you guys are good. It is hard to eat right with a family and especially when my daughter should be eating between 2500 and 3000 calories a day. Her disability means she burns way more calories than an adult....it is almost as hard for me to cut calories to burn fat as it is for us to get more calories into her. Weird!
If you manage to eat five or more meals a day, plan out interesting meals that are not repetitive to the point you get board, you are a way better person than myself and I will admit that one. When I used to really diet hard and work to get in six or so meals a day I ate the same thing for each meal each day....
Breakfast 2 eggs scrambled with some veggies..no cheese,
Meal#2 1/2 Chicken breast with some low fat cheese or veggies
Meal#3 small salad...just veggies and some home made dressing
Meal#4 2 pc of fruit and a low fat yogert...small dab of yogert only
Meal#5 Pre work out meal of light salad with tuna, same home made dressing
Meal#6 1/2 chicken breast with some low fat cheese or veggies
EVERY DAY and EVERY MEAL was pretty much the same. I would swap Salmon for Tuna once and a while for shits and giggles and once a week the Chicken would change for Steak!
After a while I would be day dreaming of Pizza or Spaghetti! But the friggin diet works, oh and I only ate very small portions. The Dolip of yogurt was like two table spoons of Yogurt. That was my "I'm lean enough" Diet that was just to burn a bit more fat before the tournament. If I was trying to drop weight Meals 2,4 and 6 were swapped out for a meal shake...no fancy ones back then...basically chalk that they said was a flavour like Chocholate or Vanilla....but did not taste like it. Shakes have come a LONG way since the 80's and 70's!!!
Even monkeys fall out of trees!
