i still don't understand what 'normal people' eat. either it's total fast food slop or it's like white people salad yoga bullshit

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 year ago (1 children)

please don't eat yoga, it is not intended for oral consumption.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm a chicken + rice fan myself.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beans and rice all the way. You can stir fry it, add in an egg, add in all sorts of veggies (fresh or frozen), add in any kind of meat, turn it into chili, season it a dozen dozen ways, put it in a tortilla.

It's such a cheap and versatile basis for a diet, and if you pressure cook beans a couple times a week and get a rice cooker, you can really streamline the effort for cooking

And if it gets old you can use like garbanzo beans or lentils instead

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I do usually bounce between black beans and chick peas. Every once in a while I switch it up with navy or kidney beans, but black and garbanzo are probably half my diet by weight and volume

Lentils are great though, even more nutritious... Unfortunately I really don't like them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's fair. I like them fried with garlic and salt

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fried chickpeas and rice slap yo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hell yeah.

Add in some onions, maybe sliced zucchini and eggs, some cayenne pepper and garlic? Amazing. Just ate a wrap of that without the rice and with some lacinato kale and Sriracha... Like 5 minutes of effort, better than most restaurant food, and I threw myself against a boss in elden ring several times while it was cooking

Plus, if you have an air fryer you can roast the chick peas with heavy spices and a little oil, and you get a delicious and filling snack

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We usually make lemon and herb sauce and spinach/kale with it, but that sounds so good! Never dawned on me to do a more "red" spiced version with egg.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's pretty great - you can add paprika and cumin for a Mexican twist as well

I've never gone far with citrus and herbs - herbs for sure, but I'll have to start experimenting with citrus too. I know it's underrated, but I've never thought of adding it to beans... I can see how it could work though, lime goes great on fajitas or onions, I bet I can get a few new twists out of this

white people salad yoga bullshit

lmao

More that people only talk about their diets (or at least, you only take note of their comments about it) when it's noteworthy, either for being super healthy or super unhealthy

And ofc people are trash at self reporting their actual diets

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Well, today my diet was mostly Halloween candy, but I like to think that doesn't represent me as a person.

If you wanted a straight answer, common meals cooked in my home are:
meat (steak, lamb, chicken, fish) & garden salad
meat & roast veggies
asian stiry frys (meat+veg+rice/noodles)
thai & indian curries + rice
lasagna
spaghetti bolognese
burgers (hamburger/steak sandwich) & salad
tacos
(I am Australian for context)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That is more or less the same stuff that is common in my home in Sweden.

The US is a country of extremism all put in place by corporations.

Anything but fastfood. Usually made at home.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Balanced diet. Healthy and tasty.

"How many hotdogs would you say you eat a day?"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that high?

's a little high.

Is that bad?

Well... it's not good.

RIP Trevor.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this confirms it.

I've found my people.

“Isn’t all good bad for you? I’ve been eating muffins and lasagna for 45 years and I feel terrible.”

I was so ready for The Whale but they go ahead and cast a well known actor.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not necessarily something you say out loud or brag about....
