So in order to fuel my body to be able to work out as much as I do, I want to eat healthy, caloric dense, protein packed food of course. I’ve got my fair share of recipes to follow but I’m always looking for new things. Especially since I don’t eat meat which can make the search for new protein filled and cheap recipes somewhat difficult.
But whenever I go online to look for stuff, the healthy things always seem to focus on weight loss or containing as little calories as possible. On the opposite side of this you’ve got gym bros who advise rating (vegan) fast food to keep up with caloric needs. But the thing is, whenever I eat a veggie burger at McDonalds I feel shit within hours despite it having enough nutrients. It’s mainly because the ingredients used are shit as well. Processed garbage versus my usual lentil pasta that I eat for lunch.
Eating healthy is not just losing weight. It can be gaining weight or maintaining weight as well, but that seems to not be the point for many blogs, vids and articles.
I’ve thought about making a big ass soup with everything you need but I think I would want more variety in my food eventually lol
Don’t scoff at soup though, there are plenty of varieties that incorporate the perfect balance of fat, carbs, and proteins, such as New England Clam Chowder. Also a simple beef of chicken stock can be varied immensely based on what carb (legumes, beans, rice, pasta), vegetables, spices, and meat you decide to use. Chicken noodle soup, rice and meatball soup, bean and beef soup; all from the same stock.
