Food is my number one struggle. I could work out all day every day, but if I don't have my food under control, I'm not gonna lose any weight. I hate it, especially when so many of my friends can just change what they eat and drop a ton of weight. It's so frustrating sometimes. I've cut back on my cokes significantly and had no change. I really have to work for my weight loss, and I know that it will end up being more special because I worked so hard for it, but right now, that's of little comfort. It's just annoying. Food is NOT my friend.
That's why I've been so excited to find some new food blogs (or rather, to have a best friend who finds new food blogs), especially Skinny Taste and Emily Bites. They both have great recipes that are good for your waistline but still taste great. My favorites have been the Shrimp Zoodle Parmesan and the Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice Casserole. Both are delicious and under 400 calories!
I also have found a great breakfast food that is quick and easy. I make a variation of the egg muffins from the SkinnyTaste cookbook with egg yolks, egg whites, sausage, ham, and cheese. Two muffins are 133 calories and have tons of protein. I still can't eat first thing in the morning, so I have a high protein shake in the car on the way to work, then around 9:00, I eat the egg muffins. Then I can usually make it to 12:00 without being completely HANGRY. If I don't have them, I'm hungry at 10:30.
Anyways, as I find new recipes that I love, I'll be sharing them here. Several of my friends are getting healthier now too, so I hope they enjoy the recommendations.
