Hello Loseit members. Firstly I'd just like to say that if this is in the wrong place or doesn't meet the guidelines of this subreddit, I'll gladly remove it.
tl;dr - I need help making changes to the food I eat, please if you can help me make a somewhat easy to follow meal plan where I can freeze most of the food, I'd be forever grateful.
I'm a 24 year old guy. 186cm tall (6ft 1in) 124kg (273 pounds / 19.5 stone) (I know bmi really isn't the best measure) (36 bmi)
I don't have any measuring tape on hand so I can't do those sorts of measurements.
What I'd like to ask, is a few things really.
My 25th Birthday is 43 weeks away. I'd LOVE to be around 85 kg by then (39kg lost) The number doesn't matter, its more or less a case of me knowing that it is around the healthy range for my size.
I know I should be eating about 1800-2200 calories a day. I know how to count calories.
My downfall is that I find any excuse in the book to not cook. And I have very little motivation to do so.
A few restrictions that I have.
- I can't cook food before 8am, I usually have to leave the house by 10am.
- Limited fridge space. (one smallish shelf + fruit area)
- 2 days a week I don't get home until 10pm
What I've got going for me
- Access to big freezer space.
- Access to fresh eggs/raw milk/really fresh fruit and vegetables (I exchange pasta that I make for fresh produce in a bartering style trade)
- At work, breaks are every 2 hours.
- Work has a microwave and a refrigerator
- I have my own road bicycle and gym membership that I never use (but that is more or less a case of lacking motivation)
My biggest downfall right now is that I have always lived a very unhealthy relationship with food. My mother had the worst attitude for food I can possibly imagine and I've taken those habits with me.
I know it's a cop out, I control my own destiny. I can cook food, I just find it very, very hard to plan this sort of thing. Usually what happens is that I go to the supermarket, I get a whole bunch of fruit and vegetables. They end up rotting in the fridge.
What I'd really appreciate some help with, is some ideas on things I can make that I can freeze. Or something that can be stored up to a week in the fridge.
I've seen so many recipes and the sorts, I just need some sort of grounding. You know, like a small plan for things I could eat for breakfast lunch and dinner with some fruit sprawled along.
Things I'll never eat. 1. scrambled eggs 2. scrambled eggs 3. scrambled eggs
I have 5kg of chicken drumsticks sitting in the freezer. I was planning on brining them and taking the meat and using it for salad sandwichs and reheatable dinner protein.
Not a huge fan of red meat unless it's bacon. I do enjoy steak, it's just very expensive where I am. I'm open to using liver/kidney/heart.
Making pasta is what I do in my spare time (barely eat it though) Also, very good at making a nice hummus with tahini, garlic, lemon juice and paprika. Also able to roast chickens, make bread, roast lamb, make spaghetti, follow recipes.
If anybody is able to give me a little bit of a guideline of what to have, I'd be forever appreciative. I don't mind if it's rice and chicken with vegetables, just as long as I'm able to store it frozen. Cooking every day is out of the question.
