Egg N Cheese Sandwhich

2 Slices Whole Wheat Bread
3 egg Whites
1 Yolk
1 Slice of Fat Free Cheese

Mix the egg whites and yolk together. Add milk if you desire. Heat pan up and spray on some non-stick cooking spray(0 calorie whatever). Pour the egg mixture in and when it starts to cook, keep flipping it onto the other parts of the egg until it can fit on bread. Put the gg on the piece of bread and the put the slice of cheese one.

Its sooo good!

Lowfat cottage cheese, mixed in with lowfat rice pudding, with a touch of vanilla added. you can mix to suit your taste.

Easy to mix, easy to carry. Kozy Shack has little travel rice pudding cups for lunches, I just take those and mix it with cottage cheese and throw it all into a ziplock bag or GLAD container.

If I'm doing hard cardio (revving or sprints), I'll throw this snack in between breakfast and lunch. Works great, energy levels are always great.

[thajeepster]

1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree, not the pumpkin pie mix
4 egg white
1 scoop Protein powder, I use vanilla Isopure
1/4 tsp baking powder or soda
cinnamon and splenda to taste

Blend all ingredients on high until smooth, may have to add a little water to thin it out some. Not much at all though, tbsp or so.

Cook em up and top with sf jam and syrup.

Increase ratios to make more for a whole meal, or have them with scrambled egg whites. Either way, its a damn good breakfast. Enjoy!

I got creative today and made some really good pre workout snacks or just a plain old snack idea. Here goes:

3 large banana's
1 cup peanut butter
4 tbsp chocolate ovaltine
1 cup oats
1/4 cup water



use 3 ripe banana's so that they are more firm and easier to handle. melt the pb and then add the ovaltine and oats, mix well. add the water slowly to keep the mixture from getting to thick. spread the mixture over the bananas untill totaly coverd. place the bananas on a hard plate so that when the harden they will not stick to the plate but they will snap right off.......let freeze for 3 hours and enjoy!

I think everyone does ^ daily.

Nah, only 1/2 cup is for the weak .

[antbrdwar]

Nah, only 1/2 cup is for the weak .

I'd have to agree. I eat 3.5-4 cups of oats a day and love them everytime. After the oats challenge I assumed I'd get sick of them.. a day later i was back in the oats rut, lol. I can't wait to bulk just because I get to eat more of the stuff I love

Back to the recipes, this one's my breakfast in the morning if I'm on a carb cycle and it's low day...

Olympian Omelette
2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites
1 serving of protein powder (flavour of choice) providing 21g of protein
1 tablespoon of whole/semi-skimmed milk

1. Pre-heat a non-stick frying/omelette pan to medium heat with some olive oil.
2. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl/jug in this order, and mix thoroughly with a hand-whisk or blender. Beat the eggs, then add the protein powder, whisk, then finally whisk the milk in until there are lots of bubbles on top.
3. Pour mixture into pan, and wait until it begins to half-set - you should noticeably see it get harder on the bottom. It usually takes about 5 minutes.
4. Slide a spatula under slowly, then flip that baby over.
5. Wait another couple of minutes for the other side to cook.
6. It's done!!!

Nutrition: (bearing in mind that on average, 1 serving of protein powder has about 99 cals)
Calories: 289
Protein: 40g
Carbs: <2g/negligible (trace g in the egg and tblsp of milk)
Fat: 12g (use omega-enriched eggs)
Others: lecithin, iron, zinc, vitamins A and E, and all the other goodness eggs contain

Bulking snack:


Cup of strawberry yogurt
Cup of rasin bran cereal
Bit of milk

Tastes sooo sweet, plenty of complex carbs and protein.

[jtsisyoda]

6 oz. Tuna
4 tbsp Peanut Butter
2 slices whole grain bread

Put 2 tbsp PB on each slice of bread (to keep the bread from getting soggy). Then drain the tuna and put it on. The PB taste overpowers the tuna taste, IMO.

