Well, I’m down 100 lbs from where I started. But, between work and caregiver duties, I can usually only get to the gym 3 days a week, and sometimes less.
I buy quinoa and beans in bulk, so there’s not exactly a barcode to scan for those either. I actually need to avoid pre-packaged food even more than I do currently. The low-calorie ones tend to be high sodium, and a lot of just too many calories.
I’ve done some body-weight stuff (sit-ups, push-ups, squats), but I can’t really get a good aerobic exercise inside the house.
I have a pretty good grasp on what I’m cooking anyway. I have my own spreadsheet where I extracted the Nutritional Information label (or looked up bulk foods on fat secret website), to plan to keep my calories until 14000/wk and keep my sodium down. For me, it was easiest to go vegan: beans, quinoa, greens, nooch, plant milk. I have been eating out more, and that’s no on there, nor do they publish nutritional information (local family chain). But, I also get the “vegetarian” faire there (there’s a white sauce so I’m pretty sure there’s dairy in it) but I know I can skip a couple of my meals to roughly balance that, caloricly at least. That got me down the first hundred. I still need to lose more, but it’s harder now; I used to be closer to a gym… among other things.
I for for a fact I can work anyone breathing to the point they are maxing their heart rate and can’t stand for a half hour after we are done.
If you are not hitting that at home it’s on you.
I did 10 miles today on a stationary bike at a 3 minute mile pace. Then I set target heart rate of 145 and never dropped below it for 1 and a half hours as I did my circuit and strength plan.
Get creative with it. You can use nothing but a foam roll and get a completely wrecking aerobic workout.

You can input any bulk food and its stats into the tool. I cook most everything I eat. Lots of veggies and chicken.
All my workouts can be done at home with a few inexpensive items.
