I had dinner twice today, because I walked by a middle eastern place.

What is wrong with me? So far I've had raw kibbeh with fresh pita bread, countless falafels, steak-frites with béarnaise sauce, salad and dark chocolate mousse. I don't mind being fat, food is awesome. At least I had a walk between meals.

I am a food nerd and enjoy so many kinds of food it's ridiculous. In order to not end up 300 pounds I remind myself that there is eating for sustenance, and then there's eating for an experience. I try to stick to eating for sustenance, in tasty ways, as much as possible. Then every once in a while I go for something that's just a full-on experience, nutrition be damned.

The struggle is constant.

The struggle is very constant, I'm a food nerd as well and it is starting to show. I need to start doing some sort of exercise again but god dammit food is the one of the few happy things about my day and I ain't giving up on it.

"Koubideh" implies ground beef.

That being said, it's literally an orgasm you can eat.

I got things mixed up, sorry. I was thinking of fish Michui which I just discovered is the Brazilian name for Kebab.

There's plenty of ways to eat tasty things that fit within a diet. I've been trying real hard lately.

Since I'm a food nerd and genuinely enjoy cooking, I figured I'd focus my food energy towards eating right. What works best for me is having a bunch of healthy stuff that also tastes good all ready to go, so the easiest option is also a healthy one. I do a lot of cooking ahead on the weekends to have food during the week.

Most of my dinners are giant mixing bowls of salad plus a piece or two of boneless skinless chicken. I do both breasts and thighs for variety, and only free range organic. I chop up my produce and cook the chicken ahead of time so on weeknights I can just assemble my salad. I make my own dressings to go with.

I'll typically make some kind of side like a quinoa & veggie salad, or a non-creamy soup (I hate creamy soups anyway).

For lunches at work I keep a bunch of nice sandwich ingredients in the fridge there, and I'll bring some of my soup or side to go with. I keep fresh fruit, veggies, cheese, and granola bars for breakfast and snacks.

All of this stuff is both tasty and healthy enough that I don't have to worry about portion control too much. I eat a lot. This plus hitting the gym at least 3 days a week produces good results.

Since I've got the majority of my meals all ready to go, I don't feel compelled to go out to eat nearly as much. When I do, I try to balance between something good, and whether it'll be healthy. But an occasional splurge on something really unhealthy once or twice a week isn't the end of the world when the rest of everything is dialed in so well.

I love cooking, especially for large groups of people (dinner parties are awesome), but I never have the time to cook for myself. The maid cooks lunch two times a week and the other days I have lunch somewhere near my office building (so many good/cheap french bistros).

I like your ideas, cooking healthily for myself is not a bad thing, I'll try it!
