What kind of meals can I prepare that are tasty but healthy and low in fat?
I recently started working out and I am starting to get into a rut with what to eat each day. It seems like I eat the same things over and over. It’s hard to figure out what to cook when you’re trying to eat healthy. I need some things that I can rotate from week to week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I like most all seafood with the exception of oysters. I like most all vegetables with the exception of carrots, cauliflower or beets. I like chicken, turkey drumsticks and wings, ground beef and ground turkey, fish (catfish, tilapia and salmon are my favorites). I love to bake or pan-fry meats and I use canola or olive oil. I also use the Crisco olive oil in the can.
No potato or rice recipes please. Healthy!!! 10 points to the best answer.
Since we are limited on space, let me suggest "the New Mayo Clinic Cookbook." The Mayo Clinic is the leading health institute in the country. Not only is EVERY recipe healthy, but they tell you what you are receiving in every serving. If you dont want that, I would recommend Oatmeal in the morning with a tablespoon of flaxseed oil and a couple of walnuts. This not only gives you pleanty of Fiber, but your essential fatty acids like Omega 3,6 as well. It will be good for your heart, and brain as well. For dinner experiment with some quinoa. This is a super grain and you cook it basically just as you would rice. Add some Spinach, parmessan, garlic and you wont be sorry. Try cooking it in some vegetable broth for more flavour. Serve it like a healthier Risotto. For snack, try some yogurt. This will nourish your digestive track as well as fend off cold buy providing your body with good bacteria. Also try and incorporate Green Tea in the morning (cause its caffeinated) and Red (Roiboos) tea at night. There are high in anti-oxidants which beat off free radicals which encourages cancer. It will also speed your metabolism, increase your endurance, and fend off viruses. Try, the new mayo clinic cookbook though, it is loaded with HEALTHY recipes if you want a bunch more! (Just bring your pen & paper to the book store if you want to try it first to copy recipes =p) Good Luck!
What's for Dinner? Baked Tilapia & Roasted Tomatoes
Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very hard to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appearance. I must say you have done a superb job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Internet explorer. Outstanding Blog!
