Does anyone EVER use the facebook/twitter/+1/YouTube links? Seriously, anyone on the site EVER?

Can you eat dates? Huge cal/weight all on their own. Easily made tastier with nuts and honey too.

[lithium 358]

when did the new tabs at the top show up?

[///M5 2,833]

Other than that lol, I can't really tell you high or low cal stuff. If you highlighted ingredients I could probably help make them more alluring. Also could hopefully engineer some balance. That is also helpful I'm sure.

Great Aunt makes some seriously good date, molasses, cookies.

[///M5 2,833]

If you are the I make a huge batch and eat for a week I can try to take that into account. I fucking hate leftovers so I could a new meal each night. I'm rather fast in the kitchen though.

[///M5 2,833]

Speaking of, if you haven't you should take a knife skills class. First step in cooking IMO.

[///M5 2,833]

Not saying you can't use a knife, but I'd still like to improve further always.

I like the idea of stuff I can repeat on a constant basis so I know where I'm at for kcal, though I'll eventually get tired of it. Remember how I said I ate sardines, tuna, potatoes a ton. Well I'm tired of potatoes now, and don't eat the sardines or tuna very often.

Perhaps. Don't they make you shit? *imagines eating a bowl, and runs to bathroom hour later* Though I could just be full of shit on the matter--no pun intended.

Amusingly met Guy Savoy when Hung was working for him. Didn't notice Hung.

He makes me feel slow. It isn't the chopping, but the quick breakdown of the sinew on the meat and the little preparations that really impress. Going fast is easy. Going fast and being that accurate and detailed not so much.

Fat 9 kcal per gram

Protein 4 kcal per gram

Carbs 4kcal per gram

Typically fall for fat as it's most energy dense.

As for knife skills I have zero. Everyone in my family cooks, and my aunt is awfully good at cutting produce up with knives, but she isn't a sushi chef either.

Ass? I'll click it. Jesus Christ.

[///M5 2,833]

I wasn't recommending you eat 70 dates in a sitting. Not sure that would be a good way to leverage your fiber for the day. You could have a few as a snack though daily.

[///M5 2,833]

Ass? I'll click it. Jesus Christ.

Huh?

[ssh 924]

Damn he's fast. That's probably the most I've ever learned about proper knife use.

Sometimes I see the tree, and not the forest so to speak.

If I were you I'd come up with a few menu's. Something where you eat 8/10 different things in a day. Each of the things could have an alternative or 2. Gives you a way of having 20 options throughout the day but somewhat always in the same way. Allows you to measure and have variety all at the same times. Figure out when you can stomach the most intake and of what type and choose to eat that during that portion of the day.

Not sure from a gaining perspective if a big meal is good before bed or if it's better first. Also not sure if you are like me and the more you eat for BF the more you eat the rest of the day. Weighing that in your plan would help.

Huh?

You got ninja'd. Refresh and scroll.

[///M5 2,833]

Snacks are where you can make headway. Hard to drink 3 pints of cream, easy to drink a half pint as a hot chocolate with BF.

Sort of what I have going, but needs expanding to more options like you say:

1milk 320cal 16g protein

1eggs, 71kcal 6protein

sardines 288kcal 24protein

tuna 100kcal 20protein

1semibig can tuna = 150kcal, 33g protein

1 white bowl greek yogurt = 171kcal

potato 165kcal 4protein 35carb

1cup trailmix = 128g = 680kcal

1stick butter = 810kcal

pre-during-post-WO-drinkstotal 550kcal

pepperjack cheese - 700kcal

half gal lactose free milk - 1280kcal

1milk + 0.5butter = 680kcal

WORKOUTDAYS=

pre-during-post-WO-drinkstotal 550kcal

half gal lactose free milk 1280kcal

1stick butter spread throughout the entire day. mix into chocolate + lactose free milk, and sip throughout the day. 810kcal

1sardine

1-2milk=300-600kcal

;

I eat light in the morning prior to my workout then just eat like a pig. With so much fat in my diet digestion and absorption is slower, so getting a meal in right before bed is a non issue.

Damn he's fast. That's probably the most I've ever learned about proper knife use.

I don't use my chinese knife for onions. Instead I got a tall bodied chef's knife. Biggest key in chopping is to ride the knife on the knuckle of the hand that is holding the food. Impossible to cut yourself then and only requires you look at the food and where it is. Making sure there is a flat side on whatever the target is (even small shit like garlic) so it can't move is the next bit of golden advice. You skip those to then you will always be slow. Pretty sure I just caused everyone on the board to go "SHIT" that cares. Next it's nice to know how to approach each item. I can dice an onion in about 2x the time it took him to slice one. Longest portion for me is getting the skin off. Friends come over when I am prepping and ask to help. They get to peel garlic. Everything else is easy
