What are some good spices/flavoring that I could add to my meals?

Hey guys. I've given up protein shakes altogether because of digestive issues. I did put on some good size but I was chugging weight gainers all day and it really didn't suit my body. I've decided to bulk up by getting my macros through whole foods. I have all the whole foods I need.. Chicken breast, Tilapia, Ground Beef, Mixed Nuts, Sweet Potato, Brown Rice, Peanut Butter etc etc. The problem is, I won't be able to stick to this diet if I'm eating boiled chicken breast with plain Baked Potato all day. I need to have some flavor to my food otherwise I know the diet won't last. Can you guys recommend some spices/flavoring that I could add to my chicken, fish, beef, and steak to make them taste better?

Also, are there any other whole foods/tasty recipes you'd recommend for bulking up?

Thanks
 
With the abundant amount of recipes available online, it is hard to figure out which ones are best for your diet and exercise plan. Meal planning helps you determine what food you will eat during the day. The advantage to a good meal plan is that it helps you calculate the total amount of calories consumed within the week. The total calories can be used to determine how many pounds of fat you will lose after the week. This also allows you to set a timeline for weight loss and fitness goals.

Breakfast Recipes

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating breakfast allows you to feel full even hours after consuming the meal. Breakfast also energizes you, so you do not feel tired in the afternoon. It keeps you from overeating during lunch, which can lead to that exhausted feeling in the mid-afternoon. Planning a breakfast meal involves making the right choices. Avoid sugary recipes that create sweets and load up on unhealthy carbohydrates in the morning.

Stick to breakfast meals that consist of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Eggs are good for protein, but avoid too many foods with saturated fats, and speak to a physician if you have any cardiovascular disease. Grains, fiber and fruits and vegetables are filled with the nutrition you need for the day. Do not forget a morning multivitamin. They can provide you with any vitamin content you may miss during your meal planning.

Planning Healthy Lunches

Whether it is for your kids or for yourself, a healthy lunch is a good way to fill up and replenish your energy for the rest of the day. Some people eat at restaurants with fellow coworkers. Eating at restaurants kills your budget, and it is hard to find the right meals that help you meet fitness goals. Pack a lunch instead, and plan each lunch for a lightweight meal. Fruits and vegetables are good lunch time meals. They give you more energy, and don't give you the "food coma" after you have eaten the meal.

Be Careful with Dinner

Dinner is the one meal where people overindulge. Some people starve throughout the day - avoiding lunch and breakfast - and they find themselves overeating during dinner. This can lead to unintentional weight gain and frustration for people who want to stay fit. Eat a light, healthy dinner and make sure you don't plan meals while hungry. Some dieters eat the largest meal during the morning and eat the lightest at night. This avoids heavy meals before you go to bed.

Planning meals helps you maintain a healthy body weight, and it also keeps your caloric intake within the plan you set out for your dieting goals. Always provide yourself with enough high-energy meals that keep you motivated during the day, but avoid fatty meals such as red meat, sweets, fried and fast foods. Some recipes can help you plan for healthier meals, and it can save you money in the long run.
 
I love tilapia and salmon.....try this;

Tilapia; lemon juice and grey pupon

Salmon; lemon juice and paprika

Pre-heat the over to 325...mix up the lemon juice & mustard in a tupperware dish, toss in the tilapia & coat, slide in the oven on foil for about 20 minutes

For the salmon do the same thing just replace the mustard with the paprika
