cutting / bulking / whatever the fuck it doesn't matter, post your meals

Did a fucked up dirty bulk over the winter and now I'm paying for it. My current cutting meals:

>Breakfast: Black Coffee

>Meal 1 (12:00) - 1 grilled turkey breast filet, cup of romaine lettuce, cup of spinach, couple of tablespoons of Walden Farms 0 calorie dressing

>Meal 2 (4:00pm) - 1 grilled chicken breast filet, 2 cups mixed veggies, 1 sugar free jello cup

>Meal 3 (6:00pm) - 2 or 3 boiled eggs, Monster Ultra Black SIPS

>Meal 4 (7:30pm) - Protein Shake (3 cups unsweetened Cashew Milk, 1 scoop protein on rest days, 2 scoops on lift days)

This was brutal the first few days, but I'm getting used to it. Hoping to look decent by the end of May. This is the last time I fall for the dirty bulk meme... I also drink like 1 or 2 gallons of water day, so there's that.

on a typical work day it's

630am: an espresso, a croissant, and read a book/newspaper for 30 minutes before work.
10am break : 6 eggs with spinach and tomatoes and garlic (omelette), some toast, and an espresso.
2pm lunch: steak and lettuce wrap, small salad with feta/chicken/pickled cabbage.
8pm din din : usually a hamburger or chipotle because lazy after work.

thinking of doing keto

is this just a meme or does it legitimately work?

Cutting with this. Basically I use it to replace like 90% of my food. Example: I'll eat an orange and a few cashews for breakfast and drink a glass of this. Lunch might be some chicken or eggs and a glass of this. Dinner would be like a little bit of beef with some veggies and glassful of this. I'm actually eating less actual food than my dainty little old mother.

Bulls get big eating just grass and hay.

i'll preface by saying that i don't fully understand ketosis, but i think that eating keto partially at least, gives you an appreciation of simpler foods, and the meals tend to be lower calorie due to lack of carbs.

It's working for me and I've not even strict about it.

Like the other guys said you don't even have to go strict keto (unless you want to cut HARD and you aren't natty), just eating keto foods is great for cuts.

how is this even possible anyway

someone explain please

Superior BULL genetics

and birds can fly. so why dont you jump off a building and try it?
shit level analogy

Can I drink the Zero Sugar, Zero Calorie Monster energy drinks on Keto? What about black coffee?

>Can I drink the Zero Sugar, Zero Calorie Monster energy drinks on Keto?
Sure, but don't be under the illusion that it's healthy because it fucking isn't
If you need to rely on energy drinks to have enough energy to lift then I think you have more serious underlying problems with your diet or general health.

I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I don't get as much sleep and/or rest as I'd like because for the past 3 years, I've been dealing with children who can't sleep because of teething, sickness, separation anxiety, being weened off of pacifiers, transitioning from cribs to beds, etc.

The energy drinks and coffee definitely help me survive the work day and give me the energy to get to the gym and get a good workout in.

I'll probably ween myself off the energy drinks in the future when my kids aren't so needy ALL the time, but for the time being, they're a miracle in a can.

730am : 3 cups of water + coffee
800am : 1 cup steel cuts, 1 cup blue berries, 1.5 scoops of MEAT JUICE, 1 cup of mixed veges
11am : 2 tuna sandwiches on self made quinoa bread, Salad (kale/broccoli/spinach/Brussel sprouts) seeds and nuts on top.
Post Workout: 60 grams of rice with 1.5 chicken breasts.
3 hours after post workout ground turkey salad on same salad with some mixed nuts
30 minutes before bed: 1.5 cup Greek yogurt with .5 cup mixed berries.

>Fried bacon + couscous

Anyone else eat this? Delicious.

Stay the fuck away from energy drinks when on a weight lifting program. Your heart DOES NOT NEED that extra intake of garbage that you're likely already feeding it. Go for a non caffeine pre-workout of you need the mental stimulant, or caffeine if you're a junky at heart. I use preworkout almost religiously on my leg days, every other day is coffee and green tea. No need for over stimulating your body.

