Feeding the family

I'd say if you're cooking it, they can eat it, or make their own food instead!

Or, if you're having say chicken with stir fried veggies and rice, you could easily pass on the rice or have a smaller portion.

Make veggies as a side dish, or make the pick eaters pick out the veggies.

I usually make a lean protein, a ton of veg and then some kind of carbs for the folk who want to eat more. Carbs can be potato, rice, pasta, baguette etc This way I just eat the lean protein and as much veg as I can cram in and they just add carbs.

I would not cook two meals, nor would I compromise on my goals. My way we meet in the middle and everyone gets what they want.

Have vegetables as a side dish and let him choose to eat or not eat them. Fill your plate with vegetables or salad.
Puree vegetables and add to sauces, soup or stew. Mix finely chopped vegetables with ground meat for meatballs or meatloaf.
My vegetable hating dd loves some soups that have vegetables. Minestrone is her favorite.
Try roasted or grilled vegetables.
Try stuffed peppers, tomatoes, zucchini.

One of the reasons that I'm succeeding at sustaining my deficit long enough to lose, and maintain for periods of time, is that I do not cook different food for myself.

I eat what I cook for the family. There is always someone who won't eat some part of the meal and sometimes it's me:) if my husband or son won't eat a particular vegetable I view it as more for me later. That's a win, isn't it? Left over roasted Brussels sprouts are yum.

No one's going hungry and I'm not stressed and I have nothing to quit since it's not special or different.

In the over two years I've been doing this my husband's eating has gotten a lot healthier. He has no idea!

In our house, you get what you get and you don't throw a fit Since I'm cooking/shopping, I decide haha. But we really do eat 'normal' food. Sometimes I'll sub out healthier ingredients or throw some veggies in to bulk it up. Even things like fajitas- peppers, onions, chicken- is healthy. Add in black beans, tomatoes, and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I started buying the smaller sized tortillas instead of the huge burrito size because who really needs to eat two of those stuffed full of food??

I spend time researching tasty new recipes too and pull them out when I meal plan (I save them in my 'favorites' folder). I found an amazing stuffed butternut squash recipe that had apples and sausage (I used half of the requested amount) that I wouldn't have tried before. Roast EVERYTHING haha. Roasted veggies are amazing... I could eat them daily. Just a little evoo and salt and pepper mmmm...

Been at this for 200 days... suppers really have not been a problem.

I deliberately cut out the carbs at supper time (intentionally eating them earlier in the day) and so instead of potatoes, couscous, rice of fries, I would substitute a spinach, tomato and onion salad. Every single day. I consistently use balsamic vinegar and olive oil with a little parmesan cheese as a dressing.

For the first month it was a little weird, and initially it was a little odd because I would always put my salad on my plate with the protein but my two kids and husband would eat their salad in a bowl first but now it is the norm.

Our suppers are a little diverse already because I don't eat pork or beef (which my son loves) and our daughter has now gone completely vegetarian so we are all flexible and patient with each other to get everyone to the table with a supper they will enjoy.
Good luck to you.
