How do you maintain food discipline?

I've made a bit of a change in my lunch diet and looking to get a bit more protein in. I used to take a ham and cheese wrap to work with some muesli bars, apple and yoghurt for morning tea. I have changed the standard flavoured yoghurt to a protein yoghurt and with my wrap now I have cheese, egg, spinach/rocket salad mix, and tuna. It's pretty tasty toasted. I often have a milk and protein powder shake after returning home from my commute on the bike from work.
Still Weetbix and milk for breakfast and a varied but smaller dinner that I once used to have.
I have levelled out at around 72kg which is good for me and my fitness is in a pretty good place for me. Just have to keep up the riding over the Christmas break and she'll all be sweet!

See if you can add more protein to the breakfast. Otherwise you are fasting from dinner until morning tea before you get a decent amount.

You can add half a serve of a plain flavour or unsweetened protein powder to milk with some water to thin it out. Then add it to the cereal. Or can add a couple of table spoons of chia seeds is also easy.

That's not a bad idea. 👍

What is your toilet paper consumption like?

You need shit at work, then you get paid for it and use their paper.

i just keep things basic and simple.

curries spaghetti, gnocchi are my 3 main rotations.

I only allow one day on the weekends to do whatever than its straight back into it.

Weigh your food out too, don't just eyeball it. Read the macros on the label make sure it fits in with your tdee.

I skip breakfast 6-5 times a week and since starting the new full time job i have rotated my meals around, my dinner meal is done at lunch time (1:15pm currently where I work) than my dinner time meal is greek yoghurt with protein powder and creatine in it around 6-630pm ish give or take and that's my final meal of the time.
 
There's a post of mine in the cooking thread somewhere about pulling a vindaloo out of the freezer thinking it was bolognaise. Just don't add lime pickle on the side if your going with a pungent cheese on top.

I went to an Italian Indian fusion restaurant in Edinburgh (what are the chances) and I have say it works very well. The pizzas were pretty good I remember this tandoori chicken pizza with sundried tomato and olives. I think I would have gone there all week except it was Rabbie Burns Day which requires much drinking and haggis. I may have gone there the other days I just don't remember 😂 I find counter intuitively drinking stops you eating up to a point.
 
I ran out of Man shake and I haven't re-ordered until recently, it arrives on Wednesday!

I've really gotten into poached eggs to the point I can make them restaurant style with little effort.

Poached eggs, avocado, spinach, beetroot hummus on the side, on dark rye bread.
