I'm a 36 y/o bachelor. Considering how much canned, frozen, and processed food I consume I'm amazed that I'm not 300+ pounds...

(currently hovering around 210)

It is extremely easy to eat decently healthy and still have things that taste good

just look for recipes without excessive butter, oil, and cream, and flavored with seasonings, spices, peppers, onions, and garlic

just make banana bread and snack on almonds

Yeah your average banana bread has like a stick of butter in it lol

You have to cook if you want good tasting healthy food

Surprised no one here mentioned kidney beans yet

Wild rice.
It smells like an old boot that's been at the bottom of a pond for thirty years, but it tastes great.

All this banana talk...

obviously not everything is healthy but you just gotta look by the recipe. Id start with the favorites section

I need to reevaluate what I cook. Apparently, I am having too many refined and processed cards - white rice, pasta, potatoes... I had no idea that that contributes to cholesterol far than fatty meat.

My cholesterol is 212. Not horrible but gotta bring that down or at least keep it stable. At least my HDL is great from running

Plenty of chicken dishes that you can cook are at least somewhat healthy. At least much more than straight up junk food.

if you're open to meatless recipes, i can throw a few at ya. i think they all taste great.

good stuff, bookmark'd.

i use http://budgetbytes.com quite a bit. her stuff is aimed at being cheap and healthy. everything i've tried has been good or better. but after a while the stuff tastes sorta similar because her ingredient list is somewhat limited

Yeah, this is helpful and along the lines of what I am thinking. I also just asked my dietician friend and she said being sedentary is also an issue. I was like, "I'm a runner", but she asked if I sit on my butt every day for hours straight. Yeah, I work from home, so I need a 5 minute break every hour to move around.
