What are your favorite healthy meals?
 

When you're eating healthier option meals what do you enjoy the most? Restaurant food excluded since there are no healthy options at those.

Some of my favs are

Grilled salmon sandwich. I grill a salmon steak, no oils/butters added, with pepper corn and lime, put on 2 pieces of bread as a sandwich, mmmm yummy!!! no added oils, fats, sauces necessary

Vegetarian chili, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can chili beans, half packet of chili seasoning, mix it up, eat with saltine crackers, mmmmmmm

No meat burritos. Heat corn tortillas and put refried beans inside, hotsauce/salsa, and jalapenos, wrap it up and ready to eat.

Would love to know yours. :thumbsup

Anything you cook is better than restaurant food and much better than fast food.

Cucumber salad. Cucumbers, tomato, onion.

Agreed, i cook at home, eat at home about 95% of my meals for that reason

I just had a tuna sandwich with mustard and jalapenos, on plain white bread.... in a restaurant they fill that tuna with mayo, butter the bread, throw cheese on top, that tuna sandwich at resto becomes like 1000 calorie meal, fuck that

I keep it simple. When I'm in the process of getting lean, every day I eat a pound of cod with a cup of egg whites (split into 3 different meals). Cod is one of the most protein dense low calorie foods you can eat. The abs start getting sharper after a couple of weeks eating this way.

You most certainly can eat heathy at restaurants if you go to the right ones and order the right things.

PS a corn tortilla is not healthy lol

Salmon and all vegetables

Oh shit, yes cod, i have to replace my salmon intake with cod. Thanks bronco, nice suggestion :thumbsup

Stir fry in a little water with a little canola oil.
Lots of veggies -- fresh preferred
4 oz of sliced chicken breast or lean pork loin in the stir fry.
A lot of spices little added salt -- iodized sea salt
Maybe with a little Vermicelli

Broiled fish and a salad.

4-6 oz broiled lean pork loin or beef and lots of vegetables and a garden salad

Rye or whole grain breads like 1/2 or 1 slice

Brown and Emperor rice -- Basmati rice occasionally.

The corn tortillas i eat are 40-60 calories. They are better for you than flour ones

I need about 5500 calories daily just to maintain, but...

I eat a shit load of beef(.75lbs per meal 3-4x daily), rice, and broccoli. If I was lazy about eating that day, I'll do something like a Chinese buffet & gorge on proteins there.

On recovery days, I eat about 6k calories. On lifting days, about 5500 or so... sometimes a bit more.

holy fuck Trev, i didnt know you're a goddam BEAST! hahaha

how much you squat? hahaha

Not enough :(

Grilled food is not healthy, same for anything from a can - especially tomatoes. Too much chilli/spicy food is not healthy too. And completely removing meat from your diet is bad as well.

All in all, your meals are far from being healthy and there are many restaurants (not fast food of course) here that offer high quality healthy food, so that is not true at all. You just need to pick the right ones.

BTW, if you mean the ready-to-eat tortillas you can buy in a supermarket and just heat them up, those are often full of chemical preservatives and additives. Total fail.

Most of my meals are austere.

Ok rephrasing.

What are decent meals... not necessarily healthy. Decent/low calories. Decent/low fatty.

When I eat with family, they are eating Texas Roadhouse, Applebees, meatloaf with gravy and mashed potatoes and gravy, enchiladas with chorizo and potatoes cheese, etc etc

So when i'm saying "healthy" i'm actually meaning, somewhat decent health foods in comparison to majority of meals eaten by average Americans


ps. salmon is baked in the oven, not grilled, mistakenly said grilled

i try to not use meat in my chili as well. use ground turkey! it makes me sleepy so turkey is a last choice. LOL

Going to a good restaurant and ordering a tenderloin beef steak (filet mignon - low fat) with stewed vegetables ..that is more healthy than what you listed + you can eat that in any decent restaurant.

kale and spinach

Breakfast:
old-fashioned oatmeal
raw cacao
natural peanut butter

Lunch:
cumin/paprika chicken
brown rice or lentils or black beans
broccoli or spinach or mixed vegetables

Dinner:
salmon or tuna or cod
broccoli or spinach or mixed vegetables

Note: no bread, no pasta, no sugar, no processing

That pussy in your avatar, looks lean n ready to eat :Graucho

Asian pussy :pimp

yes sir.. and healthy too :winkwink: :1orglaugh

Raw fish

healthy eating is such a relative term...

your examples have things in it that I know aren't exactly healthy in them. Breads? Corn? I eat these too but they aren't things people should really be eating regularly if we are strictly talking health. The only reason we eat these things in general is because it is cost effective. Salmon, which i love, needs to be moderated due to concerns of mercury levels. Farmed less so, but the omega-3 content isn't quite as high in that so it is a bit of a balancing act.

butter itself isn't unhealthy, it's the starches we tend to eat them with that are. neither is red meat in moderation. It is far easier to reach protein needs as well as ideal for iron and vitamin B absorption. Spicy food is not unhealthy at all (i seriously can't believe that was suggested) If you eat something beyond your comfort level sure your stomach will turn and that is not good, but eating hot food regularly has been long proven to be healthy for both stomach issues, even preventing ulcers, along with promoting overall cell health due to extremely high antioxidant contents.

