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?

Jacket potatoes, wheetabix? Trump wants to change the name of the language to "american" instead of "english". Yiu guys hear that new one? The deviled egg potato salad sounds good though. I can eat sweet potatoes all day though.
Aahhh well… I forgot about sweet tatties! They’re fitting into 2nd place only because they aren’t an instant munch
I mean the gulf of “America”
English to American it doesn’t really affect anyone unless their whole identity is ‘Murica fuck yeah!
Ngl florida is pretty fuck yeah to me.
we went every year as kids from 14 year old 9 times then got to return in 2018 for the 10th with my wife.
2 years to go and we’re coming back with our wee boys as well.
Easily put on 14 pounds in a week out there never mind the second week
Over night oats made with kodiak protein oats and muscle milk strawberries and cream protein powder whole milk, and a half a cup of fresh blueberries.
Cream of rice with 55g peanut butter. Makes my muscle fulllllll
Oatmeal with blueberries from thrive or caramel Quaker rice cakes
@randomdude and @Milfpounder told me it was cum?
I stick my dick thru the rice cakes and he eats em off. It's like the onion ring tower are red robin, but with dick and oats.
Nom nom nom nom
Apples are my all time favorite. I love em! Gainer shakes with peanut butter, honey and a banana....slammin! Cooked rice thrown in a wok with eggs, steak, chicken and a dash of soy sauce....all fuckin day! Oh....and any kinda potato you put in front of me!
Sweet potato and brown rice
Rice is definitely my favorite, my girl makes some amazing lemon rice that I can’t get enough of.
Second would be potatoes, too many ways to cook them and they’re all great. Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew!
Nice lotr reference
Thanks bro
Jasmine rice is generally my go to. I have been throwing a basic carrot and sweet potato mash in my blender with egg whites lately.
I love Oat, rice, pasta, potatoes. I prefer the air frier cooking for chicken, it'll be very good cruchy. Oat whit white eggs or protein powder, rice with chicken or beef, pasta with beef and potatoes whit meet or fish.
Couscous, Very flexible. It’s ready in 3 minutes, and depending on whether you’re bulking or cutting, you can add more or less water so you feel more or less full. It also has a low glycemic index.
Tried it but could never get into it. Mostly a texture thing I think.
I’m going to be honest here. I have a little debbie cake of some sort about once a week. That’s my favorite. I’ve lost ~65 pounds in the last 18 months, went from a fatty to a slightly less fatty, and every once in awhile I have to feed that sweet tooth. Is it trash? 100%. I’m a 46 year old single dad of 2 teenagers, sometimes I need that Lil Deb, I’m convinced it keeps me from taking up smoking again.
My daily “healthy” carb is potatoes. I like golds or sweet but if someone else is making them I’m non-discriminatory
Brother, honestly… after losing 65lbs and changing your life around, you absolutely earned your Little Debbie moment
And what you said is actually the important part:
your daily habits are potatoes, structured eating, consistency, better choices overall.
That’s what creates the outcome long term.
People get too obsessed with the occasional cheat meal and ignore the fact that it’s the repeated habits that shape the physique and health … not one damn snack cake once a week
You were consistent with habits that made you overweight before, then became consistent with habits that improved your physique and quality of life. That’s the real difference.
And honestly, I’d much rather see someone strategically enjoy a planned treat once in awhile than eventually snap and lose control completely.
Plus… sometimes mental sanity and serotonin matter too LMAO
Jrihard89Preach! Mental health matters!
My only gripe is screw the cakes! These are the real Goat!!!
That was not a nutty buddy exclusionary post. Peanut butter is one of my favorite things. I add pbfit to anything I can
Now I see where the forum post was inspired haha
100%. Cheat meals are essential for me. If I go too hard and get repetitive I’m way more likely to break. Like wake up at 3am and raid the fridge type cravings lol. With something that I truly truly enjoy and don’t have to weigh precisely one a week or so it helps keep my sanity. I normally time this around social events and such so I can enjoy with the crowd. Though I am guilty of trying to make even my cheat meals fit in my macros for the day.
Mental health and physical health go hand and hand imo. My worst period of depression was also the worst shape I’d ever been in.
Sometimes the weekends end up being a shit show for me man. Esp Sundays. You're not the only one...
