Current Events > CE: How do you stay eating healthy?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I find the main challenge being that its... well... boring? I guess? Just seems like I ate a lot of the same food that doesnt taste as good as unhealthy food that has more variety. After a while I would look in my fridge or cabinet and not want anything in it because its always the same stuff for the most part. I just end up going back to fast food and/or eating out.

How do you guys spice it up where you are actually have enough healthy variety and all that variety actually tastes good? I was doing great for a few months but then Im back to eating fast food or eating out because it isnt the same old chicken breasts, fish/shrimp and beef with some veggies.

I'm easily able to eat the same thing and not get bored as long as it tastes good, which I've realized, not everyone can really do.

Looking up recipes will go a long way, you'd be amazed at just how much flavor will change simply by cooking the meat differently.

TC, buy a cookbook that focuses on healthy recipes that arent too labor intensive.

That way you can whip up great tasting food, not get bored, and not break your bank.

Sounds like a great idea. I never bought a cook book before tbh. I always just winged it lol

spicy food isn't bland and doesn't add any calories

I can cook so there's no real correlation at all between healthy and blandness.

Bland isnt what Im saying. Its just the same stuff over and over. Im not an amazing cook so I dont really experiment but it always tastes good to me. Im not a picky person. I think buying a cook book would be great for me so I can start experimenting. Maybe Ill become a phenomenal cook like yourself

Find something you like cooking that tastes well then. There's 5 go to dishes I can go to any day of the week. Also, experimenting new meals can end up ruining your diet and cost a lot of money.

Maybe. I was forced into learning to cook because I am allergic to a lot of the additives that end up in processed food. Now I have dozens of cook books and can cook limitless different stuff. I suggest learning some basic skills to start with like prepping and using a pan/wok properly and work towards learning to cook things you know you really enjoy. You'll get used to it and it's amazing how easy it is to completely transform a dish just by swapping a few ingredients. Another important thing to remember about healthy eating is that sometimes the biggest problem is your portion size.

just eat the same stuff everyday
