[Angelo]

cashew nuts.

[kahuna]

my diet right nowBreakfast:1 poached egg on a slice of wholemeal toast. bowl of porridge with stewed apple, sultanas and walnuts, orange juice, cup of black coffee.Snack:peanut butter sandwich on wholemeal. home made protein brownie (very easy to make btw). apple.Lunch:Chicken or tuna salad with spinach, olives, tomatoes, cashew nuts and honey mustard dressing.Snack:shake with two scoops of vanilla whey, probiotic yoghurt, a banana, handful of frozen raspberries and blueberries, handful of oats.Post gym: shake, one scoop with water.Dinner:whatever the wife has cooked, she mostly cooks healthy things, fish and vegetables etc. she usually fixes me a steak once a week.Snack:handful of almonds, green tea.drink 3 litres of water spread thru out the day (pint each time i eat). the above works out at well over 200 grams of protein, and more or less balances out at about 35% protein, 35% carbs, 30% fats give or take.Daily Supplements:a good high dose fish oil, a scoop of Greens Superfoods mixed with one if my shakes, the whey i use is optimum nutrition 100% natural whey, i sometimes take a multivitamin if everyone around is getting colds.

thats some serious effort, i dont think i could physically eat that much. i eat reasonalby well, but cant deal with the rate of eating that often, even with small portionsid love to see what results i could achieve with more calories in my diet.

its easy once u get into the routine. difficult thing is having everything ready to take to work. i have to get up early to pack my lunches.sometimes i have to start work really early which means being up at 5 or 6 and i cant eat a proper breakfast, i then usually have a beefed up shake instead./also chicken bricks>>>>>>>anyone else use one?

[serpent]

I'm after a blender, has anyone got any decent suggestions as to which one to buy?Money isn't really an issue but at the same time i don't want to be spending a fortune on a blender. A necessitie is that it has to be extremely easy to clean as i don't want to spend ages cleaning it after every use.

Did a good week before slipping, but when you're short for time (or are too tired to be bothered) its easy to slip if you've got old stuff still lying about.Are there any decent meals that I can just throw in the oven like I used to with pizza?

there's these puff pastry rolls you can buy: rub tomato puree on it, some chicken/fish/beef fillet pieces, some veg (i use broccoli, and spring onions, dash of olive oil, into the oven and voila done in 15-20mins.

[Dubby]

nah I mean like all I have to do is unwrap and bang in the oven without having to prepare anything?

[Skenghis Khan]

mate you cant get big and strong without putting work in.pre make everything if u cant be f*cked to cook all the time or r short on time

[serpent]

Sorry to ask again, but any blender recommendations?

[Skenghis Khan]

[serpent]

easy to clean?

[Skenghis Khan]

What are you trying to do? I have stuffed pasta sometimes. Very quick and easy. Boil the kettle and I'm eating within 5 minutes.

[Dubby]

Just wanted some easy-to-cook meals I could prepare with minimal effort tbh. I'm still getting into the motion of keeping to a strict diet and going gym regularly but when I've got long days at uni or have just had a long night out it feels long to go downstairs and prepare myself food 'cause I'd usually just drop a pizza or whatever in the oven. - I've decided to go down the route of making food in advance like Sho said.Might try some stuffed pasta though safe.

my diet is sh*t however i eat around 30 eggs every 1 1/2 weeks, is eggs good for bulking?

[Dubby]

supposed to be a decent enough source of protein, but they usually recommend egg-whites 'cause the yolk has unnecessary calories/fat

[djbmc]

too many eggs can make u constipated i prolly have scrambled eggs every other day. (2 or 3)

[Skenghis Khan]

I hate guys that chuck the yolk./repsol try and avoid buying too much stuff like subways etc, also if u want chocolate things, its pretty easy to make protein brownies. just try and get a routine and get into good habit cos u dont want to have to think too hard about what u need to eat everyday.

I remember reading somewhere that the stuff they used to say about the yolk wasn't true. However, that is too many eggs by anyone's standards.

[Skola]

[Taurus]

[Aquaman]

yeah but have to consider the sides and sauces thoughthat's the main issue with eating in restaurants really, you don't control the recipes like you can when buying from the supermarket
