Does anyone here eat real food?

No, I eat that plastic food that comes with tiny fake kitchens.

Because we needed yet another in a long long long line of "I eat plastic" posts? :yawn:

Well to be fair, I don't care. :flowerforyou:

Why I am I not surprised.

Because it's absurd to call food fake unless it's made of plastic? Is that why you're not surprised?

Nope.

Well that was certainly a good explanation!

It doesn't need one. It's just SSDD on myfitnesspal forums.

It really is!

Try this recipe: http://aiplifestyle.com/creamy-crockpot-lemon-chicken-kale-soup/
I will admit, Lemon chicken kale soup did not sound appealing to me at first but this one is now a family classic!

All I eat is real food...but you have to be a friend to see my diary. I am dealing with extensive food allergies so most of my plates tend to be 40% meat, 40% veggies/fibre, and 20% starch. Perfectly steamed "naked" veggies take some getting used to but now I cannot eat them in sauces or covered in butter. One trick I use for getting whole food ideas is actually to google/search "gluten free vegan recipes"...then I just add or serve with meat.

I just book marked that soup. Thanks!

I do

some example, to cook mushrooms, I use lemon juice instead of oil. I grill meat and chicken on a pancetta so I am not using fat

I use herbs intead of salt

phil, so french. i hope you mean in a pan and not lardons. lol!

I only eat cardboard painted to look like food.

*does a double take of the goldfish I'm munching on*

Guess not.

*continues munching*

ETA: I also don't cook with lard like my great-grandmother did.

I'd try grubs and cattail roots.

Real food??

Nope cant help, I only eat plastic and metal products.

:huh:

There's a novel answer. Not.

I had a lovely meal planned last night only for my other half telling me he was taking me out to the pictures! So a 3 scoop Ben and Jerry's it was then. bigsmile love
The loss of my dinner wasn't missed!

Congrats on enjoying the meal!

I'm looking for more ideas for my lunches and dinners, BUT I only eat things that could be prepared in an ordinary kitchen using items that our ancestors would readily recognize apart from minor diversions when I go out to eat! (Ben and Jerrys!):bigsmile:

You can do Asian beef and rice. Simple and Yummy :ground beef cooked with a fusion of soy sauce and brown sugar( small amounts for flavor) over jasmine rice with green onion topping.

Husband and kid approved!

Suggested alternative thread title " has anyone any recipes to share using fresh ingredients?"

Result = no snark, no pushing of fad diets, and possibly a lot more recipes for you to try

:drinker: :flowerforyou:

In the summer I like eating wraps -usually a whole wheat tortilla, regular cheese (around 60-70calories worth), am protein (ham, turkey, or chicken) and veggies (cucumber, and sprouts and sometimes black beans)). In the winter I love vegetable packed soup that. I make at home... you can get a good serving with low calories and low salt. I try to avoid prepared foods as much as possible

I'm gluten intolerate, so I tend to eat plain food. I love oven baked chicken breast-I use gluten free bisquick-you can use regular bread crumbs, or Italian. I mix in some parmesan cheese-dip in gluten free, or regular flour, then egg, then crumbs. Put on a cookie sheet and put 2-3 tbsp. of melted butter when you use 3 full boneless breasts. Serving size is about 1/2 or a little more of a breast at 310 calories. One easy food is a small chili from Wendy's at 180 calories, and I put it on a couple of cups of plain lettuce and veges-it's actually good. I find I eat alot of veges like cauliflower, and broccoli which are very low in calorie as part of my meals. Flavored rice cakes with powdered peanut butter (mixed) are great fillers. The peanut butter is called pb2, and it has 85% less fat(and calories) I love my sweets. Plain steak burgers, coated with my own blackened seasoning are great ! I've lost 53 pounds and will be losing 20 more, and then stop.
