Meal prepping

Just like making a plan to deal with temptation, I think making a plan for a healthy diet is very valuable. When I'm not horny, I can make a plan so that when I feel the urge, I have a strategy to resist. In the same way, when I'm not hungry, I can make a plan about what I will eat, so I make good choices when the time comes.

I have looked up a variety of healthy meal options online and have collected some recipes of meals that sound appetizing, are not too hard to make, and filled with some variety. Sometimes, I go back through my list of recipes and plan out a shopping list. It's a good and positive activity that can take my mind of other sexual temptations.

Most of the time, I prepare food that can serve for at least 3 meals. A couple hours in the kitchen on one day can take care of a couple days of healthy food.

Just my thoughts...

 

I only cook twice a week. I will cook lunch and dinner for the week on sunday then cook one dinner and lunch halfway through the week. Saved heaps of money and time this way.

 

I've not had the best luck with getting consistent, but the times I am is a really great feeling, I would start with breakfast and prep that for a few weeks and then start adding. Trying to do all at once always causes me to fail. Not a pro at it yet, but on days especially where I have work, I make a big effort to prep. Slow cooker is amazing too, really easy, and you can make an entire day's worth of meals overnight.

 

It's good when there is a technique for cooking, in other cases I know that this does not happen and many people just can not make their favorite food.

 

I've had difficulty with meal prepping as well. Ideally, I'd like to meal prep Sunday and wednesday. Make Breakfast lunch and dinner with some leeway in case I want to get something or if my folks want to cook something for dinner. However, finding recipes I'm willing to eat for 3 days straight can be tough too. There is a youtube guy named Josh Cortis that makes some good meal preps (I'm actually going to try his stealthy mac n cheese this week). I know Babish has a meal prep episode that isn't too bad.

As for equipment, you can really use any containers you have. You don't have to buy expensive glass containers. Just get ones that work for your needs. I use the cheapo walmart ones and they work just fine. I wish I had more to say on this, but this is an area I struggle with too.

EDIT: Oh I forgot one thing. Don't sleep on frozen veggies and fruits. They can be a life saver for efficient prep. Dan Guisti has these cheap meal videos on youtube as well that can give some inspiration.

 

Meal prepping is by far the N°1 skill I want to get into. I tried it two days ago and it went well but I ended up overeating way too much anyway

 

Ah see this is the major problem for me. I don't know how people eat the same thing every day. Even my favourite foods, I get bored of if I eat the same thing in a 2 weeks period. I am bored extremely easily food wise

 

co-workers say that Im skinny and I dont eat enough...which is true.I want to eat more...but because of gastric issues i cannot over indulge in eating.I'de like to because im hungry at times and want to eat more but not sure if its anxiety that when i start to eat i think that my stomach is filling up with air and thus keeps me from eating alot.That's why Im slim...because of this...amny suggestions?