>garlic/basil/lemon salmon with butter, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower

>Steak with broccoli/any green veggies

>Bacon-wrapped asparagus, roast squash, spinach

>Garlic-pepper-chili omelette on spinach

>Homemade beef meatballs with rosemary, basil, Feta cheese and chili in them with roast tomatoes (remove seeds before roasting)

>Chicken stew with spinach, onions, peppers, and a shitload whatever green veggies you like, stew for at least 4 hours and taste the stock periodically, that makes or brakes any stew

>Cheese and bacon filled bell peppers

>Mozzarella salad with tomatoes, iceberg salad, watercress, black pepper, chopped broccoli, some shreddded chicken and a dash of olive oil

>Egg salad with a bit of mayo, celery, mustard, red onion, salmon

>Gravlax wrapped in salad leaves, drizzle with lemon juice

>Huevos racheros without the burrito wraps

Cuttin atm. I still like to eat well, I buy generally only fresh and frozen, nothing premade.

I've tried a bunch of pre workouts for energy and they all gave me the jitters and a racing heart during workouts. I'd borderline be in panic attack mode while curling or benching or something because my heart would be racing so fast from the pre workouts.

I've never had that happen with an energy drink, though.

What's your job?

Cooked some protein bars today. Should be about 12 in the pan.

I used to be a middle school teacher. Now, I work for the school system as a Student and Family Needs Specialist. Basically, I work with schools to train their staff on how to have effective communication with students and parents, and how to better engage both parents and students in regards to education. I also lead workshops on cultural competencies, behavior intervention practices, and Student SpEd services.

What's that got to do with my meal plan, though?

I was seeing if you need to manage your time better so you don't have to rely on stimulants like a lazy retard, seems like you do

There is only the sip

Oh. Well yea, I guess I could maybe manage my time a little better though. Right now I have a lot of downtime at my job because schools will be closing for summer, and I'm not really working with families and/or students right now. Work shop season doesn't start until late July, early August...so I have ample time to fuck around on Youtube or shitpost on Veeky Forums. I could probably stand to go to bed earlier, but my kids go to sleep at 8:30, I get home from the gym around 9:30 or 10pm, and I REALLY love just having a couple of hours to myself to either play vidya or watch a movie with my wife with no kids/distractions around.

>Fried beef mince with roast/fried broccoli/veggies, add spinach

>White fish fried in butter with garlic, rosemary and thyme, add ground black pepper once done. Eat with spinach and watercress

>Roast tomatoes With basically any meat taste amazing

>Bonus: Proper way to fry chicken breasts. Take out of fridge to room temp. Season both sides, I use paprika powder, chili, blackpepper and salt. Heat pan proper hot, add butter. Once butter has melted, fry chicken on one side for 1 minute. Turn heat off, put lid on, let sit for 10 min. Take off heat, let sit for 10 min. Done, butter used for frying tastes amazing with wholewheat pasta, mature cheddar and ketchup/season of choice.

Hand it over nice and slowly and no one loses a gain, ok?

I just had an 8 egg omelet with cheese ham and onion. It was fucking gangster.

New York Strip, shrimp, spinach, and a colossal sweet potato

does cooking your own protein bars actually produce edible bars? I've never tried but am interested

Did the ny strip rape yo mum?

Fasted 23 hours atm. Fuck you all

>Breakfast 3 eggs, 1 slice of cheese, 1 pretzel/slice of bread/small tortilla, one sip - 490 calories.

>Lunch no real lunch, just some low salt and fat chicken sticks

>6:30pm 1 pretzel or 2 waffles before swimming at around 7

>Dinner - Chicken breast, veggies and 1/5pt of Halo Top peanut butter cup, alternative is more eggs if no chicken is available.

why is your steak burnt

breakfast: nothing
lunch: nothing
supper: frozen pizza

>he fell for the intermittent fasting meme

Post recipe.

Been posting this image the past couple days, nothing special but it's 90% of what I've put in my belly for 6 days on a cut

looks delish, care to share recipes?

10/10
add more protein bro, looks like it lacks protein

I've seen you post this image in literally every meal thread for the past week almost.

After seeing it so much, I have to ask; what kind of success are you seeing with it? Looks like you're really limiting your carb intake (which is what I've started doing this week). I've also been doing IF for the past 5 weeks and can't say I've seen any huge difference. Maybe cutting the carbs will help with my cut.

how the fuck do you recover from training if you're eating like that brah? Like if it's working for you, then who gives a crap, but if i ate like that I wouldn't even want to roll out of bed.

