Well, its this time of year when I stock up with cup a soup varieties from Amazon. You can buy 24 sachets for less than a pound a pop. Great for the guys who work a full day and have a flask or a van kettle. I just saw Makita now sell a battery kettle which holds 0.8 litre but not sure how long it takes.

It would most likely take about 30 minuets to get hot enough

Other dances are available.
And note to Scottish!
A pound a pop?!?!
Go to Aldi and get 4 for 65p.

A decent flask should keep stuff warm for at least 4 hours if not longer.......
-
Never have got my head around drinking soup from a cup. It should be in a bowl with a proper soup spoon, and only consumed when your not feeling well :).
-
Try this 10 hrs hot

Always used to love a roasting Bovril at halftime when watching football. Not been for decades now and don't know if they still sell the stuff.

I enjoy a couple tins of mackerel, take a fork to eat out of the tin. :)

Why the hell would you buy processed rubbish like cup a soups? Much better to buy fresh soup from your local supermarket. The pea and ham or chilli bean soups are my favourite. I take them to work in my food flask in winter (usually with a round of sour dough bread)

Maybe if your a big poofter who can't handle the cold.
Others like myself just keep drinking cola and carry on.

I was a half dozen diet coke guy but ended up high blood sugar and high cholesterol. Managed to change to water and changed my diet to low fat. Saved a few bob and feel better for it. I like that idea of a food flask which is next on my list.

Bought a food flask yesterday, it will be good for my big soup. Also, got my Christmas presents sorted because I have some relatives who work in the building trade industry. 👍

Just bought Bovril Cups Beefy Drinks 6 Cup Sleeve x 6 Packs on Amazon for £13. Will listen to old firm game and have one at half time to reminisce about my football past. 😉
-
Just bought 4 x Tomato Lidl cup a soup type sachets.
Will report shortly how yummy or otherwise they are soon.
-
Dont think ive ever had bovril, always told it was rank.
I do like oxtail soup.
Bet its more like drinking an oxo cube though.

No wonder you have no motivation....
Wise up and learn the basics of good nutrition and apply it to your everyday diet and your health will improve dramatically over the course of the next year or so.
80/20 rule is about right(80% good wholesome food,20% junk).
Learn to cook decent food (if you don't already) This is basic stuff every man should do to improve his health and well-being.

You must feel like absolute poope most of the time? I don’t know how old you are but a diet like that will soon catch up with you as you get into your mid to late 40’s.

It did catch up with me, only glad I never liked Red Bull. Managed to dump the diet coke and revert to water, brown bread but still on the real coffee. Try and curtail the coffee to 4 cups a day now.

I know a fair bit about about nutrition but im just not interest in eating healthy really, i will when im in one of my going to the gym phases but when im not going to gym i dont see the point.
I just like junk i guess and given im not obese i dont really worry about it

This is what I dont understand about guys that go to the gym periodically.
Consistency gives the greatest results over a long period of time(at least 5 years IMO). You don't even need to go that often. 2 or 3 times per week of strength training for an hour each session coupled with a good diet 80% of the time makes for unbelievable results. You also feel better,look better and have a better attitude to work/life,etc.
So many people are looking for shortcuts or a special training regime. There simply aren't any.

Because i get into it for a few months, diet , make lots of progress then i`ll miss a few sessions and before you know it the diet has slipped, weight has gone back on and i havent been for months. Then at some point i`ll get back into it and round and round we go. To be fair i do that with all my hobbies.
