I recommend being prepared through out, if you're working early/late in the day you're going to be too tired to fuss about with food prep and will buy a bag of chips or something equally unhealthy and waste money.
Instead pop down to your local farmer market/grocery outlet and support the farmers during these tough months. Get a selection of vegetables and some stock cubes and start getting creative with soups/broths/stews. Nothing is more satisfying than a flask of hot tomato soup and a wee wholemeal roll for your lunch when it is frosty outside.
Make a large batch of the soup and put portions into tupaware/take away boxes to put in the freezer. This will save prep time and mean your veg won't go off in the fridge after a week.
There are many recipes online for different soups!
I know this post has been a bit random but I just wanted to share what I find helpful when Winter comes and dieting becomes slightly more of a chore.
Actually Kira has a really important point here, you will be able to make quality soups using fresh ingredients and not have six hundred thousand grams of hidden fats injected into it for a longer shelf life. Make some batch's and store them in freezer, Genius and I think I might include a recipe or too in my next update!! Thanks for a great reminder Kira!
