healthy foods and recipes that i use on a daily basis(>•<)💭🍣

these r just some recipes for foods that i eat every single day, and they r healthy and easy to make. they r also great if u have a busy lifestyle bcuz they're super easy and quick to make <3

remember to eat yummy food that fuels u 💗

SALADS -

carrot salad - carrots! carrots r an amazing source of vitamin A and isn't only beneficial for ur skin, but also ur eyesight, and ur immune system; for the recipe i'd wash a carrot and shave it, then add one cap of apple cider vinegar and olive oil, with salt and pepper and i'll eat that as a side dish along with my meal

cucumber salad - cucumbers r also an amazing source of hydration and is great for ur skin. just slice a couple cucumbers and add olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili flakes

meditteranean salad - dice cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and make a vinaigrette using lemon, olive oil, and salt and pepper and add those all together with some basil for a hydrating delicious salad

SNACKS -

pan con tómate - its simply toasted bread with oil, grated tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper

apple slices and peanut butter

frozen grapes with lime juice on top

literally any assortment of veggies with lime juice and salt

sliced fruit bowls with lemon juice

DINNERS -

how i make tofu - so i always use firm tofu and i'll dry it with a paper towel just to make sure that its dry (make sure to drain the excess water) and on a separate plate i'd add some flour, and seasonings of my choice. then coat the tofu in the flour and put it on a hot pan (approximately 5 min per side of tofu) or until its crispy, and then i'll make a sauce, usually with soy sauce, ginger and honey.

cucumber sushi - i'd wash and shave cucumbers, then take the shavings and lay them out as though it was wrapping paper (if that makes sense) then dry it with a paper towel so that the ingredients can stick onto it. then i'd fill it with sticky rice, sauces, tuna sometimes, or literally anything u wanna fill it with and then roll it up like u would do with sushi and cut it into pieces.

SANDWICHES -

sandwich one - take a hard boiled egg and break it down in a bowl, and add some mayo and mustard (trust) to create a paste like mixture. spread all that onto some bread. then add some lettuce, tomato, and cucumber.

BREAKFASTS -

overnight oats - in a container, add some oats, greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, fruits of choice (i often use strawberries or blueberries) and almond milk and then shake that up and let it stay in the fridge overnight for an easy breakfast in the morning.

chia seed pudding - add three tablespoons of chia seeds into a container, half a cup of almond milk, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, and some honey (add coco powder if u like chocolate) and then put that in the fridge overnight.

What food to eat when losing weight?

Sustainability Matters: Crash diets or focusing on single "miracle" foods are often difficult to maintain long-term, leading to frustration and yo-yo dieting.

Focus on Whole Foods:

Build your meals around these for weight loss and overall health:

Fruits and Vegetables: Low in calories, high in fiber, and packed with essential nutrients. Aim for a rainbow of colors for a variety of vitamins and minerals.

Whole Grains: Brown rice, quinoa, whole-wheat bread/pasta provide sustained energy and fiber to keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Lean Protein: Grilled chicken, fish, beans, lentils, or tofu offer satiety and support muscle building, which helps burn more calories.

Here are some examples of meals that incorporate these principles:

Breakfast: Greek yogurt with berries and a sprinkle of granola, whole-wheat toast with scrambled eggs and spinach, oatmeal with sliced banana and nut butter.

Lunch: Tuna or chicken salad sandwich on whole-wheat bread with lettuce and tomato, lentil soup with a side salad and whole-wheat crackers, leftovers from dinner (controlled portion size).

Dinner: Baked salmon with roasted vegetables and brown rice, chicken stir-fry with mixed vegetables and brown rice, vegetarian chili with a side salad and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Healthy Snack Ideas:

Apple slices with almond butter

Carrot sticks with hummus

Handful of mixed nuts and dried fruits (unsweetened)

Cottage cheese with sliced cucumber and tomato

Plain yogurt with a sprinkle of chia seeds

Additional Tips:

Portion Control: Use smaller plates and bowls to avoid overeating.

Seasoning: Herbs and spices add flavor without extra calories.

Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay full and support overall health.

Limit Processed Foods: These are often high in calories, unhealthy fats, added sugars, and sodium, hindering weight loss efforts.

