When dieting for any specific purpose, it is easy to get stuck eating the exact same foods day and night. This repetition can cause you to get tired of the diet very quickly and soon you will stray away from the rules. Sometimes you just don't have time to cook the needed food. So here are just a few tips on changing up your diets. I have examples for three different diet types: cutting, high fat & protein, and bulking.
-CUTTING: You don't have to eat chicken and rice at home to stay clean. Here are some quick and easy meals from home or away.
Sandwiches on wheat or rye bread. Use lean meat such as ham, roast beef, turkey or chicken. You can also vary by using sliced or shredded meat. You can also combine the meats you use, such as turkey and ham. Also, you can use mustard to add some flavor because it adds very little calories or carbohydrates. Don't be afraid to throw on a cheese slice, lettuce and/or tomato.
Fast food can be okay also. Most restaurants have grilled chicken sandwiches. Be sure to stay away from breaded chicken because that just adds too many carbohydrates and they are usually fried in oil. Also make sure to order them without the special condiments and sauces such as mayonnaise. Don't buy the fries, just drink water and you will be just fine.
HIGH FAT & PROTEIN: This is easy.
A quick meal at home can be loose meat hamburger cooked with cheese melted over the top.
Any low/no carbohydrate snacks are okay, such as peanuts, cheese, pepperoni, beef sticks, etc. The main point is to stay away from carbohydrates.
If you have to eat out, no problem. You can just buy cheeseburgers without condiments and throw away the hamburger buns.
BULKING: Ahh... The best days of my life... In reality I have found that it's a good idea to stick with a regimen when bulking. However, the fact of the matter is that breaking a bulking diet is no big deal. So, if you want to eat pizza or buy out McDonald's once in a while it's okay. I recommend you still stick with the food counts (calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat) that you have set for yourself. Just keep that in mind when ordering.
