She asked what about me?

I cook my fiance a lot of the foods that I eat, but I still buy him separate things and cook it for him. For example, I'll make a steak and potato dinner for him and I'll have a chicken Cesar salad. I just have a tiny bite of his to settle any cravings if I have any.

edit;; also, try to only cook enough for them. If there's leftovers, you will be more tempted.

If you're going to be cooking anyway, just look for healthy recipes you can eat too! It'll probably be even better than lean cuisine because those can be loaded with sugar, and healthy food can be tasty too, trust me.

I think home-cooking is still the answer. My wife and I cook (most nights) pretty much what we used to cook before counting calories -- now we just measure or weigh our portions, and eat more veggies and fruit than starchy carbs. Last night I made a chicken piccata (reduced fat by using only about a TBSP of butter and no olive oil) and pasta. But instead of a whole (half) chicken breast and a heap of pasta, I had about 5 oz chicken and 2 oz (dry weight) pasta.

This is an opinion of a daughter: You are making the effort to cook your family their meals, probably after a long day at work. On top of that you are now making them healthy and nutritious. The only thing coming from their mouths should be "Thank you mum!".

If not, they can cook themselves.

Ok so I started dieting, my daughter and boyfriend are fit as a fiddle! To start off my weight loss I brought alot of lean cuisine meals and snacks. My 14 yr old daughter was like what about me? She eats some what healthy and i feel guilty making her eat what she's not use to. So how do I still cook for my family without getting tempted with what their eating? Someone please help!

Lean Cuisine isn't particularly healthy. What you might consider is finding some good, real food, recipes, and cooking healthy for you and the whole house! "Dieting" is a bad idea. Healthy lifestyle is a good one. Both for you, and your fourteen-year-old.

Skinnytaste.com has a lot of recipes for lighter healthier versions of meals. I've made 6-7 dinners and no one has complained yet on those nights! Actually last night was a baked ziti from there. Everyone ate all of it (including my 5 year and teens) including the spinach in it.

Cook real, healthy food and eat less of it.

Yes!!!

If your daughter already eats healthy, then you cooking healthy meals shouldn't be a problem for her or for the rest of your family. She can just eat more than you do.

When I was still working to lose weight, I did most of it by cutting out a lot of carbs. I still cooked rice, potatoes or pasta as a side dish, I just didn't eat them or took a very small amount. I filled up on the meat entree, veggies and salad while my husband and son ate some of everything.

I have to agree that Lean Cuisines aren't really all that great. Many of the varieties are loaded with sodium. I have a couple types that I'll buy on occasion just to have in the freezer here at work if I get stuck with no other option but I stopped eating them a few months after starting MFP because I realized they were not really a good option.

I just try to make healthier options of the stuff we always ate.

For instance, we still have pasta - I just use Barilla Plus or Fiber Gormet instead of the regular spaghetti noodles and we'll have some turkey meatballs with it for extra protein. We will still have burgers, but we make them with extra lean beef (or turkey burgers!) and instead of fries on the side, will have stuff like corn on the cob and salad with it instead.

Some small changes like that can make a huge difference

I use the recipes from the Healthy section at: http://www.myrecipes.com/
My husband eats what ever I cook, just more of it than I do. I try to make some recipes ahead if they take longer (the night before) and he puts them in the oven when he gets home because he gets home before I do (we both work). Then we eat, take the dogs for a walk and I make the meal for the next day or we have left overs the next day. I have to keep it simple because we both work, but I MUCH prefer a home cooked meal instead of something already prepared.