In any event, no matter how clean I eat, surplus, deficit, whatever - I ALWAYS wake up feeling great about myself and go to bed feeling like a piece of shit. Ive heard a lot of other guys say the same thing as well.
I agree with that sentiment, by the end of the day I’ve had enough of my own bullshit, but I wake up feeling good. I live in an entertainment district, there are 2 concert venues and 3 breweries along with a ton of other shit within walking distance. If one of the buddies wants a beer on a Saturday I’ll go and drink 4 with him, I’m no bitch, I’m not competing with anyone but myself, but answering to myself can suck
White rice sweet potato’s (Japanese and purple) cream of rice pre or post workout with some fruits on top like berries banana or some juicy medjool dates and of course my all time favorite local raw honey
Protein powder mixed with egg whites French toast on some sourdough with sugarfree syrup
Air-fried potatoes with some seasoning and 5% beef mince with chilli sauce is my staple meal, every post workout.
Damn looks good, goin have to make this tomorrow chilli con carne and chips, i like 20% fat mince tho, the fat is were the flavour is
you are not wrong, as a bodybuilder I can only afford so much flavour however.
Yea you be on a strict diet, even so that pic the food looks good, will what il have tomorrow now :-)
Looks delicious, brother
Are those fries homemade or from one of those pre-cooked bags from the grocery store?
I got a chopper from Amazon and just use 350g potato each day on my current cut. I sit them in cold water once cut for 20 mins then dry them with a towel before adding spray olive oil and seasonings then throwing in the air fryer. Come to think of it, my diet doesn't consist of much processed food:
350g potato
250g 5% mince
150g chicken breast
7 rice cakes
spicy chilli con carne sauce with kidney beans
2 scoops whey
300g skyr yogurt
100g cottage cheese
100g frozen blueberries
50g oats
3 eggs
I eat those foods every training day and cut carbs right down of off days. Lost 55lbs since starting my cut in October on basically 125mg test and .5mg reta up until starting a mini blast of 300mg test p and 50mg anavar near the end of March. I need to drop another 20lbs so adding Masteron in on Monday and dropping the var. Recently started Cardarine at 20mg and Proviron at 50mg too.
I dunno if you’ve ever tried it, but throw the potatoes in a rolling boil to parboil them before baking/frying.
You have the be careful as the outer layer will be super soft, but this creates an ultra crunchy outer layer and keeps the inside fluffy. Sometimes I want a more uniform texture, but for wedges and diced I use this method quite a bit!
ooh I will give it a try, thanks for the suggestion.
I eat this same thing.... Alot..
Potatoes, sweet potatoes..... chewy sweet tarts.
For fast carbs and protien i make egg friyed rice micowave uncle benns rice then put in frying pan and crack 8n 5 eggs and mixed it all around until the eggs have scrambled fast and easy
I stick with the basics
Rice
White Potatos
Sweet Potatos
Veggies
Sometimes Pasta but I don' t eat alot. Feel liek Pasta is a trash carb unless Im going to run a marathon.
Yakimo! Japanese sweet potato, or Okinawan sweet potato. Slow roasted 260° for 4 hours. Super sweet and delicious
Bro yes! Japanese sweet potato with almond butter has been my go to recently… don’t knock it till you try it
Finally, someone who knows ball. I do it with homemade walnut butter, and drizzle honey over it with a pinch of sea salt. It's more addicting than a candy bar lol
Sounds amazing. Healthy version of a Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole.
And people saying dieting is hard…
My easiest diet ever was all because of sweet potatoes. Zero cravings for random junk, but was always craving chicken and sweet potatoes. Hell I still crave them post diet
unseen423Love Japanese sweet potatoes...will have to try the slow roast method.
Dude, it's such a game changer. For the larger ones I'll do 260° for four hours in the air fryer so for the conventional oven it's going to be closer to 275 or 300°
unseen423Thanks bro!! Gonna hit Whole Foods today and pick some up
Do it! I buy a 40lb box at a time from H mart lol. But give yourself plenty of extra time to cook the sweet potato, if you see the skin browning cover it with foil and turn the oven down to the lowest temp
Pasta with red sauce.
No recipe.
No thinking outside the box.
Just pasta baby.
Lentil soup, very good nutrition profile.
