Just made chicken quinoa bean paste. Slow cooked with 5 lbs of chickoon and 600 g of carbs. Will last ~2 days

Should I get 4 chalupas from taco bell or make brown rice + chopped up hot dogs

Option 2 þbh

Just looked up macros of quinoa. 9g/cup seems low, no?

>>35672730
I don't regard it as a reliable protein source.

I'm most satisfied by carbs. I'll often have A) one meal that's mostly carbs B) one that's carbs + all of my daily dietary fat C) two that are carbs + protein D) one that's pure protein (usually something like whey)

That works for my appetite. Keeps my stomach happy. This was an example of A.

Well sure carbs make everyone happy...but do you hit your macros? Man I could eat pasta all day every day

Sure. People overestimate how much protein is needed, though. I'll take 0.65g/pound on sedentary days and push it to 0.80-0.85 the 3 or 4 days a week I run 10 miles each. Easy.

Once that's covered, I just get the fat that's necessary for hormonal functions/vitamin absorption and the rest is carbs.

I love pasta too.

Go find Fiber Gourmet pasta.

2 oz uncooked (56 g) : Calories 130, Fat 1 g, Saturated Fat 0 g, Trans Fat 0 g, Cholesterol 0 mg, Sodium 120 mg, Carbohydrate 42 g, Fiber 20 g, Sugar 2 g, Sugar Alcohol (Polyols) 0 g, Protein 7 g

It's the best nutrition profile I could find for pasta (unless we're counting Miracle Noodles or stuff like that made from seaweed). Just 130 cals. Yeah it's 42g of carb but 20 of that is fiber.

Pic related is that serving size that I made for myself. Load it up with veggies and you're good to go - I could have pasta every day without it hindering me.

Am I the only one who thought it said /cunt/ general on first glance? Tell me I'm not alone

>>35673229
I could eat that every day I love me some sweet taters.

A single Quest bar is something like $3 now :( Both too good to give up.

>>35673505
$3 for 20g protein
why not just drink a shake?

>>35673580
There are quest bars that have like 20g protein and 14g of fiber.

Pretty damn god tier.

The protein is just an extra benefit.

Look at it. Just look at it. It's delicious as fuck.

The Cookies and Cream flavour is to die for as well.