Nourishing Your Body After Baby: 20 Postpartum Superfoods

Congratulations on your bundle of joy! As a new mom, taking care of yourself is just as important as caring for your newborn. Your body has been through an incredible journey, and proper nourishment is key to replenishing your energy levels, aiding recovery, and supporting milk production if you're breastfeeding. Here are 20 powerhouse foods that should be on your postpartum menu:

1. Oatmeal

This humble grain is a postpartum all-star. Oatmeal provides gentle carbs to replenish your glycogen stores and is packed with fiber to keep your digestive system running smoothly.

2. Eggs

Eggs are an excellent source of protein, which can help soothe those sore muscles from labor. Look for omega-3 fortified eggs for an extra nutritional boost.

3. Apples

Crisp and refreshing, apples can help clean your palate and provide much-needed fiber and hydration.

4. Chicken Soup

There's a reason chicken soup is a classic remedy – the broth is hydrating and replenishes electrolytes lost during labor.

5. Nuts and Nut Butters

Nuts and nut butters are a convenient source of healthy fats and protein, providing sustained energy for those sleepless nights.

6. Fatty Fish

Salmon, tuna, and other fatty fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for your baby's brain development if you're breastfeeding.

7. Avocados

Avocados are another excellent source of healthy fats, which are essential for your recovery and overall well-being.

8. Lean Meats

Lean meats like chicken, turkey, and lean beef provide protein, iron, and zinc to prevent anemia from blood loss during childbirth.

9. Leafy Greens

Load up on nutrient-dense leafy greens like spinach, kale, and Swiss chard. They're packed with folate, iron, and fiber to support your postpartum needs.

10. Yogurt

Yogurt is a versatile postpartum food that provides probiotics to aid digestion and protein for recovery.

11. Beans and Lentils

These plant-based powerhouses are excellent sources of protein, fiber, iron, and zinc – all essential nutrients for postpartum recovery.

12. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A, which plays a crucial role in postpartum tissue healing.

13. Berries

Antioxidant-rich berries like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries provide vitamin C for wound healing and overall immune support.

14. Whole Grains

Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-wheat bread offer energizing complex carbs and fiber to keep you feeling satisfied.

15. Bone Broth

Sipping on bone broth is a comforting way to support tissue repair, as it contains collagen, a key component of connective tissue.

16. Seeds

Nutrient-dense seeds like chia and flaxseeds provide fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for postpartum recovery.

17. Bananas

Bananas are a great source of potassium, which can help restore electrolyte levels after childbirth.

18. Bell Peppers

Colorful bell peppers are loaded with vitamin C, which aids in recovery and immune function.

19. Milk

If you're breastfeeding, milk is a must-have for hydration, protein, calcium, and vitamin D.

20. Water

Last but not least, water is crucial for milk production and overall recovery. Aim for at least 96 ounces (or about 3 liters) of water daily. Remember, the key to postpartum nourishment is focusing on nutrient-dense foods rich in protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. These foods will aid in healing, boost energy levels, and support milk production if you're breastfeeding. Nourish your body, and it will nourish your baby. Enjoy this special time with your little one, and don't forget to take care of yourself, too!

For @starblue2406

Here are a few things I'll eat in a day. I typically don't eat a big breakfast, but I will have a big lunch. Dinners in my family are late, usually 6pm to 8pm, we typically walk after dinner, then I'll drink tea to relax before bed.

You'll probably notice a lack of beef and pork, I have trouble digesting them, so it's mostly chicken and seafood. My family also don't eat a lot of bread, it's treated more like a side than a meal.

And yeah, there's a quite a mix of cultures here. My mom's side is Greek/Egypt with Turkish influences from her great grandfather, my dad is Native American with some adopted local New Mexico flavors. Since I was originally born and raised by the ocean, seafood and sea vegetables are a big thing in my diet. They're hard to find in the southwest, but I crave them and they keep me healthy as I have low blood pressure, so I need a bit of healthy salt.

