It was probably water weigjt and crap but I weighed the thighs at 27oz and after they were cooked its about 12oz.

...im counting the cooked product's macros. :lol:

6+oz of chicken at about 35g of protein and 250 cals sounds about right.

Im like 600 calories under my calorie goal and im already at 208g of protein for the day. Havent felt hungry all day either, dudes wasnt lying when they said gaining weight is harder than losing.
 
healthy spot near me makes some killer egyptian chicken dish that tastes amazing. they use thighs and it's great. making dinner right now using some chicken breast. flour, egg, panko and deep fry. throw that on some rice and japanese curry and we're all set. get tired of baked or grilled chicken sometimes.
 
my son and i demolished our food but here's a remnant from my wife's plate :lol: i take a pic of the egyptian chicken dish next time we eat at that restaurant. always get it with saffron rice and it's nice.

Looks like Chicken Katsu :smokin

My girl makes Onion breaded crumbs with slight hint of garlic powder or adobo powder!

CRACK!!!!
 
Yea the Onion crumbs are definitely addicting! They also sell like Italian Parmesan breaded crumbs at Walmart for like .50 cents a pack.
 
any suggestion on knee WRAPS and a non-inzer belt?

reasons being, my sbd knee sleeves keep getting frayed by the bar and i'm gonna buy a new pair, but also want something less likely to get that beat up.

also the inzer lever gets hit by the bar when doing cleans and snatches and i no likey.

any recommendation for either or both?



UPDAT: actually just pulled the trigger on the inzer xt knee sleeve/wrap. just what i was looking for and looks pretty convenient. so cool.

Anybody ever try intermittent fasting. Like eat 8 hours fast 16. I got some questions
Yea bro I was intermittent fasting a couple years back. It made cutting sooooo much easier. Didn't have to worry about food so much. Did 6 hours fasted for 18. But now if your bulking I highly don't recommend it! lol. Unless you don't need that much cals to bulk haha
 
Want to adopt a healthy diet for my cut and get off just restricting my calories with an unchanged diet eating the same BS.

But I've never learned how to cook

Most complicated thing ive done in the kitchen is boil hot dogs.

Don't even know where to begin

Feel like it's going to make much longer then it needs to be as is.

You warm-up before you get started?

I always start with a quick 3-minutes of stretching to limber up and then a mile run before I begin lifting.

usually just warm up with some cardio to get the blood flowing but no real stretching. First time thats ever happened to me but now that its happened im def gonna stretch a little before lifting

Try and do some dynamic warm ups better than static stretching. Also do some foam rolling to release some fascia out. You'll be more limber and loose and less injuries(unless form is messed up on the lifts lol)

The simplest way is to just get in the kitchen and practice. Feel like scrambled eggs but aren't sure how to do it exactly? Google it. Once you start practicing, it won't seem so daunting. 

A lot of helpful websites out there for skills, recipes, ideas, etc. I love SeriousEats.com, http://www.budgetbytes.com/ is another cool one, TheKitchn.com is also helpful.

http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/05/draftknife-skills-the-three-basic-knife-cuts.html

A helpful "basics" page http://www.seriouseats.com/tags/essentials

Once you get the basics down, how to cook chicken, rice, saute veggies, you can expand with more recipes, flavors, etc. The basics plus spices, marinades, sauces, etc. can go a long way in making good, flavorful, and healthy food.

http://greatist.com/eat also has a bunch of interesting recipes/tips/etc

Any good core and cardio routines I can do in home/without machines? My gym is closed for the week for maintenance and I figure this is a good time to rest up and just do some light training. Ran 10 miles and did some stairs this morning, just looking for other stuff to do cause I hate just running

look for any of those P90x. insanity workouts
you can probably find them on youtube or other places..

i still have the p 90 x ab outine from like 2007, joint is killer
 
This is one of my favorite protein-rich snacks:

8 oz Wallaby Organic Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (130 cal, 0g Fat, 9g carb, 23 g protein)
http://www.wallabyyogurt.com/our-products/greek-nonfat-yogurt/item/greek-nonfat-plain-32oz
+
1 Scoop Garden of Life Yerba Mate Protein (Raw, Organic, etc) 17g protein.

Total 40 g protein, 220 cal

The Wallaby will set you back $7.99 (unless it's on sale for $4.99) but you can buy the WF Brand which is comparable and only $5.99. The Yerba Mate protein is about $32.99 for 1.4 lbs (Can get it for under $30 with a $3 coupon).

I'm on a cut so it's great for the protein, low cal and non-existent fat.
