I’m trying to lose a lot weight and gets some rigidness to my form. I got the gym stuff worked out, but the diet stuff seems so hard to figure out in my case.
I live with quite a lot of people at the moment, and a couple of us want to start going to the gym and eating healthy. But I think creating lots of food for everyone is important. I really don’t know how it’s possible to meal prep for all of us, for both lunch and dinner. Also I feel like variety is important. I don’t want to eat grilled chicken breast with rice every single lunch and dinner while still reaching my protein goals. But spending the time to create unique food every other day is too much. What do all of you do/did to lose weight and get in shape? Is it normal to have the same food every day?
Do I only meal prep lunch? Is it every single day, or only a certain number of days a week? I’m a rookie here. I need pointers. I feel like I’m overthinking this.
Ok so if there’s several of you then sit together to create a meal plan and then delegate
So for example Bob makes dinner which is a grain bowl with roasted veggies and pan fried tofu with barley.
And Sam makes dinner the next night a bean based veggie chili with cabbage slaw
Or whatever you decide. Then one person cooks for the group each night
Lunches yes prep ahead your own, doesn’t have to be the exact same thing every day. Often I’ll prep two options, a bean based soup or stew, and a grain veggie lentil salad thing like with kale and barley and lentils and walnuts and some shredded carrots or other sturdy veg
At the gym for weight loss cardio is the way to go
