When I finally decided that I was going to “kick” my unhealthy habits of overeating, binge drinking and weight cycling, I was a little skeptical about my ability to adopt a healthier diet that wasn’t boring. The thought of choking down dry chicken breasts and steamed broccoli was not the life I wanted. So, when I started researching about various foods and began experimenting in the kitchen, I realized there are tons of ways to eat healthier without “breaking the bank.” Here are 5 easy recipes for men to help kick-start your healthy eating regimen.

I friggin’ love these. These egg, turkey & potato muffins are good for anytime of day. And if you’ve got the late-night munchies, these are perfect to pop in the microwave to satisfy cravings so you won’t reach for that bag of chips.

Mini-Breakfast Casseroles
Starting your day with proper nutrition is important. You supply your body with energy and fuel to conquer the day so you can be at your best. When you don’t have a lot of time in the morning, I recommend “meal prepping,” or preparing your meals in advance so all you have to do is “re-heat, grab and go.” Try these mini-breakfast casseroles to help you start your day!

Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers
One of the foods I’ve come to rely on in my diet is quinoa. It is high in protein, a solid complex carbohydrate that will give me energy throughout the day and it is easy to incorporate into recipes because it takes the flavor of the food you cook it with. Toss in some meat and sauce and you’re good to go!
