Anything! Talk about fitness goals, finance, talk about your book, college, dating, ect.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you guys decide what to eat every day? Do you have the same thing every day? What do you eat daily?

I am LOSING MY MIND without being able to just eat the food from my school's cafeteria!!!!!!!!!!!!! Normally I got my breakfast AND lunch there, but this summer I've been making it myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Driving me CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big pack of chicken from the store, big box of ric, big bag of frozen peas. Same thing every night except Thursday when I splurge on Buffalo Wild Wings, and an alternating Saturdays when I'll go out to eat with friends

Air fryers get made fun of now for some reason, but I swear by them.

>>81831556
My only goal is to get 110-150g of protein in a day, and to eat as few calories as possible in doing so. I mostly eat protein bars, pork loin, and beef fajitas right now. Usually I eat the same foods every day for a period of several months and then get bored of it and switch to something else.

>>81831638
What kind of unemployed fuck is out here making fun of air fryers?

>>81831653
I think some YouTuber made fun of them being "adult easy bake ovens" (they actually are on a technical level but whatever) but yo can make great shit in no time with them.

>>81831556
I eat fast food every day!

>>81831556
I mostly eat the same things, pasta, rice, tuna and chicken, I live in an apartment complex and the neighbours hate the smell of food so I don't have many options

>>81831556

>think of dishes that you have enjoyed all your life, whether they are comfort food from childhood, something you got from a restaurant, an order from hello fresh's recipes, or even just the old fashioned way a recipe book, write them all day

>go to the store and buy things you need for recipes you like

>either prep the ingredients or the actual meals themselves and store them, then prepare when needed

ideal but not always possible, sometimes I will just eat the same thing for a week, like chilli, soup w/ rice or noodles

Buying stuff that you can use easily helps a lot. Just buy the healthier quality stuff, organic pantry foods are much better quality, getting organic marked meat and veggies I don't always do, except for certain things like milk and eggs.

Finally a kind of thread I can get behind, I don't post on r9k very often, I check the board about once a month or so, but I'll make sure to keep my eyes out for this thread when I do.

I got myself a weighted vest not too long ago to make my workout on the treadmill more intense, I usually run 11km/h for 40 mins but I wasn't able to keep that same speed yesterday when I tried it, I had to lower it to 10km/h, now my goal is to build my way up to getting used to 12 km/h while having 10 extra kg on me.
Funny part is when I took it off after the workout it briefly felt as if I was walking on the surface of the Moon, moving around took so much less effort.

No amount of improoving can help if you're 25+ and still a loser.

>what to eat every day

don't eat every day. give your digestive system regular breaks. 24hr fast ~1/mo. I've barely eaten in the past 3 days and just noticed it.

in general i have around a dozen go-to recipes if i want to eat something nice. otherwise just filler like bodybuilder slop. also stews, which can last for a long time in the fridge and get better in the few days after the flavors set. the french have mastered this method

Jazz what can a man do if he's lost it all?

going to the gym shoon

I'm still broke and I still don't know what to do to earn money. I'm 99% about to break the law over this shit

Drove the way home after getting fast food today. Also started reading another chapter of the book my counselor recommended before OP asks it's called The Self-Confidence Workbook by Barbara Markway Have eaten an apple for the past 3 days, too. #Applemaxxing
Not a lot of progress but at least it's some.

>>81831545 (OP)
i havent been on r9k for a while now. nice to see they implemented a /SIG/. comfy as fuck

>>81831556
do u get free food from the cafeteria, does jazz not meal prep?

>>81834303
nothing can compare to /sig/ on pol 6 years ago. most people on this board are troons anyway they dont need self improvement

>>81834709
All free! The cafeteria workers think I'm cute haha

came back from the gym. Even ran a bit on the treadmill

>>81835453

>>81835490
fucking based, which ones you looking at tonight anon?

>>81835493
Whoa, that's super!!!!!!!
I recommend investing early in comfortable shoes. Like, if you can go for $80, go for $80! Good footwear is the foundation of a sustainable, active lifestyle like warehouse work.
I think just by being 18 and a female you're gonna have sooooooooooooooooooooooo many friends there lmao, don't trust creeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO RANDOM HUGSSSSSSSSSS

>>81835502

I make my own cannabis tincture, very easy to over do, one time I drank like 50 euros worth and slept two days and when I woke up I was still as high as Neptune. I believe it was a coma, I drank myself in to a coma from Cannabis tincture

>>81835526
Hahahaha yeahhhhhhhhhhh sickkkkkkkkkk

Jazz, I need your input in this
I've decided to "act" like a normie, in the sense that "ignorance is bliss", see everything in binaries, and just enjoy the present and hope for the future

whadya think?

>>81834717
i remember /pol/ sig, they banned it since it wasn't politically related. in any case i didn't know there still troons in r9k. i didn't though the grooming of r9k would last that long

>>81835560
Not bad!!!!
I don't really go all in on philosophy stuff, we sometimes talk about it in the server. I like my life and I get that people like to think like, big picture stuff, but no thanks :P
So if that's normie then lol yeah welcome to the club life is chill af

>How do you guys decide what to eat every day?
For breakfast? Fruit or overnight oats. For lunch? Usually more fruit or a fried egg (+ bacon, mushrooms and cheese) on a toasted slice of bread.

As for evening meals; I set aside half an hour each Sunday to plan my meals for the upcoming week.
Since I'm single, each meal I prepare is enough to last for two days. This means I only need to plan for four meals each week.
Some examples of meals I make: slow cooker chili, baked fish with lemon sauce, creamed spinach with lamb, fruit/vegetable salad with chips and sausage, mashed potatoes + slow cooker pot roast, etc.
The fourth meal is usually takeout or just a simple sandwich on days that I feel lazy.

>>81836239
Impressive. Those cannons must've been expensive.

>>81835617
thank you for the input, Jazz :)

i probably have restless leg syndrome or sleep apnea or a combination of both
how fix. i have dark under eyes and ghostly pale skin too

Self-improvement is such a meme. Non-dysgenic people do not need to develop plans and routines to "improve" themselves. You are pining for an life that you will never have.

>>81836553
>how fix
Stay awake for 24 hours then go to sleep around 10 to 11pm and wake up at 7am.
Oh and make sure you're sleeping in a well-ventilated room (open your window slightly) so your brain isn't being starved of oxygen.

Get that cringe neo-Nazi bullshit out of my face.
All I believe in is /sig/.

>>81838799
who said anything about "neo"? You should know better that anons aren't neo-nazis

>>81838883
Unless you're like 80 years old, you're not a Nazi, anon.
You're a wannabe that even actual Nazis would have despised.

>>81838957
I'm a monarchist, posting Hitler and stuff like that is just 4chan culture

>>81838983
>posting Hitler and stuff like that is just 4chan culture
No, that's /new/ and old /pol/ culture. Modern /pol/ is pretty much just boomers part of the MAGA-cult raging against everything woke-cult related.

>>81839005
lets not derail this with politics

I was late to a meeting this morning because I fell asleep masturbating on the couch
How can I avoid doing this in the future?

>>81840168
masturbate in bed and you'll wake up in bed, silly

>>81840168
masturbation often causes one to become sleepy

>>81840168
Tell your coworkers about it so they can help remind you to not masturbate on the couch.

>>81831545 (OP)
