So my gf wants to loose some weight but her work load makes it near impossible for her to have time for the gym, shes tried eating what i do but that lasted about 3 weeks (im over chicken im over tuna) i like to keep it simple and cheap i can eat the same meals every day for the rest of my life and not care lol. What do you do!? I need some ideas on how to change it up but still have those base ingredents any help please!
I am like u and eat pretty standard foods week after week. Check out the recipe subforum for wonderful ideas.Quote:

I totaly missed the recipe forum ill check it out thanks!
She works 10 hour days plus travel time we can get some cardio in when we walk the dogs but most nights shes lucky to be home before 9:30 thats why i think if i can help her get her diet in check she'll start feeling alot better about herself
I see. Hopefully he situation is temporary. That's sweet that u r helping. She's feel better once her body has proper nutrition. One thing I noticed is I eat a lot more lean protein and veggies now. Little fruit and no bread when cutting except Ezekiel bread of course. Wishing you and gf the best.Quote:

Hi~ Samples of what I eat:
Whey shakes since I think a lot of gals love shakes! (And I know real food is better but might be better than the alternative)
Pancakes. I love 'em and eat 'em almost every single day.
Salads with grilled chicken is a great choice. And if ordering out double the chicken.
Salads with pork loin. And yes, some vets here approve of pork loin.
Go-lean Cereal with skim milk
Salmon with asparagus
Lobster tails with baked potato for a great treat to motivate
Greek grilled chicken on the stick with rice and salad
Tuna with lettuce and tomato
Plain greek yogurt with artificial sweetener and frozen berries or cacao nibs
The above has worked for me. I am into lifestyle and enjoyment since I want to be able to stick to it forever!
And consistency is the key. And.....slow wins the race......
Good luck to her!
