Here's what I ate last week

[PWGriffin]

1: 2 whole omega eggs, 4 whites, an oats and honey bar, 1 cup milk

2: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup of the "smart bunny" I think yogurt...it's got no added sugar blah blah, it looked like the best choice of yogurt.

3: PBJ with sugar free whole grain wheat, naturally more PB on both sides of the bread and sugar free strawberry jam...1 scoop protein powder

4: Protein shake, 2 scoops whey isolate

5: 2 whole omega eggs, 4 whites, 1/2 cup mozzarella, 4 slices turkey bacon, 1 cup milk

6: 2 lean chicken breasts, 1 can green beans.



What do you think? I really suck at cooking and this stuff is easy to prepare. I would eat oatmeal in the morning instead of the oats and honey bar, but it's 4:30 in the morning and I'm in a hurry to get ready and get to work.

Oh, and I'm 5'10", bout 186 and lookin to lose a few pounds and get under 10% body fat. I do full body workouts 3 times a week and HIIT 2-3x a week as well. So far NOTHING has happened.

I use whole grain sprouted bread in the morning because I don't have time to cook up oats also.

pretty much your diet sucks balls. Are you getting over 2500 calories with that?

you have very little in the way of carb sources too.

 

[Jodi]

Yeah I don't think you are eating enough either. What's your macros's?

I've been doing a shake for the past couple of years or so.

Oats + protein powder + fats + fruit + some water or milk (depending on your cal count). Put into a food processor and work it for a min. Makes a thick and somewhat grainy shake. takes less than 5 mins to make drink and do the dishes.

Also serious lack of veggies there. canned veggies not the best option. One of my meals the veggies is a salad (personally i dont consider salad greens or lettuce a 'veggie'). 1cup of coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage) + some mushrooms + 1tbsp ground falxseeds + FF italian dressing. Weekly i change the second veggie, so instead of shrooms, i add a rib of sliced celery or a few sliced baby radishes.

 

[PWGriffin]

Yeah I figured. Nutrition is not my forte and I'm even worse at actually buying and preparing food. I hate this shit honestly.

Just keep it simple. Make a list of the foods that you know are healthy then go down that list and make check on what you like. Preparing meals can be easy and fun you just need to a) get good quality fresh food and b) a few recipes that you enjoy making and then build from that. You have to know what you like in order to make what you enjoy. It sounds like you need to learn the basics- which is easy to learn.
What's your biggest problem with cooking is it that you don't know how to do it or is it that you don't feel you have time?

Where are your slow release carbs? the only fruit/veg I see is a can of green beans. Why not buy frozen and use a microwave?

I know im a fine one to talk but do you even know your macro/cals? Thats where I started, I looked a good protein/carbs/fats, portion sizes and took the cals off what required (about 2.5k cals)
