Cooking for family

[diekoi 43]

Anyone have a hard time planning meals for your family?

I guess my issue is my husband and son are very active and don't have to worry about weight. They eat relatively healthy, but they do eat carbs(not a lot, just normal). I am having a hard time planning meals for them and grocery shopping since I really don't eat what they do. I just cannot seem to come up with ideas. Poor guys! Lol

Just wanted to see if anyone having this same challenge

Maybe you can tell them to let you know what they'd like? I'm pre-op but sometimes I'm just at a loss as to what to make for dinner & one of my guys will let me know what they'd like & it solves the problem. I eat anything & so does my husband so we don't care what they want because it's usually a baked chicken dish or "spicy" salmon as they call it! Just a thought...

I don't cook differently. Most of the time I eat what my family eats-except I skip the carbs. I will eat Protein and veggies.

I do find it hard to cook when I'm not hungry. I cook 90% of the time and I just eat a smaller portion of what I cook. I don't like Pasta, rice, and bread but they do just fine without it and I'm not opposed to them eating it.
