I look at it as food is my fuel to get me to where I want to go. I do not live to eat. I eat to live. Some days it's just basic fuel. Some days it's a high art form. Whatever to suit my mood. I know how I feel when I do not fuel myself properly. I don't ever want to feel that way. Make a very basic list of what you like that is necessary to fit your plan. Make a bunch of servings of things at once, individually package them in the fridge and pull out what you need, when you need it. Then go out and LIVE!!!

I like to make cassarole type things with the proper balance of protein, fat, veggies and carbs. I love my crock pot. Throw it all in, it's all done at once. I have 2 meals and a couple of lunches all done at the same time!!
