Meal preparation

[dj_pacman51]

I'll cook all my meals for a week on sundays. So I grill up my steaks, bake my chicken , steam my fish and my veggies all on sunday and put them in tupperware and BAM they're ready for the microwave. The only meal I cook everyday is breakfast. I got tuna in those fresh pouches too. They're really convenient.

Its all about discipline man. Sure i'd love to go out with my friends and stuff a gut buster down with a brew, but I always remind myself of the prize for the pain im going thru now. Yea it sux, but im loving the strides im making.

X2 ..i also want to point out its about making right choices if ur out and didnt bring food..2 nights ago i hung out with my buddies at a beer and wings bar..while they all had beer and wings i order a grilled chicken house salad that came with lettuce, peppers, onions(got rid of these i hate them..lol) and tomatoes, plus i ordered smoked fish dip with celery and a large water... granted its bar food and might have hidden ingredients but its alot better than beer and wings....

Like most everyone else here, I cook all my meals before-hand and have them ready to go in tupperware when I need them: work, school, driving, etc. However, there are times when you forget your food at home or you didn't have time to get to the grocery store before closing, or you're at a bar with friends.

That's what makes the above such a great post! If you truly give a sh*t - there's always a way to have a reasonable healthy meal. Today, on my way home from class, I was starving because I ran out of eggs and had a shake for breakfast (it happens). So I went to chipotle, ordered a grilled chicken burritio bowl with some peppers and onions, pico de gallo, a little bit of guacamole and fresh corn salsa. I could have gotten a burrito that consisted of a tortilla and rice (2 simple starches!), cheese, and bacon beans - I chose to eat a decent meal. Sure it wasn't my usual flank steak with sweet potato and green beans, but it certainly helped more than it hurt. Don't make excuses, even mcdonald's and subway have grilled chicken breasts, lettuce, and vinaigrette dressings lol.

That Chipotle meal is a great example. I'm an absolute sucker for Chipotle, and usually end up making bad choices. At least I avoid the chips. I like your options a lot better -- I'll keep that in mind next time I'm lured in.

For the most part I dont do anything special. I'll jux find a low fat, zero sugar marinade and marinade the chicken over night and then bake at 400 F the next day. Or when im feeling like a chef i'll make a spice rub chop up some garlic and onions, drizzle some evoo and bake. I also tenderize the shit out of the chicken which is jux me jux pounding on it for awhile lol.
