Ive been trying o lose weight but always go off track. I get bored easily sticking to the same healthy foods. Any ideas or recipes ideas or substitutions?

I eat all the same stuff as before for the most part - just less of it (and more accurate portion sizes). I have about 30 recipes that I rotate that my family will eat most of the time. I don't do a ton of substituting with "diet" foods, because they are mostly gross!

My food diary is open for all to see, feel free to see if any of it helps you with snack or meal ideas.

I eat a lot of (grilled) seafood and lots of roasted veggies.

Salads, sandwiches, pasta, fruit, veggies, meat.... everything I guess?

I just eat less desserts, less chips, less sugary drinks....

Ice cream, McDonald's, Pop-Tarts, Taco Bell, Quizno's, fish and chips, cheese fondue, Subway, Doritos, etc.

There's no such thing as "healthy foods." A diet in its entirety is either healthy or not. It's healthy if you're hitting appropriate calorie and macronutrient goals.

I eat anything I want. I just don't (usually) *overeat* any of it. I LOVE candy and mashed potatoes and homemade baked goods... this is about getting healthy for LIFE, not a quick fix. You have to learn to live with the foods you love and eat them in *moderation*. If you aren't willing to give up certain foods for ever, then don't give them up now. I will never stop eating cookies and chips and various chocolate covered things!

My favorites:

Oatmeal
Greek Yogurt
Egg white omelette with salmon + cream cheese
Air popped popcorn (this usually leads to wanting a beer though)
Miso soup
Beef jerky
