Reply With QuoteIdeally you don't rely on someone else to do the cooking for you. To make a real dent on your diet....check the grocery list in the sticky and go do some shopping. You'll find that you will actually save money this way.
Step 2.... tupperware/microwavable containers....buy a bunch of good quality ones. On Saturdays cook up a boat load of rice and freeze the extra.
Step 3 ... BBQ or Broil a boat-load of chicken breast / fish filets /turkey breast etc.... Won't take long at all.
Chili....make your own 3 bean chili and freeze it in quantities that you can grab and go.
Crunchy veggies are portable and make great snacks: carrots, celery, cucs, radishes etc...
This post lays it out:
What do you buy at the supermarket?

What should i be eating?!
Last time i posted, it was suggested to me to keep a list of what im eating. Basicly after the last 3 days Ive discovered i have no idea what healthy eating is! Im just shoving low calorie, low quality foods in my mouth.
I am 23 y/o 5'1 and 186lbs. I already have lost 50lbs but i was just lowering my calorie intake, my body has adjusted to that i guess. Its time to feed it more healthy foods. Im just not sure what that means. low carb? low fat? low calorie? high protein?
Ahhhhh!!!
I am pretty busy. My two main meals are Subway 6" Turkey subs w/no cheese or mayo, xtra veggies. And wendys chili ( 220 cal, 6g fat, 23 carbs,5g fiber, 17 gr protein). When real hungry i also have a baked potato w/the chili.
Its the things i eat in between those that are probably the problem!? hopefully they arnt too bad!
I need to lose at min. 50 more Lbs - and i am workin on building long lean muscles. I do cardio 1 hour 5-6 days a week. and i weight train every 2-3 days for 30 min.
What should my meal plan look like? I am so lost!

FYI, you can't build long lean muscles, you either have them or you don't, at 5"1' I'd say your screwed on that one. People with "long lean" muscles are tall skinny guys with no fat and very little muscle. If you want muscles when you are done cutting then workout like you want to have muscles, you can send me your routine or post it in the trianing forum with your goals for feedback.
For real results you need to track EVERYTHING you eat. www.fitday.com is free and works for me, both cutting and bulking. It has everything you need to track intake and BMR and the calories you expend while working out. Try working in some HIIT and make more room for weights IMO, muscle burns more calories then fat.

It means eating healthy, natural foods. As close to what you find in nature as possible - so stacks of vegetables, with some fruits, lean proteins, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds and skim dairy.
