This is my ideal meals for a week… I’m hoping we could share ideas on what to eat, something cheap and easy to prepare would be ideal.
Breaky (when i have it) cereal including… crunchy nut cornflakes, weetabix or porridge
For Lunch i normally have a cheese/ham toastie or a bacon or sausage sandwich and occasionally scrambled eggs on toast
Dinner
steak (4mins each side)
portion of mince (25mins in a pot with sauce) heat pasta
Diced Lamb (slow cooker then add sauce and boil rice)
Pork chops (4mins each side)
smash is a good side, baked beans, baby carrots
(thinking about getting fresh fish) but its not a favourite and idk what to have it with
scotch pies, sausage rolls
chicken in bread crumbs (heat in oven and serve with noodles)
snacks- pot noodle, crisps, cakes, biscuits
its mostly meat and i’m worried sometimes that i eat too much meat and idk if that is a good thing, i also worry that i dont eat enough greens and fear that i have a very bad diet
This week I had whole grain bagel with 2 boiled eggs and carrots and strawberries for breakfast, a turkey sandwich or leftovers for lunch and for dinner we had chicken and baked potato and apples and hotdogs and potato salad and broccoli. Sometimes i had snacks of core power protein shakes, ramen, low fat pork rinds or poptarts. I also had a bit of alcohol this week, just some fireball yesterday. A couple of days i had a monster energy drink because I was very tired.
Overall my diet is much healthier than it was. I used to get fast food/takeout 2 out of 3 meals a day and eat pretty much no fruits or veggies.
I’m trying to cut out take out food as much as i can, its very expensive and i feel like i am getting ripped off, its also not very healthy what i get,
like i can get a very good pizza with stuffed crust for £2 in the shops but in the takeaway it can be as much as £6-£7 or even up to £19.99 for a Dominos pizza which is extortionate.
Despite that I am still gaining weight like crazy I really need to count my calories every day, it is just exhausting. I need to cut out those junk snacks I mentioned too.
Im not a great cook, I only know about 20 meals. I normally cook things like spaghetti bolognese, lasagne, stroganovs, haddock. They are all pretty basic meals but, they all taste good.
