Cooking and freezing for the week
What I’ve been doing to save alot of time cooking is doing everything in batches. On Sunday I cook up a whole bunch of boneless chicken breasts. I chop them up cube size and stir fry them in pam with adobe seasoning, garlic powder and a little chipotle seasoning. I weigh 3 oz portions in baggies and freeze them. Sometimes I stir in some black beans with salsa and a little low fat cottage cheese or I just eat it plain with some beans. When I open a can of black beans I measure out 1/4 cup and freeze them in snack bags. Since I’m cooking for a family and I don’t eat what they eat I substitute meat. We eat the same things on certain days of the week and two days of the week we switch it up. So on Monday (fried chicken day) I bar-b-q chicken breasts and eat that and freeze the rest. Hamburger Wednesday, I make turkey burgers for myself and freeze two. I use one for the next days dinner (spaghetti Thursday) and crumble it in some stewed tomatoes for my portion.
I know chicken and turkey sounds pretty boring but there’s so many different ways you can eat it. You just learn to be creative. And you really don’t need to eat any carbs besides oatmeal and beans because all that protein fills you up. Freezing stuff ahead is so convenient because you just grab a baggy and you’re good to go. And it really does taste the same to me. Some people say it doesn’t but I disagree.
I’m off to the gym now to do back. I’m getting alot stronger every week. I actually have a cold right now. I’ve had it for two days and thought it was allergies. But now I have a bit of a cough. It’s taking me down though. I’ve never had a cold that was this, I guess you would say non existent. I guess with all the supplements and proper diet my body is able to keep my head above water because it has not effected my workouts whatsoever.
