Writing exercise

With doing some excercise, I start to change my diet. I would feel very hungry after the excercise which seems like that my body extremely crave for energy. So I looked some healthy food menu up online and prepared some chicken breast, shrimp, tofu and vegetables like broccoli and carrots last weekend. On Sundy morning, before I went to the gym, I put some seasonings on the chicken breast which could make it taste good. When I came back home, I fried the chicken directly with salt free and boiled broccoli and carrots a lilltle, then fired them together. At past, I didn’t like cooking at all since I didn’t have any sense on it and usually I would give up after I had thought about what kind of food I would like to eat for a long time. Now, it does not need to search for food online aimlessly for me, but just focus on the high protein food like beef, chicken, shrimp, fish, egg, beans and etc. And of course, I would only choose some very simple cooking methods with these ingredients.
