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?

Potatoes, rice (so much rice LOL) and sourdough. But I also eat a shit ton of noodles (Asian wife), man am I lucky she loves to cook for me. Everything is clean, but so much variety of flavor.
Also been on a rice cake kick lately post workout, the chocolate ones from Quaker. Couple of em after my post wo meal. Might even keep these in next cut, low calorie way to kill the sweet tooth.
White cheddar rice cakes for me.. this sounds weird, but sometimes I’ll put almond butter on top of the white cheddar rice cakes … so good
Have to go quacker, some generic versions taste like stale cardboard ie) Hyvee version
White cheddar with almond butter smacks!
Bodybuilders often talk about the "meat & potatoes" excercises like SQuats & Bench.
Strange not enough Bodybuilders dont actually consume potatoes. Nutrient for nutrient potatoes demolish Rice, oats, breads, & pastas.
Also please take into consideration that ALL American commercial factory farms produced wheat and oats that are not specifically labeled organic are ALL sprayed with dangerous cancer causing poison glyphosate
right before harvest.
So when you enjoy your morning oatmeal you are essentially consuming a giant hot bowl of poison.
Potatoes are easy to grow and easier to prepare and are not covered with poison. Makes the choice real simple.
Then American companies cover those grains in sugar and sell it to families. Kids eat that shit (poisoned grains covered in sugar) before they start their day at school.. then people complain that they can’t concentrate….so what do we do?? Prescribe them a meth derivative hahahahah
Then the school feeds them more poisoned shit in the cafeteria
Yes sir. You know the drill. Cover them fresh glyphosate grains with some high fructose corn syrup peoduct & sprinkle is some petroleum derived Blue #1 & have yourself a nice America breakfast.
Dont forget to wash it down with a Mountain dew & a handful of Ritalin
All time favorite but not the healthiest.. sour dough bread
My go to for health is sweet potoes, brown rice, and granola in Greek yogurt
Sourdough is just fine as long as you make your own. Or buy it from the little old lady down the road whos been making it the same way for 50 years LOL
Not when you eat a 1/4 of the loaf hahahhaha
That was my dinner tonight. Probably too much sourdough AND a sweet potato AND butter.. I’ll go light on carbs tommorow. And I skipped lunch
Elev8 cream of rice pwo has been a game changer
Jrihard89Gold potatoes and just air fried or baked. It’s just fucking so good. When I’m cutting it’s just potatoes and rice.
Pasta is always good and my fav carb in growth phase. Also Thomas bagels during growth.
I’m a suckaaaa for a everything bagel with some cream cheese
Bagels n coffee man... Salivating
Whathappened2018Love cream of rice Potatoes and sourdough bread.
I’ve been on my gnocchi and pasta fix recently. A little pesto and some grilled chicken on top and I could eat that for a year.
Gnocchi… I forgot that existed… so fucking good
Never go wrong with potatoes.....just mix with eggs/chorizo
Mine are probably plain white rice and boiled yellow potatoes…
If we’re talking more “processed” carb sources, I’d say bagels/dough-type foods for sure.
I’m kind of old-school with nutrition honestly:
high protein
moderate/high carb depending on the phase
lower fat
Usually I keep fats mostly from the food sources themselves and rarely go out of my way to add extra oils/fats intentionally. Most of the time my fats sit around 10% of total calories.
Of course there’s a million ways to approach nutrition and no single “perfect” setup… I just personally don’t seem to perform or digest as well on higher fat diets.
BTW … On free meals/refeeds/cheat meals though… I absolutely allow myself to enjoy and try foods completely outside my normal routine LMAO just with a little common sense involved.
Exactly the same here man. That old school way has always worked for me when I dial it in, so I’ve never felt the need to change it long term. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”!
White or sweet potatoes tossed in olive oil and coated in garlic powder, salt , pepper and onion powder, baked at 380 for 20 mins and then air fried until crispy on the outside. I usually have that with taco beef 1 cup potatoes to 5oz beef.
unseen423Ok @Milfpounder you guys all fucked with my emotions too much!! Had to try out some of the ideas thrown out in this thread!!
Followed Milf’s instructions but added some taco seasoning à la @smurfdude1234567
Can’t wait to dig into these tonight with some 96/4 beef! Big refees after chest and delts today!!
Lol I like how yours turned out better looking than mine... Hell yes.
Lemme know how they are mane!
unseen423Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. Absolutely delicious. Leftovers going in with my eggs tomorrow morning!
Easy and satisfying! Used all my thumbs, but I’d demolish those any day.
That sounds delicious and easy! Will have to try that. Thanks for the cooking lessons Milfy!
Anytime man, any time.
Speaking my language. So easy and always tasty.
I’m old school. High protein, mid-high carbs, and low fat. That’s my diet most of the time.
I measure or weight literally everything and prep everything to a T and my entire weeks worth of macros is planned.
Actually ending a cut at the end of this week and gonna be adding in cals towards maintenance so will be eating more potatoes and I'm not sad about it lol
Dead ass, Lundberg lightly salted organic brown rice cakes. Easy, stable, pretty tasty. 3 pre workout with PB and honey, 3 post workout with 60g of whey.
I like the cinnamon ones. You saying u put honey has me thinking of trying something crazy tomorrow might be good. Cinnamon rice cake with pb and cayenne pepper infused honey. Thanks for the inspiration
Man I tried rice cakes for a while but never really enjoyed them. That doesn’t sound too bad though!
Boiled sweet potatoes (because I find it much quicker/easier than baking them and it results in a slightly lower GI) with white rice. It's a nice sweet/salty combo if you like sweet rice. Been using it with some chicken breast as my preworkout meal on high carb days for the past few months and I still haven't grown tired of it.
Sweet potatoes are slept on by many! I prefer white, but sweet have great macros and can taste just as good or better depending on preparation! Sounds like a solid meal.
I absolutely love them. They keep my inner fat kid at bay lol. Only problem I have is finding enough. During the off season I eat about 9 pounds of them a week.
unseen423Also those potatoes look fucking delicious lol
Man I love it as an easy answer. Some pink salt, pepper and low sodium/zero calorie taco seasoning is all they need. This was mid cook I like them browned/crunchy on the outside but soft inside.
unseen423I’m a big cream of rice guy… all these flavors and brands now to choose from. Very versatile carb source, I do a lot of baking/waffle making/muffins with it in addition to the standard hot bowl with the whey drip and fruit or nuts. Eating a bowl of Reese’s PB cup cream of rice as I type this!
That Goob collab is fucking amazing
unseen423I bought 4 bags to start! The crackberry with frozen blueberries on top and a good vanilla whey is also top notch!
Sounds amazing! I never got super into cream of rice but I could see that working great! I do similar with oatmeal/oats pretty often. Mixing in protein powders, fruits, yogurts, PB powder, etc.
Great example of something that can be a savory lunch side or a post dinner sweet dessert!
