Easy Lean Gains recipes??

[thewolf49]

Anybody have them?

I was thinking about 3 cups brown rice mixed with a pound and a half of 90/10 ground beef with some cheese mixed in....

any others?...ones that don't take a lot of prep/time.

also, I'm trying to lose weight/fat....how much whole milk can I safely consume? As long as it fits my macros is it ok?

[thewolf49]

no one?

I drink a shake on work days

6 ice cubes
1 cup oats
1 scoop hydrolyzed whey
8 strawberrys
1 cup hood calorie countdown milk
1/2 cup water
2 tbls pb2 or 1tbls nati pb (depends in cals wanted or needed)

[02sixxer]

Non workdays I eat 2 cups rice (any kind, brown or white), two eggs, and 1/2lb ground turkey 85-100g carbs and 60g protein. Easy and taste ok too.

You can do 1 cup rice when watching carbs.

Another easy pre meal is

3 peices Ezekiel bread or two muffins
Topped with (3oz each) chicken and spinach a lil omega 3 mayo and mustard.

what about the whole milk question? If I'm trying to lose fat, can I still drink it?

depends on ur plan. if ur going low carb , keep it to a min. but if ur just cuting cals , y not as long as u have cals to spare.
i dont drink milk at all. havent for a few yrs

[thewolf49]

So as long as I'm below maintenance calories...I'll lose weight no matter what I eat? (with a good proportion of macros)

[murk01]

yes sir.... but if u fill ur cals with crap.. u will lose muscle weight + other minierals and shiit in ur health. thats the point of macros.

(LG )+(-500cals ur mantainance) + (1g protien per LBM)
is all u have to do to cut

SO if u eat a half of cheese cake to make up ur cut cals u will still lose weight (fat and muscle )

cut cals . keep macs good and most of the weight will be fat..a little muscle to.. but thats the game

[thewolf49]

So I can drink half a gallon of whole milk and I'd be good then!? haha

[thewolf49]

I do love milk and it's cheap and convenient...

Ever since I got my job out of college I've put on 50lbs...wanna lose that and get back into my workout routine I had in school.

5'10" 225lbs

Goal is ripped 180 ish

[murk01]

try going to a keto low to no carb. lean gains will be to slow. how long u been doing LG.

ur bf is in up 20s or more im guessing. low to no carbs and weight training would prob be alot quicker. or mix it with lean gains. im lossing a ton of bf real quick this way

[thewolf49]

I need my carbs though, I feel like **** without them. My performance also suffers at work when low carbing it. I'm going to try just eating below maintenance and see how far that gets me. Just wanted to make sure whole milk wouldn't screw me. I'm weight training every day.

and while I'm cooking my omelette ill just eat 4 oz ocean market frozen tilapia w/ boston bay seafood seasoning

I realize the off day meal has a little more prep than you might like, but its pretty easy to cook up rice and a bunch of chicken one night a week. And the sweet potatoe can be made in the microwave in 5 minutes.

As long as you burn more calories than you take in you will lose weight.
