What are you having for dinner tonight!
Topics similar to this are fairly popular on other websites, so I figure why not start one here? Post up a picture of your home cooked meals, either complete, or in the process of being cooked! Thi...
Carbs aren't bad as long as you're able to maintain it to ~50-60% of diet. I tend to try to be as protein-heavy and low-fat as possible, with the rest being carbs. Seems to work for me, and I maintain around a 21-ish bmi and have been around 8% body fat (prefer to be around 5%, but I'm not running due to injury atm).
Speaking of protein and carbs, Sunday is pork night:
Thin boneless center cut, baked on a center rack with black pepper and cinnamon. Served with a baked potato with canola butter and shredded chedder, and broccoli.
Usually I make it as a German style breaded schnitzel served over egg noodles with red cabbage. Sometimes I add diced apple pieces and little shreds of black forest ham to the red cabbage to perk it up. I tried making spaetzle, but that experiment didn't go so well: Dumplings stiffened up before I could press it into the boiling water. lol, what a mess.
"Carbs aren't bad as long as you're able to maintain it to ~50-60% of diet."
they spike up my blood sugar something awful, so unfortunately, I have to eat very low carb (I eat about 50g of carbs a day).
It actually works for some of us -- not everyone needs to go that low, but for some diabetics, low carb does help a lot. I have tried going lower than 50g and some days I have managed 35 or 40, but it's miserable. Carbs are such lovely things. I only miss bread and potatoes. Haven't had pasta or rice in 2 years and I don't miss either of them.

Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday are usually salad nights:
If it isn't Panera, I usually make a "killer salad" in layered phases:
2 cups of Lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, blueberries, low-sugar craisins.
Halved black olives, sliced/quartered radishes, sliced/quartered cucumber, sliced baby carrots, sliced/sectioned red onion rings, sliced green pepper.
Halved pickeled beets, green or kalmata olives, either cottage cheese or mild pepper rings with deli pepper strips.
Topped with shredded mild cheddar and some crushed basil/tomato feta.
It's a ton of food that's only 286 calories, 42g carbs, 14g fat, 13g protein when measured out correctly. I wolf my food and it takes me about a half hour to finish.Edit: The reason for Mon/Wed/Sat is a holdover from training. I used to have long training runs on Tues, Thus & Sun and didn't like to get bloated. I don't subscribe to "carbing up" the day before (actually think that's dangerous). I do subscribe to the theory of heavy proteins the day of, which keeps your muscles in shape.

Those killer salads look darn good.
