muscle gaining bars - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

**big pete** · 01-05-2006, 06:39 PM

this is for Ellis, (and others of course,lol)

i myself have a low appetite, these bars i make every once and a while to give me a little boost. the way they are constructed is to provide the body with a good source of healthy fats(omega 3+6), sustained energy from a supergrain and very bio-available protein sources.

they are as follows, simplicity in there simplest form......

200g smooth peanut butter
200g ground almonds
200g porridge oats
200g whey (i choose choc)
100g honey
water for consistancy
bowl of chopped walnuts

combine p-nut butter+honey+ground almonds in a very large bowl and heat gently til the mix is liquid.

add in the oats first then add in the whey once the oats are fully mixed in

you may need to add in some drops of water to make the mix a little easier to knead.

once its all together, spread across a large surface. create a wiggly snake, and cut into 20 pieces.

each of the 20 pieces press into the bowl of chopped walnuts. to cover the surface.

refridgerate

each of the 20 pieces yeilds about 225cals, with a P/C/F split of 14/14/14

enjoy, pete

Are you not finding the equi helping out with your appetite bud?

**big pete** · 02-05-2006, 01:57 PM

starting too!! lol

its only been about 3-4weeks and its coming back now. the initial plunge was the orals, but the EQ is taking up speed now

**big pete** · 02-05-2006, 01:59 PM

sarah,

couldnt say you couldnt freeze em. Il be honest, i dont know how the whey copes with being froze. i know it doesnt like to be heated up, not sure about the other way round though, il check it out

Ive switched to equi - the deca was killing me - well a part of me :-).

Noticing some good hunger now, finally! Not sure if its the equi - but its a bit to much of a coincedence.

Those bars sound cool - gonna fix a batch up.