New food rules

Since I’ve been so out of control lately, I was thinking of creating new food rules and sticking to them as I really need to watch out my weight 😔

1. Breakfast: it can be heavy, but nutritious.

• have a bowl of yogurt with fruit, seeds and oats every morning, blend and takeaway as a smoothie if running late

• can eat carbs, but only brown and good carbs (integral bread, oats)

• protein is key to start the morning and stay full for longer. Boiled eggs are a great option as can be eaten outside home.

• 1 cup of coffee is allowed, with vegan milk or black.

2. Lunch: veggies must take the most space of the plate.

• all type of veggies are allowed (except the ones that cause gas and inflammation, such as broccoli, cabbage, raw peppers…)

• protein is key. Avoid meat with too much fat. Go for lean meats. Chicken breast, chicken wings, pork, beef and mostly fish.

• if can get soup, get it and drink it before the meal.

• avoid carbs such as pasta, white rice, wheat in general, noodles, etc.

• Dessert can be fruits, frozen fruit is a good crave killer.

• only drink still water with meals.

• always brush teeth after eating.

3. Snacks: Only if really hungry

• Digestive cookies if having too much craving for unhealthy treats

• nuts in small amounts

• dried fruit in small amounts can be quite satisfying

• yogurt

• protein bars

• fruits (banana, tangerine, apples, grapes)

4. Dinner: the most difficult part of the day.

• Skip dinner at least 6 days a week

• drink lots of water when the hungry peak starts

• if really hungry, can eat a can of tuna

• if eating too much and junk food late at night, skip breakfast.

• if feeling like bingeing, drink a lot of water and brush teeth.

• if really craving junk food, can eat sushi (small tray of nigiris or makis); or McDonald’s (6pcs nuggets, no sauce, small fries, no soda OR plain hamburger - no cheese, no fries, no soda).

5. Drinks and sweets.

• avoid any type of sugary drinks (bubble tea, iced teas, milk teas, instant coffees, juices, mocktails, sodas).

• drink plenty of still water AND coconut water. Vegan milks are fine.

• if really craving something sweet, eat a protein bar. If not enough, keto dessert is ok once in a while.

• if having dessert, always share with others. Eat slowly and put the spoon down every bite. Count to 30, and then take again. Can take only 3 bites of dessert if REALLY necessary.

6. Others.

• if having a family gathering or lunch with friends, focus mostly on the veggies. The total portion of the unhealthy foods has to be the size of the palm of my hand. If larger, can’t be eaten.

• take meals with smaller cutlery if alone.

• stay away from the kitchen.

• eat chewing gum once the hungry peak starts.

• alcohol must be reduced. 2 glasses a week maximum. Drink slowly.

• water fast for 1 whole day once a week. Can be challenging, but it is a good reset for the body.

• snacks should be fruits. If studying and hungry, healthy snacks (like oat and chickpea chips) are allowed.

I am focusing on this new plan and will make it work 💪🏻

beginner diet plan for weight loss for female

General Tips:

Focus on Whole Foods: Prioritize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources. These are filling and nutrient-rich, keeping you feeling satisfied and promoting healthy weight loss.

Hydration is Key: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Water curbs hunger, keeps you feeling full, and supports overall health. Aim for 8 glasses (around 2 liters) per day.

Portion Control: Use smaller plates and bowls to avoid overeating. Be mindful of serving sizes.

Limit Processed Foods, Sugary Drinks, and Unhealthy Fats: These tend to be high in calories and low in nutrients, hindering weight loss efforts.

Sample Daily Meal Plan (1500 Calories):

Breakfast (350-400 Calories):

Option 1: Greek yogurt with berries and a sprinkle of granola

Option 2: Whole-wheat toast with scrambled eggs and spinach

Option 3: Oatmeal with sliced banana and a drizzle of honey

Lunch (400-450 Calories):

Option 1: Tuna or chicken salad sandwich on whole-wheat bread with lettuce and tomato

Option 2: Lentil soup with a side salad and whole-wheat crackers

Option 3: Leftovers from dinner (portion control is important!)

