Recipes

Friday dinner out at @koonthaikitchen I had the Tom yum crispy pork noodles, may be my new favorite there as we as the wings for dinner. Lunch was a sirloin steak and eggs. Late afternoon snack some homemade beef jerky. The @nxptfit workout was free flow and I started with the barbell and then moved to cardio. Between the mile at the gym and 4 miles walking there and back i did hit the 2k+ step goal @garmin has me at right now… Which isn’t easy to do. Bost battery still at one today, which hopefully bounces back with only some light errands.

Recap for yesterday 1/16/2025 Started the day with a great workout. My Garmin is telling me I am overreaching still, with a training readiness score of 1 every day since Monday. I’ll have the weekend for recovery and likely won’t workout again till Tuesday. Lunch was an omelette, inside is leftover chicken from the day before and some Gouda cheese. On top some herdes salsa. Afternoon snack was a jalapeno beef stick. For dinner I went out and had a Philadelphia roll and garlic edamame (shared) and then went nextdoor to the taco shop and split an order of chicken rolled tacos with my wife. I wrapped up the day with a double scoop protein shake. I am pretty consistent with sleep. Aiming for the 10pm-6am timeframe and got an 84 sleep score. Now it’s time to head to the gym again on this Friday morning! Let me know if you want me keep posting these or if I should just go back to the occasional food post.

What I did in a day, food and fitness Yesterday was cottage cheese, beef jerky, a @questnutrition peanut butter cup and pad Thai with extra chicken. I got more questions about the PB than expected, so I’ll say it here. These quest cups are better than Reese’s flavor and texture, the macros are a given… I have these in my Amazon a subscribe and save. The pad Thai is from Costco, and I just added some chicken breast to get to a daily volume of higher protein. Water intake was solid, hit electrolytes a second time on the evening and had one Ghost energy drink. Over 10k steps, solid morning workout. My Garmin says I am overreaching but I have goals! #whatieatinaday

Make everyday a bit better. Super high protein lunch. Eggs. Beef sticks and a protein shake. Diner was a baked chicken breast with red sauce, mozzarella and parmesan, alongside brussel sprouts. I also had a @questnutrition bar as a snack, and some @kingsburychocolates dark chocolate after dinner. Stayed super hydrated, probably over 200oz of water, a ghost energy drink and a coffee. I have been doing 16/8 fasting and still getting my walking to the gym and workouts in. I admit this photo of me is actually this am, not yesterday, yesterday was a video to the BBQ and fitness accountability group, so didn’t snag a photo. Do you wanna see more posts like this or keep it to stories?

Sourdough pizza Sourdough pizza crust, a bit of olive oil and @spiceology pizza seasoning for the first layer, followed by smoked garlic, marinara, and parmesan cheese around the crust. For toppings I added pepperoni, salami, and diced up beef stick. It par baked for 5 minutes before adding the fresh mozzarella and more parmesan on top. This was done at 450 in the oven on convection bake. No fancy pizza oven here. Crispy crust, full of flavor from the sourdough and the seasoning, toppings and fresh mozzarella all shined through. The recipe and flour used were from @kingarthurbaking and have worked really well now a few times. My only addition to their process would be to add a bit of stretching after the dough is mixed, divide and shape to help with dough strength and then let rise.

Quick and easy chicken tacos Low carb tortilla loaded up with some chicken, guacamole, lettuce, cheese and sour cream. The chicken is Costco rotisserie chicken, shredded and warmed in chicken bone broth, some taco seasoning and @herdezbrand chipotle salsa. Guacamole is avocado, @spiceology guac and roll, fresh lime juice and some of the same salsa. For lunch today, a large salad with mixed greens, shaved Gouda cheese and more of the rotisserie chicken. Didn’t photo that one. The goal is to get the diet dialed in to start the year. The BBQ accountability group @scaleandtailor started is amazing and inspiring me to lock in!

A grilled take on Chicken Parmesan Grilled chicken breast topped with @raoshomemade and fresh mozzarella. Served with prosciutto wrapped asparagus, grilled broccoli, and garlic buttered, Parmesan sourdough with a little extra prosciutto. Saved a few calories by going grilled vs fried on the chicken. I don’t feel like I am missing anything. If you read this far. Thank you for your support. Looking forward to more great food; and pushing myself just a little more in the gym next year.
