What’s your favorite source of carbs?
Now sometimes throwing shitty potatoes in the air fryer and nuking minute rice is all you can do, and it works! What is your favorite though?

Rice
Air fried potatoes or sweet potatoes
Cream of rice
Honey
Bananas
Blueberries
Sourdough bread
Rice cakes
For me, the standard sources of carbohydrates are:
Rice
Pasta
Potatoes
Oatmeal for breakfast every day
Before training: rice or bananas
After training: potatoes or rice + some fruit
These work best for me, but everyone is different, so different foods may work better for different people.
Sweet potatoes, cream of rice, oatmeal and rice!
nothing better than some cream of rice, cereal, rice cakes, and sweet potatoes!
marvilousI just boil up a few kgs of potatoes and eat them over a few days, they keep well and taste beautiful with some salt, parmigiano, and a little balsamic glaze.
Other than that it's honey, fruit or sweetened condensed milk. One scoop of this stuff gets you 40g carbs ;)
Real Maple syrup
Rice
Sweet potatoes
I just started sweet potatoes, absolutely hated them all my life, went back to give em another try 2 weeks ago and I can’t get enough of them, guess my taste buds changed. I have a new favorite source for carbs now.
@Jrihard89 @Pandateston @V0411
I made a mistake…. We thought half baked was the best??? I dunno…..
MILK AND COOKIES DUDE! I can’t believe this. I am a fat fuck and killed a pint last night. It’s all perfectly blended and smooth. Cookies taste better than the circle chunks.
Gimme s’more’s- Wifey’s new fav- good sized swirls of fudge cookie and graham crackers- not normal chunks easy to eat swirls like the milk and cookies. I enjoyed the bit I had.
Lastly: The Tonight Dough- it’s decent, but below half baked and the other two above. The best part is whatever chocolate cookie they use in this- large veins of crispy yet soft fudge cookie. The peanut butter cookie dough is decent. The ice cream itself is bland compared to others though.
Brother, you just sold me on it !
I’ll allow myself one pint on my next free meal/refeed this weekend.
Milk & Cookies keeps getting recommended by highly qualified fat fucks, so the science is looking pretty solid at this point.
Pretty sure I won’t regret it !
Jrihard89Panda has the drug knowledge and Smurf comes in with the B&J knowledge!!!
Brother, Smurf is a whole different animal…
The guy is a pharma/science/lab guy. His knowledge is absurdly broad and deep. I probably don’t know 1/4 of what he knows.
I’m just stubborn as hell and keep trying to learn little by little lmao.
Sooo… he’s also proven himself to be a certified Ben & Jerry’s expert and elite fat fuck, so when it comes to B&J flavors, you gotta respect the man’s credentials and take the advice lol.
Much too kind Brother. You’d be surprised how many guys who work in the field have little to no “street” knowledge in terms of this stuff. Theres a reason I compliment you so often! It’s truly impressive and beyond encouraging to see another guy that takes it so seriously. You truly treat yourself the best as we all should, and extend that even further by keeping up your mental workouts just as much as your physical ones.
1000% a fat fuck at heart. Honestly if you can’t down an entire pint in a sitting you’re a bitch LOL!
Haha I actually work in the pharmaceutical industry. Got fully licensed rather recently and it’s been the biggest blessing.
Admittedly I’m not nearly as nice as panda in terms of taking the time to write up for trolls & the willfully ignorant.
Depends on the type of carb im looking for and if I. Bulking or not lol, chocolate chip cookies are the shittt. Typically though some white jasmine rice with dill seed on top does the job, oatmeal for the mornings but might try grits. For ice cream though I get the halo brand usually unless I dont care then its Baskin Robbins lol
Hell yeah brother!! I still occasionally fit in everything bagels and English muffins in the mornings. Just too damn good with breakfast sandwiches. I love to take the rim of a mason jar to make perfect circle eggs like McDonald’s, piece of Canadian bacon on a toasted English muffin = egg McMuffin at home for Pennies on the dollar haha.
Lol down below we all had a little circle jerk about our love for Ben and Jerry’s. Inspired me to pick some up and found some majorrrr contenders lol. I’ll eat maybe a pint a month if that, but when I do it’s orgasmic.
I will say my body gets super upset with me when I break the cycle though. That pint had me hurting and feeling abnormal the next day.
I have a little circular thing specifically for eggs. Its getting warmer now so im getting ice cream once a week now lol just got back into rocky road but usually I do like vanilla bean or rainbow sherbet
White potatoes and rice pilaf
Then Grits and Oatmeal
Bananas, pineapple and apples
Those are all my go to's
Sweet potatoes and white rice for sure! I love sweet potatoes you can do so much with them. Savory, salty, sweet, so many different ways to cook them baked, air fried, bbq, etc. Definitely the easiest and quickest digesting carb for me.
