everyone knows the importance of eating clean,high protein diets
for maximising musclegain,but eating like this can get boring eg (tuna and rice 6 times a day)

has anyone got any good recipes?

heres 1 of myne

protein cakes(they dont taste that bad lol)

mix porridge oats with skimmed mik and protein powder in a bowl.

put in the microwave for about 4 mins on med/high

it should seem like quite a sticky dough.

get out your cake tray

make sure you grease it(olive oil)

cook in preheated oven for about 15 mins

and voila protein cakes :P

i use chocolate protein powder for myne,

they can come quite handy when your on the go.

anyone else got any good ones

post them here

Hey bud, keep up the good work on the site.

Hmmm recipes...well I have one or two I know of and thats Italian Steak and pasta.

I know pasta tends to retain water, but you can do this with Rice if you want to. I prefer about 75g of brown pasta.

Basically you need a small piece of steak and dice it into nice chunky pieces. Pepper it, add some onions and garlics, and then leave it in a bowl for a good halfhour covered.

15 minutes later start the pasta. During that cooking time you will need a tine of chopped tomatoes and some nice herbs (Coriander, etc...) Bang the herbs into the tomotoes and the stir fry the steak with water to aist the pan rather than oil.

When its done to the right cooking level (Rare, Medium, Welldone, etc...) Add the tomatoes.

Rinse out the pasta, and then add the now tomatoe steak to it, bring to the boil with the pan covered, and let that boil for about 5 minutes to warm things through.

Basically you have got the carbs from the pasta and plenty of protein from the steak, and it doesn't taste that bad!!

Bon apetite!

Your welcome bud, let me know what you think of my culinary skills, the lads at uni dont complain, but they tend to eat things that have fallen on the carpet...anyway.

My favorite dish when Im dieting is Cod sandwich.

Basically, 1/2 nice pieces of cod fish (fresh or frozen), 2 eggs, 2 pieces of brown bread, mixed herbs, and cottage cheese or low fat mayo/salad cream.

I prefer the bread toasted, lay one piece on your plate and put the cottage cheese or mayo/cream on top to start with. Fry the eggs with a small amount of oil and when done, lay 1 egg on the cottage cheese.

Steam the cod (or grill whatever is easiest) and when done lay it on top of the egg. Lay the other egg on top of the fish, and then sprinkle the herbs on, and finally that 2nd piece of toast can now go on top!

This is a great meal if you are dieting as it helps in terms of calorie control with the high protein, low fats, and little carbs. I eat this a good 3 times a week when I diet and I dont feel like Im about to collapse by the end of day feeling as if Ive eaten nothing!

Hope this one wets the old appetite!

Enjoy

Thought you might like it dude, you can ofcourse substitute the steak for chicken. Either is good.

I took great pleasure in cooking thai food tonight for the lads and they immediately decided it would be fun to see who could paint the wall wih the sticky rice!!

One beer ad this is what they do!

Anyone else got some decent recipes?

Tuna Smoothie

I've had these in my diet for the past couple of months and what a diff its made.
if you've never tried them before, let me say 'Its not as gross as it sounds'
I dont like tuna, so if I can drink them without yakking they cant be too bad LOL.

2 185g tins of tuna
2 muller lights
1 scoop of protein ( I use enough powder to yield 20 grams of protein)

rinse the tuna for a minute (or 2)
then give the lot a good good blending

I'm cutting at the Mo' so this is used as two servings.
each serving is 40grm protein / 17 grm Carbs (depending on ur protein powder)

honest folks, you wont taste the tuna

bungee what flavour mullerlights do u use,and what flavour protein powder.i reckon u must have tried different flavours etc

Liquidised tuna!! Interesting...

I know for a high carb breakfast, one of the guys at the gym has:

50grams of oats
1pint semi-skimmed milk
2 Bananas
2 scoops of protein shake

Blend them together and there is 2 meals as easy as that. Dont think I could eat that since Im cutting at the moment.

The tuna smoothie doesnt sound that bad to be honest!

LOL! the thought of spewing is natural! I was exactly the same

I've tried strawberry mullers with strawberry protein, I also added 2 bananas to this coz it was the first time I tried it and wasnt 100% sure the tuna taste would be masked. this was fine it was a mild strawbwerry taste with the 'zing' of the yogurt.
Now Ive ditched the bananas as I'm using chocolate protein which seems to be a stronger flavour, and toffee mullers. I used to use chocolate mullars but cant seem to get the fookers now
TBH the flavour of the yogurt doesnt seen to come through it just seems to take away the flavour of the tuna, but I still try to match the flavour of the protein with the same flavoured yogurt
