I'm chowing down on my salad I made up called "Sunflower Blast Salad".

Eagle Eye View

Side View (To show depth)

What's in it?

Ingredients:

2 Romaine Hearts
2 handfuls of sunflower seeds
2 handfuls of onions
1 chopped jalapeno pepper
1/3 cup of bell peppers (red, green, yellow)
1/3 cup of cucumbers
1/3 cup of strawberries
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup chopped brazil nuts
1/3 cup chopped almonds
4 tablespoons of flaxseeds

...last but not least, nearly 3/4 cup of extra virgin cold pressed olive oil.

Now it's YOUR turn!

Drinking a Red Bull (needz my Taurine).

Next: cashews, then a simple salad of organic lettuce and carrots with some sugar-free dressing.

For lunch I fried some swordfish (yea I just picked it up randomly from the store) with some streamed carrots and green beans. It was weird, I was hyper after the meal (although it was probably my Red Bull I had then) biggrin.gif

Hey there iPod!

Hmm, I LOVE cashews, but unfortunately where I went grocery shopping last night, they only carry cashews which have been roasted in vegetable oil, so I skipped out and bought other nuts listed above.

That's awesome you tried swordfish today, what did it taste like? Was it tasty?

They are my new addiction. I bought a container of them and went through it in 24 hours!

Didn't taste that different from normal fish. I fried it in an excessive amount of olive oil so it was drenched, and added plenty of salt 'n' pepper. You should try it sometime!


BTW your salad looks wicked! Strawberries and onions?! You're brave smile.gif

Omg, I can relate with the cashews! When I buy the cans (I'm assuming that's what your muching on them out of), I literally eat the entire can in one sitting, which even in the small cans, is over 1.5k calories! biggrin.gif They are strangely addicting, but they are an excellent source of minerals.

I desperately need to start eating more fish, it's almost pathetic that I haven't had any in so long.

And about my salad: Thanks! It truely is incredible how GREAT it tastes, it's almost like a dessert. I find the more I satisfy myself with this salad, the less I get cravings for junk. (For example, my parents are ordering pizza tonight - I'm not even slightly inclined to give in for some reason!)

Oh, and I know the mixture of stuff sounds weird, but when you taste it, it tastes so well together!

Hate to be a nitpicker, but you shouldn't cook with olive oil, or any other oil that contains mostly unsaturated fat. They quickly go rancid when heated and not only do you lose the health benefits but this also causes some effects detrimental to health. I would use coconut oil or butter next time.

Good thread idea, So Cold. I will try and participate in it sometime.

@jaymac: Wow, that's a lot of food! I'm assuming your doing a dirty bulk?

@Healthoid: I didn't know you were eating bananas, I thought you'd always avoided them, and potatoes because they are starchy. How is it affecting you as a strong protein type? Also, I've go to your website daily, I can't wait for you to finish your Real Acne Cure book.

As for me - I'm eating the exact same thing as yesterday biggrin.gif

I'm thinking I'm going to go to the store and buy some fresh salmon today.

Keep 'em coming guys!

Yeah I normally avoid bananas and potatoes because they are too starchy. My metabolism can actually handle the carbs fine these days, but...the starch is not so good for my digestion. I probably won't be eating too much of that stuff again, back to non-starchy vegetables and fruits for me biggrin.gif .

The book is coming along....real life is getting in the way a bit, but I am getting back on track biggrin.gif .
