2-Roll into balls the size of a golf ball and place on a tinfoiled cookie sheet sprayed with Pam.

You guys put way to much effort in for my time management skills.


1 of my quick "meals" is this...

Macaroni Noodles (enough to, when cooked, fill a big pot)
4-5 cans of Tuna
Mayo (I like it to be a little on the "to much" mayo side as it get's dry easy)
Sliced Green onion.

Makes a big ass pot and I just dip in and eat until I'm full. Good Carb/Protein/Fat balance.

2nd easy meal.

1 Box of Kraft Dinner/Rice-a-Roni/Hamburger Helper depending on my mood.
1lb Lean Ground Beef.
That's fucking it. Eat it.

At this stage in my life I'm eating because I have to not because I want to. I have very little time to actually cook so all my meals are quick, easy and to the point.

Berz out.

Where do u guys buy your groceries from?

-ground pork
-white rice mixed with brown rice
-brocoli
-some salt and sugar

mix it all together

Spend 30-45 minutes on a sunday making 2 weeks worth of meatballs and spagetti, and buy spagetti sauce.

now to cook dinner takes me exactly 1 minute 45 seconds in the microwave.

time management skills. :fuckyea:

Chicken tournedos(cook enough to last 2 weeks)
1L of milk
Rice or a banana if on the go.
If rice, chinese food too.

Total : 45grams of protein, 900 calories.

Just something simple, i dont really have the patience to cook food, mainly because i have a grandma who cooks food and prepares it for me :okay:

This is a good meal for low carb days, very quick and tasty. Works great if you are doing Leangains IF, on low-carb-high-fat days:

You'll need;

6 eggs (omega 3 if possible)
Coconut milk
Berries
Cocoa powder
Cinnamon

In a saucepan, use low-medium heat and some coconut oil. Beat the eggs, and slowly cook while stirring.

When eggs begin to solidify, add some coconut milk. Not too much, I'd say no more than 1/2 cup.

Keep stirring, and eventually you'll get this fluffy texture that is similar to a custard.

Plate the eggs, and throw on some berries. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, whatever.

Lightly sprinkle with cocoa powder and cinnamon.

It actually tastes even better cold. Like a dessert!

This recipe has a ton of protein, lots of good fat, and some carbs from fruit (not garbage). It's full of antioxidants from the fruit, cocoa, and cinnamon, and will keep you full for a long time, considering it only takes a few minutes to make.

^^^^^^ w0w going to try that tomorrow

remember to use low heat and stir constantly, or you'll get scrambled eggs

That worked out great skinny

All you need to know about workout diet:

I suggest adding in sliced bacon. It seriously makes it damn savory.

so Ive been suggest to come here for my question.

" what do you guys eat?
I work out 4 days a week now and I am still not getting the body (more like bf) I wanted.
I think its the Chinese foods I eat everyday

What are your guys' routines? "

Basically... what should I eat with a busy schedule that is outside most of the day (sometimes till 9pm) so that means I cannot eat chicken breast for lunch or dinner etc.

I work 10-12 hour days outside with no fridge or heat. I eat 2 full chicken breasts everyday for lunch.

The key is to prepare ahead of time. On sundays, cook up a weeks worth of chicken and pasta or brown rice. both can be eaten cold for lunch/dinner.

I always start my day with a big bowl of oatmeal. and not that prepackaged sugar oatmeal. add some cinnamon and chopped up granny smith apples. mmmm.

Other things like chili or stew can be warmed up in the morning in the microwave and kept piping hot in a good thermos for lunch. Infact, my thermos can keep chili nearly too hot to eat for 8 hours no problem.

dam thats nice. what kind of thermo you use?
Hmm i love oatmeal.

Regarding chili, isnt it really high in carbs (correct me if im wrong, I thought it was the high carbs from Asian food that's bad for you)

^ theres probably only 350 grams of carbs in that whole chili recipe

for real?
the 8-9 serving one?!

the pasta sauce has 70g carbs for the whole can. 1/4th of it is fiber
the 2 cans of crushed tomatos have 126g carbs total. 1/3rd of it is fiber
the 2 cans of kidney beans have 238g carbs BEFORE draining. half is fiber
the carbs in fresh veggies is irrelevent because the other nutrients in them outweigh the negatives of the carbs
ground beef has no carbs

so that gives about 434g carbs. minus the fiber (since fiber is not broken down into glucose) and youve got about 280g carbs over 9 servings you're looking at 30-35g of per meal. include veggies youre maybe at 50g per meal. most people will argue that veggie carbs are not a problem unless youre very very strict.


there is a TON of protein in it tho.
the kidney beans are good for about 130g protein
the ground beef is good for about 320g protein.

just those 2 are worth 450g protein. say theres another 50g protein spread amongst the veggies and sauce.. 500g protein over 9 servings. roughly 55g protein per meal.
