I Am Not A Cook!

I am by no means now or have I ever been a cook. I manage but that's about it. The worst part of all is that I don't like to cook. This makes dieting, especially such a strict diet, extra difficult. I've read other blogs and people talk about the neat recipes they've tried using the limited ingrediants during Phase 2. I think if I have to make cook from recipes it will make the diet totally unbearable. I failed at the South Beach Diet for that reason alone. Earlier this week I went to Cosco and bought chicken breasts. I weighed them out to exactly 3.5 oz with my new digital scale. I was little surprised at what 3.5 oz was. I knew it was a small amount, about as big as a deck of cards there was a lot of variation in the size of the chicken. Some pieces were as big as morsals and didn't look significantly thicker but weighed more than some of the other "bigger" pieces. Your allowed 2 meats a day, each weighing 3.5 oz (raw). I put each 3.5 oz piece in ziplock bags after I grilled them with only salt and steak seasoning. Hey, it was yummy. And when your hungry it's the best bland chicken ever. You also get an alloitment of 2 portion of 3.5 oz of certain veggies. I'll post what a typical meal looks like to give those contemplating this venture a clue of what those portions look like.
