is there any really simple and cheap meals that take very little preperation meals that have everything in (carbs, protein, fat, cals) so i can have the same thing six times a day???

PS i don't care how boring it is or how foul it tastes

leeston · 05-06-2007, 12:47 PM

i would not personally recommend eating the same meal six times a day. Apart from making sure you cover all angles with carbs, aminos, vitamins and fats it would be bl00dy boring!!! A sure fire way to start allowing bad foods to creep in!!

I keep my diet simple. Baked spuds, sweet pots, pasta, wraps, oats, beans (and other pulses) and rice for carbs.

Chicken, eggs and fish for protein. It probably takes me 30 mins to prepare three meals each night, if that.

Maybe not the best way to proceed but I use the microwave for a lot of my meals (ie cooking chicken, fish and eggs etc).

Also, which amazes all of my friends and family (as I am very anal like this) I will go to Costco once every 1 - 2 weeks and buy a sh1t load of chicken and fish. When at home I will cust the meat up and put it into bags weighing between 120 and 150g each. I put them in the freezer and when I need a protein source I just grab a bag, defrost it and cook it. Simple is as simple does. The missus was not happy to start with but the top draw of the freezer is 'my meat draw'!!!!! - it really p1sses me off when the in-laws come round for tea and four of the bags get used up, I am a miserable tight bugger like that. I think why do they need the protein!!!

At the moment I am sitting heare eating my 12.30 meal which today consists of a bowl of oats with chicken, peanut butter and an assortment of strange nuts, seeds and berries in it. Lovely.

what sources of protein/carbs etc. does not require cooking as some of the time i'm back out of the house as soon as i arrive

leeston · 05-06-2007, 01:01 PM

mmm good one, I will have to get my thinking cap on for that one. First thing that springs to mind is pre cooked meats from the supermarket but that will work out expensive.

Surely, you can spare 30 mins or so the evening before?

A big part of BB is nutrition and unless you get the diet right I would not bother training. I have got to the stage where I would rather miss a training day than a meal or two!!

Seriously mate, put more effor into the food preperation. I do not beleive this aspect can be overlooked or rushed.

LOL, thanks for all the advice, i'll take it on board

Craig660 · 05-06-2007, 01:06 PM

a simple meal which i have 3 times a day at work is, get a bowl of smash and wack some cut up bits of chicken in it, probably not the best for you, but at least im gettin my carbs and protein

If you want cheap and complete protein, eat eggs but I don't recommend you eat only eggs and nothing else.

Leeston, great idea about prepackaged meat for the week.

You can eat a handful of mixed nuts to stave off the hunger when you come home while you fix the meal.

You can precook your meat so all you have to do is warm it up for dinner.

cajun turkey burgers

500g turkey thigh mince
1 egg yoke
half a large red onion finley chopped
1 clove garlic
cajun spices

mix it all together and make into a burger. that should make about 4 burgers

chrisj22 · 06-06-2007, 11:16 AM

Leeston, I take it you eat the chicken seperately to the oats (please say you do!!!!)?

The Rave · 16-07-2007, 01:35 PM

I cook 2 chicken breasts or turkey steaks in the morning before work and have them for lunch with an uncle bens microwave rice. Quick and tasty

shorty · 16-07-2007, 03:25 PM

A good one that is easy and cheap and takes about 4mins to make is tuna, microwavable rice and sweet chilli sauce! (one of paul g's recipes)

buy a packet of microwave rice, microwave it for 3 mins....whilst thats going open the tin of tuna and mix with the sweet chilli sauce .... then add the rice!!

easy as that!!!

it tastes really good! and takes no time to make!

That is really pushing it, I would not call that "tasting good" by any stretch of the imagination. Edible sure, not good... not unless your entire food expereince can be put down to Frey Bentos and McD's.
