Hello everyone... I was invited here by proudmanlet back in December. I started my cut recently so I figured it would be a good time to join the chat.


Does anyone have any good pressure cooker recipes? The only meal I make is chicken, rice, olive oil, veggies (broccoli, green beans, and/or peas), and some sort of sauce... usually a low-sodium simmer sauce or something similar. It's delicious but it's getting boring.

welcome to the thread.

I don't have a pressure cooker, but the wife does use the crock pot quite a bit. roast, corned beef, pork all goes in for 8+ hrs and comes out heavenly. take the meat and put it on a bed of brown rice with a little broth, done.

the wife also uses a Römertopf (german clay pot) as well. I don't like it as much as the crock pot. it can make the food mushy imo.

holy fuk lol

Should have seen my bloated gut. Was out of this world lol!

I actually could not walk properly.

[PushTheWeak]

Am I doing it wrong? I maintain at 2500, I'm 170lbs. Is this why I am fat?

Looks at avi...fat?! You must be high. I'm fat...id chop off a thumb to look like you..I'd chop off my nuts to look like Joseph.

Also my maintenance is bout 3000.

It's just that I get so much fluid pumped a day I gain 3-5 pounds a day.

[mgftp]

Probably... try eating at a slight caloric deficit and keep lifting... 500 calories/day = ~1lb per week. What are your macros? Are you taking a multi?

At about 2500 I am barely maintaining strength, last summer I averaged less and lost strength.

I don't get into macros, I just try to eat high protein and carbs and sugars are workouts. Guess I just gotta get more dedicated and do the macro thing.

And yes I take a multi unless thats code for something else. Who doesn't take a multi? Flintstones chewables FTW.

I am chunky compared to where I was 10 years ago when I ate like complete ****, so it's frustrating even though I know it is part of aging. I used to look close to Josef eating like complete ****, BRB $20 worth of Taco Bell at 6am after drinking all night with a ripped stomach and muscle mass.... now I can eat really clean and watch cals, but can't seem to maintain decent muscle mass and get truly lean .... BRB, praying for my youth back.

Morning Gents. Was going to post my food porn from this weekend, but I am not going to tempt anyone.

@Drukqs is a pressure cooker like a crockpot? If so I have a few recipes, some keto friendly ones as well.

I really need to invest in a crock pot... my buddy made pulled pork for Super Bowl and it was outrageously good. I like using my pressure cooker because A) I'm single and it dirties fewer dishes, and B) I throw all of the ingredients in, turn it on, work out in my basement, and have a fully-cooked meal when I'm done. Setting a crock pot before I leave for work would be just as easy, and I'd come home to a delicious meal.

A pressure cooker is kind of like a turbo crock pot... rather than all of the ingredients slow-cooking all day, the lid locks on creating a seal and all of the heat and steam create pressure that cooks the food much faster. I'm interested in the recipes though... I think I'm going to buy a crock pot very soon.

starting cut in a couple weeks. is it best to drop to maintenance and stay there for 1-2 weeks then slowly go into a deficit?

Ahhh man I am the complete opposite.. when I eat too greasy my stomach hates me. For the longest time everytime I ate something unhealthy I would get dem runs.. it seems to be better now.

much love, stern brah. my body is ready.

what happends when you clean bulk? do you lose shape? if you're consuming x amount of calories, and you lose strength and size, it's not enough calories.
what % of carbs do you consume? have you ever tried high/clean carbs? in my experience, low carbs kill me. I flatten out, lose strength, size, etc. I find that 50+% clean carbs work best for me. cutting and bulking.

Good advice here. Can't understand why people do low carb / keto diets. It's ridiculous to deprive your body of its primary energy substrate.

never again am i doing that. last cut i spent a good three months doing low carb and feeling like crap. for the last month of my cut i switched back to my normal foods but ate less and i made better results. basically did IF + IIFYM and it worked out better than low carb.

oh and good morning everyone

[RJT1534]

good morning all. made breakfast this morning and came out delicious!! should of snapped a pic.

I was just goofing about the multi... BB.com members used to joke that all you needed to achieve your goals was to "lift heavy and take a multi".

If you're not already, try using www.myfitnesspal.com to see how many cals you're consuming and how your macros breakdown... upping your cals and doing more cardio might help you maintain strength without gaining fat. Also, don't let your fat intake drop too low as saturated fats are necessary for hormone production... that means testosterone in males.

Here's an excerpt from a BB.com article that mentions sat fats and testosterone... there are better articles to be found via Google, but I don't think BB.com wants links to their competitors...

I know what you are thinking, these are bad also. Well, you are right and wrong. Saturated fats are found in animal products including beef, pork, lamb, milk, cheese and eggs. It is true that these fats can cause health problems when taken in excess, especially for those who are not active. These fats are easily turned into increased body fat, when eaten latter in the day. They can raise insulin levels and increase your chances of insulin resistance. They also increase your chance for getting arteriosclerosis and heart disease. So, where are the benefits? A major benefit of saturated fats is that they are essential when trying to gain muscle mass. Ask any serious bodybuilder or powerlifter how much mass they packed on the last time they were on a low fat diet. Even the powerlifters and bodybuilders of yesteryear knew that to pack on some serious strength and size they had to consume saturated fats. Saturated fat and cholesterol also have a direct association with testosterone production. Increased testosterone equals bigger and stronger muscles and decreased recovery time. Even though we have to limit our intake of these fats, it doesn't mean that powerlifters should try to avoid them at all costs, unless they have a medical condition.
