Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Meal 3
NO carbs
Only leafy Greens, Tomatoes, and a nice vinaigrette on your salad.
Also in this Meal I will make it very Protein Heavy. So if you typically have ONE chicken breast, Have 2 instead.
There is just something about a huge "pulse" of Solid Protein at the end of the hard day that extremely Anabolic, and I have not found out why yet.
Its also convenient for you since this will be the most difficultly meal to make.
ALSO One Dinner should be Read Meat, the next Fish, and the one after Chicken or some other meat.
So Every third day have a Healthy dose of RED MEAT,ALWAYS

lets do dinner boys.
salad just how omega would like it.

first I would like to say recipes are not as hard as you think they are. If you cant find something at the store just step out and ask some one.

1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 shallot, minced
4 teaspoons tarragon white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon leaves or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups torn mixed baby greens such as red or green oak-leaf and Lollo
rosso lettuces (available at specialty produce markets and some supermarkets), rinsed well and spun dry

In a large bowl whisk together the mustard, the shallot, the vinegar, the tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Add the greens and toss the salad well.

You can add chicken or steak to this.

for a easy chicken breast just do this.
take a few breast put them in a oven pain. squeeze some fresh lemon juice
over them. sprinkle some sea salt,rosemary, and some pepper on them and cook them on 375 till 165 degrees.
you can cook up shit loads of chicken like his in advance for salads.If marinate
them over night they taste even better.

For steak go to a bulk store like bj's sam's and buy "flat meat" cut it all up and
marinate it in a healthy vinaigrette.place it in zip lock bags and freeze it for when ever you need it. A good bag of flat meat will last you a month and it only cost 50-70 bucks. the vinager in the vinaigrette will make the meat tender and soft the longer it sits.

Let me start by saying thanks for your input. You did hit on some of my concerns. I did not realize that the eggs would stay good for that long. Thats going to be a life saver in the morning. As for the oatmeal I will swap between that that the whole wheat bread. That should allow for a quick exit in the morning. You have to understand that only my body is up that early not my mind. Sometimes I'm surprised I even make it out the house fully dressed. Even the guys at work avoid me till after my second cup of coffee.

Knowing what I could prepare the night before for the morning was always a problem for me, I guess I was over thinking it. Your ideas for lunch are in line with what I do now so not many changes there.

My big issue was actually timing of the later meals (prework out nutrition, post work out nutrition, dinner, and the before bed nutrition. My days are pretty easy to accomadate but from 6pm to 10:30pm I have trouble understanding how to fit all of that in with 1.5 hours of that at the gym. It seems that everyone works out earlier so that there is enough time to fit it all in, but not me.

I have also enjoyed about 6 of your meals and a few of your protein drinks that I had picked up in the past from some of your posts. Just keep them tasty and a little cajun twang is always welcomed.

Thanks for your help

Like I said in another post on the aas forum. when buying food think about this.
If it comes natural as in the same way it came of the tree,out of the ground,of or out of the animal then is is low in sodium.

If it comes in a bag, in a box, in a jar, and it has been altered by man then its high in sodium.
Buy all your food fresh and in its simplest form. cook it your self and you will never have to worry about the salt content. just omit salt on recipes like the chicken recipe I gave before.

If you ask me for something specific like a low salt spag sauce I can do it no probs.

Just remember if you want something low salt or just the way you want it make it your self. Any thing pree made by the store is almost always high in salt and or no good for you.

that makes sense

Like I said in another post on the anabolic androgenic steroids forum. when buying food think about this.

Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

What kind of meats are we to use in the sandwich? I'm not sure what is considered roasted and not roasted. Also you stated that red meat is key every 3rd day. Does that mean we are only allowed red meat once every 3 days? Most of my lunches are usually made up of red meat.

ask ?? to the butcher or any one making your food. If they don't know learn it for yourself. make your own roast and slice your own meats.

Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

If you make it yourself it saves you money and you know whats in it. I can give some good recipes for sandwich meats. give me a bit.

Here is a good question for you to enlighten our members:


How do we make our own roast beef cuts FOR a sandwich?


I mean... Whats is a good cut of meat to buy? How do we cook it? Whats the best tool to use to cut it into thin slices?


It would be really cool to make a batch of roast beef for 3-4 meals thru the week... Maybe use the same cut of cooked beef for different Sandwich/Snack recepies!!!


Also: As Needto said, when YOU cook your own roast beef cuts. You can make sure they are low on sodium or fat or whatever since you have the control of the preparation, and not a corporate owned food plant in Missouri.
