chicken gizzards and bud light. (you're going to laugh)

[Junkers88]

So my "cheat day" is Saturday afternoon. My wife gives me that day to drink some beer and eat some terrible foods that I LOVE. This last Saturday I bought four 40oz Budlights and a pound of chicken gizzards to fry up. All said and done I woke up Sunday feeling plump and a tad hungover. Well as a joke she tells me to run the caloric intake and macros on what I'd eaten and drank.... get this.

I had my weight gainer for breakfast and then was at work till 330. Afterwards all I had was the gizzards and beer.

Macros were.

Fat 23g out of 106 required
Carbs 325 out of 439 required
Protein 226 out of 120 required

My app says what I "need" to gain muscle. I usually run closer to 180g of protein. What made me laugh is that after my "cheat" day I had consumed a hell of a lot more protein than I normally do with the chicken gizzards. Had to go online to see if that was accurate and it turns out they are one hell of a source of protein. Maybe I should drink a beer or two a day and eat more animal organs?


Just thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

Sounds groce...


Except the beer.

[latebloomingmom]

when I lived in Nebraska chicken gizzards could be found on many menus and lots of people liked them

As a caveat here I probably need to mention that growing up in a farming household we ate everything out of a butchered animal. Man I can't tell you how much I miss beef heart cut thin and pan fried then stacked in a sandwich with some garden fresh tomatoes. Oh and raw hamburger meat.... oh Lord how I LOVE raw hamburger meat..... drool......

[Junkers88]

Yup, I'd eat that up in a quick minute.

Well then, Americans are usually terrified of this 'healthy' Canadian dish...

Fries with gravy and cheese curds....

My mom always raved about raw hamburger, but not sure would try these days

disagree. This is what women do (feminine types) when they are married to a good man. They feed their man.

I love me some chicken gizzards...fry them up with some BBQ sauce..mmm, mmm gooooddddd

[thnikkaman]

I'm out on the gizzards and the bud light, but hook me up with that raw hamburger meat.

I'm also in on carpaccio but I think that's a little too white collar for this thread.

Pwned... I'm the cook in my house and they pretty much they eat what I cook. I stick to my macros but make other things if they want them. Just got a deal on big packages of chicken thighs, been grillin' them, baking them and putting them in spaghetti sauce with mozzarella cheese on top. Had a good beer-swilling weekend too, got me and my sons some regular Coors and some Guinness as well. Don't know if it is the beer-chicken combo or not, but my lifts were good all weekend.

I have to give the gizzards a try, they look awesome. I know my cats always liked them and would almost kill each other when I put a plate of them on the floor.

Chicken gizzards are great. As a kid my mom would make it like goulasch and then have it over spatzle which is just egg and flour mixed and then put through a press into boiling water to make noodles. mmmm. Think I may make that tonite

[trymarine]

Already got guts,so i wont be eating any soon.

Meh it's what the app states I need. I don't follow that one or the protein either but use the app to track what I've taken in and adjust from there.
