Hi my name is Patricia, and I am new to MyFitnessPal..need friends, encouragement and nutritional ideals.
I always do not know what to cook, because I get very bored with "diet food". :yawn:
I hope to make new friends on here to help me meet my goals, and living a new healthy lifestyle. :flowerforyou:

    Hello Patrica, I know what you mean about not know what to cook but I basicly cook a meat with 1 or 2 veggies. I hope this gives you some ideas.

    My name is Patricia too! :)

    You can do this!! And seriously... don't cook "diet food." Cook REAL food and you'll stay satiated. I do eat salad for lunch... but I throw a bunch of salsa, two tablespoons of sour cream (yum!), 3/4 cup black beans and a handful (serving size) of fritos or tortilla chips (so I feel like I'm totally junking out, without really) for about 450. Then for dinner... I have normal, family food.

    And night cravings/munchies are my downfall... so I've started eating five hershey kisses to get me through our shows! And if I work out, I have two more! Ha!

    Anyway... good luck... and know that you're on your way, just by logging on here!

    Hi Patricia! It took me awhile to get used to making healthy meals, but mfp will definitely help you :) what has really been working for me is switching to Lite/low fat/fat free for absolutely everything. Its amazing how many calories you cut out without having to give up what you love.

    I totally agree with errickab24.......I too dont do the diet food bc it can become frustrating, I cut my portions by half and try to stick to 1200 cals. Add me and we can motivate one another.
