I make vegetable juice (celery, tomato, spinach, beet, carrots, red pepper). problem is I hate to eat same food again and again.
I usually bake chicken breasts and keep eating them.. but i hate it...
Since today I have decided that im gonna have 3 shakes everyday and 2 meals with chicken.. I dont really eat that much sugar.. but I know that if i want to get toned and want to have dream body I cant afford to eat sugar at all...I sometime get chocolate covered almonds and get carried away with them(eat like 10-15 everyday).. its almost like eating candy... I also cannot avoid coffee.. i need min 2 cups of coffee/day...
I want to know what do u guys do when its your time to eat and you don't have food? I get hungry and start eating carbs... I really want to know some easy recipes for high protein low carb meals... thanks
About workout routine:
I workout monday to friday. I have started going to the gym at 630 AM. I try to get some cardio i the evening at least 3 time/week.
I do crossfit.. I love using kettlebells...
The stuff about meals is not that explanatory as I can't see how what you said fits into a daily schedule, but I'd say don't waste time on the 3 shakes thing, weight loss shakes are just low calorie things with loads of vitamins and minerals put in as something to brag about, ut your body needs calories to burn for exercise.
Sedentary females need 1,800 calories a day if preferable, so add a few hundred more for basic exercise and you're looking at 2,100-2,200 approximately.
So 6 meals a day, with around 350 calories a meal approximately should be fine, or alternatively 450 in meal 1, 350 in meals 2,3,4 and 5 and 250 in meal 6.
Fast simple Meals include things like Omelettes, with things like Ham, Mushrooms, Low Fat Cheese, Spinach, Tomato.
Low Fat Cheese and Peanuts
Soup.
Ham, Chicken or Turkey Sandwiches.
Stir fry with Pork, Beef, Chicken or Lamb and things like Peas, Beans, Sliced Peppers, Mini Corn Cobs etc.
