Lets talk about soy and Tofu.... Deathly afraid of it.. Read it causes cancer and Tofu when eaten over a period of time has been known to cause brain atrophy..

I read the cancer comes from a few reasons but one of the reasons is the high temp alkalai solution beans need to be treated so they can be consumable, plus as a guy I dont need the extra estrogen...

I read about the soy danger about 3 years ago and was bummed because I loved soy milk and preferred it over dairy milk used to eat it with my cereal and protein shakes, took me a while to get used to dairy again when I ceased the Soy... Always wanted to try tofu but again am scared of what I read about Soy..

Any thoughts from you guys and gals?

I find tofu disgusting, so no worries here. Not much into soy either.

Far as the steaks go, yea, I suspected that was the case. I'm guessing top round is the same as inside round? Giving up a bit of taste eating it, but nothing some Franks Red Hot Sauce can't fix.

WTF

That depends on how you cook 'em man. Imo, they're tasty, delicious, and very nutritious.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs carrot, sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

1. 1
   
   Steam or boil carrots in salted water for 10-15 minutes until they are tender-crisp and drain.
2. 2
   
   Heat butter, honey and lemon juice in a heavy skillet for about 2 minutes or until hot and bubbly, stirring often.
3. 3
   
   Add carrots; cook uncovered 4-7 minutes or until they are glazed, stirring frequently.

Pac is right,Tofu done right crushes,done wrong,yuck

Correct.... Tofu is a byproduct of Soy. Its the curd... So you are at the same risk eating Tofu as you are drinking or consuming Soy

Your at less risk from what Ive seen,from Tofu then you are from Dairy Products,including steak,and unless your a rabbit,youve got to eat something

I'm not training at the moment just sparring.

But there are a few things I'm eating that are keeping my weight down, I'm actually nice and trim because of these foods.

I made a dish yesterday.
Atlantic Salmon darnes fried in lemon and extra virgin olive oil.
They were the business!
Had some whole wheat pasta with em and a side of potato salad.


No need for any fatty sauces because of the lemon.

How to eat well
Italian marinaded chicken
A lightly buttered Asiago Bread
Honey glazed steamed carrots
Green Pepper with a honey dijon sauce

That was dinner last night,and I was the cook,no eating out
Light on the carbs,mid realm on fat,lots of vitamins(allways steam your veggies,or eat them raw,you lose vitamins if you boil them)

Sounds good!!!

A cheap and easy hony dijon sauce
And trust me,you can dip almost anything in this,and it tastes like heaven

One tablespoon Heinz Spicy Brown Mustard
One tablespoon Guldens mustard
3 Teaspoons honey

Stir it up,,and dip cheese or raw veggies

Enjoy

When I was training for asthetics or even MMA, a friend of mine who is a pro bodybuilder and personal trainer taught me that his nutrition success was predicated on making his body a science project... He was willing to pay the price of eating at the expense of getting the results he needed even if it was tasteless and bland..

When he hung out or did the night life or etc, he had a cooler full of bag of salad, boiled chix breast, hardboil eggs raw baked potato... he just ate to give his body what it needed.. Without regard for flavor

So at times in my training i did the same thing just to get the results I needed.. And looked forward to my cheat day on Sunday were I splurged and ate the wings, pizza or burger.. while still making sure I ate the healthy calories I needed

Boiled chicken is meant to be the business.
It's also reputed to be tasteless though.

I basically do that too, JT. Have cheat days. Except with no regard for calories. Will eat a whole box of chocolate chip cookies! Endless pizza pops! Ice cream sandwiches until I can barely move! Cream Soda pop! lol

Much as I like eating that stuff though, I really do feel a difference in my body almost instantly. I think I have trained my body to expect good food, and now when I do eat lots of that crapolla stuff, I think it sorta tries to tell me..."Dude...wtf?!?!"
