In terms of food & paleo, I do have to do a fair bit of cooking for myself. When I do, what exactly should I be aiming to do  | ||

Age: 23 || Height: 5'9" || Weight: 151 lbs Starting Date: 4/26/11 Not really putting any goals just yet as I'm not entirely certain what my goals are/should be. Worked out for the first time in....years....today, and have just been generally unhappy with myself health-wise for quite a while now. Hoping for this thread to provide me with a little guidance and also a bit of accountability. If any of you people with considerable know-how would like to pm me to answer some basic questions and perhaps help me come up with some goals/plans that would be appreciated. Will post again once I've got some goals in mind. Yay...first step to a better Lemonwalrus! | ||

When I do, what exactly should I be aiming to do Throw some meat on a pan, brown it, throw some veggies on the pan, season, cook, serve, done! Experiment as necessary. It probably won't turn out the best the first time.

Figure out what you want to look like, get started on SS (we're biased here can be another program, but we highly recommend it for beginners), eat unprocessed foods, win  | ||

As a college student, my typical "morning" meal is: 4 eggs, scrambled add pepper and an splash of milk to get them fluffy and tasty, emptied on to plate. Use the same pan, 4-6 strips of thick cut bacon. Lots of people will tell you to do the bacon first, and use the grease to fry the eggs in - makes me sick every time, without fail... and this way is faster anyway, the bacon cooks in ~1 minute instead of five since the pan is hot from the eggs. Typical "evening" meal: The previous evening, I'll put two chicken breasts (usually totaling ~1.5 lbs of chicken) in a ziploc bag, with a splash of italian dressing to marinate. Delicious. Remove from bag, add a capful of olive oil to pan. Add pepper, Place chicken in pan, medium heat, walk away for ~10 minutes. Flip, walk away. I have a meat thermometer - you want the chicken to just pass an internal temp of 175, maybe for 15 seconds. That means it's done. No need to flip it more than once either imo, or else you used too little olive oil. I also prefer to do steamed broccoli for my veggies. That's simple, after the chicken flip I throw a bag of frozen broccoli in the microwave, they finish around the same time. I eat that probably 6/7 days of the week. My third meal (in between the two) is usually at some cafe around campus, or it's a jumbo can of tuna - the one with five servings, and some carrots... So it's different every day. I snack on raw almonds. Tried to cook steaks today. Did not go well, I definitely let them cook too long and didn't use high enough heat. Ah well, lesson learned. Maybe next time it will be better. On the milk debate: I love whole milk, but I do more like 1/3-1/2 gallon per day. Any more and I start to break out all over my face, as well as it being unnecessary calories. However, any less and I don't gain weight. | ||

For me it's generally as follows Either oatmeal or two (today 4 >.>) eggs, sometimes have bagel never bacon  Lunch consists of sandwich and fruit . Not enough calories, and teh sandwiches both taste like shit and are shit nutritionally. Trying to figure out what to substitute Dinner generally consists of main dish/meat/casserole/salad with meat/enchilada/taco/etc (rarely a chunk of meat though ) + Lettuce (alright, my mom calls it salad, but it’s 100% lettuce lol) + 1 or 2 vegetables of some sort + some sort of starch, so bread or roll or potato or rice.Most of my dinners will stay like this, but lunch and breakfast are changeable, because I do them. I also do a dinner every once in a while, but my mom wants me to keep it to this format. However, there will be days in which I can have whatever I want if my parents are going to be out for the night/etc. Would you just recommend chicken breast, or other meats/fish, or? | ||

As a college student, I buy chicken because it's cheaper than beef, and it cooks quickly. I eat bacon because it's delicious, and because I don't want to eat a whole chicken in the morning XD. I personally love any and every type of fish I have ever eaten, almost any way it's been prepared (except with coconut. Hate coconut) but I don't eat it often because it's more expensive. Any kind of meat is going to be something you should consider eating, as long as you're not putting some ridiculous sugary glaze on it (chinese takeout-esque). It's just that the realities of a budget don't allow me to reach very often. Dinner looks good - I don't eat bread or pasta, and neither do many people in this thread... But that's something that is difficult to do, especially in a family setting. Rice is superior to bread or pasta, Potato is superior to both of them, and Sweet Potatoes beat White Potatoes. With breakfast.... Look in to bacon. It's delicious, takes a minute to cook, and if you get the really thick cut stuff like I do, it's something like 50 calories of saturated fat and protein per slice. High in sodium, but still superior to something like a bagel. I don't eat oatmeal, but if you do keep the sugary additives to a minimum, add things like cranberries and walnuts instead. Brown sugar over refined sugar. Not sure what to do about the lunch; I never liked dealing with school lunches, but if bringing your own isn't an option then idk what to tell you bro. | ||
