Was wondering if there was some type of company anyone knew of that made clean foods that were packaged and deliverable (Like Jenny Craig, only healthy/clean). Im burnt out on cookin my own food and me a friend at the gym were talkin about how cool it would be if there was a company that allowed you to set your calories and macronutrient percentages and then they ship you your food to match those values.

It would be pretty expensive.

I also don't think any particular macronutrient ratio averaged over the day is preferable to any other. You might want to optimize your particular macronutrient intake over different periods of the day, but something that complicated would likely require the services of a personal nutritionist.

The Zone Diet describes a program that could include a delivery of food by Fed Ex. (But I'm guessing you're probably looking for something a little more than 1700 calories a day.)

With a food plan comprising an accurate balanced ratio of carbohydrates (40%), fat (30%) and proteins (30%); you actually get to eat foods, which control your body’s insulin production.

The Zone Diet, unlike other diets, insists dieters to keep a close watch on the calorie consumption while eating: a meal not exceeding 500 calories and a snack not exceeding 100 calories is ideal for staying in the Zone.

Hmmmm..... If I could get just 10 people to pay me $13,000 a year to bring them food, I could make a pretty good living. Thanks for the idea!

I have the same problems as you my friend, so I finally asked a guy at the gym what he does... Get your chicken in bulk, you can ussually find a store like Costco or Sams that sells a crapload of chicken for 10 - 15 dollars. I can pick up 7lbs of chicken for about 13 dollars... that's a ton of friggin chicken. Get yourself a George Foreman type grill, you can go for "The George" or get some knockoff that is cheaper.( look for one with removable grill plates tho so you can use your dishwasher)

Take all the chicken and put chicken rub on it( Yes all 7lbs )(there are many rub flavors are available) . Let that work its way in for about 5 minutes. Then take a fat free cooking spray and spray down your grill. Cook each chicken breast for about 7 or 8 minutes so you don't dry it out. Also cut into it and make sure you see no pink, but 7-8 minutes is ussually good. Once you're done with a certain set of chicken breasts, take a wet kitchen rag and rub down the grill to get all the crap off it. Don't burn yourself, and watch for steam burns. If you mess yourself up on a grill I take no responsibility ( read the manual ).

So now you have 7lbs of cooked chicken ... now what? You need a carb, right? Instant brown rice is your friend :) Most of them you can microwave, so make yourself a crapload of rice in the microwave.

Now what ??

You can add frozen veggies ( yes cooked ) to said rice and sweet and sour sauce and make a pretty tasty mixture. Eat that and your chicken and you'll have a nice macro split. It should take you about 2 hours on a sunday night to cook all this and you're golden for a week, just partition it all into separable tupperware(i recommend ACTUAL tupperware their containers are the bomb) . If you don't like rice go with potatoes( just look up a good mashed recipe and use FF milk ).

If you're cutting just remove the rice from that mixture and eat the veggies and chicken. 2 cups mixed veggies + chicken will equal high protein, moderate carb, low fat... unless you like deepfry something...

You just gotta play around and figure out what works for you...

PS: If anyone has like quick breakfast ideas, I am all ears :D

If anyone has like quick breakfast ideas, I am all ears :DTake a couple of blocks of tofu or a tub of cottage cheese. Mix with a hand mixer or in a blender with about 4 eggs or 8 egg whites or so. Stir in about 2 Cups of oats. Add a couple of scoops of protein powder and some water, if desired. (Other possible additions include artificial sweetener, cocoa powder, cinnamon, almond extract, walnuts, etc.) Form into pancakes and brown in a pan on both sides. Once cooled, store in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge before eating. :eat:
