Share and discuss food you eat. A big part of being fit and healthy is from what you cook in the kitchen.
Peanut butter
Oats and ground turkey.
I had a Little Ceaser's Stuffed crust pizza and bacon for the past two days. Before that I had Hong Kong BBQ pork with Canola boilied in Sesame oil and water over rice. I vary my diet with healthy and garbage. I'm Asian so Rice composes most of my diet along with some sort of leafy green and meat.
Have you tried making your own peanut butter? It's super easy and so much cheaper than buying it. I demolish peanut butter like anything
i tend to eat a lot of food, its the majority of my diet
I wasnt aware people did that. I find peanut butter kind of cumbersome to eat. I mostly eat it just to get protein and because its easy to make store bought.
Yeah same here.
Yeah all you need to do is blend peanuts and vegetable oil and add a bit of salt. You can roast them before hand too. You can also make satay with it.
Nutritionist put me on a meat free diet for this week. She told me NOT to use beans or anything to bump the protein content. Just eat a lot of veggies. This is supposed to help kind of clean out my system, then we'll get back into animal proteins again next week.
Been doing a 40-30-30 split on 2900 calories/day in 5 meals. Carbs are usually rice or small potatoes. Protein is usually lots of chicken, but I throw in either beef or pork for at least one meal a day every week to change things up.
Just got an Instant Pot today. How the fuck did I not know about these before? Cooking something like vegetable soup was so quick and easy, it was ridiculous.

my average day's calorie sources.
you either have a huge undigested gumball in your stomach, or you misspelled cum
Oatmeal with cottage cheese has been my go to breakfast, lunch and dinner for the past 2 years. Loads of complex carbs, fats and protein. A perfectly balanced meal.
tho I mostly eat it for lunch. Breakfast is either blueberry muesli with vanilla greek yogurt and flavored soured milk, or tuna mixed with garlic dressing on a slice of bread. Dinner is chicken + whatever.
What's the reason for for cutting down protein for a week? A cleanse type thing?
Yeah. I take in like 301g of protein a day (that's a lot), and I have been for like 8 months now. So we're just doing a type of cleanse and to give my digestive system a break.
both are looking unlikely, I don't swallow
Duuude what the fuck you need to cut down. You should only be eating about 0.8 grams per kilo of body weight
1g per lb, which means it should be around 315g of protein. I'm targeting muscle growth to boost my BMR as a method to fat loss so I don't lose any lean muscle mass, and when I do slim down, I'll have the muscle already there. That means I need more protein than 0.8g/kg.
2800 calories over 5 meals.
301g Protein
189g Carbs
93g Fat
We'll probably lower the calorie count in a week or two though.
You're crazy man that's like 2.2g per kilo. I highly doubt anymore than half that will help build muscle, but it sounds like you're a professional body builder and i don't like to judge. But fuck thats a lot of food lol
i thought 1.5 - 2g per lb bodyweight was normal
1g per lb lean body mass is more reasonable. The science is kind of mixed as far as what we can draw from it. Concensus is that even very high allotments are safe, might help training
Pineapple pizza is bae
Well, there is multiple reasons. First and foremost, I'm trying to build muscle. Can't do that without protein.
But other than that, there are several other beneficial factors:
Protein increases satiety and satiation, helping you feel fuller for longer helping curb snacking.
Excess glycogen from carbs are stored as fat. So in order to stay within the range of your BMR and not dip too low, protein is a great "filler".
It's 4 calories/gram compared to 9 for fat, so it's less calorie dense. This is important if you don't want to feel hungry all the time.
And yes, it is a lot of food. I cook a minimum of 30 lbs of meat per week, with like 4 lbs of potatoes, 6 or 7 cups of rice, and a metric fuckton of green beans/carrots/broccoli.
I just had a quick read through some evidence based studies. The recommended daily intake is 0.8g per kg, but for weight training the figures varied around 1 to 2g per kg. I swear I read a good study talking about 1g per kg for weight training but I can't find it. I have heard the 2 to 2.2g per kg figure for Boddy building thrown around before though.
But no study suggests 1.5 to 2g per lb, that is way way too high. That would destroy kidneys

Pretty spot on, all sourced.
Replaced soda with milk kefir about a month and a half ago, stuck myself on 4 cups a day since. Aside from all the farting, it's real good stuff.
Any tips on increasing metabolism? I know I need to be eating more, but strangely enough can't find the motivation. I find myself feeling full after eating two normally portioned meals a day.
Thats quite strange. Maybe see a GP
Define "normal portion".
Also, if you're training, you may just have to force yourself to eat.
i like meat
Started working out around half a year ago, Iv'e also started to eat a bunch of fruits and toned down on the soda and snacks. I already see the results with some muscles getting bigger. Any tips on what to eat to speed up the muscle growth?
Highly recommend to eat at least a fruit a day, it's a small thing but it does a lot.
