    London broil, WTF is that?

    Really looking for some good small 500cal meals. My target is 4k cals a day and I divide it between 8 meals @ 500cal ea. So, some 500cal meal ideas would be nice.

    No better protein snack IMHO.

    Also, get some BCAA caps, or make your own and supplement them between meals.

    London broil is a very lean cut and somewhat affordable. Personally, it is the only beef "staple". It is similar in location on the animal and in texture to brisket, which is the cow's pectoral muscle. The difference in the cuts being that the flank (London Broil) has a very defined grain, so while it's not a tender piece of meat, by cutting across the easily visible grain after cooking - it becomes easily chewable without the high fat/marble content of other tender cuts. This becomes an even better on-the-go choice if you marinate it in some sort of citrus (I like lime/chilis/cilantro/garlic) as the acidity does not tenderize the meat itself but creates enzymes when combined with our own saliva to break down the meat quickly when chewing. Let's recap: Marinate, broil, grill, or pan sear, cut against the grain, Tupperware up, and never eat beef jerky again.

    Lean deli slices of turkey rolled with pureed avocadoes/salt/pepper/diced tomatoes and mixed greens. Easy to scarf. High pro/EFA. Whole grain tortillas if you must.

    fat free mayo, fat free italian dressing, 1 can of tuna and meat of choice (i use a vegetarian meat replacement that looks like a burger patty,) if u work physical job add two slices of bread,

    1 LARGE SALMON FILLET (the one u get like 4 portions out of it and u buy in the fish market or the meat sections, no frozen bull)

    bake in oven sprikled with olive oil, onion chopped on top and lime for 20 min, cut some lettuce, red pepper, onion, add dressing of choice and put into a wrap, and makes for about 3 or 4 big fajitas

    Yeah, you gotta use like 4 slices for sure, 1/2 an avocado. It's a good, clean 30g of pro.

    Another one I do a lot to take to work with me is lean ground turkey sauteed with lots of fresh herbs onions, carrots, and celery. Then I mix that with salted, steamed cauliflower. It reminds me of a comforting home-style meal, though it's quite the opposite. Ultimately quick/easy to down. Umm, let's see.... some other good ones:
    -O*mega-3 hard-boiled eggs with smoked salmon and whole grain mustard- this meal is jam-packed w/ pro and good fat.
    -Cold Veggies w/ Hummus and chicken grilled with coriander/cumin/oregano/paprika. Chop the chicken, mix into Hummus (ideally made with EVOO and natural ingredients) and then use raw celery/brocolli/carrots to dip. This is a really good portable snack. Again, it's got more of what you need than just protein. Probably my favorite.

    I get really into my diet as a hobby but you don't have to. If all else fails, roast beef and sliced turkey breast is perfect for pro-on-the-go.

    Damn, a bit harsh aren't we Baseline? You never specified which mayo or bread types here...aren't there bad one's? Hmm, yes. As far as the milk/cottage chesse goes, once again- good milks, bad milks. Plus who the f*ck wants to drink clumpy ass milk? Sensible= appealing to the senses.

    Now, back to adulthood.......

    ok

    semi skimmed milk

    whole bread

    blend the cottage cheese as i said in my OP ^^^


    sorry that i need to explain in so much detail for you, asumed tht you may be able to make sensible choices on the food types tht i suggested, ie not white bread, or gold cap milk
