The scrambled eggs recipe tastes great, but is dam filling. Had to force myself to finish it today compared to the usual 3 half boiled eggs for breakfast. (With 3 slices of bread and a cup of oatmeal).

What I like to do with my scrambled eggs is mix in a tin of tuna with 3 or 4 eggs and cook them together. Then a light drizzle of olive oil on them when they're done gives it a nice touch. And it's really filling as well.

Ok, I wanna add one tip here - take beef as often as you can up to once or twice a day. Beef is fantastic! Mr Olympia, Jay Cutler swears that he couldn't gain any muscle mass without beef.

And my reaction when I read that was the same as what some of u guys are thinking now, "Ok, beef is great. But not many places sell it. I'll just take eggs or chicken as a substitute." I gained 5kg in 1.5 yrs when I'm in KL.

Then when I came to Singapore to study, Singapore has a beef eating culture, so I tried taking beef & I found out how wrong I was thinking that chicken and eggs could replace beef - I GAINED 5KG IN 2.5 MONTHS!!!!

SO GUYS, TAKE THE EFFORT TO CONSUME BEEF!!

I m staying in the same house with my brother in law, and he is a hindu and therefore i cant cook beef at home T.T

Yeah, beef is better than chicken because it has more creatine in it...

- added smooth strawberry dream for those that have no whey protein

yeeck, beef's creatine content is minimal. You need to eat a LOT of beef to make up for 5g of creatine. If u are looking for creatine supplementation, I suggest taking creatine monohydrate, CEE, Creatine pyruvate, blah blah etc.
I'd stay with the basic - micronized creatine monohydrate.

Regardless, beef is a great source of protein and good fats. especially the grass fed variant (which can be bought here for cheap)

beef is great! taste good, easy to prepare.
i`m having ribeye steak twice a day. hehe

Wow, just bumped into this thread. Ken86, u rawk bro. Thanks for your thread here, I believe you've helped so many peeps out there.

I've got a similar list like yours but lost it when my 2GB went kaput. Lolz.

Last time when I was really into this, I cooked at my workplace 'cause there's a fridge + electrical cooker [ but I hate the cooker 'cause very the leceh to control the temp ].

But then I lost the drive because the fridge only got enough space for me to put a pack of 4 chicken breast, a bottle of milk, and some brocolli + baby carrots [ 'cause the fridge is used for business purposes lolz ].

Ken86, I'm thinking of buying one of those smaller electrical ovens, but the max temp I see is either 300, or 350. How can I cook one of your recipes that require higher temp?

- added TASTIEST guilt free banana ice cream. I think avocado will work as well but pending some experimenting.

- added glycemic index post

ken, this thread is a nice mass gaining tips and tricks. How about cutting or losing fat tips and trick ? Or maybe pre contest preperation. For sure many are interested in this.

just noticed this thread
good job ken!

would be great if you could include for people who wants to lose weight and burn fat

thanks!

simple , very very simple

caloric expenditure > caloric ingested, you lose weight.

Let cardio and diet do the fat burning portion. Continue to train at a high intensity (e.g intensity = % of load, different of intensiveness) Lift intensely - intensiveness and lifting heavier things - intensity.

good thread. i just noticed. i used to be underweight for the last few years until past few month. but i have 1 problem, to eliminate stubborn fat at my belly. very stubborn one.
i'm 165cm and 60kg now.

- added protein bar om nom nom nom and fortified version for the featherweights

mass recipes? grilled RED meat with black paper sauce

Hi all, I'm underweight and skinny (178cm/56kg). I read first post and feels like mainly taking more raisins to gain weight & mass. Is this a good way?

Thanks.

Hey Shinichi,

I think I mentioned walnuts (basically any nuts - almonds, macadamia) with raisins (craisins aka dried cranberry works as well)

Thanks ken86.

Any brand for Raisins do you think is good?
As for nuts, walnuts/cashews/almonds is kinda high cost for me. Are those cheap peanuts workable too?

Are calories all we need to gain weight/mass?

Do you mind to recommend me healthy and low cost diet for weight gain?

Thanks in advance

made a mistake in my earlier days of gaining weight.
ripped and fill up at the same time which takes me forever to reach my goal. altered program half way.
should've just fill up, then, cut from the start... lesson learned

thanks a lot for the tips, ken
