How is this which I eat for lunch 3x a week (at least) - Slimfast Chocolate Shake (190 calories) - 20oz of fruit salad with grapes, honeydew, cantoloupe, pineapple - Honey roasted peanuts I know its not much (likely 400-500 calories) but I eat that 3-5 times per week like aforementioned and usually eat grilled chicken breast for dinner and am just needing input on some other healthy but quick and easy dishes to buy/make. -Matt |

My diet is pretty plain. Some faves: Canned chicken or tuna with a bit of mayo and stone ground mustard Baked chicken with olive oil, kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and balsamic vinegar Coat chicken breasts in goat cheese (or your favorite cheese) and pistachios Salmon with a bit of honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, olive oil and toasted sesame oil Bacon Pot roast with a can of mushroom soup in a crock pot for the day Hell, you can pretty much throw anything in a crock pot and it will be fine. |

Don't eat carbs for dinner unless you're gonna workout afterwards. Otherwise you'll just have carbs sitting in your stomach which will get digested when you're sleeping; aka not getting burned off. To have an effective diet, you should also time when you eat certain meals and food items. |

|
|||||||
what? thats fucking retarded |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
How's it retarded? I could have a 2000cal diet but if i ingest 1500 of those calories early in the morning before i'm active, it all goes to waste. Sure you can eat more just after you've worked out b/c your metabolism is higher than it normally is during the day. Ingesting 2000 calories slowly throughout the day usually helps to keep your metabolism active so you burn it off more effectively. I'll rephrase the statement I made earlier. "Part of an effective diet is to time when you eat certain meals and food items". I didn't say it was the only part of an effective diet. Just check out bodybuilding.com (which i'm sure you have). People usually list what they eat and when they eat it. |

If you are training for a marathon and doing a lot of cardio activity, carbs in the evening are fine. If you are cutting, carbs should be avoided in the evening. |
