What's super about eggs?

Avocados

I literally eat an avocado every single day. I like them so much that sometimes I can't resist and eat a second avocado. If I had to pick one food to have for the rest of my life I would choose avocados. I fucking love avocados. Sometimes I make my own guac and eat it with different things. Sometimes I make salads and add avocado slices. Sometimes I put avocados in wraps. Most of the time I just eat the avocado straight up. Sometimes the avocados won't even be ripe but I eat them anyway since I love them so much. I love avocados. I planted an avocado tree in my back yard. I live in the north so I will probably die but it is worth a shot. I really like avocados. I eat them everyday

Apple skins are high in antioxidants. Bananas just have a bit of potassium.

>>42432409
its good for your heart in moderation so if its a superfood I wont feel guilty after a eat a whole bar.

>>42432283
The only superfoods that are actually superfoods here are almonds, avacado, bananas, spinach, quinoa, and sweet potatos. Hell, if you ate only those you'd be set for health and you'd make some nice gains, too.

>>42432333

I cut a bunch up and roast them in the oven at 400F until they're soft and leaking syrup

Microwave for like 10 minutes, this method keeps the most nutrients, cook longer if you want a more caramelized taste. This is the easiest method.

boil for 5 minutes, put in oven at ~220C for 15-20 minutes. usually i'll coat with olive oil, fennel seeds and thyme before i put it in the oven.

The quantity of bananas in this world is insane.
But they are indeed a superfood. Give you enough energy to go and make you happy.
Indeed they make you happy.

Eggs have everything we Need to gain. Needless to say something else.

Superfoods are supposed to be good for you.

>>42432409
40 gr. dark chocolate (above 70% cocoa) will rise your bloodflow at least 10%.

Dark chocolate better than Viagra. If there is a superfood, then dark Chocolate

>>42435140
Well egg yolks must be an ultrafood then because they are super good for you.

I eat eggs almost every day and bananas as often as I can because they're just fugging delicious.

>>42435447

>blood has got to be pretty good for you in general

Your own blood is good to have. Ingesting something else's blood isn't so good. The article mentions that it's rich in iron, but that form of iron is carcinogenic. It's one of the reasons red meat is considered a probable carcinogen associated with colon cancer.

Superfood is just a marketing buzz term. It literally just means food that has some sort of nutritional value and isnt complete trash for you.

>>42432283
Banana, Egg, Peanut Butter, Spinach, Sweet Potato.

Those right there are 90% of my diet.

>>42432409
When you read stuff like 70% dark chocolate, it basically means the rest is sugar. So when you eat white or regular chocolate, you're basically eating sugar, which is bad. But on higher percentiles it actually becomes a healthy thing. Personally I eat one 85% piece everyday

What are some /fit/ approved peanut butters? I love crunchy.

It means the (((people who control the media))) have invested money into the production and procurement of these foods, so they're trying to convince you to buy more of them.

Actually there are two types of cholestorol. One type is bad for you, the other type is used for testosterone boost. Cholestorol is only bad for men once they reach their middle ages and produces less T.

Chia seeds. Just put a spoon in a 800mL shaker, add water, and you already have your super food for the day.

> how do you guys prepare your sweet potato?

Roast it in the oven for about an hour at 400F or pop in in the microwave for 5-10 minutes

> when do you eat it, relative to your workout time

Nutrient timing is a meme. Just try to eat a meal or a big snack with some carbs, fat and protein somewhere between 1-3 hours before lifting and 30mins to 2 hours after lifting

>>42441832

>where are you going to get Vitamin B12 or Riboflavin

Any and all food contain riboflavin. B12 is best absorbed from milk, fortified foods, or supplement without giving you anus cancer.

No it's not dumbass. You're getting a second hand source if you drink milk. It is more bioavailible in herbivorous animal flesh like grass fed pork or steak

>Plasma vitamin B-12 was associated with intakes of increasing amounts of vitamin B-12 from dairy products or fish (P for trend <0.001 for both) but not with intakes of vitamin B-12 from meat or eggs. For the same content of vitamin B-12, intake from dairy products led to the greatest increase in plasma vitamin B-12.

http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/71/2/514.short
>These plots suggested that the vitamin B-12 in supplements, fortified breakfast cereal, and dairy products may be more efficiently absorbed than the vitamin B-12 in meat, poultry, and fish sources. At least one other study found a stronger association between dairy foods and vitamin B-12 status than between other sources and vitamin B-12 status (22).

Fuck "superfoods". I love how every few years a new "miraculous" vegetable or fruit is found to be incredibly nutritious.

We've known the Nutrition Value of every food humans eat for a long time now. I usually don't mind marketing but it's so obvious with superfoods.

>>42442207
it would be very artery clogging

>>42442275

Superfoods aren't so much about nutritional value as they are health value. Blueberries for example aren't considered a superfood because they're an amazing source of vitamin C, but because they're so dense in those bluish/purplish pigments called anythocyanins, which we're only more recently beginning to understand the health effects of. Dark chocolate as well, while it does have magnesium and other minerals, is more prized for those dark, powerful antioxidant pigments.

Which superfoods are best for cuts and which are best for bulks?

>>42438974
no sugar added; any brand

>>42432333
I bake a ton of them on Sunday, and serve them for lunch all week with quinoa, spinach, and a fried egg.

>>42432283
Also my favorite "cheat" snack is dark chocolate covered almonds, and I have a banana with PB every morning for breakfast. Oh, and salmon is my most common dinner protein [with broccoli on the side]. Apparently I have the "superfood" game unlocked.


>>42441853
Fermented foods contain b vitamins, or you could just spread some vegemite on toast once in a while.

>>42441813
Cook it into a grain or other dish, it shrinks a lot, and is much easier to eat that way. I also sometimes make smoothies with spinach, protein powder, and bananas. Adding a little citrus fruit or berries will completely get rid of the taste.

>>42433499
Berry farmers?
What region?
i got a friend who grows some of the biggest blackberries you've ever seen, I go pick them every summer

What about kale and broccoli

>>42432333
they are shit tier in calories though. you have to eat like a pound or so to hit like 600 calories

Blueberries and spinach everyday. Eggs and almonds at least four days a week. Life is good.

>>42432283
Beans with rice. Dry weight 350-400g of beans with 180-200g of rice all mixed in a giant bowl. I used to eat potatoes but I can't stand them anymore.

It's just water. There's so little nutritional value that it shouldn't even count as a serving of vegetables.

You can add a touch of maple syrup if you're feeling fancy

I've only cooked it a few times, but in a frying pan, I cooked an onion to caramelization, added diced sweet potatoes, once they were soft added some canned black beans, seasoned with only cinnamon. I was cooking for some vegetarians, so I wanted to include the beans as a bit of protein.
