How My Real Meals Taste Good (To Me, At Least)

You don’t have the whole story straight. Now, I’m no master chef, but I can tell you this: straight rationing your grilled chicken, broccoli and rice is not the only way to do it.

For arguments sake, let’s just say you think it’s the only way. Fine, at least season it. Put some low-fat sauces on it, something. That’s better than having it straight. Plain grilled chicken ain’t it, and I say that as a big chicken guy. The seasoning and low-fat sauces are a great way to do it. Have regular sauces too, just don’t be a pig and load those empty calories up, be smart. And for you drinkers out there- have a drink, fine. Just don’t get plastered and you’ll be fine.

But let me tell you how I essentially “build my plate.” Here’s dinner as an example:

1.???? I find the protein—90% of the time it’s grilled chicken, and that’s because I prefer it over red meat or fish. It has some sauces on there. I take as much as I need

2.???? Get my carbs and veggies—usually a good amount of flavored rice, green beans are a personal favorite, whatever else, fiber-fiber-fiber

3.???? Here’s the kicker- now that I got what I NEED, I can afford some garbage. As long as it’s a reasonable amount, I’m good. I don’t really count anymore I just know an approximate

So, there you have it folks. No, this isn’t my only meal, it’s an example. You can ask me for more. I got a variety of other foods, plenty of junk at times too. But having the sauces, switching up the proteins (chicken, steak, eggs, fish, idk whatever other proteins you like) and prioritizing it with carbs is my MO. Health, fitness, business. Keep going.
