re: need some ideas. calling all people who think they eat a "clean" diet

I'm no expert, but I'm doing a pretty good job losing weight.

Two months ago, I weighed 208 pounds. Today, I weighed myself at 174.

Of course, I've been working out, but diet is huge. It's half of the process.

So, I eat high protein, good fats, low sugar, and complex carbs.

It has worked for me.

In the morning, I eat egg whites and turkey bacon. Coffee with non-fat, no sugar creamer (and very little of it).

Lunch, I have my nutribullet. I fill it with a protein powder, veggies, fruits, and nuts.

Snack, I take a potato, cut it into chips, and bake them. Really healthy, really good.

Dinner, I have a meat (chicken, turkey, or fish), and usually veggies or veggie pasta (with extra virgin olive oil, like a teaspoon).

It has worked for me. I may start looking to reduce something so as to have a bigger caloric deficit.

do you ever pack a lunch?

Pouches of tuna. We have a fridge in the breakroom, so I stock mayo and boiled eggs for tuna salad.

Cans of organic chicken to alternate (cut down on the mercury, mainly). If you can run by a nearby Wal-Mart a lunch, you can get their rotisserie chickens which aren't bad.

Obviously fresh fruit - oranges, apples and bananas - but are mostly snacks. Same for peanuts and almonds.

I eat tuna salad, chicken salad, or tuna/chicken with microwavable minute rice most days for lunch. The rice isn't strictly "clean", but I get the brown and wild to make it as clean as possible.

I also supplement with yogurt and steel cut oats (need fridge for yogurt) and fresh spinach.

Doable with just a fridge - tough with neither a fridge nor microwave.

I weighed 220 lbs back in March. I currently weigh 165.I kept to healthy diet and not eating much throughout the day and started running. I now run between 35 and 50 miles a week. I have logged 1,324 miles since April. I have came a long way and have got pretty serious about running. I believe to just not eat much and make healthy choices is the best route. I really encourage running it was the best for me.

I pack the same lunch everyday
Low sodium turkey or buffalo chicken sandwich on potato bread, banana, grapes, one pack of raisins, 2 dannon fit yogurts, a cup of bear granola for the yogurts, and two low fat string cheeses.

Breakfast is one slice of potato bread two slices of low sodium turkey, two egg whites and a yogurt with granola.

Dinner varies between extra lean turkey breast, chicken, low sodium tuna, and beans w/low fat beef. I don't cheat on the weekends and now that football season is over my weekly whiskey intake has decreased a lot.

I just ate a box of toffee.

In?

processed foods are bad mmmmkkk

buy real chicken not that bullshite in a Tyson's bag you can heat up in 10mins thats loaded with sodium.
