When at work and i did prepare any meals ahead time, I usually go for a burger, eggs and bacon, and greek chicken salad. Starting to get bored with these choices. Anyone have any good alternatives for ULC days?
Honestly, when I’m at work I’m in a “just eat to fill a hole and hit my macros” mode. I bring in a large bag of pepperoni, two tubs of meat (Turkey Pastrami), a big bag of Nathan’s hot dogs and a tray of cheese – all from Sam’s Club, and it’ll last me around two weeks. And that’s what I have day in and day out. “First” lunch is at 1030ish and I have 15 slices of pepperoni, two hot dogs (I don’t even bother heating them up) and two slices of cheese. Second lunch is around 1300 and that’s typically 4oz of pastrami and two slices of cheese. I just don’t (or can’t bother to) care about taste or eating the same thing over and over. I want results and am willing to do whatever it takes; making lunch as quick and carefree as possible helps me with that and it’s one less thing I have to think about. I experiment and play around and add tasty stuff for dinner but for lunch I just can’t give a crap. Down to 223 (this past Saturday morning) from 258 at Christmas and I’m A-OK with that.
I know a lot of people claim to not be able to do all that (my girlfriend being one of them, though she’s coming around now that she’s doing it and also seeing results) but when it came right down to it for me, I was more interested in losing the fat than I was in constantly hunting around for stuff that tastes “good” (not that the stuff I eat tastes “bad”), hits my macros as I need it to and isn’t a PITA to make or prep on a daily basis. I knew if I had to do all that on a day-to-day basis, I wouldn’t do it or I’d half-ass it and wouldn’t hit my macros. On those occasional days where I HAVE to get something different or am on the road, I’ll swing in through Wendy’s and get some double cheeseburgers and ditch the buns.
It all comes down to discipline and drive. 🙂 Just my two cents.

That’s the typical dinners/meals I make, and I make enough that night for dinner so that my husband can take the leftovers to work the next day.
I really like rotisserie chicken for some fast easy protein. I purchase one then debone it and put the chicken flesh into containers and keep it in the refrigerator for a snack or meal. Cottage cheese is also a good one for some protein and a few fats.
ULC ideas are bunless burgers, taco salads (ground turkey or fajita meat), boiled eggs, tuna salad, steak, chicken wings, stuffed chicken breast, bacon wrapped cream cheese stuffed jalapeños, stuffed bell peppers, roast, quiche, salmon, & meatloaf (in place of breadcrumbs I use parmesan cheese and crushed pork rinds.)
🙂 Hope that helped.
fats are: (coconut oil, redpalm oil, avocado oil, butter(grassfed or ghee), olive oil – fats are always rotated to change flavor and so on, on every meal..)
salmon + veggies + fats + optional Avocado, nuts, eggs (and shirataki on cuts rarely) …
chicken + veggies + fats + optional Avocado, nuts, eggs …
beef cut in pieces + veggies + fats + optional Avocado, nuts, eggs …
eggs with tomatoes and coconut oil + protein shake with berries (ala protein fluff)
all you can eat buffet and just eat veggies and meatany kind of meat and fish imho
