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.
With grain based carbs, try getting whole grain. Especially on a higher protein diet, the fiber you get from that is invaluable. And with potatoes, I’ve pretty much switched entirely to sweet potatoes. Toss them in honey and cayenne or mash them with salt and garlic, they’re delicious
