I have to admit that I am in a huge rut, due to time, money, conveience, etc. I have been eating same thing everyday for lunch for maybe a year or so (YIKES!) ... aidells meatballs and edamane Beans. I am bored with it, yet it is very easy. I also wonder if you eat it everyday .. it could become a slider food? I notice that I am not really satiffied....

I need suggestions for lunch and dinner....

Today I am trying something different for lunch,, brought bbq pork with some dipping bbq sauce.

Thanks! :frown:

Edited to add: I emailed my NUT yesterday and she suggested making bean salad, and adding tuna or chicken to it.

Any good bean salad receipes?

I don't know, but it sure seems that way. I know that when I get in a rut and eat the same things all the time, I start feeling like I'm "hunting" for food--even though I'm not hungry, I still want to eat. I've decided that's my body's way of saying it's not getting enough nutrients. When you eat the same things over and over, you limit the variety that is the hallmark of healthy eating--because by having a lot of variety you get a whole "soup" of micronutrients that the body needs--that's the way I understand it from my nutritionist anyway. I struggle with getting in a rut--for all the reasons you mentioned--but I'm really trying to have more variety, because I think a healthy body is better able to do the work of losing weight. Sorry, I stink at recipes. Try allrecipes.com or another online recipe source maybe. Good luck.

you can find a bunch of good recipes on recipezaar.com. Good luck!

I'd just rinse out a can of four bean mix, and dump in a can of flavoured tuna, some chopped tomato and maybe a heap of coriander (you guys call it cilantro I think). You wouldnt need any dressing because of the tuna.

Sounds yummy and very healthy, I am going to try this.
