I cooked enough hard-boiled eggs to last all week. I will also do the same with the potatoes. Since cooking and searching for new recipe ideas is also part of the food reward in my case everything related to food will be kept minimal, including daily preparation. Twitter and RSS feeds of my favorite food sites also were cut out.
I will keep calories around 1000. Yes this is low but I'm short and small-framed. The food reward theory implies I will feel less hunger eating this way than if I was eating regular processed crap on the same amount of calories. Calories will be adjusted if needed. I will salt and pepper my food, and use vinegar as well, but refrain from using other sesaonings (will surely be hard at first to let go of my beloved sriracha and not use anything from my 25+ collection of herbs and spices).
I will also use intermittent fasting on a 16/8 schedule. I am used to this already as I never was a big breakfast person and previous job schedules sometimes were easier to handle when eating one big meal a day.
I expect some hunger the first few days. That should change when I get used to my meals, which will be almost exactly the same everyday.
Lunch: hard boiled eggs; steamed broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach
Dinner: tuna; boiled potatoes, carrots; onion, olive oil
Lunch was able, surprisingly, to carry me on easily until 5 pm. Dinner was enormous (really underestimated the size of 300g of cooked potatoes) but satisfying. I expect to not get hungry again tonight.
