How do you do it? What does your diet look like? I want to get healthier but find myself getting lazy and just eating out all the time. I went to the DR. Recently and he says now is the time. He gave me a list of healthy foods but I’m just looking for ideas of what to cook and bring to lunch and stuff. Just curious what a real healthy persons diet looks like during the week.

Cook your own meals from fresh ingredients is the simplest thing that you can easily do.

Post the list so we can see how little most doctors know about nutrition.

the wife and I stopped eating out, no Soda, no Booze, no Candy and no real carbs. we do a 7oz portion of lean protein for dinner, with 3 servings of veggies and a 1/2 an avocado for a healthy fat - i started at 305 in October last year, and I am 196.6 as of yesterday.

I’d rather be fat and eat good food than starve myself just for it all to go away in 10 years again.

At a bare minimum eliminate any highly processed foods. I think most everyone agrees on that.

I eat what I want and don’t get fat. All of my yearly physical data is normal. Thanks, genetics.

I eat breakfast at 10 am. Its generally a few cashews and full fat greek yogurt.

I work out at lunch

I eat lunch at 1:30ish

this week I made a big batch of "pork roll in a bowl"

Dinner is at 6 pm and is almost always a grilled or roasted protein with 2 sides of veggies

Eat like your grandparents or great grandparents did. Traditional foods. Unprocessed.

I actually really like ordering the premade meals.

I use megafit meals. Their classic meal which is chicken, sweet potato, and asparagus is dang good.

They have a crap load of others that you can choose from

I usually grill or bake a bunch of chicken on sundays for the week, have that for lunch pretty much every day. Cook a steak a least one day a week, pick up random shite to grill the other days or eat leftovers if I cooked something else on the weekend.

Only drinking like 2 days a week and pretty much cut out sodas, drink lots of water.

I find that when I am consistently going to the gym, its much easier to eat/drink healthy because I want to see results.

Just eat meat and fresh veggies. Eat all you want of those. Stay away from potatoes, pasta, bread, and anything out of a box. Its pretty simple really.

For snacks always have some grapes or a sweet fruit around, it'll help with the cravings. Cook extra meat to snack on as well.

3 squares a day, no skipping meals for starters. I don't count calories, but I do count saturated fat and I keep it around 18-20 grams per day. No junk, no fast food. Lean meat, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Did you Dr. send you to a dietitian? If not then ask to be referred to one because doctors actually know very little about nutrition.

You need to train yourself on what is actually healthy. No added sugars, plenty of natural dietary fiber, eat things you enjoy in moderations, stay active and walk after your meals if you feel too full. Dannon strawberry yogurt is not healthy, plain Greek yogurt w/ chopped strawberries is healthy. Iceberg lettuce sucks for multiple reasons so don’t make your salad out of it. Do leafy greens and kale.

ETA: I see posts in here about not eating bread or potatoes. Both of those can be healthy, just don’t load it with salt and bacon. Check carbs to fiber ratio on the bread you eat and keep it as low as possible, you can find bread loafs as low as 5/1 carbs to fiber and anything under 10 is acceptable in my book.

I maintain 10% body fat by eating a lot of carbs.

It drives me nuts when people say carbs are bad.

What matters is calories in-calories out and protein. Just eat enough protein. Then carbs/fat doesn't matter

I follow a high protein, high carb diet with low fat and eat 4 times a day.

I start every day eating french toast made with whole wheat bread and egg whites and zero sugar syrup

I end each day eating "protein ice cream" which is pretty much a blend of protein powder, ice, nonfat greek yogurt, xanthan gum, zero calorie sweetener, almond milk, sugar free JELLO pudding mix and additional flavorings of your choice.

The 2 meals in between vary but I make sure they have at least 40-50 grams of protein.
