It seems like almost the perfect food for a body builder that isnt trying to avoid carbs. If I were alot leaner I would eat a cup with every meal. But I think i'm going to at least add a cup to my post workout meal right after my pwo shake. Possibly a half cup for breakfast when I dont feel like oats.

I love couscous but can't say that I eat it all the time. I'm riced out. I was eating brown rice alot on bulk and officially hate it now haha

I was walking down the aisle today at Jewel and noticed some couscous, never seen it before nor would I have noticed had I not read this post earlier in the day. It's basically small grain rice isn't it? That's what it looked like anyway...

just FYI I bought some turkey burgs

and some turkey dogs (cheese filled) as "junk" food for this weekend

my wife tells me its technically not rice. I dunno , dont care. After reading the macro's i'm sold. I dunno if it comes in different forms but the shit i'm eating is wheat.

couscous is technically a pasta bro, but like you said, who cares. what brand is it?

 

[burnthiscorpse]

I dunno, she gets it out of the organic section that you scoop out yourself and weigh the bag.

yea i get the whole grain.... the macros arent bad.... it's definitely not equal to a burgerking burger(puke!)... haha

couscous is fuckin delish! my grandmama used to cook that with basil and all kinds of good spices and i think a tomato base , shit man i never have seen a wheat cous cous tho.. might have to mix that with some ground turkey chili would probably be good on a bulker/cruise
