Day 2: Keep It SimpleDude food lesson No. 2: Convenience is king
If I've learned one thing from my husband, it's to never pay full price for anything. If I've learned two things from my husband, it's that men are ultimately utilitarian creatures. I should be able to feed myself in the fewest amount of minutes and steps possible. That's why my eating plan hinges primarily on convenience and efficiency.
In the morning I wolf down a protein bar. At lunch, I attack my Mexican leftovers (I know, I know, if I were really eating like a guy there would be no leftovers, but I'm still dealing with a limited amount of real estate in my stomach). I snag a bag of Doritos for a snack and decide to order takeout for dinner. So far, so good. I've wasted exactly zero minutes on food prep, unless you count the 30 seconds I spent reheating my lunch
Unfortunately, when the time comes to place my Seamless order, I momentarily lose sight of my mission. Out of habit I order my usual: Pad Thai with tofu. I mourn the loss of an opportunity to have filled my plate with red meat, or even chicken, and I vow to double down on the protein tomorrow.
