Neither are realistic. Quinoa is awful in my opinion and the best thing about rice is itâs cheap per calorie (and itâs kcals/acre is high). Quinoa is a meme food.
Also you donât have your calorie goals or portions. Rice is easy to overeat if youâre not measuring portions and if youâre cooking it in oils. Also given the amounts of fats included in here, itâs worth mentioning that theyâre 9 calories per gram.
Sweet potato and nuts are overrated while were at it.
The desire to have cheat meals is because of making diet choices that are unpalatable and not satiating. Iâm a big fan of Greg Doucetteâs recipe book for this reason. Eating French Toast every morning is amazing.
Eating healthy is about making the right food choices first. One of the factors is making sure youâll like your food enough to stick with the food.
Also if youâre cutting, low-calorie popcorn is an amazing diet food.
Yeah, I eat protein pancakes/preotein french toast in the morning. Make your diet fun but use low calorie stuff like sugar free or low sugar/calorie condimentsâŠlike Walden Farms maple syrup, etc. I like eating wheat puff cereal with cashew milk mixed in with protein powder and topped with fruit. Stuff like that is fun to eat. Your diet looks boring, but if you can eat it I guessâŠwhy not. But thereâs a lot of low calorie things you can add to spruce things up and if youâre not afraid of artifical sweetners they can really make things a lot more palatable. Iâm just learning though so probably better to listen to others more experienced.
Going to echo what others have said, but need a lot more information on goals, other food options, etc. unless youâre eating this everyday? As in this is the diet?
Same here. Stan Efferdingâs book is also 100 dollars, and doesn;t seem worth it to me. Especially when I can piece the big picture through my own research and their free content, and still come to an effective plan.
The foods you list are all good choices. But your question is weird: would you eat only one of these foods each day? Even if you rotated every other day, you would have a diet that is cleaner and less varied than almost anyone.
So, yes. Eat both of these days. Adjust the amounts for your caloric needs and weight-loss goals.
I buy protein powder regularly, at least the cook book is a one-time purchase. However, most of it is online for free if you really need to pinch pennies.
I think one can afford several recipe books for 99$ rather than purchasing just the one. Especially at a thrift store. Recipes tend to be somewhere between 500-700 calories for main meals, and with nutrition data so readily available it shouldnât be to hard to calculate for a few recipes at a time that youâd want to try for a week. Just write it directly in the book for easy access next time.
FWIW, I donât think sharing this is particularly cool to the creator. I know Iâm in my post above debating the merits of the purchase and potentially costing him a sale but this certainly costs him sales and gives away his product. Although, I suppose one could download it and think âI got value from this so Iâll purchase a copyâ. Not something I consider likely.
