    Easy meals are welcome I know my fellow members have some!
  • When I started I put together a list of healthy foods that I enjoy. From there I made a list of things I wanted at the store. That was week one. The next time I went to the store I pulled out that list again and decided on some new things and a few repeats. When I make meals I just make sure I eat a large portion of veggies, have a healthy fat, and some protein. I always have some kind of carb but often it’s just in the form of fruit. But there are lots whole foods & whole grains to choose from, too. My main go to for carbs is usually brown rice because that’s what I prefer. Play around with different foods, see what fills you up. Protein + fat is a good way to feel fuller longer.

    I love Avocado toast + eggs for breakfast. Fills me up till lunch!

    I’m pretty over salads at this point, but I’ve come to enjoy snacky kinda lunches - hard boiled eggs, various raw veggies, hummus, some pretzels, cottage cheese, an ounce of full fat cheese...I typically have a couple of protein foods - the eggs & cottage cheese, and then load up on veggies.

    @AnnPT77 didn't you start a thread with a personalized program? I think that might be useful for the OP.

    Oh, thanks, kshama! :flowerforyou:

    I'm not sure it will fit the bill for OP, if she's looking for something very prescriptive, but I will say that I think (1) pretty much anyone can do it, (2) it accommodates personal tastes and preferences, and (3) if followed, it will work. ;)

    OP, it's here (and also linked in the Most Helpful Posts of the Getting Started forum area):
