Now, while I eat more chicken than anything else, I love steak. In general, I'm too cheap to buy steak at full price, so I keep an eagle eye on the "used meat bin" at the grocery store and always snap up any good steaks that I find there. I've never gotten a bad piece of meat from the "used meat bin," but I do make certain that I either cook the meat immediately or put it into the freezer as soon as I get home.

In the United States eggs are traditionally a breakfast food, but I like eggs just about anytime. And I like eggs just cooked just about any way you can think of: scrambled, deviled, fried, poached, hard-boiled ... any way but raw. Eggs are quick, they're easy, they're cheap, and they always seem like comfort food to me. Eggs for dinner are particularly good when you're crunched for time or for when the food budget for the week is shot.

Clyde from Texas is 47 years old. He follows the Atkins program and is current at goal weight and on maintenance. Clyde began at 280 pounds and a 40 inch "tight" waist. He was delighted to reach 210 pounds and wear size 36 waist pants for the first time in over 20 years. Clyde's weight is currently 222 pounds but not from fat gain, rather lean muscle from weight training.

Since I didn't want to spend an inordinate amount of time in the kitchen, our meals revolved around some type of meat on the grill, deviled eggs, a vegetable relish plate with dip, and a fruit plate. I made the deviled eggs, the vegetable relish plate, and the fruit plate up at the beginning of the week and replenished them daily as we ate all of certain items. So when dinnertime rolled around each day, I simply had to turn on the grill to cook the meat and bring out the various plates of side dishes.