Dinner (500-550 Calories):

Option 1: Baked salmon with roasted vegetables and brown rice

Option 2: Chicken breast stir-fry with mixed vegetables and brown rice

Option 3: Vegetarian chili with a side salad and a dollop of Greek yogurt

Snacks (100-150 Calories each, 2-3 per day):

Option 1: Apple slices with almond butter

Option 2: Carrot sticks with hummus

Option 3: Handful of mixed nuts and dried fruits (unsweetened)

Ce la vie

My grocery list

I’m putting my grocery list in a blog post so that others can get a specific picture of how the things I buy help save me money and simplify my life. You may notice that some things are in odd categories-I’m not a nutritionist. Also, you’ll probably notice that there is very few premade items, mostly sauces. Hope it is somewhat interesting. There is a copy and paste-able list at the bottom. I have also written a blog post with recipes I commonly use these ingredients in.

Meat

I buy meats that have multiple uses. My regulars are: flank steak, chicken thighs, ground beef (80/20), eggs, and fish. I use flank steak because it is lean and a good cut, but still inexpensive. I like chicken thigh because they are less expensive and more moist than breasts, but just as versatile a protein. Ground beef is good for tacos, burgers, and adding to dishes. I like 80/20 because it isn’t too dry to cook on its own and it is cheaper. Eggs are a great source of easy protein and fairly inexpensive. The kind of fish I get depends on the prices. I always look at the prices so I know when there’s a deal. I don’t buy if there are no deals. I like fish, but it can be very pricey. Especially for meat I would recommend going to a Costco business center or Chef Store. I buy in bulk and portion it into reusable bags. 

Veggies and fruits

Staples: Avocado, Banana, Tomato, Romaine, Apple (Fuji or Gala), Potato, Garlic, Onion, Brussel Sprouts, Asparagus, Broccoli (frozen), Peas (frozen), Corn (frozen) 

Variable: Sweet potato, Blueberries, Grapes, Raspberries, Mango, Cauliflower, Zucchini, Spaghetti Squash, Mushrooms, Sweet Peppers, Carrots, Turnips

Seasonal/Occasional: Ginger, Cherries, Grapefruit, Watermelon, Artichoke, Celery, Pineapple

Spices

Spices accumulate over time and do not need to be purchased frequently. I will list them according to how important/versatile I think they are.

Staples: Cumin, Paprika, Thyme, Rosemary, Salt, Pepper, Cinnamon, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder

Good to have: Turmeric, Fennel, Nutmeg, Cloves, Chili Powder, Cayenne, Red Pepper, Parsley, Chives, Oregano, Sage, Montreal Steak Seasoning, Sesame Seeds

Used sparingly: Cardamom, Seasoned Salt

Carbs

I don’t eat wheat-it just disagrees with me. I substitute pastas with mung bean noodles. We eat a lot of tacos with corn tortillas. I occasionally use rice. I keep walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews, peanuts (in-shell), and sunflower seeds on hand for snacking, adding to salads, and grinding up to make breadings. 

Sauces

I have a lot of sauces since they keep well. Those include, but are probably not limited to: ketchup, mustard (deli, yellow, sometimes honey), mayo, soy, oyster, Worchester, A1, peanut, sweet chili, tapatio, crystal, lemon juice, lime juice, teriyaki, BBQ, jelly, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla flavoring, 

Oils and vinegar

Avocado oil for high heat, olive oil for not so hot, coconut oil, lard for seasoning the cast iron, balsamic (which I also make a glaze from), apple cider vinegar. I keep white vinegar under the sink for cleaning and crafts. 

Dairy

Heavy whipping cream is delicious and can be used in anything calling for milk-watered down if necessary, but milk cannot be whipped. Occasionally fancy cheese for cheese and meats date nights. Dried non-fat milk. Sour cream. Greek yogurt-plain or honey flavor. Butter.

Canned/jarred

Soups, tuna, spam (for musubi), beans (black and refried), enchilada sauce, spaghetti sauce, artichoke hearts, pickles, jalapenos, olives (black and green/Kalamata)

Other

Corn starch, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, bouillon, tortilla chips, salsa

I just replace these things as they run out. It is a diverse enough list to make many recipes, but small enough that it isn’t too costly nor strenuous to maintain. As I run out of things, I add it to my list. When the list is long enough, or has items that are of greater importance, I go shopping.