Cream of rice / DATES / honey / rice cakes
Jasmin rice
As simple as that, brother!
If it’s good enough for Panda it’s good enough for me
sweet potatoes is by far my fav, gummi bears #2
Ok let’s start a fight. What is your preferred brand of gummi bear? I’m a weirdo Black Forest guy
Grossss those are terrible lol. They taste more like Welch's fruit snacks and the texture is horrible lol. I would pick Albanese before those lol but I'm a Haribo guy all the way. The twin snakes are my shiiiit too!
The twin snakes are awesome. Do you pull them apart or eat them together? The starmix is also great.
Yess! They just released the limited edition Tropical version and they are so good! And it depends I do both lol if I don't want to eat the whole bag in 5 mins I pull them apart but the sour sweet mix when you eat them together is soooo good.
I’ve actually never had any other haribo products except the gold bad of gummy bears. Used to be my quick almost intra carb choice of candy due to the macros and sugar content. May have to pick up a bag sometime. I love tropical stuff!
When starburst first made the pina colada flavor I loved them so much a family member gifted me a 10lb+ bag of them lol! Still have some in a huge glass jar.
See this is the pushback I expected. I know I’ma weirdo but I prefer the softer Black Forest. I’m either a toddler or an old man, maybe both
Hahaha fair enough! You like what you like!
Haribo…this is the way
B Lack forest doesn’t have dextrose in it ??
Haribo only
SOUR PATCH KIDS ROOOOCKKK!!!!
I didn't think sour candy was legal over there.
More Legal than your Virgin Asshole .....
Where's @RobertB80 lately?
Was wondering the same thing you dirty wanker. Where the fuck is ol Robert ..
Alright Milky you filthy slag? Took some time off to concentrate on wanking. My right arm is now double size of the left.
Walmart deviled egg potato salad
Best and most effective carb source for me has ALWAYS been a Jacket potato or 'White Baked Potato' for people who do not speak the Queens English LMAO So versatile and it goes with anything, all kinds of meats and concoctions. Can even have it just with Butter and Salt on. Chilli Con Carne, Chicken Tikka, Cheese & Beans, Tuna and Cheese the list is endless and what better effective muscle building nutrition??!!
Man I watch the Spudman from the UK and his jacket taters look fucking amazing. When I finally get to London I'm hitting Davidoff of London for cigars and to meet Eddie Sahakian and then directly to the Spudman lol.
Get a Bottle of Coolwater and a Jacket potato LOL
The profit that guy makes on each Spud is insane - one of the cheapest things none to man with a topping on. I bet he charges about £12 now?
I'm not sure he actually was the most fair priced I think the curry chicken one was the most expensive with crunchy onions and it was like 5-7 pounds the last time I watched his lives. And he gives away TONS of spuds for free all the time while he's live streaming. He's just all around such a good dude, and for the cars he's been dealt he has one hell of a positive outlook on everything in life. Now the Spud Bros I have heard their jacket taters are 10 pound or more even for a basic spud with chili con carne or Tuna etc. Lol
I’ve seen YouTube videos of a company called “spud bros” or something where they literally just serve jacket potatoes and have lines hundreds of people long! It’s insane. There isn’t anything like that in the U.S. you’ll occasionally find a “baked potato” as a side at a restaurant, but the only topping options are: shredded cheese, sour cream, butter, and bacon. None of that fancy stuff but they actually do look good!
Spud bros is another great one. I found Spudman first and his story hits close to home. He's in end stage kidney failure almost daily dialysis and still does the damn thing every day and takes care of his family and doesn't let a thing get him down. The dude is a great person. Check out his jacket potatoes too he's got some pretty incredible looking spuds.
Blimey I didn't realise he was that ill, tbh I've only seen a few youtube clips people have sent me so didn't know the full story. Is he on the transplant list I am assuming - is there any luck of finding a Donor at all?
Yeah I've seen them mate!!! They charge a FORTUNE too for a potato with a topping LOL
Most sandwich places sell them like that - we literally eat them as a main meal over here with a topping on.
Ohhh Yeah and then in terms of drinks DEXTROSE powder - Unbeatable for bulking and training energy.
My favorite carb source is 6 weetabix with 70g of Greek yoghurt 300ml of semi skimmed milk.
Roughly 100g of carbs, 30g of protein for reference.
Always start my morning wi this
weetabix? Is that an over the pond thing? I looked it up and have never seen it lol! I am imaging it to be like a healthier frosted mini wheats?
Maybe it’s a uk thing aye. It’s fantastic!
Cover the delivery and I’ll send ya a box of 36 for £3.63 from Tesco haha!
