Just finished in the kitchen … this week’s fare
Just the got meals together for the coming week. Trying something new this week: Lentils. Package says they have 10 grams of protein per serving … NICE! Made 6 containers each of everything on the list below. Everything fits into a 2 1/2 cup Ziplock.
- One Cup of nonfat Yogurt with scoop of protein powder, scoop of uncooked oatmeal and mixed fruit mixed in [post workout meal] - frozen.
- Heaping cup of egg whites [left a few yokes in there] with Sun Dried Tomatoes stirred in, hot sauce and Ketchup for seasoning.
- 2/3 Cup of Lentils with Chicken Portion - Thai Peanut Sauce to taste.
- 2/3 Cup Brown Rice with Chicken Portion - Jalapeño Salad Dressing [for flavor]
- Purple Cabbage chopped with a can of White Albacore over it - Vinegarette Salad Dressing to taste.
- Ground Beef: Salsa and Brown Rice mixed in - one portion is about a cup and a half
In my previous posts I have talked about my evening meal: Half Cup of Cottage Cheese and Half Cup of Goat Milk Yogurt with 1/4 cup of raw Almonds; scoop of protein powder mixed in and in the early morning before the workout I have a cup of yogurt with protein powder and a scoop of raw oatmeal mixed in. In addition to the above, if the spouse is fixing a protein of some sort for the kids, I’ll generally snag some of it for my containers and have that for an additional meal. It might be chili, turkey or fish of some sort. So that makes 8 to 9 meals a day.
Tip on cooking eggs in mass: Don’t do it on the stove top! Pour the eggs into a cast iron pan and throw them in the oven at 350 for about 30-40 minutes. Let the pan cool after you pull it out of the oven. When I make the egg meals there are roughly about 6 cups of egg whites and some yokes that I make all at once. About a cup of Sun dried tomatoes is stirred in before it is cooked. Baking it instead of doing it on the stove top was way easier as far as clean up.
The experiment in muscle gain continues … The battle is won in the kitchen!

Sounds like a delicious nutritious menu. I like alot of spice and different flavors in my foods myself!

That is an awesome menu. I’m sitting here thinking that I need to go to the grocery store NOW!
I have five EMPTY Ziplock containers staring at me at the moment. They’re mocking me.
Anyway, thanks for encouragement by Blog, PulgasStrongMan.
