This might still be on the complex side, but I've been doing this diet on and off for about 2 months. I created a webapp to do the simple math of counting calories and other macros, but a simple spreadsheet would also work.
Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: Turkey and avocado sandwich (1 Avocado, 4 slices bread, lettuce, cucumber, 4 slices of sliced smoked turkey).
Afternoon snack: 1 banana and 43g pure almond butter.
Dinner: Varying meals made in batches to make up ~2000 calories per day. This week (qty per day) was turkey chili: 1 can red kidney beans, 8oz ground turkey, spices, and a few corn tortillas.
I started out with much more complex recipes, but simplified the diet to minimize preparation time. Also the lettuce, cucumber and bananas I get from work.
- rtpg 11y agois this like every day? Isn't that really depressing to eat the same thing all the time? I guess if you had like 4 or 5 things to rotate it's a lot easier to deal with, but every day a turkey+avocado sandwich...
- google15 11y agoI will probably get bored of it, but the sandwich is also a sweet spot in terms of preparation time vs healthiness. It also depends how much you like avocado. One avocado over two sandwiches is a lot, and I select avocados carefully for optimal ripeness.
- taeric 11y agoSeeing "breakfast: coffee" had me almost laugh out a swig of beer to the monitor. Reading the rest and the responses, I realize this isn't a joke, necessarily. Still bloody hilarious, for some reason.
- keithpeter 11y agoWorks though. I eat an evening meal around 6 or 7pm then have coffee for 'breakfast' then have an actual breakfast meal at lunchtime. Lost a few kg and feeling much better.
