You could make fajitas or tacos without the shell (replace with lettuce leaf). Italian is hard because it usually involves some sort of pasta. Grilling is an excellent idea and very healthy. Get some chicken breasts or pork and marinade it for a few hours or overnight.
for Italian, I'll put in oregano, garlic/garlic powder, pepper, pesto, parsley. Rosemary if it involves chicken. For Mexican - chipotle powder, cumin, oregano, cilantro, chili powder. Even just for sauteeing green veggies - they all get some combo of garlic, pepper, and oregano.
Experiment a bit - if I'm not sure what something needs, I'll put a little in a bowl, dump whatever spice seems good and then taste it. If I like it, it gets added. If not, try again!
Is his metabolism off the charts? I feel like I make no progress sticking to 1400 a day...
that could also be too low for you which will also hinder your progress. Have you ever looked into TDEE calculations?
I've been running off of my BMR. I calculated it to be 2200 so I figured 1400-1600 would be the sweet spot for healthy weight loss.
I don't even think I could eat 8000 unhealthy calories (meaning less food, more calories) without vomiting from being so full. Is your friend Michael Phelps?
I usually get in about 2 to 3 miles of walking a day but nothing ultra active in the last few weeks with my knee being all jacked up.
Oven roasted chicken is tough to beat and pretty simple. Just pick up a 3-4 pound chicken from the HyVee/Fareway/Dahls meat dept., pat dry, rub the outside with a (very) little bit of butter and season with salt/pepper, cut up some carrots/onions/celery/rosemary and stuff into cavity, roast in shallow roasting pan at 450 for about an hour. Steam some veggies and serve with a little rice pilaf.
Another healthy meal that's simple would be fish tacos... just broil some tilapia, halibut, cod, cut it up and serve with some chopped salad or coleslaw mix in small corn tortillas. I have a great cilantro/lime sauce that I make for these if you're interested.
Also, if you're looking to lose weight I'd suggest trying to do the gluten free thing. Can be a pain, but it works.

That's pretty low for a guy. For anyone that does any exercising it's going to be really low.
I don't think I believe in this.....according to it, I take in less than half the calories I'm supposed to daily.....I should be skeletal at this point.
He eats like 5 whole meals throughout the day on top of a mass gainer protein shake that is 1500 calories on its own.
