    Nice WSM reference on the mattress plug lol love the meal prep plans you have, currently trying to save up to get the key equipment i need to start doing it myself. As a 33 yr old with bad spine and leg injury I'm gingerly trying to exercise more and eat better to get healthy, so having a good solid idea of how much food this will make, the calories involved, the macros, etc is definitely needed to make sure I'm getting enough energy from my food vs. what I'm putting out in my job (retail) and training. Keep it going man, looking forward to more!

    I don't particularly use your recipes for gaining or losing weight, I just like your taste in food. I made this recipe for me and my roommate yesterday, and even though I didn't have a big enough pot for all the ingredients and had to cut down a bit (mainly just by not adding chicken broth) it still turned out delicious, especially the next day. You've saved my wallet and my body from the terrors of fast food, and I'll always be a fan.

    great meal! something to keep in mind however is that beans actually suppress your appetite, making the meal harder to consume. i’d suggest swapping some or all of them with broccoli, boiled eggs on top, and/or parmesan cheese as it is a very high protein cheese.

      So basically you are bulking and cutting, my man, dont do that, you will just end up adding too much fat, and you will have to cut for a good year if you dont want to lose those muscles you built under. You cant lose more than 1% total bodyweight per week if you want to keep muscles provided your protein intake and macros are accurate. If you want muscles just add a hundred cals over maintenance and start with that, track what happens in a month progress and adjust slightly.

      I started with a really small frame with zero lifting experience, so my body weight/strength/size shot up. I’m also focusing on powerlifting right now so eating more than 100cal surplus is good for me. Trying to build the big lifts up too.

    I just found this out recently, but if you lower the power level of the microwave to say half and increase the amount of time for heating, you don't need to stir. I freeze mine so that turns out to be about 10 min for half the power, but if you don't freeze them, you can just make a circular space in the middle of the food and heat normally and that way everything will cook evenly.
