Favorite Healthy(ish) Meals

Rain

My wife and I are looking to eat a little better. Have done some simple stuff, like no soda and really limiting fast food, pizza etc. Tried cutting out bread due to carbs, but I'm a man...and men eat bread. Keeping in mind that really anything you eat can be viewed as bad, let's use some common sense here. What are some of your favorite healthy meals/snacks?I love love love tuna fish sandwiches, only downside is that they're not very filling. Also heart me some seafood, I could dang near eat it everyday but it's just too expensive.

The biggest thing is not so much what you eat, it's how you eat. Make sure you are eating breakfast. Snack on an apple or other fruit mid morning. Decent lunch and dinner. Maybe even a snack in the afternoon. Biggest thing is portion control. Watch the little things that can add calories. Mayo, sour cream etc. stick with a whole grain bread and don't over do it with the bread. Use whole wheat pasta. Eat plenty of vegetables. Limit butter if they are cooked. One of my favorite meals is sautéed chicken in a little bit of olive oil or coconut oil. Mix that in with some brown rice and you have a decent meal at around 700 calories. Drink lots of water, stay away from sugar.

Oh and if you eat salad. Find a dressing that is low or no calorie. Little olive oil and vinegar is a staple for me. If you have to snack in the evening make sure it is protein

Know the importance of breakfast, just need to make it part of my routine. When I was down range I did protein shakes or an omelet like you were saying Hays. Might have to pick it back up, at least some fruit and a shake.Hays, was it you or someone else that did a weight loss competition a while back? Might need to do it again!

Yep, couple years back; I won it, actually, though I'm not sure it was a fair competition lol. I'd support another competition - I think a lot of guys really got motivated from it - but I don't know that I could participate this time around.

I eat a lot of eggs, they're a staple on low carb. My favorite and most often eaten breakfast is spinach, brocolli and a little chees in the nuke for a minute, topped with 2 eggs and one egg white done in a pan with non stick sprAy then hit t with either a little salsa or some hot sauce. Sometimes I add chicken(we eat a lot of chicken and normally have some around). This keep me full until about 1100 ish

I usually make a fruit smoothie/shake for work day mornings. Some frozen fruit and some soy or coconut milk in the nutri bullet. You can add vegetables, peanut butter, anything else really. Portion out the night before and put in the fridge. Literally 5 seconds in the morning and you just grab the cup and out the door. Holds me over until 10-11.

I once ate a 59 oz Stouffers lasagna just to see if I could.

Chicken and pork are my favs. If you have a crock pot there is a ton of healthy stuff that's really easy. I can find a pork shoulder for $1.49/lb around here and I just do that with some Spanish style beans and its fantastic. There tons of chicken things to do like chicken with peppers and onions and some salsa or fajita sauce just avoid the rice or tortillas to cut carbs. If you do eat carb does some research on foods considered slow carbs they are harder to break down and don't cause as much of a spike in your blood sugar. The more process the sugar the quicker it breaks down and the bigger the spike it will cause. If you like cinnamon add it to what ever you can it as it can also help to cut your insulin response and help cholesterol levels. Lemon will do the same thing but make sure its fresh lemon not the fake juice. If you're trying to loose weight green tea is also great.

Hard boiled eggs are a great evening snack. I stick with food that I have to cook. Start growing a garden next spring and learn to hunt so you can have real food.
