Yes. For me, probably most is the highly sedentary office lifestyle. Compounding this problem, I more or less live alone and thus 'community food' (eating out) is my best access to non-frozen pre-prepared meals. I refuse to do leftovers (this is not negotiable). The main problem with eating out is the portion size. Everything is insanely large.

Read into meal prep, a number of friends in a similar situation have tried it and reported great success.

It is "insanely large" because leftovers are built into the meal. You're meant to take some home and have it for lunch. I don't really know what your post is about. It starts with the word "Yes" (???) and then gives a ton of incoherent excuses for something which isn't specified.

  Of course it's specified. It's an excuse for being fat.

> I refuse to do leftovers (this is not negotiable). Do you see a difference between eating leftovers and preparing a future meal? For example, I may cook extra chicken for dinner, chop up the extra pieces and put them in a salad for the next day's lunch.

What do you mean leftovers are not negotioable? Are you saying you never cook because you don't want to eat the food the next day? Or are you saying you never take food you don't finish at restaurants to go? Not the most healthful path you're on :/

Depending where you're located, it's possible to find options for eating out that aren't massive. At my favorite spot in Brooklyn, I get a salad with feta and kale plus some salmon on top, and it's about the perfect amount for one meal. There's also the "hot buffet" style meals where you can take as much as you want and pay by weight; there are some good businessperson-oriented ones in NYC.

What? Why can't you just cook a meal for one? Chicken breast and veggies takes like 15 minutes.
