bulking grocery list...

[steve0]

it was just a list man, things to get AT the grocery, not on the way home
and its a lean one, not a sloppy one.

i hear ya Nova i just havnt been on in a while so im giving you gus a hard time, but seriously try having a few blizzards

[novastepp]

haha i probably will, no doubt. when i am bulking or trying to add mass ... if some friends are like let's go to... YEAP! ok i'll drive.

and dude, don't have to apologize ur a good guy i know it was all in fun man. hell, i would understand ur slight aggression since i'm so cool.


it usually pisses people off

[spound]

BUMP!! I had to look this thread up so I can print out my grocery list now that I can eat again LOL

[novastepp]

haha i used it when i bought food too. haha

sweet potato basically is a yam. the yams i get here are called sweet potatoes, they are the orange looking taters.

sweet potato is NOT a yam. different species, and they look different. in the US they call sweet potatoes yams, but i have no idea why. those "yams" that people eat for thanksgiving are in fact sweet potatoes and not yams. real yams are usually a lot bigger than any taters i've ever seen. however, they are both tubers.

i'm in culinary school. had to say it. lol

thanks for bumping taht rediculously old thread of mine. and yeah we all know they aren't the same. but here in america if you buy "yams" you're buying sweet potatoes. just had to say it.

Does everyone still have the same grocery lists? Anyone ever do egg whites? If there is a McDonalds in the grocery store does that count?

are you serious?

[novastepp]

wow. good info just not from #47.

i do eat those same foods when bulking. list is greatly reduced for cutting though.

[Only_Patience]

Haha well obviously I was kidding.. But as far as bulkin ive found a bic mac or two one a week doesnt hurt.. I use to be a hardgainer and found eating everything in site helped even if it wasent the best food sometimes.. 2 scoops weigh.. 2 tblespoon PB.. 2 eggs.. and 10 oz. of milk is great bulker esp. before bed and PWO

fast food is only a substitute for bad preparation and a lack of discipline.

[Only_Patience]

Ha um no.. Actually if you were someone who was eating 5 to 6k cals a day of all the right foods its good to shock the system.. Lack of discipline are you kidding? If I have the discipline to eat that many cals a day and get all my carb/protein/and cals I think that would be the least of my worries seeing as I eat/sleep/breath working out/eating.. so please stop "assuming" anything

I agree with this.

i eat more than that when bulking and i don't eat fast food. and maybe you should rest more seeing as you don't eat sleep and breathe that.

[novastepp]

and by "shock the system" what do you mean? and where does anything or anyone say that eating crap food is beneficial?

[novastepp]

this is also something to think about...

People go through life taking a lot of things for granted. How easily they could eat whatever they want, when they wanted. They live life on the surface—they don’t try to see below it. When others see a slice of pizza or a burger, they’re thinking about how good it tastes. They’re looking for satisfaction, gratification. For me, when I see food, I see two things and two things only. I see bricks and I see shit. Each good food I eat, well, it’s another brick in this mother****ing house I’m building. I knew going in that it would take a lot of bricks and a lot of time. But if I eat that burger or drink that beer, well then I’m eating shit. It’s simple: You can’t build a house made of shit and expect it to stand up to the rain. With that first drop of water, you’re ****ed. So for me, every time I see a piece of food, I’m asking myself, am I building up or am I tearing down? Will my house withstand any storm or will it easily crumble?

well said, i will have to start thinking this way.

all said and done, it is hard to eat a clean diet for months at a time and at times even weeks (x-mas, thanksgiving, easter, 4th of july), its really not that bad to have a bad meal here and there, once a week for me and it keeps me in check the rest of the week. Now im not saying i go and have 3 dbl cheezes, frys and coke followed by a xl blizzard. It works for me, maybe not for everyone, but for me it does

[novastepp]

i like the way you approach your statement chitown. if your CNS is bombarding you with urges and stress because of your strict eating, then sure take a break. i always eat clean so that when my friends want to go out to eat or something i feel ok in doing that. i never ever schedule cheats and i use them sparingly.

also, as chitown says, do what works best for you.

[novastepp]

bump.

i keep using this thread to demonstrate my dietary choices when bulking. like i said earlier in the thread. choices are greatly reduced when cutting.

[PassiveGear]

Thanks for the list man. I got nothing to add besides what people have said.

[High-roller]

Are Crispy minis by Quaker ok?

[audis4]

once again, great thread nova!

Looks like the food that will be on my list come next week

[novastepp]

i figured i'd bump it... good list of foods there.
