I’ve had kale. I like it.Def don’t do kale. That’s all he’ll taste
It’s just a pain in the ass because you have to cut the leaves off.
And it’s just extra work when a bag of spinach can get tossed in a smoothie or omelette just fine.
What are your culinary tips to maintaining a fit and healthy body?
Track your calories for a few months to learn what things are. I can eyeball 56g of uncooked pasta or 40g of uncooked rice. When you have an idea of what that will be in terms of cals (roughly 200g for semolina wheat pasta and 140-210 depending on the type of rice), you can ease off strictly counting and scale according to performance needs.
Are you a meal prepper?
I am now. Bought these:
www.target.com
I bought two sets and bring two meals to work. My weaknesses, eating shyt food, really only present themselves at work. At home im naturally eating the good stuff. Getting two containers of home-cooked meals every day ensures two big servings of veggies, two types of protein, and a complex carb or two.
Do you use subscription meal services?
Nope. No need. The things I want to eat I enjoy cooking, and most only require a couple of ingredients to prep.
What foods do you avoid?
Pastries. It's nothing for me to buy a box of Clydes and eat them all. Or Apple Fritters. If you eat 4-5 donuts in one day but stay disciplined the rest of the week, you might still have erased your deficit for the week.
What foods are must haves?
Rice cakes, pistachios, and unsweetened flavored sparkling water. All flavorful things that are affordable, filling, and low or no cal. They help to fight cravings.
How do you snack responsibly?
Eat filling snacks. Rice cakes and pistachios. Pistachios give good fats and a good deal of fiber and protein, and I get the shell-on version because not only do I enjoy cracking them open, but the shelled version are easier to eat which means frequent overeating is inevitable.

I take two to work each day, n each pack has 8 so weekly I buy two.
These + clementine + banana.
A few weeks ago I was doing handfuls of jerky too(good stuff not the slimjim trash) but I started breaking out from the sodium n stopped.
Shiiit you a better man than me.

At any given time, one of these two are in my desk. I had a bad reeses cup habit that was costing me 420-630 calories a day and had to double down on Rice cakes. Add these and a fruit cup or an early meal (First meal at 10am, 2nd at 1pm) and I can resist damn near anything.
So do you just eat them plain?

I usually get the generic version of the flat ones that @At30wecashout posted.
But those you can spread something on them.
The round ones you got…I don’t know if they break apart too easy.

I put them in a small ziploc n crack them into 4-5 pieces each.
And they're lightly sweet, no need for anything added imo

Def don’t do kale. That’s all he’ll taste
Have you not done this or something? Someone got me onto kale a few years ago and I'm shocked at how little I taste it. I throw in bananas, berries, and any other available fruit around, then toss in whole handfuls of kale and it doesn't overpower anything. At most, it helps cut the sweetness down just a little. I fukking love kale in my smoothies now.
Even the God ate white rice
People with insane metabolic activity can eat a lot of shyt and burn it off. Since he died at 32, you can't exactly claim anything about long-term health consequences.
White rice has far less nutritional value than whole grains, and is a simple starch which is connected to greater likelihood of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer in the long term. Plus I don't know if it's just me, but eating white rice bloats my digestive system. On top of that, rice production is a major contributor to climate change.
Asians didn't even eat white rice until the 19th century when westerners introduced it. Once they started removing all the nutrition from the rice, it led to beriberi epidemics.
I've been fukking around with smoothies my whole life, the cheat code came when we started just freezing the bananas first. That way you don't have to add ice cubes and it blends way faster. Here's my basic recipe:
* Buy a ton of bananas and then peel and freeze them once they get overripe and really sweet. You can choose the exact moment to throw them in the freezer based on your preferences. Don't forget to peel them before freezing, saves space/energy and it's tough to peel a frozen banana.
* Add some sort of berries - I prefer strawberries or blueberries, but you can do whatever you like. These can be frozen too if you want.
* Any other fruit you like. Mangos are big in our family.
* Kale or spinach, can experiment with other greens but try to focus on things with strong green color (tend to have more nutrients), not iceberg lettuce
* Milk or yogurt, but not to excess. We've recently switched largely to vegan milks like oatmilk.
* Optionally, toss in flaxseed, chia seeds, wheat germ, or any other sort of extra nutrition
Everything can be done to preference and taste, there's no need to be strict about it. The main point is to get fruit in your system and some extra leafy greens.

It’s easy… A lot of water, lean proteins, leafy green veggies, and complex carbs. We know what it takes but not many want to do it.
