Did I make you proud fit? First meal ever cooked. Fattie trying to lose weight on a 1600 Cal diet. Any cooking tips?

Oh my bad, I'll get some plates next paycheck.

Don't listen to this idiot. The rice is fine. Besides, you need carbs anyway.
OP thats fine looking CBR, you even seasoned the chicken which is great. Make sure you eat a varied diet to make sure you don't get deficiencies in some of your micro nutrients. Also if you want some cheap, easy to cook, and low cal bulk, boil up some frozen green beans or even peas (in the pod or not).

paprika, garlic powder, onion powder. Hit both sides with enough to cover it, this "just a pinch" shit is garbage for ANY recipe

>It's brown rice
Fuck me, you can't tell from the picture. Either way, dump the rice. When losing weight, carbs should be considered least important on your plate.

As for the pan sear, you're pulling rookie mistakes. That browning is way too dark for something that hasn't been marinated, which means you left it to cook for too long, probably to make it safe to eat since it's a thicker chicken breast. I recommend either butterflying the breast to cut down on cook time and preserve some of the joociness of the meat or just switch to chicken thigh which is both more flavorful and more forgiving for newbie cooks.

In fact, I would prefer you to learn to debone chicken thighs since bone-in, skin-on thighs are cheaper than breasts 90% of the time

That's Auntie Fee's recipe u stealing, nigga!

>debone chicken thighs

Why not just cook it with the bone in there?

Op here, thanks for the tips. I bought this chicken breast and there's a lot more than I thought. Do I need to cook it all at once then store it for later meals? What's better to reheat, microwave or oven?

Stop fucking making excuses. If you're trying to lose weight, stop filling your meals with empty calories and saying "oh but it's only X calories."

always oven, microwave is pure convenience and will never be a superior cooking method

>powder
Fuck that, fresh garlic and red onion are cheap

Invest in a decent herb and spice collection.
Find a quality cast iron pan.

You can, but I don't recommend it to newbies for a couple reasons. First is that they don't know proper doneness for the meat yet and the extended cooking times can throw off someone just learning. Yes, there are meat thermometers, but even those need to be used correctly. Secondly, it's a skill building thing. The more skills you builld in a kitchen, the better. Third, it allows for more flexibility in dishes. While bone-in chicken can be very flavorful, you can't do everything with it (e.g. you can't use it in a stir-fry on its own). Learning to debone it rather than carving off the bone will allow you to use more meat in recipes that call for it.

>Do I need to cook it all at once then store it for later meals?
You certainly can and it's what a lot of anons who are pressed for time do. You can also use it at a later date for a different kind of dish. Raw chicken breast will last roughly 3-4 days if stored properly, or you can freeze it and make it last even longer

Lol, nigga that ain't brown rice.
Buy wild/medley if you can afford it.

Make a whole crockpot full on Sundays.

>2 breasts to a small freezer bag, write the date.
I give raw chicken up to a week in the fridge if properly stored.
Same time frame after its been cooked.

What do you recommend instead of the rice? I feel like I need a meat, vegggie and something else.

Ok thanks
Herb recommendations?
Ok but I'll probably just cook em all at once. Freezer or fridge doesn't matter for oven/pan cooking?

You don't need anything else retard just add more veg or meat

Ffs reheat in microwave. Don't reheat in oven you'll end up with cardboard. I've lived off microwaved breast that I cooked in the oven and then froze. Just make sure it's defrosted before microwaving. And don't get rid of the rice

Rice isnt "basically a filler" it's one of the best sources of carbs after sweet potatoes. Fucking idiots with their mom science

DONT GET RID OF THE RICE

>muh seaznins

This fatfuck doesn't need fast digesting carbs, and rice is garbage in comparison to all potatoes, or pretty much any other carb source since its micros are awful

But I already do get my carbs in, for breakfast I eat two eggs and a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich. Maybe low carb diet would work...

>Freezer or fridge doesn't matter for oven/pan cooking?
It does if you don't thaw the frozen chicken first. You can throw frozen chicken in an oven and it'll cook, but it'll just take longer and have a less appetizing texture. Still fine to eat

>What do you recommend instead of the rice? I feel like I need a meat, vegggie and something else.
2 veg. Since I entertain quite a bit, I like some presentation on my plates, so I'll have differing veg for visual appeal (i.e. a green leafy like spinach and something from the red/orange/yellow color side of things like peppers or tomato salad)

Its a cheap source of carbs, that's all. Carbs which should be minimized (MINIMIZED, not eliminated, you anti-keto spergs) on a cutting diet because they're calorically dense for lower satiation. I don't frankly care where he gets his carbs from, but rice is shilled as a health food so much that so many retards still eat way too much of it and wonder why their rate of weight loss sucks

>Maybe low carb diet would work...
No, they dont

>chicken and rice
Not bad but don’t be afraid to change it up. That shit gets boring real quick and if you’re a fatty you probably don’t have the willpower to stick to a boring diet

This is absolutely fucking retarded in so many ways. Holy shit

Ok, thanks for answers. Regarding minimal carbs, what percent or amount do I shoot for? I'm 5'10 at 275. I know my calorie goal but I still struggle with carbs and protein and other micro stuff...

