Tomato Bisque and Food Quality Difference in Fitness/Health

Cooking your own food can make a big difference in your overall health and fitness. I have a fitness trainer’s license, and one thing I’ve noticed—both in others and in myself—is that eating well tends to be the biggest challenge. By preparing my own meals, I’ve not only cut back on processed foods but also reduced my intake of the preservatives and hormones often found in them.

Did I notice a difference?

It’s hard to say definitively since there are many factors involved. I loosely count calories without obsessing over macros and maintain a decent level of fitness. Still, I believe cooking at home has had a substantial positive impact. It’s generally easier to lose weight when you prepare your own meals, likely because you eat a bit less and use healthier ingredients compared to ready-made convenience foods.

This is my tomato bisque—it’s made by boiling fresh tomatoes, cooling them to remove the skins, cooking them again, pureeing, and then adding heavy cream and a mix of spices. The great thing about this dish is that you can make a large batch and can it for later use. It’s a versatile base—add shrimp, chicken, or other proteins—and the extra canning jars store perfectly in the cupboard or cellar (Yep I been canning.).
