Ridiculous question about healthy lazy food?

[Anonymous]

I need to go food shopping. If I don't buy something that is easy or ready made I will most likely either get a take away or not eat at all.

Recently had terrible break up and my brain is scrambled I can't think.
When I am under stress I have a tendency to take control by not eating.

It is not a road I want to go down I want to excercise so also need to eat enough and healthy so I don't get too skinnt.

Any ideas of things I could buy with minimun preparation?

If food was just put in front of me I would eat all day long!

I noticed you wrote 'Maybe I could just roast a chicken" My girlfriend buys one already roasted at Costco for $5- it lasts her a week. Pull it apart when it's cool enough to touch, it's easier then when it's refrigerated.
A LOT of veggies taste pretty good microwaved. I like spinach. Only 90 seconds. She like broccoli & cauliflower. The big bags last 2 weeks. Look at youtube for the veggies you like & how long to microwave them.

Just get something with a lot of protein and little sugar or starch. You'll be fine. (and you will feel better).

Maybe I could just roast a chicken and just get some frozrn roast potatoes and veg. That's got to be easy!! Could cook a couple days worth then and reheat it!

[HereForTheDay]

not the potatoes... that is nearly 100% starch. How about a green vegetable.

[Asker]

Ah but potatoes are so good! I could stretch to having some boiled barley with gravy instead :)

[HereForTheDay]

barley is starch too. No starch or sugars. How about a green vegetable

[Asker]

Don't like many green things besides peas and asparagus! Cabbage is ok and I force myself to eat brocali! Good dose of gravy! I have heard that carbs help you produce seratonin... could do with some of that!

carbs produce fat. But any food that makes you fat will produce serotonin. It is your body's way of making you feel good. Saying... yes... make me fat. That is a survival instinct. Nature wants to fatten you up so you can have energy reserves. Is that what you want? Because potato chips will do this too and for the same reason

[Asker]

Ah ok. Well I don't mind good fat. I am only 9stone (127 pounds) and 5'7''
My problem is cellulite. But otherwise I have no problem putting on wieght or at least preventing it's loss.
I have a fast metabolism so need to eat more calories to keep weight on than others.

People wanting to loose weight would be frustrated with just how easy I loose it!

Thanks for your advice! :)

if you have cellulite then exercise. You need to read this: www.maxworkouts.com/.../8-diet-and-exercise-tips-to-stay-young-healthy dont buy his book, just go through his site and learn about cellulite and exercise and diet
