Weekend Eating!
OK guys, the weekend is here and eating is kinda off. So I have a question for the family men (and women) here. Do you break from your family’s eating at some point? Especially if getting ready for a competition? (Mine is March 09). How does this work in the grand scheme of family politics?
My work day is pretty set b/c it’s just me, however when I’m at home it doesn’t work as well. I pin the blame on myself–it’s just a matter of me needing better structure…I’m sure this will get better (it has been so bit by bit) I just need to make changes in how we do things. Really as I think about this I’m just becoming more and more strict with myself and my nutrition. At some point do your famiies say this is too much?

Fair point. I assume you trying to maintain or get trim, and not bulk. Many families have "multi-menus" to get around that. But, what we do, is involve the entire family into "eating healthy" at "at least" the main family meals - - set the example. Get them all into the swing. Then, just keep an ample supply of ‘bread and sandwich material" around, plus apples, bananas, oranges, etc for those mid afternoon snacks. Good luck, I agree, weekends are tough.

I have a hard time being creative with the food and am trying to sell why lean protein for dinner every night is a good idea…any ways to change that up? Again dinner is the one I have most issues with.
