying to clear my freezer of odds and ends to make room for more freezer meals for when the gym finally reopens so I can just zap and go! 

Hope everyone is doing well!

pamsdish perhaps logging your food in something like fitday might help you see where you are going wrong.   if you are lowcarbing your calories shouldnt be too much of an issue.

good luck

I use carb manager, I try to keep away from cream, and only eat small amounts of cheese, I know where I am going wrong, just eating huge portions.
