Chicken and pork are easy for me to get down, a little hotsauce and I'm set. Same with eggs. Oatmeal...splenda does the trick.

The one I have the hardest time with is tuna and brown rice. But I've been mixing about 300cal worth rice (forget how many cups :p) and a 7oz packet of tuna and dashing on some Tony Sacharies Creole Seasoning. Try it, shit is delicious. Makes eating tuna actually something I look forward to.

What I am doing now since I am 12 weeks out from my show and my salt intake is still high, I'm taking either chicken or beef depending on what meal it is and I'm cooking it with soy and worchestershire sauce and onions. It adds a lot of flavor and makes it so even if i wasnt dieting I would still like to eat it. I'm cooking the chicken with broccoli and the beef with green peppers and it tastes great.

For oats I'm just adding equal and cinnamon and some water and eating them raw like a bowl of cereal. For 2 of my meals I have protein powder and oats so all I'm doing there is putting the pro powder in the oats with some cinnamon and a little water to make it cake together and eating it raw. I use vanilla powder so it takes on the cinnamon flavor and it is pretty good.

My Best Roasted Chicken Recipie

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can try this...comes out perfect every time and its fast and easy enough for you busy bodybuilders!

Large roasting chicken (oven at 400 degrees)
stuff cavity with lemon slices, whole garlic (with skin), small onion cut in half (with skin), fresh rosemary, thyme or sage (or all three), and stuff inside and under skin. You can chop an apple in half too and put it inside if you like.

You can either take a small amount of canola oil and rub in your hands (like a tsp or less) and rub all over outside of chicken or spray pam in your hands and rub all over outside of chicken. Season with salt and pepper, place in a roasting pan with high edges.

Take a can of fat free/low sodium chicken broth and pour half can in bottom of pan. Put chicken in oven and roast at 400 degrees for 20 minutes than turn down heat to 350 and roast an hour more for a large chicken. You may need to add more chicken broth in pan..so do so..you can add some white wine too.

Cut into thigh to make sure your done otherwise put in oven for another 10 or so minutes...there is your dinner! Moist and delicious every time! I promise!

Peanut butter and honey in your oats will make them not only taste better but they will stick with you alot longer.

I might have to try that PB one, I have been using the recs here with the protein shake, and have been pleased thus far.

Also, for chicken, if you have a foreman grill it is real simple to make a solid meal where the chicken actually tastes good.
get some low sugar bbq sauce, mix a sizeable amount in a bowl with salt, pepper, and a little mustard. make it a paste. Put it in a ziploc bag with the chicken over night to marinate. The chicken will soak it all in. Either use a foreman or a regular propane grill the next day and off you go. A nice tnagy taste and good for you too

Here is an easy one, that tastes damn good...

Bag of minute rice
12 oz. of cooked, diced chicken breast
1 can Fat Free Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can Fat Free Cream of Chicken soup

Mix in a pot and cook slowly on the range or bake in a casserole dish... Lots of carbs, kcals and protein in a tasty slop. Season with cayenne if you like it spicy. Peace, G

The Peanut butter gives a little more protien but I also have read that two tablespoons of honey has more energy in it than a Redbull.

My wife will sometimes make this appetizer like meal before I eat my chicken and brown rice.

You will need the following:
1 Tomato
Feta Cheese
Baslamic Vinegar
Sweet Basil, or Basil

Take the tomato and slice it into thin strips. Arrange them seperately onto the plate and put about a capful of Basalmic Vinegar on each individual slice (Alot of it ends up draining off) Sprinkle each slice with a healthy dose of Basil now. After this - add a couple crumples of feta cheese to each slice. Enjoy.

I've eaten this cutting and bulking. Fantastic appetizer like thing.

[jatta palu]

2 cups non fat plain yogurt
sliced strawberries ( i buy the frozen sliced ones without sugar)
handful of blueberries
top with granola

quick to make, good, fast. you can do a tradeoff with the fruit (like strawberries and bananas)

[dmnspdg]

tried a unique on last night,

Can of Albacore tuna
6 egg whites
Taco seasoning pack
1 roasted red pepper

basicly, chopped up the pepper, mixed it with the tuna, egg whites, and taco seasoning. Put the mixture in a skillet with olive oil, and cooked until the eggs were cooked. Place over a bed of Romaine, douse with Frank's and dig in

it actually tased good!

hey guys, new here and thought i would drop this one for those who are tired of eating egg whites and tired of eating oatmeal plain. depending on how you dress it up you can use it for dieting or bulking.

1 cup egg whites
1 cup quaker oats
tbsp splenda
dash of cinnamon

mix it up and let it sit in the fridge for about 20 minutes so it can thicken up. Pour into a frying pan, of course using pam. Add a 1/2 cup of blueberries, mixed berries and cook like a pancake. You can eat it plain or add the no sugar syrup.
I live off these things.

Dude, This thread makes me think ANIMALPAK.COM should come out with a new product: the ANIMAL cookbook. How sweet would that be? A chapter for carbs, one for protein, one for cutting and one for bulking. I think anyone serious into the diet would love that. Anyway, here's my dessert addiition.

Oatmeal protein cookies

1 1/2 cups oatmeal
some splenda
4 scoops of muscle milk, any flavor(they all rock)
1/4 cup raisins or other dried fruit
1/4 cup milk

Mix all that good stuff together, if it looks to thick and won't mix add some more milk. Set your oven to 350 degrees, plop some tablespoons on a cookie sheet and cook around 10 mins or until they look done. Sometimes they come out dry, I'm still experimenting with the recipe. I basically took it out of the lid on a quaker oatmeal container, replaced the flour with muscle milk, and made a few alterations. Give it a try if you're bulking everyone loves cookies, and cookies with GOOD carbs and delicious protein can't fail.

I'm still hooked on House's oatmeal cookies...1 cup oats, 1/2cup water, 6-8 splenda packets...mix together and put into the microwave for 3 1/2-4min...so quick and easy to add to eggs for breakfast in the morning

[Beast1]

The Start:
Add a teaspoon of butter spread to a non-stick pan
Saute 1/2 cup green onions cut into strips
1/2 cup chopped onions
4-6 ounces of turkey chopped,
Then add 1 cup of egg whites and two wholes eggs. Remove the peppers, onions, and turkey from the pan. Add a teaspoon of butter spread the eggs whipped into the pan. After the bottom gets done flip over the omelet and add a 1/4 cup of low-fat cheese to one side of the omelet and the green peppers, onions, and turkey to the other side, fold the omelet in half cook evenly on each side and your done.

hmm, I haven't tried it like that yet. What do you mix it in a bowl so its like one big cookie or drop it out on a paper towel?

yeah, I mix it in a really tough microwavable container but, I don't have a lid on it...and yeah it makes one big cookie and I just eat it out of the container
