dont you get food fatigue?

One way is to adjust the seasonings. This was really important when I was losing the weight because it let me eat the healthy stuff without getting tired of it.

Today, I'll adjust what greens I have for dinner and change up the dressing.

I usually change my eating habits with the seasons. Right now win Winter,
my steel cut oats in the morning and soup in the afternoon are very satisfying. But when it gets warmer, I'll move to fridge oatmeal and sandwiches (actually usually wraps).

But I always change up the seasonings so that each meal tastes a little different.

Yeah, I think that is one of the reason why convenience foods are so widely used. It is faster to throw something into the
microwave than to boil an egg.

Then people gets wild variations of sugar level so they have an hyper-caloric breakfast but still end up getting hungry
mid-morning. I have heard the nutritionist we have here is recommending chromium for stabilizing sugar levels btw.

I hear you. What my wife and I do is pre-make healthier choices for the
week when we have more time on the weekends.

For example: The steel cut oats that I have for breakfast. I make several servings, put them in microwavable containers and put them in the fridge.
When I want one, 3 minutes in the microwave and I have a hot, healthy breakfast.

We still do a good number of "quick meals", but we try to get the ones
that are on the healthy side. ex: 200 calorie soup instead of 400 calorie soup. Or Lean Cuisine style instead of "hungry man" frozen dinners.

And a salad goes together quick if you pre-cut all the veggies for it.

IHMO: Any "nutritionist" who prescribes chromium (unless there is another health condition other than "bad eating") to lower blood sugar is a quack.

Simply eating healthier meals and not grazing all day will lower blood
sugar.

Maybe I should do that more often. I'm not sure how often I'd want to spend a weekend day cooking food though.. I also live by myself, so it's just me. But sometimes I like to make a batch of spaghetti sauce and put it in mason jars so I have some home-cooked spaghetti sauce when I want some. Also, there are some things I'll make for dinner for myself that are enough for several meals for me - Sometimes I'll make meatloaf, and with just one pound of meat and a side to go with it, I could get maybe 4 meals out of that for me. I'll usually take leftovers to work for lunch. And for something like stir-fry and rice, I usually make enough to have several leftover meals that I could use for lunch or dinner.

For example: The steel cut oats that I have for breakfast. I make several servings, put them in microwavable containers and put them in the fridge. When I want one, 3 minutes in the microwave and I have a hot, healthy breakfast.

Isn't 3 minutes about the time it takes to mircrowave steel cut oats in the first place? I've bought those sometimes, and I seem to remember about 3 minutes being the microwave time from the box.

I've done that too.

I don't have the hard stats here, but I'd say about 70% of the patients that get to see the nutritionist suffer from some severe condition. Like tiroids gone wild, diabetes or worse.

That said I think the total amount of chromium prescriptions we have issued this year is 3 :-) So I am farly confident the nutrition lady is not giving chromium away to everybody just for the sake of giving chromium away.

I should try that. I love "proper" oatmeal, but only have time on the
weekends to make it.

Point taken, but I think we were talking about stabilizing blood sugar
levels, not lowering overall levels.

Buy a crock pot, and you can make healthy stews and roasts without taking up
a lot of time on the weekends - and have leftovers for a couple of days.

I've been making vegetable stews during the week in a stock pot. It takes about a half-hour on-and-off and ends up making a couple of meals.

My wife made a veggie chili last weekend, it took maybe 10 minutes of prep
and 6 hours in the pot. Combined with corn bread muffins from mix, it was a great, comparitively light meal.

That's true. I had a crock pot, and it was handy for that.

We don't "spend the weekend cooking", though. But we do similar things.

Last week, we made a double batch of Porcupine Meatballs. We had a couple for dinner then
had a bunch for meals for the rest of the week.

We've pressure cooked a chicken - for chicken and stock for soup. With an Instant Pot, it's "set it and forget it".
So we start it, go do other things then come back later and process it into containers. That works for several meals:
Chicken soup - just need to cook the noodles before putting into containers - and extra chicken we can have for other
things during the week.

We will also chop up veggies for the week, so that when we want some, it's just open the container and sprinkle
some on whatever we want.

Isn't 3 minutes about the time it takes to mircrowave steel cut oats in the first place? I've bought those sometimes, and I seem to remember about 3 minutes being the microwave time from the box.

Those are the par-cooked quick steel cut oats. Not nearly as healthy (and tasty) as the uncooked ones.

The great thing is that you can find them for cheap at thrift shops.

My project this week is learning to get better at using my rice cooker. I bought uncooked brown rice instead of those microwave packets.

I had a rice cooker but didn't use it. Typically I cook rice in a pot on the stove. Seems to me like a rice cooker is pretty much the same, except they just have a timer to automatically stop cooking after a certain time.