Roughly 650 calories, 50g protein, 30g fat, 50g carbs (depends on the bread).

Peanut protein is a little low on Lysine. Tuna has extra Lysine, so it's really "50+" grams of protein since they compliment each other. (Source: nutritiondata.com)

I just made some great pita bread pizza's

100-150g grilled chicken, always have leftovers...
no salt added tomato sauce, in the can
fat free shredded mozzarela cheese
mushrooms, or veggies of your choice.
1 whole wheat pita bread

put about 1/3 to 1/2 cup tomato paste in bowl and add seasonings... I used garlic, parsley, oregano and some hot sauce. Mix well to make pizza sauce

you know how to make a pizza, bread, sauce, cheese, toppings... bake in oven till cheese is all bubbly and crust is nice and toasted.

Damn that was good

[Sixpack]

Jeepster where did u find the no sodium tomato sauce? Been looking for a no cal, no sodium salsa or tomato sauce , hot sauce etc

[thajeepster]

found it at my grocery store, its hunts, comes in a small 1 cup can. Stay away from the ones with garlic and herbs and stuff. They are full of sodium and you can add that stuff in yourself.

With my 'Olympian Omelette' recipe, I added 2 heaped tablespoons of cottage cheese before folding it - mmm, mama!!
Here's another delicious recipe, my take on pancakes:

Protein Pancakes
1 cup of oats
2 whole eggs or six egg whites
1 scoop of protein powder - any flavour
1 banana, chopped
2 tsps brown sugar/sweetener

1. Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl/blender one at a time and mix up good until you come up with a nice, sticky batter.
2. Pre-heat a non-stick frying/omelette pan on medium heat with a little olive oil for a couple of minutes, then add the batter with a dessertspoon.
3. Fry for 5 minutes or so, then flip it over for another 3 minutes. DON'T overcook it.
4. Serve it up!! With syrup if off-season, or fruit of your choice. Or powdered sugar. Whatever.

I have another way to make potatoes that is pretty healthy. Just take the cleaned potatoes and cut them into big or small pieces(like fries). Put foil in the pan and put potatoes on the foil. Coat potatoes with olive oil and season with your choice of any spices. I think you bake on 350 degrees for like 45 mins to 1 hour. They taste real good like fries without the bad stuff in them.

This is my favourite way to have chicken breasts:

Max's Lemon Mustard Chicken Breasts
150g Chicken breast
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tsps of mustard
2 tsps of olive oil
1 clove of garlic, crushed

Add the lemon juice, mustard, olive oil and garlic to a large mixing bowl. Mix it up until it's all mixed together. Place the chicken breast in it, completely covering the breast. Cover with foil or film, and place in the fridge for at least an hour. Pre-heat grill/George Foreman after an hour, then remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Slowly add half the marinade halfway through. Serve with brown rice, and pour the rest of the marinade over the dish, or enjoy on its own.

Serve with brown rice, and pour the rest of the marinade over the dish, or enjoy on its own.

This recipe sounds really good, but just to clarify, you really shouldn't use uncooked marinade which has been in contact with raw chicken. If you want to use it as a sauce you need to zap it in the microwave first & make sure it boils to kill off any nasties.

1st post-

The Neevik:

1 pound bag of fresh spinach (washed and dried)
4 oz cooked garbonzo beans
1 clove of garlic sliced thin
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 fresh lemon
sea salt and fresh pepper to taste

Heat up a saute pan. Add the olive oil and then the garlic. Fry the garlic until it is golden brown. Add the spinach and "melt" it done in the pan. The spinach will shrink down as it cooks. Hit the spinach with the fresh lemon juice (no seeds). When the spinach is a big moist mass add the beans and then season and serve. Do not burn the garlic. Do not leave the garlic raw. It should be that nice nut brown smell and taste. This is a great side dish with grilled meats and seafood...
