Yes. I love me some COMPLEX CARBS and SUGAR.

Lately I´ve just put some lean beef or sliced chicken breast in a pot and added some frozen vegetables. It´s pretty easy and probably decent..

I try to go light on the pasta (like 2:1 meatsauce vs pasta). Is there a healthier option?

Re: healthy foods i can make in big batches
 

On the subject of pasta... Someone derided me when they were like "ZOMG whole wheat bread is like the healthiest thing ever"

I didn't really know what to say other than, "Not really?" Then again I'm pretty sure he's a big fan of complex cards. So goes life.

The proper approach in this situation is to one-up his dietary knowledge and point out that Cheerios lower cholesterol.

Re: healthy foods i can make in big batches
 

don't know if this is what you mean, but I usually make like eight bowls of oatmeal (mccan's steel cut irish oatmeal) on sunday night to eat the rest of the week. Lately I've been topping them with yogurt instead of milk/brown sugar/whatever else, it's tasty.

Re: healthy foods i can make in big batches
 

Here is my diet so far and I am going to be seeing a strength and conditioning coach who also gives nutritional consultation.

Things that I like to make in large batches for myself that I find are healthy and some borrowed from friends.

Mega Cereal Mix:
Base is special K, I add in dried Banana chips, oats, and a nut mix that I get from a market. It tastes good, has a bit of everything in it and never get bored of it. You can add other items for different taste and to add other nutritional items to it.

Vegetable Mix:
Cut carrots, celery, brocoli, whole cherry tomatoes, whole green beans, mix in a can of chick peas. Other variations of this are green peppers cut, red kidney beans but typically you want foods that will not degrade over 4 or 5 days. Easy to prepare and I eat vegetables a few times a day, [censored] salad. Use a light balsamic vinagrette for it.

Chicken Breast:
You can mix this any way you want, make a lot, season it and throw it in the fridge

baby potatoes unskinned, boil them, throw them in the fridge, they last for a good 5 days at least

Rice: don't use the minute rice, well that's just my preference really, you can make lots and store in fridge for 5 or 6 days

Aside from that, a loaf of bread goes a long way with flavoured tuna (spicy thai chili) and I also like to make egg sandwiches using omega 3 egg whites (whatever it's called that comes in a small cardboard container ready to make), I have a container that is the same size as a slice of break, I throw that with a bit of milk in it and microwave it. Throw on some light mayonaise and I now have an egg sandwich in less than 2 minutes.

All of this is cheap, easy to make, leaves less of a mess in terms of dishes and I find is healthy enough for my needs and I don't get bored of it.
