I would like to reduce my body fat a little bit. Not by a drastic amount, so I don't want to achieve this with a planned diet/cut but with more permanent lifestyle changes, which should feasible because there is some pretty low hanging fruit when it comes to my eating habbits.
That is, I very often order food, get the large portion when I do and then usually eat all of it. So 3 or 4 dinners each week are just unnecessarily calorie dense food (pretty sure most places I order from get their flavor from extra butter/cheese/cream) and overeating. To get an idea what I'm talking about, lately I've been almost exclusively eating a kind of mac'n'cheese with fried chicken in it.
So this is the obvious target for changing my diet, but honestly I don't know how. I've tried meal prepping and cooking but I rarely manage this for more than a week. Cooking after work often sucks, and meal prep requires at least one day in the weekend. Also chicken+veg+grain isn't really a satisfying dinner (though I realize that's probably mostly a matter of getting accustomed to it).
Considering that anything worth doing is also worth doing badly (ie I'd rather have a moderate improvement that works than fail trying to be perfect), I'm looking for alternatives that are (almost) as easy as ordering food, but not quite as fattening (and expensive lol).
So far I've come up with canned food (like chilis and stews) and frozenn pizzas/meals. Obviously not great, but would at least have nutrition labels and I suspect less calories than the food I order.
Anyone have some advice how get some satisfying, quick meals?
