Fun Stuff > CHATTER
A Cooking Thread?
Barmymoo:
Good call! Macdonalds is the food of the devil (vegetarians are contractually obliged to say that whenever the opportunity presents itself) but even if that were not the case, making your own food is so much cheaper.
Mister D Nomms:
Actually, it was a chicken salad sandwich on a bulkie roll. I used one leftover chicken thigh and some mayonnaise to make it. The cost of chicken per pound and the few dollars I spent on those rolls probably makes that sandwich more than a dollar, which is what I'd pay for a McDouble.
Barmymoo:
But you already had the chicken, and if you hadn't used it you might well have ended up throwing it out. Making all your own meals means far less food waste.

So...the "menu" I got from my doc to fix my cholesterol woes is not so much a menu as "don't eat anything you are currently eating with the exception of salad and chicken".
Do you guys have any favorite low-fat/low-cholesterol meals? I know a lot of it is common sense (no bacon, no sour cream, lots of fruits and veggies, fat-free everything) but I'm noticing that some things that I would think to be ok, are actually not. And I'm not used to consciously tailoring my meals to certain specifications- usually I just try to go for "well rounded".
Redball:
Here are some of my low-cal favorites:
Tilapia filets, bought individually sealed, dipped in shake'n'bake (for pork) and sauteed. I put it on a griddle.
The same would probably work for chicken.
I have a daily strawberry smoothie at lunch: about 8 oz of frozen strawberries (get mine by the 4lb at Kroger, not exactly cheap), microwaved for 30 secs, blended with 8 oz skim milk and 2 packets of sweetener.
Any of the lean Michaelina brand frozen entrees. I eat them over about 8 oz of defrosted mixed veg, such as Kroger-brand Italian, Asian or California-style. I can't say if they're all that healthy -- I don't check about preservatives, and some of them are a little sweet, but the calorie count of the entrees are all under 300, the vegetables lower the calorie density, and they mostly taste pretty good.