>rice
enjoy being fat

How so? They fit great with my budget and calorie limit. Only like 260- 400 depending on which one. Plus it's easy and quick since I don't have a lot of time in the morning.

Sage, Rosemary and Basil are my go tos
Thyme, tarragon and marjoram have their places though.
Forget parsley unless it's fresh.
Mint can be interesting.

>rice makes you fat
Hi mom

50%broton,20%carb,30%fat

>Don't reheat in oven you'll end up with cardboard
Nigger wut? Just be sure to preheat and tent in foil or use a pan/dish with a lid.

>He doesn’t get it.

>20% carb
Really? That seems a lot. What's the logic behind that? Won't that impede my weight loss? I want to be at 200 by end of the year.

Anyone new to cooking will almost certainly overcook their breast while trying to reheat in the oven

>Regarding minimal carbs, what percent or amount do I shoot for?
Unless you're on steroids, percentages are overhyped. The key is maintaining your calorie deficit while also feeling full since that will help keep you from going over the intake. If you maintain high protein and high veggie intake, you'll feel fuller longer and be less inclined to eat more carby stuff. Never take your eyes of the calorie counts, though

There are plenty of make ahead and/or quick breakfast recipes out there that have a better ratio of calories and macros you need while also being more nutritious and satiating

It's not. It should be 50% carb 20% protein but make sure you get 1gram/lbs body weight

>There are plenty of make ahead and/or quick breakfast recipes out there that have a better ratio of calories and macros you need while also being more nutritious and satiating
Can you post an example please?
Ok...I'm still hesitant but Jow Forums probably knows better than I do

>First meal ever cooked.

kek talk about the pot calling the kettle black

I like to have sardines and eggs in the morning. I typically do them one of three ways:
>fisherman's eggs
Basically sardines and veggies topped with eggs and baked in an iron skillet. Takes like 10 minutes to cook plus oven pre-heating time. Very low carb (unless you eat it with toast like many do), great nutrition

>not quite huevos rancheros
Even quicker than fisherman's eggs. Mix up a can of sardines with a fork, put the mix on a couple corn tortillas, then top with fried eggs and salsa

>savory fish oats
This may take some getting used to because most people eat their oats sweet. It's basically the same as the huevos dish, but served with oats cooked in less water than instructions say, and then topped with some seasoning and hot sauce. The heaviest of the 3 in terms of satiation and carb count. I use this meal while bulking and/or days where I'm forced to do a later workout and lunch

You can literally google "quick breakfast recipes" or "make ahead breakfasts" and get ideas. Hell, if you're that strapped for time, boil a lot of eggs one night and just eat a few in the mornings on your way out

what's wrong with you. i'm genuinely curious.

What's up with /fits veggie portion sizes they are always insanely tiny.
Is this an American thing?

Cook your broccoli with some lemon juice and fresh black pepper next time. Makes it dank.

You're waifu a brain damaged shit because she's too stupid to feed herself, faggot

>What do you recommend instead of the rice? I feel like I need a meat, vegggie and something else.

Do a search for konjac noodles and remember to season them and use a bit of SAUCE
They don't taste of much but they work as a filler, absorb flavour from other stuff well and they are about 15 cal a portion.

how fat are we talking? 1600 calories seems pretty harsh for a fatman to start at

He means per meal. I mean, he seeks approval of his cooking, he'll never make it.

Don't listen to people telling you rice is ok. Brown rice is considered medium in the glycemic index but it will still pop your blood sugar level. Look up insulin resistance and weight loss and you will find tons of research on how to diet right.

I was prediabetic 6months ago with a fasted bsl of 8.2 mmo/l. I was over 225 lbs at 5'8". Now I'm 178lbs.

go the fuck to r/fitness for actual advice. reddit is for faggots yes, but this place will not give you real advice its just a place where some of us lift and all of us shitpost

Instead of starving yourself on a low calorie diet. you can switch to a ketogenic one and eat to satiation while still loosing weight

This is bad advice. Losing weight should be a slow, gradual process. If you’re tracking your caloric intake and are at a deficit, then brown rice is a healthy and nutritionally dense food. Cutting the rice will make you lose more quickly but you’ll ass-blasted hungry and won’t be able to sustain the routine. Think of how you’ll look and feel in 5 years not 5 months.

Seasoning: use whatever has no/next to non calories. Spicy is better (i.e hot sauce). Season while cooking and after, up to your taste.

Macros: get the nutritional detail of every food you use, weight and get the real macro composition. Meet your protein then fat target, fill the rest with carbs, don't follow percentages.

Timing: explore IF (16:8, OMAD, water fasting, etc) maybe some of these might fit you best, in my case, 19:5 on lifting days and OMAD on rest days is top comfy, faster and simpler.
I like to put all my food in a large container when doing OMAD, so explore what fits together. Make your own tomato paste/sauce with fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, any other spice you want. Add meat, beans, etc. Cheap, functional, nutritional, healthy.

Why wouldn't you already have proper plates though? Isn't this your house? How long have you been living there?

>First meal ever cooked
How did you get fat if you've never cooked food before?

Blanch it for 45 seconds. It comes out perfect

>Literally seasoning chicken in the sink.
What kind of foul lazy nigger thought up this barbaric practice?
