Dinner:
Half because I eat healthy, and half because I'm broke.
I hope your not eating more than 2 servings of Tuna per week, high in mercury if you do. I also enjoy this treat but lately I have switched to plain lowfat yogurt.

We have to have a First Class medical every 6 months for the FAA (ATP). I lost 24 lbs last time between medicals. My blood pressure was at the bottom of the range and the Dr asked if I was eating healthy?
Marlborough Lights, Diet Coke and Peanut M&Ms.
It's not bad at all, but everyone is different.
That's about how I am. I eat healthy for my meals (small, 6x/day) but allow myself a little treat each day - a couple bites of ice cream, couple pieces of chocolate. I'm only 24 but I also work out 4-5x/wk. I figure if you get the main things right (most people don't know just how bad most of the stuff they are eating is for you) you can indulge a little as well, as long as you keep it within reason.80/20 rule. Eat healthy 80% of the time, and the other 20% is not going matter much. Everything in moderations.

Yes as best I can. I cook all my meals and dont eat crap, and no this is not a new years thing it's a I want to live long to enjoy my life thing.
Some people do not understand foods though, is eating bacon and eggs okay for you? Sure it's good eggs are the most complete protein you can eat, bacon is fine as well if you get all natural without the nitrates. The key is when I eat food it is doing a job, I have to eat about 300g a day or proteen to keep getting stronger so that's a lot of eggs / beef / chicken / shakes. I also hired a great nutritionist to help me with my meal plans, this guy also does the foods for the LA Lakers.
The key for me is keeping the carbs about 120-150g, protein at 300g +- 30 and fats as much as I want but dont go too crazy because they are very cal dense = 9cals per gram.
P.S. The ONLY time I eat fruit or anything sweet is around my workout to help get the protein into my body.
P.S.S I gained 25 pounds of lean body mass last year so it must be working![]()
I don't eat junk very often and we don't keep much in the house, so that's a big help. You can't eat what isn't available!
I take my lunch to work each day and it's the same thing we ate for supper the day before, so that's usually pretty healthy. My wife is full-time at home now so she's making a "real" supper every single night. It's great!
So, that means a good piece of meat for protein, a salad, and some side dishes (veggies, usually, or potatoes) and a bit of bread. Juice or water to drink. Nothing fatty and not much sugar-loaded food (the juice is the worst, probably).
I'll usually grill six or eight chicken breasts on Monday night with half of them done with one marinade and the other half with another. We'll eat some that night (grilled chicken a caesar salad with homemade dressing), I'll take a few to work over the next few days, and then we'll do chicken pitas or wraps (with the other marinaded chicken) another night. That makes it cheap to eat ($11 for five pounds of chicken breast at Sam's Club) and healthy, too. My wife will usually do some ribs or steak or something for another two nights, plus we'll have one night where we'll just do something fast and easy.
For breakfast, I always have a fruit smoothie (one cup yogurt, one cup fruit, 2/3 cup of fruit juice). Occasionally I'll grab a muffin as well (blueberry or chocolate).
Get that fruit juice out, look on the back it's all sugar and no fruitabout 120 cals for 8oz too, milk is a much better choice at the same cals for full fat.

Milk doesn't generally agree with me. I'm not lactose intolerant, per se, but I'm definitely somewhat sensitive to it. Upsets my stomach occasionally. I don't think 2/3 cup (about 5 ounces) of sugary juice is going to be my downfall...
I think Ryan might be referring to welchs and Hi-c stuff. You can get the organic juices and just read the label. Most of the Welchs and others have HFCS plus sugar. Natural sugars are ok.
Also have you tried Rice milk? I'm lactose intolerant when it comes to drinking milk and find rice milk a good alternative.
I've eaten healthy all my life, but especially in the last five years since I've been in remission from cancer.
I eat as healthy as I can. Meaning, all fresh made, mostly veggies with a little meat added, always a good Mediterranean or similar salad on the side and so on. I'm a pretty good cook which allows room for a variety of foods. I tend to cook Greek, Balkan and Chinese foods.
I have the Magic Bullet food processor and I've been crazy about shakes lately. Banana + Blueberry + Fat Free Yogurt = Awesome!
Bad habit - When drunk, I may make a Tostinos Pizza. I sometimes eat late at night which is a no-no! I also smoke when I drink. I need to quit both but my hopes are high now since I'm moving to Denver on Monday. I'll be partying less.
