So...I eat like a child! I always lived on simple foods like chicken tenders, and kids meals =0)...and obviously none of that is healthy for you and now that I am trying to eat healthy I don't know what to eat! It is really difficult for me to eat big chunks of veggies, so sometimes I saute them and make sauce out of them for spaghetti, and I eat salads...but i need other ways to eat healthy!!! Also, I only eat chicken, turkey, and ground beef(rarely), and I work full time and have two young children so I can be strapped on time. So do any of you have ideas for me as to what I can buy ready made at the store, or what I can cook at home...or do you have open diaries I can look at to help myself out? I would love to make more buddies on here so feel free to add me!
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Try a slow cooker. You can put ingredients in when you go out in the morning and your dinner will be ready and waiting when you get home.0

I second this. Slow cookers are the best. Plus when you put veggies in them they don't have a strong flavor anymore so they're easier to eat!!!!!!0 -
Mine is public too.
I usually pre-cook all my meats a couple days ahead or the night before. I need the time to weigh it all out to get the calories right and I don't like to be rushed. Recently I've been boiling frozen vegetables, cooking chicken breast and then finishing it off in a ready-made organic tomato and basil soup. It is awesome. I have about 5 meals worth and just pack it in individual containers to take to work or when I come home just throw in the microwave.
Eating healthy is not just about eating all healthy ingredients and ingredients that taste terrible but also portioning. So for example, burritos can be unhealthy if you're not careful. But with the right ingredients and portions it can be a healthy meal. Get whole grain tortillas, cook the beans yourself, use lean ground beef and instead of oil use water (you have to constantly add spoonfuls of water to prevent burning but you still get the sautee effect), fat free sour cream, salsa, veggies.0 -

Mine is open. Although I generally like my vegetables and fruit raw. They pack more punch and flavor that way and raw forces your body to work harder to digest them helping raise your MBR.
That said if you hate raw sauteing in olive oil, etc is works, particularly if you leave them a bit al dente.
I think the biggest trick is cooking everything you eat. You add some good recipes eat little that is processed or prepackaged and you will find good eats that are good for you.0 -
my diary is open, feel free to check it out!
some of my favorites:
greek yogurt (brown cow vanilla is my favorite)
bear naked fit vanilla almond granola
brown rice (i'll cook enough to feed myself 3-4 days, a very versatile food)
whole grain bread
pre-washed mixed baby greens (great for salads or to toss on sandwiches)
tilapia fillets (not too fishy, cooks in about 5-8 min no joke, VERY cal friendly)
turkey bacon
hummus & salsas (a great alternative to dressings, dips, and mayo)
mustard
basil, cilantro leaves (Seriously, you'll want to add this to EVERYTHING)0 -

Mine is open! As a full time mother, worker and student, I understand the time crunch. I am very inventive with my veggies as my hubby won't touch them...he eats so much better than he knows!!!! Anyway feel free to friend me!0

Look into the Belly Fat Cure book. It provides an 'eat this, not that' perspective on things while providing you with recipes on how to make the things it's suggesting... Man I love taco night!!0

What are you feeding your kids, I'm assuming thats healthy? When preparing meals for them can you make an adult portion for you?0

Feel free to add me. I have mine open to friends. Just don't expect anything perfect.0

My son is 6 months so I can't eat what he eats, and my daughter eats a lot of breads and snacks a lot vs. eating meals. A lot of the time we do eat the same thing, but I will eat a mini bagel with a pear. lol...I don't think that's enough for a dinner, so I wanted ideas for a whole meal.0

Feel free to look at mine. It's public. The vast majority of my food is very simple to prepare and quite clean.0
