How do normal people cook/eat dinner?

I don't know about normal people, but I have to do stuff in bulk ahead of time, or I just eat popcorn. I have several days' worth of salad in my fridge right now! And yet, am going out for dinner.

I have to do stuff in bulk ahead of time, or I just eat popcorn

I am staring low glycemic load failure in the face if I don't make some new habits quick stick. I found some menu plans that are helpful, but there's a lot of stress on weight loss--I don't need instructions like hot water and lemon.

Also, do I have to lower the fat content in my yoghurt? Surely just switching from vanilla to plain is the key change? Also--agave--low glycemic enough? Does the fructose thing make it too problematic? I don't need a lot of sweet, but I do want some.

I really need to work out the difference between low and lower. How much whole is good enough? Can I get low load granola? Gnargh. And no, I don't want to start seeing a nutritionist. That would make, what, five specialists? Too much.

No suggestions for a metaphor that's less linear?

Why do you have to be low glycemic?

And what's your metaphor question again? You're looking for a continuum that's not a line? I dunno.

Timelies all!

I am so tired of thunderstorms and grey skies. True, it's been a little cooler than usual for this time of year(not very much, though), but I'm feeling kind of down, and the lack of sun may be a factor.

I would think the opposite.

I usually cook up a vat of something on the weekends, soup or curry or stir fry, something that's easy to reheat. I eat a snack before I leave work, usually almonds or sunflower seeds, just to keep myself from cutting someone. By the time I get home after running errands and exercising, it depends on how I'm feeling. If I'm starving, I eat leftovers. If I'm not, I'll make a salad or roast some vegetables or braise some greens. I keep certain ingredients handy like eggs and cooked lentils and cheese and marinara so that I can quickly build a salad or an omelette or a small pizza.

I am not hungry when I leave work, but I try to eat my big meal at lunch and I drink tea or water all afternoon. I keep a handful of frozen dinners and I almost never cook a single meal at a time. Multiple meals cooked on the weekend or on a night I am feeling productive.

Last year, I tried to prep once a month and then cook at home most days. Now we make a big load of meat, usually grilled chicken, once a week and we eat that in various guises all week. Usually salads.

I've been also trying to eat eggs more, especially shirred or poached, particularly with avocado.

Trader Joes

I'm experimenting with poached eggs on salads! Mine... don't look good yet, but they taste fine.
