holy shit that's a lot of food

[cryptonomicon]

This is my first week on my new (first) bulking diet, holy shit is that a lot of food. Any tips on minimizing the amount of time I spend preparing food? Like, maybe I cook a whole week's worth of chicken breast and brown rice on Sunday, then just nuke it to warm it up? Other tips? What do you do?

Basically about it, just prep what you can for the week.

You'll get used to it bro... It becomes a lifestyle after a short period of time and you'll never look back. Keep it up!

I always have pots full of barley, brown rice, and oatmeal; plates of cooked yams, chicken, turkey burgers, london broil etc ready to eat in my fridge.

Glowalla's fridge sounds a lot like mine! It helps if you have plenty of variety to minimize the temptation to cheat. I usually just cook a couple pounds of meat at a time so that I can switch it up. I've eaten nothing but chicken for protein for extended periods of time and it gets really tough to gag down another chicken breast.

I do all the cooking on Sunday, grill Chicken breasts, for the week, steam the veggies, put about 6 in the fridge and the rest in the freezer, the night before during the week--- :bbq: i return them to the fridge for the next day, seems to work good so far.....

Sunday bar-b-q = meat for a week! & don't forget about 10-minute rice bags. :D :bbq:

The instant rice is actually the bad kind I believe. Best way to go is to buy a shit load of long grain brown rice and cook a whole pot, that should last a day or two...It does for me anyway.

I buy cook 30lbs of chicken and 10 steaks on Sunday night to last the week. I end up making a pot of rice every day and I go through about 10lbs of veggies. YOu will get used to it.

:agree: Stay away from anything instant. Instant means its already been processed which alters the way your body absorbs it. It also usually strips the food of things that are good for you. Stick with the old-fashioned long cooking brown rice. I bought a rice cooker so I don't have to sit and watch it on the stove and that works really well.

You mean the Minute brown rice i buy isnt as good as the brown rice that takes 20 minutes to make. Well that just sucks ass! That shit is so fast and easy to make, are you sure there's really a difference? i mean, its still brown rice afterall. Let me know please.
