My tactic

A couple of years ago, I was working way too much and I lost the habit of eating lunch. It turns out I don't miss it that much. I just dont eat a meal, sometimes maybe a handful of chickpeas or something if I feel like I need the energy. I lost about 45 lbs through this somewhat accidental intermittent fasting.

I have to wonder how much money I have saved by skipping one meal a day for years.

Can't you just check your bank account?
- Okay, I'll bite. How would that work? My bank account is just a string of numbers. It doesnt have a way to tell me how much I didnt spend on 3 years of hypothetical lunches. I buy all my groceries for our meals all at once, not through separate accounts for breakfast, "what would have been lunch," and supper.
I definitely need that meal to have energy to work

Jokes on you, I can sleep 13 hours a day and still eat six meals.

Of course, what would we do without 2nd breakfast, 2nd lunch and 2nd dinner?

Alternatively, when you get hungry in the evening, just have "go to sleep" for dinner!

    
>be me
>wake up at 8
>still only have two meals a day

It saves time and money!

I remember doing this in college.

no food? looks like I'm having a 16 hour nap for dinner and breakfast.

AAHHH the frenssshampaign

AHHHHHahhhHHHHHhhhh, the Broke Man's way...

I pretty much eat 1 meal a day because that's all I can afford. Other than sex and companionship, I also seeks dates because I am hungry.

This used to work great before the pandemic. Need a new plan ASAP.
