re: Eating healthy is hard

Whatever. Eating healthy can be cheap and easy. I'll help you.

Breakfast - eggs, turkey bacon, cereal

Lunch - lean meat sandwich on whole wheat bread. Perhaps a wrap. Put some veggies in there. It won't hurt. Maybe also pack an apple and some peanut butter.

Dinner - salads and vegetables; lean meats grilled or baked

Cheap. Easy. It's not hard or expensive. Snack on nuts and fruit. Maybe cheese and crackers. Apologies if you have to wake up 10 mins earlier to make a sandwich instead of eating mcdonalds. Or make it at night and put in the fridge.

Eating healthy being hard or expensive is a lie. Put down the Twinkie sir.

My wife meal preps for the whole week on Sunday afternoon. I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your kids but maybe you should limit your kids after school activities if you don't have time to even eat. While investing in your kids is important, keeping yourself healthy is very important too. You still need time for you and time for you and your wife.

I eat out at work every day.. and a lot of times it has to be something quick

Putting a Tupperware in the fridge at work is hard. Making a salad in the morning to fill the Tupperware is particularly challenging.

My job has me on the road a lot, so I understand how easy it is to give into the temptation of fast food. Places are literally lined up on every street. I'm not a big fast food eater, but I could see, like I said, how that would be a real struggle for someone trying to eat healthy for a change.

I've found that the easiest way to stay on a healthy diet is to cook in bulk and prep meals one time a week. Use your oven or grill to cook chicken breasts, lean beef, or fish on a Sunday evening. I would always shop on Saturdays and marinate the meat overnight (make sure you make your meals somewhat tasty without using butter or fattening sauces). Prepare enough for lunch Monday through Friday. Pair your protein with a vegetable or something like brown rice/quinoa. Make sure to change it up and keep it interesting so you don't get burnt out on one dish. Not a bad idea to bring a fresh piece of fruit with you too (it can help kick that sweets craving). Skipping that fast food meal will make a huge difference in your overall health. Plus, it will save you lots of money.

You sound like a hangry sumofabitch. Probably because you eat grass and nuts everyday. Chill out

What I do: eggs and fruit for breakfast. Make a turkey sandwich and put carrots in a bbag while eggs are cooking. Usually a more healthy granola bar too. Very healthy and nnot very time consuming.

You can be my life coach??

Substitute potatoes for spinach or broccoli, those abs will come back.

I just eat meat and greens now, went from a 34 to 30 in 4 months.

I do meal prep sometimes, don't always have the time. But we had to go check out some property in Houma and stopped at the walk ons to eat. I just got a shrimp salad. You can eat healthy anywhere these days, even if you are on the go.