My point is it's not always black and white as what is bad and what is good. Eggs for example. Always a source of debate. High in cholesterol right? True, but two problems with that statement. Dietary cholesterol does not translate into blood cholesterol directly at all, it has very little effect directly. Second, the cholesterol it does raise tends to be more of the hdl, which is the good form that helps lower overall levels. So that means we should eat lots and be healthy right? NO, eating too many, especially egg whites alone, drains iron levels... It's frustrating but moderation and common sense is the only way to go. Vegetables are pretty much the only thing that we can eat that undoubtedly keep us healthy and protect us from a large number of diseases--but so are animal fats...

I also prefer fish and seafood with rice or quinoa + fresh vegetable salad.
For breakfast I eat fruits.
Healthy food can be very delicious :thumbsup

I understand why you're eating that way, but curious about your energy levels?

other than burger king...


haha, only joking, loads of foods, I live in the mediterranean.

Eating healthy every day with fish, pasta, rices, meats, bbqs are even healthy here with the salads and other amazing tapas we eat daily :thumbsup

Sleep 6 hours and have more energy than most. I was concerned about the energy level as well, but it works great. In fact I think I have more energy running this regimen than I have ever had.

You mean after requesting that it be cooked without butter or whatever oils/sauces, then yes you're probably right. Most steaks I had back when i ate meat would be doused with oils/butter/sauces. This was no name restaurants, local non chain restaurants, fance ones, or chain resto's, basically everywhere.

Same with salmon, why does salmon at resto's always taste better than mine? well it's savory and yummy, cooked in butter or whatever they're adding to make it taste so great.

Same here, usually my first eat of the day is banana, almond milk, ice, and protein isolate blended into a shake before go gym. 99% of shake places outside will try to dump that liquid sugar shit in there, that's why bought a blender and only make own fruit shakes now

I agree, it's a VERY relative term. And probably not the right term to use for this thread. It should have been "non obesity food meal options" in stead of "healthy choices"

But what are these people in America eating then? Are my choices not healthier than theirs? I see 400 lb people waiting in line at Mcdonalds. I see people walking 1mph through airport that are huffing and puffing and sweating :Oh crap I'm pretty sure everything everyone has mentioned in this thread is quite healthy COMPARED to whatever "majority" (from what i see, with my own eyes) of people are eating in America.

What i see is people love everything fried, butter (not in moderation), mayonaise, cream cheese, greasy, oily, sausages, more fried, deep fried, etc. These are the type of meals I dont want mentioned. Everything else, please fire away :)

Layne Norton knows what he's talking about.



What I've found on my fitness journey is that being perfect is the worst thing you can do. Perfection with diet is what kills adherence, and adherence/sustainability over an extended period is what gets and maintains results.

I like your style ...

salads - one love!

He's the man. :thumbsup

I tend to listen to guys like him (world class power lifters who happen to have PhD's) than random dickweezles at Planet Fitness 3 months after their ACE cert's ink dried.

One of the biggest problems with "diets," and humans in general is they read a "prescription" and take it as gospel. They don't listen to their body and adjust as needed so that they can continue moving forward.

My diet listed above would not work for most people, but it works for me after lots of trial and error. I don't stick to that 100% either, I enjoy an occasional beer and love chocolate cake. Cheating every now and then works fine for me because the other 90% of the time I'm following my prescription. This past week I ate like shit, and felt like shit. Yesterday I ran my reset and today I feel like a rockstar.

Top 10 Lists are another great example of human behavior dooming itself. It doesn't matter what time of day Joe Blow wakes up and starts working, if that time doesn't work for you, you are setting yourself up for failure. Experiment, play around, see what works and what doesn't. After many iterations you will find a great system for you.

my favourite is currently a korean bibimbap dish...pronounced DOLE SOTE BEE BIM bop

I want to eat after your posts))

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I hate talking about food to people, because it seems when it comes to "eating healthy" or "dieting" everyone becomes a tenured nutritionist with scientific findings to back their advice and they're all overweight slobs who push stupid magic saran wrap weight loss products.

My healthy diet recipe - no bread, no sweets, no alcohol.

Old farts thread. Fuck me, Americans eat only burgers and steaks. Go fuck yourself.

anything homemade.

Hot Dogs?

I agree. A lot of people who replied here seem to think it's a competition, who is healthiest or whatever.

The only intent of this thread was to help get ideas of some nice decent meals, it's great to hear what some ppl enjoy that are not cheesy, oily, fatty, buttery, fried, slop of shit :winkwink:

Seafood and fresh vegetable salad - my love!

Nor is white bread and half the ingredients listed. Good grief. :upsidedow

I don't always eat healthy but when I do I eat a lot of it:1orglaugh

bread & alcohol are both healthy in moderation...


:thumbsup