>he fell for the constantly spiking your insulin jew
wew

I've never used recipes because I like to cook. Too lazy to write recipes for all of these but feel free to ask for some specifically

A2 is two whole baked mackerel with steamed leeks and cottage cheese with pepper, lemon and garlic
A3 is Fried chicken breast coated in sesame seeds with steamed broc, lightly fried red onions and mushrooms with salt, pepper and coriander
B2 is roast turkey leg with coleslaw (white cabbage, carrot, egg mayo)
C2 is two herring fillets on a bed of rocket with a dill & pickle cream sauce
Eggs are usually poached in whatever vegetable liquid/stock I have leftover and served with paprika, MSG, pepper & coriander

>After seeing it so much, I have to ask; what kind of success are you seeing with it?

I'm inherently impatient so I try not to cook anything that takes more than 15 minutes, other than the unattended oven time for roasting large meat joints.
I genuinely just took pics of everything I put inside me for 6 days and posted it, nothing special other than focused around less carbs. I've lost about 2-3kg so far.

I tried IF and had poor results- I'd just get extremely hungry later in the day and eat more to compensate. Eating throughout the day works SO much better for me, and helps me stay timed/rigid/structured in when I eat which helps most I think.


Also apples and water. Best sugar binge solution ever.

Diabetic here, insulin spikes are not the enemy, changes in blood sugar levels are. Eat less refined sugar and added sugars and you're fine- insulin isn't the boogey man and keto isn't the white saving forgotten gospel

2 cup oatmeal

10 scoops of protein powder

½ cup fat free cream cheese

1 cup non fat dry milk powder

4 eggs

½ cup water

3 bananas, mashed

2 tsp. Olive oil
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a pan with cooking spray & set aside. In a medium bowl combine oatmeal, Protein powder & dry milk. Set aside. In another bowl beat together with an electric hand mixer, cream cheese, eggs, bananas, water & oil. Add the oat mixture & continue to beat until the two are combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan & bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

alright, here's the plan for today

>9:00AM tortilla, 4 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 1tsp butter, 1 slice of cheese, half a tomato

>11:00AM black coffee, greek yogi

>2:00PM Pollo Tropicalz: 2 Chicken breasts, white rice, black beans, corn, hawaiian bun

>5:00PM Protein shake

>10:00PM 1 Chicken breast, some veg, sweet potato

Normally try to hit at least 3k cals, 180g protein, 250g carb, 100g fat

It was my first time cooking steak on the stove, damnit. It still tasted good imo.

They have different stomachs than us, if we were to try and eat grass or hay we wouldn't be able to digest it or absorb its nutrients because of our inferior stomach genetics.

>Serving Size: 1 Serving

I like fitbit but the american and fake measurements and serving sizes never cease to blow me away

I made the recipe, so I just put one serving because I know what the ingredients total divided by 12 will be. The app is MyFitnessPal.

>I'd just get extremely hungry later in the day and eat more to compensate.
I'm glad you mentioned that, because that's exactly what's been happening with me. By the time my eating window rolls around, it's like my body is in starvation mode and I overeat to compensate for the fast...which kinda ruins it.

I'll probably start doing a diet similar to yours after Lent. I decided to do Intermittent Fasting as a Lent resolution, so I feel obligated to stick with it until Easter.

3 slices of prosciutto about 200gr of cheese (hard) 2 eggs 60gr of olives and 25gr of almonds, half an onion a can of tuna.

Rolling out of bed IS really hard, lots of Caffeine/Sips and pure determination is how I do it, haven't had one cheat day or day off in the last month and I feel like I've been run over by a steamroller 24/7. Maybe there is a more efficient way to do it but my way has brought about better muscle definition and weight loss so I figure it's working.

Post some quick meals

so there are people this stupid

everything looks so fucking great familia

nice dishes too

5 large eggs
8 slices of bacon

Protein shake if i worked out that day

Thats my entire diet

yea I get that, I'm interested in knowing what mechanisms their body goes throught in order to digest the food they eat, what processes are involved in making muscle gains with mostly carbs and barely proteins, unlike humans

I should probably just open a fucking book and look it up myself but I'm too lazy today, so maybe one of the apparently numerous medfags that frequent this shithole can shed some light onto this matter?

I've lost an inch off my waist and my lifts have actually gone up within the past two weeks. If it's stupid but it works then it's not stupid. Faggot.

How do I prepare chicken breasts in my college dorm Veeky Forums?
