I know that Healthy Living has a recipe thread, but the needs/goals of the people who frequent this forum should lend up some good reading.

If you want to classify your meal as leaning towards either a cutting diet or bulking diet that would be cool. If its neither, then its neither.

I'll start off.

I've forgotten the measurements, but I just eyeball it anyways...

Oatmeal pancakes

Take some oatmeal (you could use a cup or so, it depends on how many of pancakes you want to make) and throw it in the blender along with 2 or 3 eggs (you can buy that egg white mixture and use it). Then add 2 or three spoon fulls of cottage cheese (fat free if you're cutting). A tiny bit of vanilla and cinnamon if you want. Blend it all up until it resembles pancake batter. Cook it just as you would a pancake, then add some sugar free syrup....Nom

Add peanut butter, blueberries, strawberries...see what you can come up with.
 
I got this recipe from another bluelighter.. Replace the rice with Kidney Beans and you get a great, tasty bodybuilding meal! I like saving up the salsa and eating it 2-3 times a day.. then the other meals will typically be 2 x protein shake and 1 x no fat cottage cheese.

______________


mango salsa

1 mango diced
1/4 red pepper diced
1/2 jalapeno diced
1/4 red onion diced
1/2 cup cilantro chopped
juice of one lime
salt and pepper

let the salsa hang out and get delicious while you get your rice and fish together.

i just prepared some plain basmati, and for the fish, i had two tilapia fillets, which i patted dry, and then covered in a kind of cajun seasoning.

for the fish, heat oil in a pan, and when hot, add fish and let sear for about three minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillet. you can finish it an a hot oven if you think it needs a bit more time.

rice goes on plate, fish goes on rice, and salsa goes on fish- voila!
 
can of white kidney beans ( Cannellini)
toast some chopped walnuts while the beans heat in a sauce pan
spice to taste (onion powder, garlic...etc)
put the toasted chopped walnuts in with the beans and let them get to know each other
pour into a bowl, add fresh salsa if you'd like.

Going to try this soon.

Doesntmatter - all your recipes sound great. Seems like you love kidney beans!

Deadwood rules by the way. Great series... wish it would have lasted longer, HBO sure fucked that up.

Its hard to beat white kidney beans as far as I'm concerned.

I only caught the beginning of deadwood, but it was indeed a good show.

My avatar is, however, Doc Holiday from Tombstone. One of my all time favorite movies : )

-------

Tilapia -

3/4 cup EVOO (any oil you enjoy: safflower, coconut....etc)
dash of white wine
dash of lemon juice (approx a third of the amount of oil)
parsley
oregano
minced garlic
chives (any spices/herbs you like)

pour that over the fillet and let it marinate for 30-45 minutes.

Throw some walnuts and thyme in a food processor.

Coat the outside of the fillet as you would a breading. (drain the marinate, I may try patting dry next time) I used too much of the marinate in the pan last time, so just at a tad and reapply when time to flip.

I cook this stove top, although I'm going to try broiling next time for fun. I didn't turn the heat up in the pan enough the first go round, so it didn't sear and crisp like I wanted it to. Still workin on it.

I threw some yellow squash, roma tomatoes, chili beans (would have done white kidneys but I didn't have any ; ), and mushrooms in a pan and threw em on the stove top. Once they warmed up a bit I covered them and just let them go at it.

Mashed garlic sweet potatoes. Pretty self explanatory. I chopped up a couple sweet potatoes and boiled em. When they're soft (you can poke a knife easily into them) turn the heat off and drain. Smash em, and season. I use fat free milk, cinnamon, and this time I put some garlic and nustivia (sp? sweetener) in them. I'd leave out the sweetener next time.

once again, nom.

Whoops my bad. I too love Tombstone. The lead characters look really similar.

Right now I am eating a Bison burger. Pretty damn good. Have some aspargus, fries and a salad.

I've already eaten like 4 meals today. I am on day 2 of no nicotine and my appetite is raging.
 
Best For Mass/Bulk.....i know summer is comming but TREN is the nector of the gods and for some reason loves this combo!!!

2 Berry Flavored Yogurts
1/2 Cup Granola (Oats and Honey"
2 Sccops Vanilla Whey/Casien
Squirt of Honey
Top with Whipped Cream

You can Blend this or mix witha spoon in a cup and take it to work as a breakfast or snack, or a pre gym meal. Easy on the stomache, and has a variety of Protein, carbs, Fats, etc.
 
If anyone has any easily portable snacks/meals that don't need to be kept cold I'd appreciate the ideas. I have two days a week that I'm stuck in class for 3 hours and its right at dinner time.

Im cutting btw.
 
This is just a simple recipe that makes that boring ass chicken and rice a little bit better.

Chicken Curry
1 TBSP butter
1 crushed clove garlic
8 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
3/4 cup rice
2 TBSP curry powder
1/4 cup skim milk

Simmer garlic in butter
Throw in chicken breast cut up into chunks, let it cook through
add milk/curry powder/skim milk, let simmer for a few minutes
throw in the rice

stir it up and serve

About 800 cals give or take.
 
Beef/bean chilli

lots of dried beans (black, pinto, kidney, soy)
lots of beef mince (or cheap steak)- usually 2lbs or so.
couple of cans of tomatos (and some tomato puree)
3 cloves garlic
2/3 onions
30g dark chocolate
beef stockcube
3 chillis (adjust for level of heat required)
5 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried corriander
3 teaspoons Paprika (or 1 of smoked paprika)
1 teaspoon chilli powder
butter
sugar
couple of Chipotles in chilli sauce (optional)
Chorizo (optional)

first soak the beans overnight, then boil for 2 hours scraping off the starchy foam.

fry the onions in butter with a couple of teaspoons of sugar
add the spices
add the beef and brown it
add the chorizo (if using)
add the tomatos and 2 of the fresh chillis
add the chocolate and stockcube (don't make stock- just add the cube ingto the mixture)
add the chipotles (if using)
cook for 10 mins
add the beans
cook for as long as you can wait (2 hours is optimal but anywhere from 30-45 mins is ok)
add the other fresh chilli

Serve with sour cream, lettuce, tortillas (or tacos or nachos), cheese.

Eat until you can't stand up anymore.

(Yu can remove the beef and replace with turkey mince or nothing at all if your wanting a leaner chilli. You can also remove the butter and sugar but I wouldn't recomend it!)
