Weigh yourself every morning after your ****. You need to know how much water weight you lose overnight. This will be a factor w/regards to the last few pounds. I lose 4-5 pounds overnight.

How do you know you won’t be constipated the day of the match?
(sorry)
actually, it’s p i s s.
“cut out soda,”
Works great. I feel hella better since I cut out sodas 4 weeks ago.
Fruit juices? Why?
<- Im gaining weight, not losing it.
I love fruit juices. (Dole, juicy juice, minute maid… ect…)
It’s hidden sugar. People don’t think about it, but it’s calories. And calories count, especially since most people are drinking it because they are thirsty, not hungry.
Water instead.
Fruit juices = Ok if you are gaining weight?
I love my juice. 
I drink lots tea as well. (green tea)
Eat lots of lean protein. Eat lots of carbohydrates.
Hell, if you want to gain weight, eat everything in sight! 
Yeah–don’t need to worry about it gaining weight.
“Yeah–don’t need to worry about it gaining weight.”
Thats what I like to hear!
Mmmm… Flan…
I try to eat as much as possible. Since I started the whey, Ive actually been making gains of ~1lb a day. (after weight fluxuations)
Since I’ve went on the whey I’ve noticed a weight gain, but it’s levelled off. Also, I recently gained 10 pounds in two days (!). Actually most of that was due to fluctuation - the first weigh was right after a long day of working out/training, while the second weigh was 3 hefty dinners later…

The below may limit your interest in this thread but for those times when you need to limit your calorie intake, but just HAVE to eat… plus ummm…clean yourself out, try this:
1 lbs of fresh spinach (I prefer baby. I’m a snot, so sue me.)
2 T of minced garlic
8-12 hot green peppers. I like thai bird, jalapeno or serrano.
Heat a large pot (or wok) over high heat. Add about one tablespoon of oil in the bottom and around one-half teaspoon of salt and the garlic and peppers. Saute and keep from burning. Just as the garlic starts to slightly brown, add the spinach. Stir a bit to coat (I use tongs). Pull off the heat just as it starts to wilt. Cover and allow to sit for a few minutes. You should have a not overcooked spinach dish.

Too the above…
Add equal parts of Sesame seed oil,Soy Sauce and sugar/vinegar,serve hot or chill

Common misconception. It says Olive oil, which is actually good for you so long as you don’t fry the crap out of it. It’s not a saturated fat, like animal oils, so therefore not bad. [/B]
Olive oil is around 92% total fat and 11% saturated fat. 1 cup of oil is around 250 grams, or around 27g of saturated fat and 220g total fat. That’s a lot of both considering lean beaf is only around 5% total fat and probably around 2.5% saturated.
Olive oil is good, but I don’t like soaking my foods in it. I use about a table spoon for stirfrys.
There is a right and a wrong way to fry foods,frying has got a bad rap from people using the wrong methods when frying.
The best way to cook a Turkey is to deep fry and steamed french fries taste yukie.
CHili
1 can of tomato puree
1/2 cup spring water
1/2 lb. ground beef or turkey
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup. chopped green pepper
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Prepare the puree and water by heating and stirring to mix the water and puree and set aside for the moment.
Using a teflon pan on medium heat, brown the meat then add the onions and let simmer until the onions are half clarified then add the peppers and the remaining spices. Add this to the purre and water mixture and stir it in.
Simmer it for 20 minutes while stirring at a low-medium heat, add salt and pepper to taste and there ya go. Pretty healthy, no oil, tastes good.
cheers
KL,I’ll have to try that one,do you ever add beans to your chili?
Well, you can join the XEBBY DROPA POUD SHOW

Chicken with Chili and Cucumber.
One large cucumber, peeled seeded and diced.
One large Chicken breast diced.
1 tsp chili and garlic paste.
1/2 crushed small garlic clove minced fine.
3 1/4 inch slices ginger, smashed.
2 tsp light chinese soy
1 tsp chinese rice wine, OR, since it’s a pain to get unsalted, 1 tsp dry sherry or gin
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp Peanut oil
2 T chicken stock mixed with about a 1/4 tsp of cornstarch or arrowroot starch.
Combine chicken breast, light soy and booze of choice. Set aside for 15 minutes
Heat a wok over very high heat. Just as it starts to smoke add 3 tsp peanut oil, the ginger and the garlic. Stir fry for 5 seconds and add the chicken. When chicken turns white and is not quite done, add the cucumber and all remaining ingredients EXCEPT the sesame oil. Bring to a strong simmer or starch will not properly thicken the dish. When chicken is done and cucumber is still crunchy but obviously warmed/hot through, pull off heat. Add sesame oil and combine thoroughly. This is CLEARLY cantonese.
Suggest correcting seasoning here. I like a little more salt, usually and a swift light grind of black pepper.
Serve with steamed rice. Or not. Whatever.
I think a couple of the flan recipes I just posted are low fat.

Note,some people from Texas have a brain storm and add tatters
to their boil,this makes the shell on the shrimp slimey and hard tah peel,if ya got to have tatters boil them in a different pot and pour the stew over the tatters.
Does anyone else think that ‘Recipe for Arsekicking’ sounds like a prequel album to ‘Appetite for Destruction’?
tn- you could put beans in, but the above without the legumes is much leaner.
cheers

Make your dressings yourself so you know what’s in them. Balsamic and a little olive oil go a long way, as do oregano, lemon juice and olive oil, or white vinegar, a little mustard and olive oil. Use much much less than you think you need.
Could you give some idea of proportions for these? (particularly the one including oregano). I’ve been trying to find a dressing that’s actually palatable to me, with very little luck so far.
