r/fitmeals

Serious question because all I usually hear is rice, sweet potato, and protein such as chicken, beef/steak, or protein powder.

One of my friends is a fitness enthusiast and she only eats unseasoned chicken and sweet potato for a majority of her meals.

Please tell me y'all at least use salt.

Hi
Busy professional here with zero to non cooking skills ,, looking for your most convenient easy to make macro friendly ideas for meals snacks etc
Thnaks in advance

I have basically zero marketing skills, so I'm just dropping this here to see if anyone else finds it usefull.

I built SnapTop Chef because I wanted a simpler way to plan my weekly food without dealing with messy spreadsheets or bloated fitness apps.

What it does:

• Smart Recipe Creation: Quickly handles the macro math and scales things easily.
• Tailored Meals: Generates plans specific to your goals/tastes.
• Cooking Clubs: You can invite people (partners, roommates, etc.) and it automatically finds the overlap in everyone's dietary restrictions to create recipes you can all share.

It's free and I'm just looking for honest feedback. Please roast me in the comments—tell me if the UI makes sense or if I just wasted a few months of my life building this.

Thanks!

I bought my first ever protein powder, and its disgustingly sweet. Ive tried mixing with coffee (plain black, the original idea was protein coffee) but its still way too sweet no matter how I dilute it or how much coffee I add. Ive tried it with cereal to trick myself into thinking its candy or good sweet, but it gags me out.

I really dont wanna yhrow it away, I dont have much in expenses to "throw away" that 40 something, and I'm trying to pit on weight to not be so stick thin, but get nauseated when I eat too much (hence the desire to drink my calories/protein to get it down the gullet before nausea registers. I also get texture grossed iut with chewing/tasting)

Anyway, I've just got almost a full jar/jug left :/

Is there any way I can sift the sweetner out?😭 everything's uniform size/color so I dont think so. Any recommendations or advice? Recipes?

Thanks

I’m looking for any tips on a meal plan that can help me reach about 4000 cal a day. Especially shakes as I’m looking to make use of my blender. My days get very busy and I’m trying to minimize time spent cooking and figuring out meals. Thank you!

I go to the gym 6-7 days a week. My mum and I usually cook on sundays and Wednesdays a few days worth of food on those days. The problem is, the food we make i have for lunch at work for 3 days in a row which I dont mind. But then for dinner because i am not eating lunch and dinner the same for 3 days straight, i end up having either tuna or spam in a can every night. Im starting to get sick of that and I know its not sustainable. So i wanted to start making a secondary meal i can have for dinners.

What are some easy meals/recipes that i can make once or twice a week I can make so I can just have enough for dinners throughout the week.

Thank you very much

Edit: forgot to say high protein meals no less than 40g in a meal. Calories dont really matter as long as they’re reasonable. Chicken and beef would be great. Thanks again

Im trying to lose weight (more body fat% than weight to be honest), and it seems that im recommended to eat around 70g of protein per day (F, 19, 158cm, 51kg aiming for 48kg and a skinny body, not muscular). However I'm really struggling to reach that amount, at most i get to like 30g to be honest. I struggle to balance protein with calories, since I absolutely cannot do more than 1200 a day!!
I wanted to ask for meal recommendations that are on the lower edge in calories and high in protein! Also I mostly dont eat lunch when I go to university, so i dont know if that should be taken into account (on these days I eat about 500-600kcal and 20g protein).
Thanks for the help!!

I didn’t know where to ask sorry. I found a protein powder that I like taste wise. It’s whey protein powder with Ghirardelli chocolate. I have a blender and there is a liquify option. I try to use whatever fruit I have at home to mix like banana. I always have half and half or creamer since I drink coffee with cream. Smoothie/shake since not much different term wise. Thanks

I understand that it can be difficult to hit your protein goals if you're on a cut, since you have limited calories to work with. But shouldn't most people be able to bulk without protein powder? For example, let's say that you need 150 grams of protein, and when you're bulking you can only get 120 grams of protein via food, so you supplement with a 30g protein shake. This makes sense. But if you're in a bulk wouldn't your protein goals be met just by eating more food? For example, eating an extra portion of noodles/pasta (which already contain protein) and an extra couple of eggs each day would already give you 30 grams of protein while putting you in a 300-500 calorie surplus. So why do so many people with realistic protein goals (e.g. 150-180 grams) still consume protein powder on a bulk? It's much more satisfying and satiating to just eat more delicious whole foods imo.