Just Lists

flank steak, chicken thighs, ground beef (80/20), eggs, fish,  Avocado, Banana, Tomato, Romaine, Apple (Fuji or Gala), Potato, Garlic, Onion, Brussel Sprouts, Asparagus, Broccoli (frozen), Peas (frozen), Corn (frozen),  Cumin, Paprika, Thyme, Rosemary, Salt, Pepper, Cinnamon, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, corn tortillas, mung bean noodles, rice, walnuts, pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds, ketchup, mustards, mayo, soy, tapatio, lemon juice, lime juice, teriyaki, BBQ, jelly, peanut butter, avocado oil, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, heavy whipping cream, sour cream, butter, tuna, beans, enchilada sauce, spaghetti sauce, pickles, jalapenos, olives, corn starch, baking soda, bouillon, tortilla chips

Healthy Eating on a Budget: Nutritious and Affordable Meal Ideas

Eating healthy doesn't have to mean emptying your wallet. With a bit of planning and creativity, you can enjoy delicious, nutritious meals that won't strain your budget. Let's dive into some practical tips and tasty meal ideas to make healthy eating affordable and enjoyable.

Planning is Key:

Make a List (and Check It Twice): Before you head to the grocery store, create a detailed shopping list. This helps you avoid impulse buys and stick to your budget. Plan your meals for the week, considering what you already have in your pantry and fridge.

Shop Smart: Look for sales, discounts, and coupons. Consider buying in bulk for staples like rice, beans, and oats. Compare prices between brands and choose generic options whenever possible. Frozen fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh and often more affordable.

Cook at Home: Restaurant meals can quickly add up. Cooking at home gives you control over ingredients and portion sizes, and it's often much cheaper. Make large batches of soups, stews, or casseroles that you can freeze for later.

Building Your Pantry:

Stock your kitchen with affordable and versatile ingredients that form the foundation of healthy meals:

Whole Grains: Brown rice, quinoa, oats, whole-wheat pasta, and bread provide fiber and essential nutrients.

Legumes: Lentils, beans, and chickpeas are excellent sources of protein, fiber, and iron. They're also incredibly budget-friendly.

Canned or Frozen Vegetables: Stock up on frozen broccoli, peas, carrots, and corn for quick and easy additions to meals. Canned tomatoes, pumpkin puree, and beans are also handy pantry staples.

Fruits: Apples, bananas, oranges, and pears are often affordable and packed with vitamins. Frozen berries are perfect for smoothies or topping yogurt.

Healthy Fats: Olive oil, avocado oil, nuts, and seeds provide essential fatty acids and add flavor to dishes.

Protein Sources: Eggs, canned tuna or salmon, chicken breasts, and tofu are budget-friendly options. Look for sales on meat and consider buying cuts that require longer cooking times (like chuck roast) as they tend to be less expensive.

Delicious and Affordable Meal Ideas:

Breakfast:

Oatmeal with fruit and nuts

Scrambled eggs with vegetables

Greek yogurt with berries and granola

Whole-wheat toast with avocado and a sprinkle of salt and pepper

Lunch:

Lentil soup with whole-wheat bread

Veggie burgers on whole-wheat buns

Leftovers from dinner

Salad with grilled chicken or chickpeas

Dinner:

Chicken stir-fry with brown rice and vegetables

Lentil curry with rice and naan

Black bean soup with a side salad

Veggie pasta primavera

Salmon with roasted vegetables

Additional Tips:

Grow Your Own: If you have the space, consider growing your own herbs and vegetables. Even a small herb garden on a windowsill can make a difference.

Leftovers Love: Embrace leftovers! Repurpose them into new dishes for a different flavor experience.

Meal Prep: Dedicate a few hours each week to prepping ingredients or cooking entire meals in advance. This can save time and money during busy weekdays.

Don't Skip Meals: Skipping meals can lead to overeating later in the day. Focus on regular, balanced meals and healthy snacks to maintain energy levels and avoid impulsive choices.

Conclusion:

Eating healthy on a budget is entirely achievable with a bit of planning and creativity. By focusing on whole, unprocessed foods, shopping smart, cooking at home, and embracing leftovers, you can nourish your body without breaking the bank. Remember, small changes add up over time, so start incorporating these tips into your routine today and enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
