Couples that lift together, don't always eat together.

Today I went grocery shopping. Let me give you a little play by play on how our cart looks.

2. Chicken
3. Frozen fish
4. Fruit
5. Nuts
6. Dark Chocolate

8. Daves Killer Grain Bread
9. Earth Balance Butter

Jared's side

1. 2 Red Baron Pepperoni Pizzas
2. 2 Boxes of Hot Pockets
3. Oreos
4. Peanut Butter Crackers
5. White Bread
6. Chicken
7. Saffron Rice
8. Frozen Lunches
9. Mayo

I wish this was a cruel joke, but it's not. My fiancé is the guy that can eat anything he wants and still stay chiseled. It's incredibly frustrating, but I love the guy... so I'll cut him some slack. Aside from temptations in this house, this makes for challenging dinners. I am a big advocate of family dinners, and am not about to share a Red Baron pizza with him. I have learned to improvise. Here's my secret: find a protein and veggie and swap out your carb.

Good proteins:

Grass fed beef (I don't eat red meat.. another challenge!)

Fish

Shrimp

Chicken

Turkey

Once I know what protein we will work with, I simply swap out the carb for something lean. I will make saffron rice (with butter) for him, and a zero carb noodle or an egg for myself. Being in a partnership is awesome, because he will give up his butter for some coconut oil. It's all about compromising.

Here are those noodles I recommend:
