Food: Healthy and easy food

I thought I that I should add a really nice meal, that consists of enough veggies and protein and low in carbs and fat. Its a really easy dish, it's just all about finding food you really like and add them together.

This is how my plate looked when I was done:


This dish is just basic ovengrilled chicken with some of my favorie veggies:

  • Leek 
  • Onion
  • Shrooms 
This dish didnt take more a lot of time to prepare, the biggest time was spent on just waiting for the chicken to be done in the oven. I think I had it in for 20 min on 200*c, but you will notice it on the outside of the chicken when it's done. Worst case take it out and cut the biggest part in half and see if it's still red.

This is another easy dish which tastes good good :3 
Also a dish where I used the oven. Ovenbaked meet is the one that have the least chance to destroy the meat structure at moleculear level. 
  • Green cabbage
  • Red beans 
_______________________________________________________________



This dish is made with salmon as my main ingredient, I picked some natural not spiced salmon filee to prevent them from being over salted. I end up using pepper and seasoning and at some points also a bit of garlic powder for extra taste
  • Carrot 
  • Asparagus beans/green beans

Another dish with pork, also this time it is made in the oven, but it's not a problem frying it, the only difference is that it won't be as tender as one that is made in  the oven. I used a sauce here, to spice up the meat a bit, thats all up to the person eating. Personally I try to take out the sauce to not get any extra callories. I ended up putting some sesame seeds on the veggies pluss some soysauce-mixture
  • Spring Onion
  • Broccoli
  • Celery
  • Green beans 
_____________________________________________________________________


Chicken cut up in small pieces mixed with spring onions and lemongrass, with my soysauce-mixture. most of my food is basically made as seperated veggies and meet, or as a wok-ish thing. This one is one of the meals that is made into a wok where I fry the meat first than add the veggies at the end of the frying time. While the veggies gets done I put in the sauce or seasoning. The salad is topped with some cottage cheese for more taste and to make the salad not so boring. 
  • Spring onions
  • Lemongrass
  • Salad 

____________________________________________________________________


Its important to eat enough while at work or school, and as a fast and easy meal you can allways go for some kinda salad. There are so many posibilities to mix around your favorie ingredients and use stuff like tuna, chicken, eggs, or ground meat as the main ingredient. I used tuna in mine since its really good.
  • Plain salad
  • Red onion
  • Tomatoes 

_________________________________________________________________________



Another wok variant. This one is made with chicken, but you can also go for like beef or something similar. But as a student I dont have money to use on beef because it cost too much, thats why I focus on chicken and pork as they are cheaper meat-product than beef. I tend to stick around wtih the same variant of vegetables but there are a lot of vegetables to chose from. The sauce I used here was a terayaki sauce I bought allready mixed up together. 
  • Carrot
  • Onions
  • Leek 
_____________________________________________________________

Some days, you just want to make a really good and tasty meal with sauce on. This time I had chicken with bretagne bretagne sauce which after my opinion is one of the best sauces for chicken. I also made a sweetpotato gratin beside a allready big enough meal. But at least it gave me a lot of energy.
  • Broccoli
  • Green beans 
  • Cauliflower
  • Chanterelle
  • Sweet potatoes 

____________________________________________________________


This can be used for some lunch, with ciabatta-bread with a chicken piece and bacon, surronded by some more veggies. 
  • Leek
  • Broccoli
  • carrot 
  • Min onions 

This is my list of different kinda food I have made, if there is any questions feel free to leave a comment :)

Challange: Fitness challange

I recently started out a new challange. Me and two other friends are competing against eachother to see who would have changed their body the most on 6 months. Obviously me as a girl would get different goals and challanges than two guys, but overall we will see a lot of changes.

So well yeah my goal is the tummy-area. To get most of the fat away and start working on some muscles and to get just a bit marked. Their challange is to gain weight in muscles, approxemetly 10-15kg. Mine doesnt really count on the kiloes, since I would mostly try to transform fat to muscles.

I will update this matter for the nexts months, allready 1 month into this challange. I started out with a pretty okay base, because I did do one year of gym before I stopped. BUT now i'm back in buisness again :3

At the first week this was my stats:
Height: 173 cm
Weight: about 79kg
2km treadmill runtime: 12 minutes and 30 seconds
Weight lifting: Usually just the shaft (20kg)

I'm dont' really like to post pictures of myself on net but here it goes anyway:

Miss boxhead :3

I have changed a bit on my diet too, mostly the part where I didnt think much about the food I ate. 
Food I stopped eating: 
  • All types of suger, if i need anything sweet I use stevia or sukrin 
  • Almost all types of carbs exept for days I am bad at eating
Mostly my food exist of clean meat, not some product stuffed with lots of ingredients and veggies.. Lots of lots of veggies :D I dont really count callories, since I have been doing this for a while. I know kinda how much I need daily without getting too full or too little food. 

My training: 
  • From 11 pm - 01 am, all round training, focus on both cardio and strenght 
    • 10-15 minutes with running on threadmill 
    • 10-15 minutes metabolic circuit training (LINK), every second day
    • 1 hour with weightlifting 
  • Might some days also have a morning exercise that consist of some pushups, situps and squats
I can specify if anyone wondering about some details :)

Fitness girls: Hot or not?

I think the big training-boom started only a couple of years ago. Suddenly everyone focused on training hard. Many fitness-bloggers got popular fast with their training-tips and healthy "fitness-food". I have also thrown myself into this madness but the question that I have asked so many already is; is it hot or horrible to see woman with muscles that isn't just skinny,but awfully strong too?

My personal opinion here is; Daaamn! I wish more girls would train hard to get a healthy body instead of a thin and unhealthy body that is build only on special "thin-genes".
In Norway we got many "fitness-girls" and I would like to give them a special place here in my blog, in case anyone wanted to read more about their hardworking days:

First up: Linn Cesilie Tovås, which participate in bikinifitness Norway and won this competition in 2013


She focus much on her daily training of course, but she also have good tips on how to eat good stuff without being to fanatic. I guess she's the only one at the moment that will get a little introduction, since I'm to lazy to write more :P
-->BLOG<--










Next I will add some random inspirational fitness-girls:

Dana Linn Bailey, one of the more extreme woman out there
Here is her youtube channel: -->YOUTUBE<--

It's hard to find good picture where the girl isn't dressed up in 10 layers of makeup while taking a photoshot. I try as best as I can to find more natural training girl that isn't in just for the fame. 


I'll think I'll end this post with a fun little movie. The flipside workout. On this clip the roles are completely changed. All the steriotypes from the gym where the guys are like "YEAHH training, lots of protein!", they suddenly end up in the yoga room. Enough of that, just watch it;



Oh and if any girls feel like wanting to achieve this, but need a little more motivation, you got to check out this video below, because it will get you pumped up and and your willpower will definitely shoot high. Damn.
