While watching TV the other day, I serendipitously happened to see the Burger King commercial for their veggie and turkey burger. It’s been a while since I wrote a Fit Fast Food blog so the timing was perfect. Now my first thought was “WTF is Burger King doing coming out with a veggie burger and [...]
I’m going to categorize this meal idea under “creatve” because I really had no idea what I was doing. I had meant to make it a hash but, for whatever reason, I thought hash was made with stuffing instead of potatoes like it’s usually made. I think it may have been because I really wanted [...]
Just so that we’re clear, this is not actually ice cream. This is an interesting vegan creation I picked up along the way that I thought would make a great ST Instafit Meal. Even though vegan meals–like salcos and turger burgers–are not necessarily consistent with the overall theme of ST Instafit Meals, I do feel [...]
For this edition of ST Instafit Meals I wanted to accomplish two objectives, 1) I wanted to use only frozen food and 2) I wanted to use ingredients that I have not used in any previous meals. Because I had yet to create a meal using fish (tuna in can doesn’t count..at least not to [...]
A very important yet very misunderstood part of having long-term success with healthy eating and nutrition habits is the “cheat meal”. The most common misunderstanding about cheat meals is that they are often thought of as cheat days, meaning that you can eat whatever you want for the entire day. Without a structured meal plan [...]
Shortly after signing on to Instagram several months ago I posted a photo of my regular breakfast which consists of 2 packet of low-sugar oatmeal, a scoop of protein powder, a piece of fruit, a carrot and one stalk of celery. I didn’t think anything of it then but the response I received from that [...]
There have been many things man has invented for lazy people. Remote controls, cars that parallel park themselves and bendy straws to name a few. I’d like to nominate another invention to the list; Ready-to-Drink (RTD) protein shakes. I personally don’t drink protein shakes that often. Not because I’m not lazy–I have my moments–but because [...]
Being half Japanese I felt obligated to do at least one of my ST Instafit Meals on a Japanese dish so I decided to go with chicken teriyaki. The Japanese word teriyaki is made up of two parts, “teri” which refers to the shine from the sugar in the sauce and “yaki” which refers to [...]
Although spaghetti is Italian in origin, something about it seems so American. Whether it’s in our movies (Disney’s “Lady and the Tramp” instantly comes to mind), on our TV (anyone remember the Spaghetti O’s commercials?) or in just about every diner across the country, spaghetti is pretty much as American as…well, tacos. Anyways, I’ve been [...]
Ideally, in a perfect world, we would never be in a rush to cook and could always take our time to enjoy a nice meal. Unfortunately, that is a luxury many of us do not have. Thank goodness for microwave meals! I know, I know, some of you may be saying that you don’t actually [...]
