For those of you following Massive Eating, what do your meals consist of? I was just wondering what you eat on a daily basis, providing that you have a job and stuff.
Mostly I eat the carb + prot in the first part of the day which consists of oats and AP or cottage cheese and muslix or tuna and mac and cheese, then I switch to fat + prot. which is mostly tuna and flax or eggs and turkey.
It might sound a little lackluster but I mostly have 3 scoops whey and 3 tablespoons of flax oil. Otherwise, 6 whole eggs with cheddar and cottage cheese, steak (whenever I can), and BBQued chicken.
For carb meals, I try to jam as much fiber into my morning carb meal as possible, so Bran Buds are a normal choice along with fruit, yogurt, skim milk and whey or cottage cheese.
Massive Eating works, and you can have a lot of variety, but being at work I’m a little limitied.
I have job that allows me to stop working a 3 times a day. I eat 3 carb/protein meals + 3 protein/fat + 2 postworkout shakes (1 hour apart); on non-workout days I eat 4 protein/carb and 3 protein/fat. I generally eat 7:30/10/12:30/3:30/PW-7:30/PW-8:30/10:30.
My diet consists of chicken, lean (5 % - 10 %) ground beaf, low fat cheese, flaxseed oil, fish oil caps, peanuts, peanut butter, protein factory WPC, eggs, bagels, rice, pasta, tortilla, bag’o’salad, potato and last but certainly not least spices/condiments. I have found that some the meals that Steve Berardi suggests, especially the Chili saves alot of time in cooking for the week.
Here are a few of my sample meals. Protein + Carb Meals: 1) Chicken breast, sweet potato, brocolli. 2) Cottage cheese and fruit. 3) Tuna and fruit or yogurt. 4) Grow and fruit. Protein + Fat Meals: 1) Chili with cheese 2) Porkchops or Ribs and beans. 3) Steak
P+C meals: 1)MRP with extra scoop of protein and 1/2 cup oatmeal thrown in, banana 2)2.5 cups pasta with 1 can tuna mixed in, 1 scoop (20g.) protein powder
P+F meals: 1)1 c. cottage cheese, 1 scoop protein powder, big salad w/olive oil and vinegar dressing, 1 tbsp flax oil 2)8-10oz lean beef, salad, 1 tbsp oil
Here’s my solution to quick, convenient protein + carb: breakfast – first eat 8 egg whites, then drink a shake made from blending about 1.5 cups water, 1 cup uncooked oatmeal, 1.5 cups plain nonfat yogurt (Eric Serrano said this yogurt is very good for you), 1.5 cups of frozen strawberries. I don’t cook the oatmeal. For mid-morning I blend the same shake but add 1 scoop Advanced Protein (I don’t eat the eggs this time). I blend this in the morning during breakfast and take it to work. When you need a serious bulk-up this is an easy way to get a lot of carbs/calories at one time. You can increase the amounts and get these meals to over 700 cals. each.
Ok, thanks for the help everyone. I am getting really interested in this diet now. I have a few questions. 1). Can I use peanut butter for my fat meals? 2). Why do some of you use cottage cheese for fat meals, and others for carbs? Does everyone eat low fat cottage cheese, or should it be nonfat, or regular? 3). What kind of fruit do you use?
Thanks!
I posted two shake recipes that go great with Massive Eating in this week’s Reader Mail section (issue #170). Check’em out.
Princess, peanut butter is another good one to use for Protein + Fat meals. I forgot to include that. Also, beef jerky and nuts are other foods for Protein + Fat meals. As for Cottage cheese, I use it with Protein + Carb meals because it’s a low-carb meal with high protein. But you can use it both ways (eat with carbs or fat). I just prefer to get in more fruits or veggies, so I make it a P + C meal.
I start out with 4 to 6 egg whites and a three scoop protien shake for breakfast. Then a protein bar for a snack with 4 gms of fish oil or flax. Wheat and cheese sandwich with cottage cheese and 3 scoop protien shake. the key is to get 1.5 gm of protein per pound of your body weight. You will grow!
Carbs: lentil soup, veggie soup, canned veggie chili (health valley is killer), large bowl mixed berries, rice. Protein: canned sardines in olive oil, tuna plain, with sald dressing or with olive oil and added spice mix, chicken breasts plain, or basted with tomato sauce or olive oil + spice mix. Fat: flax oil, nuts expecially walnuts, pecans, peanuts or macademia nuts.
Thanks everyone who is replying. To those of you who eat the chili as mentioned on this website, it is eaten as a fat meal, even with the carbs from the beans? What is the nutrient breakdown on this chili? Thanks!
when having P+C or P+F meals some carbs or some fat is probably gonna sneek in. I don’t think any of the meals have eliminated either 100%, so when trying to eliminate one how much is okay, know what I mean? For example how many carbs could be in a P+F meal and still be okay? Does anyone know?
Thanks, good post.
As for the amount of carbs in a P + F meal, I believe it’s supposed to be under 5 or 10 grams. Same goes for fat in P + C meals. I know my chili meals have more than 10 grams of carbs due to the beans, tomatoes, peppers and onions that I put in, but I’m not too worried about it. I like my chili and load it up with lean beef and cheese. Not all my meals are perfect “Massive Eating meal combos,” but it works fine for me.
I love the ideas of various foods presented here. So I’m bumping up the thread.
