Ok, thanks for any help guys, I have a question about what healthy foods to eat. I've been through this before with successful weight loss.
So here's my story, I use to weight 250 pounds(Was at 270) and decided to start working out with some friends who use to play football in high school. I ended up getting down to 169 pounds(I'm 6'2) and felt I was too skinny looking(not ribs showing though).
I would do cardio for 20 minutes every single day, and 4 times a week I would lift weights for all parts of my body. I also did martial arts growing up and loved martial arts movie. I would punch/kick on the punching bag for at least 45 minutes just for enjoyment of it(which is a great workout!).
I would eat from a japanese restaurant that served Chicken, white rice, and shrimp sauce. I would eat half of it, and then later on in the night when I got hungry, I would heat up the remaining half and eat it. I did this about 85% of the time. Everyday single day. I also drank water all the time knowing it helps with weight loss. Other times I would eat from a fast food place and insteading of ordering my usual big meal from there, I would grab less(like 4 chicken nuggets, instead of 2 double cheeseburgers and a small fry) or a sandwich without fries if it's from a good restaurant.
My thing is lately I have been consuming salads(lettuce/cheese/ranch) to try and be healthy, since I'm getting motivated to get into a healthy life style since I quit smoking cigarettes a year ago. I mainly like chicken, steak, eggs, biscuits, pizza, sausage, beacon, mashed potatoes, fried tilapia and love white rice!
That's basically what I eat during the week( I eat pizza too, but I know that's not healthy). I do love putting cheese on my food, literally on everything I eat.
My question is what kind of healthy meals could I make and mention how to cook(I'll look up recipe or instruction on cooking it) with my criteria of foods?
