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

Found a pretty wicked tuna menu. Plan to try it out XD~

Ingredients:

1 can (7 ounces) tuna
1 small package (3 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 ripe mashed avocado
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco or similar pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 pints cherry tomatoes
Preparation:

Drain and flake tuna. Cream together cheese and mashed avocado. Add lemon juice, chili powder, salt, pepper sauce, Worcestershire, and tuna. Refrigerate to chill thoroughly. Wash cherry tomatoes and hollow out centers. Turn upside-down and drain well on paper towels. Fill each tomato center with a heaping teaspoonful of tuna and cream cheese mixture.
Makes about 40 to 48 appetizers. Keep in refrigerator until serving time.

What's the nutritional value on this? Looks good. Would probably take it without the tomatoes tho.

I just found it on some web site, i think i can stuff in 1 can of tuna in 4 hemisphere so.. i guess it should be around +-35g of protein all together with the cream cheese, and no idea on the fat level should be quite high and good for no carbs meal (especially those fat from avocado) XD.

Plan to do it for my prebed meal drool.gif

tuna recipe looks good. im up for anything with cream cheese in it! reminds me of a similar recipe with eggs - whole hard boiled eggs, mayo, black pepper... mash it all up together and eat! yum yum

Finally tried out the tomato with tuna and cream cheese, not the full ingredient, i dont have the Worcestershire sauce and the pepper sauce, so ... instead i use coarse pepper and 3 huge tomatoes and top with cheddar cheese and roast it in the oven.

How'd it taste like?

The tuna taste is mild and very cheesy, cant really taste the avocado, can taste the chilli but not spicy and little sourish. Very nice, but still, up to the very last piece the fat content is too strong for me, felt abit "geli" lol.

Ken, i would like to know wat do u think of starn's carb cycle thinggy, as he consume carbs through out 5/6 meals out of 7 meals (high day high carbs low protein and vice versa) and as christian thibaudeau's cycle is like squeezing that carbs intake in 3 meals in which on high carbs day, the postworkout has like 170 -180g of carb, and i m wondering if thats too aggressive for post workout to spike the insulin and causes fat gain (as 180g of simple carbs) ? And as for starn's diet, throughout the day he consume carbs, so does that mean we will cause unnecessary insulin spike or we just consume low gi carbs to stabilize the sugar lvl ?

high carb days raises body's insulin levels, fill glycogen stores, keep the metabolism revving and stave off muscle catabolism.

No it is not aggressive, it's high carb day man! Carb intake causes insulin secretion, insulin blunts fat loss by deactivating HSL.

If u cycle correctly and you are trying to add some muscle weight, some of it is gonna be fat and all we can do is do ensure minimal fat gain.

Shelby starnes recommends consuming ur carbs early in the day and PWO and spread it out evenly. This works well ESPECIALLY when during a fat loss phase,

picture this

say PWO meal (fat loss phase)

shelby starnes recommends something low GI to appease ur appetite and keep you full longer (you will understand when you are in your final weeks of dieting and staying less hungry / staving off hunger pangs is essential to prevent you from having that extra cookie)

Compare this

45 grams of protein
60 grams of carbs

and

A similar PWO meal of whey protein + simple carbs in a shaker. Which is more "filling" ? this is all about volumization and this is especially important when u are dieting for fat loss.

When you are bulking and there is a caloric surplus, I'd say both methods works very well.

Ultimately both works, but regular feedings of carbs during high carb day as opposed to a PWO shake of whey + waxy maize starch will be much appeasing.

Thx for the wonderful explanation. I m currently doing my bulking, so the number of carbs kind of paranoid me for while lol. Now i totally understand, i will readjust my high day with regular carbs intake and the rest of the week (no carbs, medium carbs and low carbs day) with protein + simple carbs. AND with the picture that u have shown, tats totally one kick S PWO. XD Thankx alot buddy.

No, it is not sufficient, tat serious mass wont do any good. Too little protein. Google up "bodybuilding bulking".
