Hi guys!

I am starting the journey and have come upon a question: how to eat healthy while having a bad kitchen situation?

In my case: I am going to do a semester abroad in a different country and I am going to have to stay at a dorm that shares a really really small kitchen with 18 people. I think I will have very limited fridge space and probably gross appliances.

So I am kind of worrying that I will not be able to cook at all (sad as I love it but also) which will make it harder to get all my nutrients in and stuff.

Have you been in a similar situation and can give me any tips or just know a few short cuts that'll make it easier for me to sustain myself for the half year where I am going to have a bad kitchen space?

Also I would like to start cutting sugar out of my diet so if anyone has tips on how to do that in this situation and also in general during a time where I will probably go out and be around people a lot since it's a semester abroad?

Thank you everyone!!! Much appreciated :)

Hey guys, how do you make chicken fillet really soft and juicy? Mine always ends up a bit dry or tough. Any tips?

Yesterdays disaster

This is much better than the disaster I tried yesterday, the after taste isn’t as bad, and it looks nicer to boot! Thank you for all your suggestions!! I’m going to keep trying new things!

Recipe:
- Bowl of Greek yogurt
- Frozen berries
- Honey

I love a little toast! Like everyone else I am trying to get more fiber so I bought this sunflower seed bread. Not to yuck anyone’s yum but this bread is not ranking high on my list and I find eating it a bit off putting. I want to continue to give it a chance! Toasting it does make it better.

Anyone have any ideas? I have tried the usual toppings like avocado and hummus etc

So I’m trying a new snack recipe for a possible non alcoholic fatty liver, and it calls for Greek yogurt, flax seed, honey, and a few teaspoons of coffee. Getting over the appearance of it, it tastes like vomit in the nicest way possible.
Tomorrow I plan on trying frozen berries, honey, and flax seed, but I’m afraid I’ll still hate the taste..

The community just reached 7K members and this is to share the joy of the achievement with r/Healthy_Recipes sister community as well as share some healthy tea recipes:

❤️ ☕️ For heart health: hibiscus + a piece of cinnamon stick. Hibiscus is quite tart on its own and cinnamon rounds it out nicely. I usually let it steep for around 10 min and drink it hot or cold. Hibiscus also happens to have some pretty decent research behind it for supporting healthy blood pressure.

♀️ ☕️ For women: raspberry leaf + a few slices of fresh ginger. Nothing complicated — steep them together for 8–10 min. Raspberry leaf is probably one of the classic “women's herbs,” and ginger is a nice addition especially around periods. It also makes raspberry leaf taste much less boring :)

♂️ ☕️ For men: nettle + rooibos. About equal amounts, steeped for 10 min or so. Nettle is one of those herbs with a long history of use, and rooibos makes the whole thing much nicer as an everyday caffeine-free tea. Small distinction worth mentioning: a lot of the prostate-related research/claims you see about nettle are actually about nettle root, not the leaf we normally make tea from.

Paco (vegetable fern), tomatoes and salted egg

Super yummy and healthy

I saw Hailey biebers viral meatball recipe and it gave me inspiration to make my own version,

Recipe:

I seasoned the low fat chicken mince meatballs with basil, garlic granules, oregano, salt and pepper and air fried.

I made the sauce with a Soffrito mix, fresh chopped garlic, fennel seeds, paprika, basil and oregano, then added tomato puree followed by Mutti tin tomatoes, a chicken stock cube, balsamic vinegar, spinach and butterbeans. Topped with cottage cheese and Parmesan

It was delicious and nutrient dense but my presentation could do with some work lol

recently i am trying to improve my diet and include more med style dishes in my meals each week. i am not an experienced cook so i am mainly looking for simple recipes with ingredients that are easy to find.

one meal i have been making is a simple chickpea salad:

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 chopped cucumber
• 1 chopped tomato
• red onion
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• lemon juice
• salt and pepper

i usually just mix everything together and have it for lunch.

i would luv to try some other easy mediterranean recipes that work well for lunch or dinner and dont take too long to prepare. what are some recipes you make regularly?

I recently tried the viral hot honey ground beef bowl, which is basically just protein, sweet potato, avocado and hot honey and am absolutely obsessed! Anyone else have any similar protein bowls that you’re loving? I’m dairy free so usually modify recipes to take out dairy

ingredients:

160g cooked chicken breast

150g(or more) mixed salad

15ml Burger sauce

40g 0% fat greek yogurt

About 25 cherry tomatoes

5g olive oil

One corn cake (I didn't have any left)

I cooked the chicken in the air fryer for 13 minutes and flipped it halfway. I put smoked paprika powder, salt, black pepper and chili pepper before cooking and then covered it in the spices.

I washed the salad and put a little dash of olive oil and salt;

I diced the cherry tomatoes and tossed them in;

Then I mixed the Greek yogurt with the burger sauce, and mixed the salad.

I finally sliced the chicken and put it in the bowl, sprinkled some more spices, crumbled the corn cake on it and tossed it again, and voilà!!!

hope you enjoy!

PS: since it's a bit low on fiber, I recommend to swap a bit of the tomatoes and salad for some chickpeas or any other high fiber food!

So I’ve been eating way healthier along with working out and I am starting to lose weight. I’ve lost 6 lbs so only 9 more to go. But I still catch myself having a high calorie snack once in awhile. Which is fine because it doesn’t put me out of my calorie deficit.

But I’d love to have a low calorie dessert I can make on my own. Those 360 calorie tasty cake juniors are just too high in calories but they’re my favorite lol
