Pasta topping

[PlimoMan]

Trying to bulk up, what is a good pasta topping for a pro/carb meal?

Skip the pasta.....

Make some grilled chicken over brown rice with some tomato sauce and fat free Mozz.

ditto, skip the pasta.. rice, potatoes things like that..

If you are bulking and want to use pasta, then use a low-fat sauce with your pasta and include a lean protein as well w/the meal.

It's what I do anyhow.

Take a tin of italian plum tomatoes, put in a pot with salt, pepper, oregano and a touch of sweetener (bring out the flavor of the tomatoes). Boil for 15 minutes then at the end throw in some fresh basil leaves. Delicious sauce with virtually no fat.

I know pasta is not the greatest, but I run out of ideas and get tired of the same ol thing, so I try to use it a little. I use brown pasta and just a little with a chicken breast or tuna. I even make a meat sauce using turkey instead of hamburg.

Who cares if you are bulking.

I don't that's for sure, as if your amounts are correct and you are using them PWO, you have very little (if anything) to worry about.

I might stay away from the pasta if your already eating heavy. Pasta bloats me like a mofo quick. From time to time I'll treat myself out to italian and get pasta though. I don't make it a habbit though. If you're doing it at home get to your local wharehouse costco/price club and get yourself some of the "Homestyle Pasta Sauce" they have. They only have 2 brands so it won't be hard to find.

I went to Olive Garden today on my way back from Anaheim.

I had an apple martini, a lemon drop martini, fried calamari, salad, 4 breadsticks, fettuccine alfredo w/grilled chicken, and a huge piece of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake w/2 scoops of ice cream.

That was some good eatin'!!!!!!!!

Thats about a full day and a half of calories.

Yeah, it was! To make it better, I had McDonald's w/my wife and son on our way out of Anaheim. Bacon/egg/cheese biscuit/hash browns, egg Mcmuffin/large coffee. Then at night when we got home, we said "f*ck it", and had Chinese! Chicken chow mein, orange chicken, egg rolls, and mongolian beef.

Two huge protein shakes thrown in between all this stuff. Man that was a fun day.

Today my cardio/diet down begins, so that was the last free for all day, hence me eating so much sh*t. I never get to eat like that in what I do, so it was a nice change of pace, and should make fat loss VERY easy. I didn't gain much fat at all though suprisingly!

The highlight of my days lately is my tuna with mayo, and some peanut butter. LOL

God Im jealous!!!

IM DEDICATED THO!!

[SwoleCat]

Yeah, once I say "diet time" I am totally dedicated too, and there is no junk/no errors/no slip-ups. It's great because when I begin to utilize my eggs/steak/veggies/flax oil/etc., my body changes ULTRA-QUICK.
