you could try intermittent fasting with the rice and beans. you have to really over-eat on rice to gain weight as long you are avoiding sugar and processed foods. it's just unpleasant to stuff so much rice and beans into yourself at the end of a fast unless you have something else hijacking your sense of fullness. like sugar. | ||

I've looked a little into intermittent fasting but I'm not sure I have the willpower for it. However, if you have any preferred resources (or advice) on the subject I would love to read them. I quickly glanced over the sticky but many of the links there seem to be broken. | ||

Thanks decafchicken  I usually workout in the morning, so perhaps carbs at lunch may not be that bad to "replenish my muscles"? p.s. how's rugby training going? season started already? | ||

It was most of what I was eating before (along with the broccoli) and the eggs at least are dirt cheap when bought in bulk.

I quickly glanced over the sticky but many of the links there seem to be broken. No, I don't think eating eggs and canned tuna every single day is a good idea. How many eggs and cans of tuna were you eating? Doesn't a can of tuna have like 100 calories, max? Were you eating like 6 cans a day? Just google around for intermittent fasting. The willpower needed is much less than other diets imo because it's much easier to say "I'm just not eating right now" than it is to say "I'm just going to have this much food and no more." | ||

But anyway, I plan on trying intermittent fasting and adding red beans and rice to my repertoire. | ||

Ah alright. I'd probably try to have some light carbs and a protein shake in water when waking up and then add a bunch of carbs for lunch then make your dinner/pre-bed more fat heavy and lower on carbs. Season started about a month ago, it's going terrible. Team is on a bit of a rebuilding year and we're missing players. Oh well. | ||

But yeah as mentioned, I'd probably just eat as much eggs, rice, beans, frozen veggies, potatoes (or sweet potatoes) as possible and then buy whatever meat is on sale. You can find pork shoulder, loin, or chops, ground beef, or different cuts of chicken pretty cheap depending on the day at the grocery store. You can get chicken a LOT cheaper if you learn how to debone and de-skin a chicken (or even just the thighs/breast). Ah alright.

Thanks - I'll follow the advice And wow you start early, here the season usually doesn't start until October. Good luck ! | ||

I'm trying to get back in shape after my holidays (nothing major, but I do want to lose a few kg) so I'm re-starting to train and do sports (to be honest I don't do sport to lose weight, but because it's fun but... two in one I guess). The "problem" is that many evenings I come home late and I'm not sure what would be best to eat after, say, 10pm. I know eating late is not the best, but often it's the only solution so... any advice on what's best? I usually eat some white meat (chicken or such) with raw vegetables (salad, tomatoes, etc.), some bread and maybe a little cheese. I'm not looking to optimize this to the single kJ, and I don't care if "bread is evil" or I should "avoid cheese at all cost": I'm Italian and I like food But at the same time, I'd like to avoid stupid mistakes (e.g. I've heard eating raw vegetables at night is not good for your digestion?) Perhaps a solution would be to eat more frequently in the afternoon, to contain the dinner to a light snack: what could I incorporate as small afternoon snack that can power me through the day and trainings in the evening? (it's usually either rugby or climbing or gym, occasionally running) Thanks all!! and cheers | ||

And you are worried about eating vegetables at night? You 'have heard' something? Nutrition isn't rocket science (well, rocket science barely has had any innovations since the 70's). You just need to cut through the fad diets. Dense caloric foods is what gives you calories. And high fibre high water foods are what you need to ear more of. Come on. "bread is evil"? Maybe if you have a serious gluten allergy. If you want to lose weight, just cut all of you food you eat for enjoyment out of your diet for a couple of months while you have a serious exercise programme. | ||

The reason "eating at night is bad" is because in the traditional american lifestyle, people come home at five or six o'clock and then just don't do anything. They have their dinner early, and then they sit around all night, and if they're eating any more later its compounded by something else: 1) sitting in front of the TV mindlessly eating snacks like chips or cookies or whatever 2) second full dinner just because you're bored 3) it's not food its just alcohol 4) eating garbage food and takeout after having already consumed alcohol Eating late is no worse than eating early so long as it's planned. If you're skipping a normal dinner time, there's absolutely no reason you can't have a full regular meal at 10 pm. TL;DR count your calories and don't eat mindlessly this is literally the single most important thing when it comes to nutrition. What you eat and when you eat it are a fraction of a percent of the importance of that single point. | ||

I still didn't manage to get a proper food schedule, but I think I have parallel issues in how my life is organized which compound on the eating around.. I definitely have a problem with food (as soon as I'm tired or stressed I use food to get an instant gratification which I regret later) but It's good to know that I can organize my day eating after workouts / sports in the late evening without major effects compared to eating early in the evening | ||
