Sorry had to be "that guy" this time. But this is a good topic to be "that guy" in. Lol.

Bacon.
Pizza.
Spaghetti.
Top Ramen.

Too lazy to think of other things I like right now.

Eating a giant bowl of ramen at 3 in the morning. Livin' the dream.

This thread is relevant to my interests. My specialty would be paleo-ish foods. Without going into a rant against grains and the standard American diet, let's just say that I basically do a high-fat and relatively low-carb meat and green veggies diet that has helped me lose and keep off about 20 pounds. A lot of eggs, too. Limited dairy. Some non-paleo supplements for convenience and affordability's sake (whey protein). Though a few weeks ago I actually started eating white rice as a post-workout meal due to it's cheapness and density (I heard it's a relatively safe albeit empty starch that doesn't have all the nasty gut irritants and phytates that wheat and brown starches have). I'm into using almond flour as well, though I try to moderate my almond stuff to about three meals a week as to not be so reliable on grain replacement treats. Okay. Anyway...

Here's a highlight list of my favorite specialty meals (aside from the basics like grilled chicken and broccoli, grilled pork chops and broccoli, grilled steak and broccoli, eggs and bacon, whey protein/almond milk/blackberries post-workout drink, etc):


Giant omelet: 6-8 eggs, one pound of beef (like a cheap and probably CAFO grocery store flank steak), a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and spinach all cooked in coconut oil

Pumpkin almond flour pancakes: 1 cup ground up plain whole almonds, 1/2 cup almond milk, one egg, half cup of canned pumpkin (plain stuff, not the pre-made pumpkin pie mix), cooked in coconut oil.

Bacon almond flour pancakes (I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be that guy... I legitimately make these and enjoy them on the occasional high-fat non-workout days): Same recipe as the pumpkin ones with with an extra egg and six slices of chipped up bacon instead of pumpkin. And cooked in the leftover bacon grease instead of coconut oil.

Almond flour pizza: similar batter to the pancakes but with some herbs, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese to make the crust. Plain tomato paste diluted with olive oil and spices. Shredded regular bagged cheese. Whatever toppings you want... Friday night I made an almond pizza with fresh pineapple and bacon... it was amazing. But extremely dense in calories as you would imagine. It was the first time I did an almond pizza since my birthday... they're not practical to eat on a normal basis, but are at least relatively "safe" from my perspective.

Relatively okay cookie dough bites: been making these more often than I should, and definitely going to be making a bunch for Thanksgiving... for these I melt about five tablespoons of coconut oil on the stovetop and then pour in a cup of almond flour with vanilla extract (and also vanilla whey protein for flavor LOL). Then I spoon out balls of the mixture onto some wax paper and place it into the freezer for about 5 minutes. Boom. Cookie dough bites.

Toasted coconut: If I ever need to feed the sweet tooth, I'll take a ride to the Amish bulk food store and buy a container of unsweetened shredded coconut. Then I'll head over to the honey aisle and buy a cute little (but horribly expensive bottle) of raw, unfiltered honey (yes it seems counter-intuitive to buy something unsweetened and then add sweetness to it, but I'm not a fan of the grocery store coconut that is sweetened with white sugar). Then I'll go home, throw them into the skillet in arbitrary amounts, and then pour it into a bowl after about five minutes for a delicious treat.

Coconut chicken- basically just chicken breasts marinated in unsweetened canned coconut milk and thrown on the George Foreman. Moist meat with a subtle taste of coconut.
I've also done deep-fried coconut chicken... tenders rubbed with egg and unsweetened coconut shreds, dipped into a vat of coconut oil. Extremely high calorie and high fat. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.





Okay. Maybe I'm a little too into diet and food. But I like my food. This thread is fun. Food is fun.

burger king double bacon cheeseburger...XXL <3

Mashed Potatoes and Hamburger slopped up together in a blender with ketchup and salt is my favorite meal of all time!

You make the Mashed potatoes first. Then you chop up a pound of meat really fine. Then you mix the 2 together and use a blender to really mix it up good. Then add some salt and ketchup and you will have my favorite meal of all time!

I just had a Chinese tonight.

Rick.
