The Low fat, Low* carb, 100+ Grams of protein 30 minute make shift meal!

So your busy chugging along your day, and forget to prepare a meal (or two), and you want to eat properly, keep your macros in check, and continue to build muscle, but have little time to work with. Its a common thing for everyone in a semi active lifestyle. So I figured to help you with my ace in the hole, I'll share one of my quickest protein packed meals that is both filling, satisfying, albeit different. Just bare with me when you hear the ingredients. Scroll right to the bottom and check out those macros if you don't believe me!

Are we back? Good, now that I got your attention.
I start by getting a nice pot of water and set it on the stove, preparing to boil. While that's working I get a baking sheet, hit it with some non stick cooking spray, and throw 3 pieces of pre-packaged tilapia on it (about 4 oz each), season it with a pinch of steak seasoning, garlic and onion powder, and drizzle it with honey mustard, top em off with a pinch of bread crumbs and your set. Pop it in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes, and your good to go.

Remember that pot of water, that should be boiling? Yea, that's where it may get weird. because one of my favorite sides has quickly become Egg Salad. Its full of flavor, packed with protein, and depending on how you make it, low on everything else. I use Miracle whip light to add taste to my egg salad, but light mayo works too. I only use 1 whole egg (for texture), the rest I only use the whites of the boiled egg.

Serve it up with some 40 calorie per slice bread, toasted, and you are now ready to eat one of the fastest 100+ grams of protein on your life. Enjoy.

Big Eats: Just in time for labor day, This Protein packed meal is big on flavor and under 600 calories!

One certain in life persist for me, I love big flavor. I cant think of a better excuse to get big flavor then during the holidays. You have an excuse to fire up the grill, flip your brain switch to "cave man", and gorge in public without getting too much attention. I didn't have my grill handy, but this meal just screamed summer and I had to share. A Big Guy Tip strait from my kitchen, to your stomach.

I have two rules i generally follow (most of the time): Eat clean and eat simple. This one falls closer to the simple decree. It doesn't get much easier then meat and bread. I started out with a package of Gianelli Sweet Italian sausage on a non stick pan fired up and lightly coated with some Non-stick cooking spray, you can substitute it with a different sausage if you like. Just make sure its not too many calories if you want the full effect. Slice a a whole onion in the pan to let the flavors soak in for onion goodness.
the secret to the calorie restriction is the bun. I choose Sara Lee 80 calorie Delightful hot dog buns which i find the most not cardboard tasting and quite good compared to other low calorie buns.

Once fully cooked and slapped on bun, 2 of these bad boys are about 580 calories. With just under 50 grams of protein in the meal, its sure to fill you up and keep those gains filled.
