So, I'm trying to make a conscious effort to eat more healthy, less caloric foods. Except, everything that I find to be good and supposedly "healthy" are apparently not. Then, when alternatives are listed for those items, they either cost an arm and a leg, taste like straight ass, or both.

In order to have successful weight loss I believe that a lifestyle change has to made. I'm sorry, but I can not find myself eating rabbit food (salad) and nasty granola bars for the rest of my life. I already conditioned myself to where I will only drink water, and that helped me shed some pounds. But it isn't enough.

So, for all you health people out there, can you recommend some healthy foods that do not taste terrible? And PLEASE do not come in here posting about celery or carrot sticks because those are the worst things my mouth had the displeasure of tasting.

brown rice, rice pudding (skim milk)
chicken, fish, canned tuna (great cos of omega3)
oatmeal, oat porridge - cinnamon & honey, chocolate..

basically, opt for whole grains instead of simple carbs, get enough protein..

Oatmeal & Brown Rice are ****ing disgusting.

I love vegetables & fruit, so when I lost a lot of weight & got fit, this wasn't really a problem.

Eat granola, drink a lot of water.

But you gotta excersise too

i could live on those things.

it all really depends on your calorie intake. what is it?

If you can cook (which is easy anyway), here's a good website with healthy recipes:

just had my lovely oatmeal breakfast. love it.

simply go for good quality stuff.
thick-milled oats (no ready meals), a tiny bit of salt, a little sugar, and a lil butter when it's done.
you can make it on a hob, or even in a microwave.

(well, you can omit the butter if you want, but it adds lovely taste)

Go for fruits

I'm 5'11 and 140lbs now.
I was 170 at Spring Break, so I do know what I'm doing.

used to be ~200, so do i.

Strawberries, Bananas, Blueberries, Raspberries, Avocado, etc. Fruits taste good and your diet isn't complete without them.

Also, a serving of peanuts or cashews is healthy and delicious. And you can have natural peanut butter. Tastes good in oatmeal.

Just figure out your caloric intake.
Lean Cuisine makes delicious and filling pizzas. Also, some Stouffers meals will do.
It isn't expensive and they're delicious.

That's a bit too skinny, don't you think? A guy who's 5'9 should weigh at least 150.

Don't do it!! That's crazy skinny :mazen:

eat nuts as a mid morning snack because it fills you for the rest of the day and you won't feel that hungry at lunchtime and through the afternoon. therefore you can get away with just eating a small portion or a small sandwich for lunch. when you eat dinner, eat at about 6pm and don't eat ANYTHING after 8pm so that it gets burnt off before you go to sleep.

limit your sugar and salt intake and have a good breakfast every morning, that can go a long way in limiting hunger throughout the day. if you feel the need to snack, have fruit. you can still eat the junk foods you like, just make sure that you don't have it all the time and if you want to treat yourself, set a goal. eg: so say to yourself, i'm only going to eat this Snickers bar today and i'm not going to eat anything else bad for the next 4 days.

also if you're looking to lose weight, exercise helps too (if you don't already do so).

Fruits.
Eggs?

I can't really cook because I'm dorming and we only have a kitchenette. So I have to go by what the cafeteria happens to be serving. They usually have brown rice and tuna. I love oatmeal when it actually tastes good so I can probably make that.

My problem with fruit, especially the fruit they have here, is that they typically make me sick. Apples, watermelon, cherries, mangos, etc, etc are definitely a no go. The only fruits I can eat are strawberries, grapes, and occasionally bananas. They rarely have strawberries, and they never have grapes :sad:

I like peanuts and cashews, but does it matter that they are salted?

Tacos tbh

Grilled/Baked chicken breast. (No chicken wings or anything with skin though, the skin is very high cal).

Lean meats in general.

Fish.

If you need mayo, choose a light variant.

Granola bars are really high cal btw :deadbanana:

Nuts are delicious and healthy but are ridicously high cal (same amount of calories as potato chips), because they consist of like 50% fat. Not that great of an option when trying to lose weight.

Sliced (toasted) whole wheat bread with chicken/ham/lean meat and/or some light cream cheese (only 9% fat) is delicious and a filling breakfast. Avoid butter/margarine though. It's better than cereal/crispy muesli, which is tasty but basically candy.

Pasta with a red tomato based sauce is tasty and low cal. (just don't add fatty ground beef or too much cheese)

Subway (spicy) chicken 6" sandwich without cheese and mayo is tasty and not too bad for your diet.

If you order a burger, order one without mayo/cheese/bacon, it saves so much calories.

You could always just go on the baby food diet if the taste of healthy food bothers you. I'm currently trying it out.

Purge

Tacos tbh

Reported for me wanting Taco Bell now.

:o

Oatmeal is the ****!

It's just that people don't know how to make it right. I mean, making it with water? Seriously? :mazen:

Ew

2 or 1% milk would do just fine. I'm not a fan of skim, but that'd do too.

Baby food? Oh no girl, how would my grown ass look pulling out baby food to eat? :toofunny: It also sounds like a diet where I would gain all the weight I lost back once I stop.

Off Topic:

CEB where is your avi from?

On Topic:
Try to stay away from eating a lot of red meat. It's good here and there, but to much is bad for your health.

When you eat chicken, don't eat the skin.

Brown Rice is great.

For breakfast, try eating just the egg whites as opposed to the egg with the yolk. Take the yolk out. Don't add to much seasoning.

And everyone else pretty much said everything.

Tuna and light mayonnaise on a wheat bread roll
Try and use meat and fish like chicken and salmon with a basic sauce and some green vegetables with pasta
Use a grill pan when grilling any meat that has lot of fat on it like bacon - the fat will be sweated out and the meat will become leaner
Veal instead of red meat
Make egg white omelettes instead of normal omelettes

I'm a Uni student who tries to eat as healthily as possible - some people here seriously just live on instant noodles and McDonalds :deadbanana:

Healthy Food That Does Not Taste Like Ass?

Doesn't exist. :sad:

All seafood, especially salmon
Roasted chicken
Wheat bread drizzles with olive oil , sprinkled with salt, toasted on stove

Stir fried veggies
Soups, and potatoless stews

Virtually anything can be "healthy" if prepared so.

Since nobody else has yet, I shall ask the question... Why do you know what ass tastes like? :eli:

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I will try them all out.

And Beyondsay, my avi came from the behind the scenes of Beyonce's truestar commercial.

Since nobody else has yet, I shall ask the question... Why do you know what ass tastes like? :eli:

Because I decided to try celery. Pretty sure that it is no different from the actual experience.

Cabbage, most fruits, eggs, and water.




Along with a certain body juice that's not sweat or piss :-*

Fruits. Fruits **** all over vegetables, and y'all deal.
