Lets face it guys, no matter where you shop for groceries these days buying lean meats is damn
expensive. Especially if you don't make much money,and are trying to pay rent,for a vehicle
or just trying to get enough protein and nutritious foods that will help you grow bigger as
a dedicated bodybuilder.
Before I go into what the meal is about,here's what I suggest...
Since if you live in California if you're a bodybuilder who wants to get bigger,and have to pay
a friggin' fortune for food,rent and other essentials---start a sub account to strictly pay for
food. Especially lean meat and protein powder.
Figure out what you pay on the average per month for food;including lean meat and protein
powder. Then take that money out of your account that your cash from working a job goes to.
That way that money is already in there and you can spend it guilt free,so to speak.
It just works better that way.
But for our purposes here I'm going to give you a meal I cooked up with leftovers and is
high in protein,cruciferous or fiber loaded veggies and needed carbs.
Even if you can easily afford to pay for lean meats to add to this meal your body can only
take so much lean beef and pork especially. Those are more saturated fat dense proteins
you don't want every meal. The good old heart can only handle so much in the way of lean meats even
though they are vital in building solid muscle.
So,here's my high protein--no meat meal. It tastes great as well.
You can switch things up and choose different foods to include in this meal to your liking.
Ingredients: Kidney Beans--1 Cup
White Rice--Half Cup
Stewed Tomatoes: A third to half a can
Onions: 1 Cup and diced
Pasta Sauce: 3 tablespoons
Spices: Black Pepper,Salt,Oregano or any spice you like
3 whole eggs cooked sunny side up to have on the side.
2 pieces of whole wheat toast dry.
That's the meal. Loaded with protein,carbs and plenty of fat from the whole eggs. Eggs are
loaded with protein,good fats and cholesterol that the body uses effectively. Don't throw
away the yolks.
This meal is perfect if you don't make much money. You can even make a stew out of it
and make it in a crock pot,and make enough meals for a number of days.
You'll get about 40 grams of protein from this meal. The carbs are approximately 90 grams.
Don't quote me on that. Could be more or less. I know it seems a bit high in carbs,but you need
high quality carbs from the beans and rice to fuel your workouts. And the fats from the eggs
will act as an energy source as well if used right for workouts and daily activities.
The fat is about 20 grams. Plenty of fat,and not too much.
You can make this up any way you choose. I include other veggies in it like cauliflower
and broccoli. You could also buy cheap cans of tuna to add to the beans and nix the eggs.
And as a good fat source use two teaspoons of peanut butter and mix it in with the beans, rice and veggies. You may or may not like that taste,but I know I do. Plenty of protein man!
You can do this up so many ways.
All without having to buy expensive beef or pork.
Tell me what you think.
