1% milk on the side. and no more coke/diet coke! See stphy's thread, rules #4, 5, 6.

 

One question, Since you eat so healthy all the time do you bug out when you have sweets? Like does it make you hyper or does your body fiend for more?

 

ask steve for them

 

you arent picky, you just know what you like and i can say that because i know what i like

 

Muffins, doughnuts and bagels are the devil.

Be careful with cereal. The nutritional content can vary widely between different brands. I love a lot of brands/types of cereal, but i gave them all up except plain Cheerios - everything else is just too calorie dense. Two cu p sof cheerios w/ skim milk and a protein shake is VERY filling to me.

You know what's even better than cereal? Plain oatmeal. And not that instant crap, just the plain box (tube?) Quaker oatmeal. Bonus points if it's real steel cut oats. Put on some cinnamon and you have a pretty tasty, very healthy way to get your carbs.

However i only eat those if i'm feeling lazy. The ultimate breakfast food item, IMO, is eggs.

 

^^I don't the Grapenuts are that good. High in calories...Plus, no grapes, no nuts, whats the deal....

 

Nix the cheese/dressings and ask for more veggies (especially hot peppers if you can stand them - flavor and good for you) on ur sub/sandwiches ... you wont miss them


and yes much better

 

But did you get laid?

 

You meant with his wife.....

 

oatmeal ...

 

Okay I'm going to the store tonight. Gonna pick up lots of veggies, some good cereal, skim milk, oatmeal, etc. Any suggestions on a relatively easy to prepare lunch that I can take with me to work? Are bananas okay?

Dinner's going to be the biggest problem, cuz my parents love fast food and they refuse to change their ways.

 

You can even get 1% milk if you want. 2% will make you obese.

I eat Lean Cuisines for lunch. Most have about 300 calories. Not that much food, but good enough to keep me going until dinner. I've never been a big lunch eater anyway.

 

You need the live action or the stills?

 

fast food is fine, do what I do: Order the chicken sandwich combo, lite mayo, side salad instead of fries, OJ instead of coke. If the cashier doesnt kick you in the face by the end of the order, you're set!

 

You need more protein. If you don't l'ike chicken (and i can't imagine why you wouldn't... ) go for fish.

Healthy(er) fast food == subway. Check out their site for the nutrition facts. Just stay away from extra cheese and dressing/mayo (mustard is ok).

 

yes, please.


please. pretty please.

milk is another thing that makes me put on weight, i've got a bad bad addiction, i'll easily buy a gallon and finish it in af ew hours

 

 

I drink on average a 1/3 of a gallon or more daily.

 

Go with Skim milk......

 

wtf? people actually drink milk as a......a drink?

 

Straight off the nipple in my case.

 

MrGoat?

 

all I drink, basically had to when I was young, i think cutting milk out of my diet is the biggest factor in my big weight loss. But I'll still buy 2 gallons on saturday morning, but they are usually gone sunday night

 

thats fucking

Milk is only used for cereal or if I feel like it then with some chocolate for a beverage.

 

oh... so regular "white" milk isn't good enough for you huh? :shakehead

 

You can do better than that. Those things are loaded with sodium. Sometimes nutritional value is more important than just calorie counting.

I would recommend eating a larger breakfast, medium sized lunch and a small dinner. That way you spend more of your waking hours able to metabolize your food.

 

Damn right it's not, need that afro american milk, the kind that will rob you if you don't drink it fast enough.

 

Calling doctor Phil, Calling doctor Phil...

 

Hey BunnyLovin, you talk about cakes and cookies, what what's the deal with just basic unhealthy meals (ex. fried)? Any issues there?

 

It's also about not-so-good for your dinners. Sometimes my wife craves Five Guys Burgers & Fries. I tell her we can go, but I 'm not going to eat anything (they have NOTHING healthy on the menu). She says forget it, if she has to eat alone it will suck all the fun out of it.

 

^^ can't really blame her for that one tho dude.

you're not going to get fat by enjoying a junk meal with her every once in a while. IMO, you should do what you can to keep from alienating your wife for enjoying the things/foods which she enjoys from time to time.

 

Really, who the hell wants to eat alone.

Better be careful or wifey will be going to get 5 guys but without the Burgers and Fries.

 

I am at a point where I am allowing myself one real desert a week and 2-3 real meals (I pigged out on Mexican food on Sunday). I didn't gain a pound, so I am thinking once and a while is ok.

 

 

You guys are right. I realize I'm going overboard. I have an obsessive personality trait that shows up with certain things.

 

It is perfectly possible to get very lean while still enjoying food. You just need to compensate in y our overall caloric intake.

If you want to have one cheat meal with your wife, go for it. Let's say you end up taking in an extra 1000 calories because she cooked an awesome Italian meal. No big deal. This will not hurt you much. If you're really paranoid about it, for the next 4-5 days eat 200-250 calories less than you normally have.
