Me, too. As example, I buy a package of skin-free, no bone, chicken thighs, boil and put each in a little freezer bag, put the bunch in a larger Hefty freezer bag. You can use each plain or with whatever recipe you like. A pot of soup can be very heathy, when using a bowl full for a meal you can add the grain then or other difference for variety. Breakfast and lunch are the same thing everyday, no cooking.Starfish77 wrote:I am not keen on cooking and usually make big batches of whatever I cook creating a week's worth.
Also for ease and avoiding cooking - and my cholesterol is "ideal" thanks to the following I believe. "Fat" is by liquid form normally, butter is a treat rarely. Meat is small portion, normally skinless fowl or else a healthy fish (sardine, salmon, small skip jack tuna). Or a restaurant burger like Five Guys - where they have all-you-can-eat barrel of peanuts in the shell (for vitamins, I'm sure) - once in a while, and calves liver once a week or two for the vitamins. My breakfast everyday is a large bowl of instant whole-grain oatmeal, add a banana, separately a cup skim milk and coffee. Lunch whole grain bread with a nut butter (peanut or almond), or hummus, and some sliced greenhouse tomato or sweet pepper, a cup of OJ/calcium.
My gastro doc put me on the FODMAP diet after a bad reaction from an antibiotic. This removes foods and such that may causes gut problems - a gluten free, lactose free diet but much more. There is so much you can eat that won't upset you, potatoes! You then bring back items slowly to see what the effect is. I ended up bringing back everything but found a love for 100% sourdough spelt bread and lactaid milk with sugar already converted so it is sweet. I lost, and now maintain weight thanks to it.
