Working out x 3 a week and meal planning to boot comes with it's own set of time management issues. There is just not enough time in the day to do everything. Usually, I cook twice a week for the entire week's worth of food. Needless to say, it means everything has to be done in double time or less.

I love chinese stir fry – everything still tastes incredibly crunchy and fresh.

One of my favourite recipes is coincidentally, the fastest to prepare. Prep time: 5mins (excludes defrosting of meats) and cooking time: 5mins.

What a better way to begin a week than on a clean slate! After last weekend’s debauchery (food-wise), I welcome the regiment that comes with eating clean.

Wow. This marks the second month of recording down my food intake. Gee. Time does fly when you are having (not!) fun. Truth be told, it is quite easy to do, it simply takes effort.

My goal this week is to eat 100% great even on the weekend. Documenting every single thing that I consume has its pros and cons. The obsessive side of me is discouraged that i have yet to break my mini goal and I am so close to goal (a mere kg away) which makes me wonder if my body is meant to be this way or if there’s something that I am not doing well enough.

Save the muscle talk. I truly doubt it’s muscle.

Not working out hard enough, not eating great enough etc. The flipside is that, I know I am not doing bad at all. Even on my cheat days, I don’t consume simple carbs because I don’t have the need to. I am perfectly satiated on protein and complex carbs. I just have to push on and not give up now.

T’was the sweltering heat that caused my afternoon migraine attack. No matter what natural method I tried, the nagging pain persisted. Eventually, I reached for the pill bottle.

By dinner time, the pulsing behind my eyes had stopped and my belly could only stomach comfort food.

It was exactly what the doctor ordered. Healthy, light and yums. Recipe after the cut :) (more…)

The biggest critics of eating clean will tell you that it is not possible to have both great taste, low on simple carb, high on complex carbs and other vitamins in a single meal.

Well, I had just that meal. For lunch today, I had a chicken tandoori with mixed greens salad seasoned with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. Calorie wise, it averages around 400 calories and most of it was good calories (olive oil, yogurt…)

In fact, it was so yummy that I had forgotten to take a picture until I was almost done. So, I assure you that it was definitely more delish than it looked.
