Favorite muscle building meal?

[christos_swc]

So you've just done a one rep max deadlift and go home.
Down your protein shake if you like I don't care but the time to eat WILL come.
What's your preferred fuel for serious muscle growth if you have one?
I'm happy with fish, chicken or read meat but my personal favorite is a pork steak with boiled potatos and my trademark lemon/olive oil/tobasco/other-secret-ingredients sauce

If I carb up on Mexican food before a workout, I'm set to go it seems!

[cowboybiker]

Everyday is different.

Im having ribs tonite, so ribs it is!

This, though I nix the mushrooms, they don't play well with my digestive system.

OP, all dishes must be taste tested by our panel of experts... Please post secret ingredients.

This. Nothing like eating 5 different kinds of meat and a few eggs in one sitting to build muscle.... plus a pile of carbs and fat for fuel.. And choice of dessert, too!

Absolutely, but I usually have steak for dessert too.

My favorite restaurant is Fogo de Chao. I mean, c'mon. People just come up to you with slabs of meat and cut it off on your plate, endlessly.... My token is always green side up. Moar Meat! LOL

My favorite restaurant is Fogo de Chao.

I ate there once while on a business trip a few years ago in Dallas, and have been craving it ever since. Unfortunately there isn't one where I live...I can see why it is your favorite.

^^^ This. Except I don't stop at one glass of beer.

Same here but didn't want to antagonize the alcohol nannies.

Oh god, yes. Black lager (e.g., Sam Adams) is good. Stout is also good. Porter is not bad. Dark ale is... okay. It only gets worse from there.

Some veges to go with, too. Asparagus is great. Potatoes, of course. Green beans of some kind, yum. Anything else is optional.


A huge lamb roast, medium-rare, with roast veges alongside and some kind of sauce/gravy for it all - that's another fave of mine. Beer again? Sure, bring it. And make it dark.

Triple meats fried rice.....(beef /chicken/shrimp) works well for distance running 6+ miles or a recovery meal so that i can hit the gym hard again the following day.

Large pizza with pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, and black olives.

Well, if this were a poll, read meat would win hands down.
Having said all that I like my pizza loaded on ham, bacon and pepperoni.
If I feel I've eaten one bite red meat too many I will switch to this teaser.
And lately I've been adding black olives to almost all my meals.
They taste great, they are good for you, they go with pretty much everything.
It doesn't hurt that the wife has her own production of olive oil and, subsequently, olives!

Grilled salmon and a side of veggies. I would eat salmon daily if I could, I luv it that much. But, it's a bit pricey to eat that often.
Raw sushi is always quite good.

A great steak place I think, is Texas Roadhouse. If you have one near you, and haven't checked it out yet...give it a try. Great steaks and salads. I think they are better than Outback, frankly. Outback has gone down in quality and up in price, IMHO.

[DubfromGA]

Shrimp, steak, chicken and chorizo.

[terman1]

Reese's peanut butter egg and a big glass of cold milk.






OK, maybe it's not very muscle building but damn they're tasty

[Legbuh]

A dozen traditional buffalo wings from my favorite joint (big and meaty, perfect flavor and home made bleu cheese dip), a salad smothered in ranch, garlic butter bread stick and a couple schooners of Honey Weiss... MMMMMM.. my mouth is already watering... Saturday won't come soon enough!

[billrich210]

4 scrambled eggs with lean hamburger and salsa wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla. Steak and taters sounds good too.

Hell yeah.... got a local chinese buffet that has a carving board and sushi bar, some barbecue as well. Way in the back so many miss it or don't bother.
