Hot sauce is a good one, Franks is the shit. I try to stear away from BBQ sauce for the most part, but during a bulk I will indulge in it myself. Thanks G

Tabasco is a must. Cayenne Pepper has been found to inprove circulation as well as boost metabolism.

For those of you who dont like alot of vinegar try Tapatio. Thats a personal favorite on eggs in a tortilla.

salt and pepper are all that's needed on chicken. you might try lemon juice w/ honey though - it adds carbs, so keep that in mind.

for the eggs, hot sauce is good, but you might want to try steak sauce or a little garlic salt.

just some thoughts from an aspiring chef.

Hot sauce (Frank's). Black pepper (helps to burn fat). Sea salt. Old Bay.

India spices are good too: curry, red pepper, tumeric, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, cumin, ginger and garlic (lots of garlic). Been working with the Indian spices for about a year now. The key appears to be roasting the dry ingredients in your pan for about 15 min with stirring prior to adding wet ingredients(olive oil, water, etc.) Vadic fire (sp?) is kick ass! Good for the body and soul.

www.indianspices.com/ <--- this seems to be a cool site to help spice things up! Pun intended I suppose.

Definately Franks! That shit goes on everything. If you want to go hotter, daves Insanity, or Blairs pretty much kills the taste of anything. I also just found Melinda's Ground Habenero. This stuff is very brutal, but GOOD

I grill my chicken breast with lemon juice and ground black pepper and my pork with just the ground black pepper. When I get ready to eat it I usually cover it in Louisiana hot sauce, same goes for eggs in the morning.

My main carb sources are brown rice and oats. For Brown rice I use Tony Sacharies Creole Seasoning, dash that on and mix some tuna in and you have a hell of a meal. My oatmeal..I don't remember which article it's from but one of the Animals said it best - you put enough splenda on it, that shit tastes like candy.

Black Pepper and Just a little A1. I know the A1 has some sugars and a ton of sodium, but a little wont kill you...hopefully

[QUOTE=Curos;2033]I grill my chicken breast with lemon juice and ground black pepper

For me, marinating is the key to really delicious chicken breast.... makes it much more tender and adds flavor. I use a plastic bag. Put the chicken, wine, vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, or juice or whatever you like using into the bag along with whatever spices you like, squeeze out the air and wait about 20 minutes or more before grilling.

That sounds like an awesome idea Mack... My stomach is rumbling just imagining some marinated chicken breasts on the BBQ. Peace, G

I mix my oats and egg whites together when I cook them, throw some fat free cheese in the mix and spinkle with Molly McButter...I grill my chicken plain and than add flavors to the meal...Mix fat free Italian dressing with chicken/rice, a little fat free mayo. with diced cold chicken, almonds and sliced apples, slice the chicken breast in half, stuff it with grilled peppers, onions and potaoes...also drinking a diet soda with the meal helps to get it down!

Just black pepper, sometimes the Chipolte Tabasco, I usually dont mind the taste (I'm cutting ) so every time its time so eat Im so fucking hungry I would eat it off the floor!! I know this sonds weird but try mixing in some brewers in with your eggwhites, its different but tasty.

My oatmeal gets cinnamon and raisins, the chicken gets lemon and red bell peppers and the eggs? They just get eaten as quickly as possible.

the best thing i've ever done for my oatmeal was add dried cranberries, honey, lemon juice and paprika. the cranberries and lemon juice gave it a tartness that really brought out the smokiness of the paprika and sweetness of the honey. i was tempted to throw some ancho powder in there, but that would have blown my mind if it worked. i wouldn't have been able to handle it.

and remember, with powdered chiles (paprika, ancho, etc.), LESS is more. you don't want to get your heat from the powdered chiles - just the smoky sweetness of the peppers. get your heat from fresh and roasted peppers or hot sauces.

Hell yeah Big Ant, but I'll mix grits with my egg whites and cheese, Ronnie style. Who says a big Italian from Jersey can't eat grits?

And amen on the diet soda/crystal light... I wouldn't get half of my meals down without these heavenly liquids. Peace, G

I simply marinade my chicken in soy sauce, lemon juice and hot sauce, then throw it on the grill.

I also make some BBQ sauce out of tomato paste, worcestershire, hickory smoke and chipotles in adobo. Good stuff.

If you guys really want to add flavor to your chicken.. soak it in a brine over night.. a brine is a combination of 1/4 of sea/kosher salt.. 1/4 of brown sugar or honey, molasses, honey.. any of those don't use white sugar. 1/2 of an onion. and 1 jalapeno thinly sliced. and an onion. add ingredients on a bowl large enough for your chicken breast.. I do about 4-6 at a time. and I have some for later. take 1 cup of HOT water to desolve the mixture once desloved.. add 2-3 more cups of cold water place the meat in the container and cover I let it sit over night and sometimes 48 hours.. to give it that extra zip.. I put a little tony chachere's on mine.great flavor.. I grill ALL the time. even in the winter when it's 20 degrees outside.. food just taste better when cooked on the grill.
