This is well and good but it needs to be scaled up to all meals.
Is this a variety issue?
What is stopping you from making 10 meals on your day off and then you have two meals per day covered for the week.
I’ve said this before but consistancy in eating goes a long way. I eat the exact same things for a week or two or three and then change it up. Breakfast is always the same.
This is an excerpt from my training log. This is all planned for the week and prepped on sunday. Only thing i make daily is breakfast and shakes. There is no guessing or nutrition info blunders. This just works.

Let’s maybe hide this for a while. There are 16 grams of sugar in 1 Tablespoon. All of this sugar falls into the “added sugars” category. Not a good choice for weight loss.
Same. Sweet fruits are delicious, and for a good reason: they WANT to be eaten. And from an evolutionary/species survival perspective, they make SO much sense. They bloom before the winter, which is when we NEED to store fat so we can survive the winter, so we eat them, they trigger an insulin response that tells the body “start storing up fat and KEEP eating this yummy stuff!” we eat our fill of fruit, put on some fluff, then burn it all off over the winter.
But now that we can buy fruit year round, our body is all sorts of confused.
Meanwhile, it’s REALLY hard to overeat egg whites, haha.
