Thank you for the compliment. Often times I tend to just do lean protein and veggies for lunch and dinner. I shop at Costco/Sam's Club for the big
resealable bags of frozen chicken breasts. This allows me to take out just what I need...reseal the bag...and put the rest back in the freezer. I prefer buying frozen meat/protein because it lasts longer.
Also, I am a "single lady" so the big freezer bags allow me to take out two or three chicken breasts just for me. Instead of cooking a big meal and being tempted with leftovers.
There are other sources of frozen protein/meat I purchase in Costco's freezer section such as turkey burgers, individually wrapped salmon and other fish, scallops and shrimp. This gives me variety and again allows me to take out a portion size that is just enough for me.
I've heard some folks say that fresh meats and produce are better for you...but buying a bunch of fresh meat and procduce for just once person isn't good for my budget. And quite frankly I've relied on Costco's frozen meat/fish section for much of my weight loss...and I'm still breathing and kicking!
Also, the only things I drink are water, occasional coffee and decaf tea. I don't waste calories on things like soda or juices (even orange juice). My thing is if I'm gonna consume a lot of calories its gonna be on something I can chew not drink!
The only sweetner I use is Splenda. I buy it in the little packets (again from Costco) and use no more than 3 a day (not everyday, just if I do have something that requires sweetening.)
Near the bags of salad in the grocery store, there are bags of
alreadychopped/shredded red and white cabbage and broccoli slaw. I cook often cook this in a skillet, season with salt-free seasoning and have it with a protein/meat.
