Common Meals/Foods you Eat!?

[DarkLight]

Sup All!

So I was wondering what foods/meals most of you eat regularly!?

I think a big hindrance to most people's fitness is their lack of knowledge in regards to proper diet. I know its probably my biggest sticking point. As eating some random sh!t thats easily accesible is just the only thing thats available in some moments.

So maybe the collective foods/meals mentioned here, would bring some light to others and more unthought of options for a healthier diet.
(I'd also think seeing the commonalities, would be of great value)

All responses appreciated.

Fill your freezer and refridgerator with stuff that can multitask: Steak, Chicken, eggs. Lots of veggies and fruit. Dude, eat what you want.

 

[DarkLight]

Right on Espi.
This is what I'm lookin for.

Do you also have a cutting diet? (or anything of like)

Everyone else please list their foods/meals as well.
Then all anyone has to do, is read this thread to get an overall understanding of healthy diet, and the foods it consists of. Also they can mix and match from everyone's variety, and/or learn from the value of the commonalities.
Cheers'

Natural peanut butter and honey on whole wheat or multigrain toast - on some days when I am too busy to cook, that is all I eat.

Also, imo, the best cheap and healthy meal from a convenience store is the 50 cent packages of roasted peanuts and bottled water (not Dasani - it's salt water).

 

[DarkLight]

Right on.

I like all the food/meal ideas thus far. Good to have some creative options in mind to incorporate.

I heard roasted peanuts aren't the way to go though. As the roasting kills alot of the natural enzymes, that would be the most beneficial health wise. Lightly salted (or unsalted) and natural is the way to go.

Keep the ideas coming. good sh!t!

 

[Bible_Belt]

It may be a mix of good and bad either way.

Roasted peanuts are thought to offer more protection against aflatoxin, plus roasting is also thought to improve peanuts' digestibility.

Espi, I think you're eating 300% the recommended saturated fats and cholesterol JUST from those 6 eggs your eating...it should be the other way round. ONLY eat the eggwhites. The yolk will kill you.

 

[PumpNightmare]

Nothing set, but the main part of my diet is chicken. I always keep the freezer stocked up with boneless, skinless chicken. For $1.99lb when its on sale, I buy several pounds worth. ^^

Chicken fried rice w/ stir fry
Chicken Cesear Salad
Spegheti and meat
Baked Chicken w/random canned/frozen vegies (corn, peas, asparageas, etc)
Pancakes and eggs
Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwitches
Pork chops (once and a while)
Tuna/salmon salad sandwitches
Footlong sub from subway once a week...kind...varies

Normaly have with some Arizona Green Tea or water. I might have soda once a week or so at most...alcohol once a week also. Not the healthiest diet, but nothing to bad. I snack on sweets a couple times a week, but other then that I don't bother.

Instead of those gross egg whites, I eat Egg Beaters--full eggs, but with no fat, and they taste like normal eggs. You can get them at any grocery store.

Oh dear.

 

[mrRuckus]

The yolk will kill you.

I eat 4 yolks a day.

Email me in 40 years and see if i'm still around.

 

[Fitch]

Wait, which is the good part of the egg? The yolk (the yellow) or the egg white (the white section).

 

[Skilla_Staz]

The egg white is the 'good' part for us to consume. The yolk is where all the cholesterol and fats and stuff are. That is the part that would become the chicken. The egg whites are the nutrients that would feed the offspring.



I think...

 

[typical]

Rolled oats aka porridge is the bestest carbs ever

 

[Bible_Belt]

I mix oatmeal with peanut butter and honey. Bananas are good with it as well, or any other fruit, like frozen blueberries, which are also a great snack by themselves.

I just fill my fridge with ground beef and chicken and eat lots of cans of tuna and eggs.

I probably have a whey shake with every meal. Lots of times i put olive oil or flaxseeds in it. I try to stick some vegetables in along with a few meals a day... usually broccoli or spinach.

typical meals are some combination of

whey,tuna, olive oil or ground flaxseed
whey, 2 or 3 beef patties
whey, chicken, oatmeal
whey, tuna, whole grain bread
whey, 4 hard-cooked eggs (with yolks, ya pansies)

an apple and/or banana somewhere in there with the other carbs...

Post workout meal is something like
2.5 scoops whey, green gatorade mix, 3g creatine ethyl ester, glutamine peptides, apple juice. My green apple surprise! The surprise is that glutamine doesn't mix for crap and floats on the top and tastes like poo. But once I drink off the top layer it's good.


Then my before bed meal is a mix of
whey, egg white protein powder, calcium caseinate


I also take a multivitamin/multimineral and a separate 1000mg tablet of vit c.

I probably get too much protein from whey, but... oh well. I buy it 50 lbs at a time and i don't really have time to cook any more meat.. i'm rarely at home.

I just had this for breakfast:

Microwave some oats with a small amount of water, making some thick oatmeal. Then add as much cinnamon as you can stand and some natural peanut butter. Sweeten to taste with a little molasses, honey, or sugar in the raw.

The meal is a little low on protein, but it goes well with a protein shake. The oatmeal-cinnamon-peanut butter combination is packed with antioxidants, nutrients, and other beneficial plant compounds that fight cancer and heart disease.
