Well, as most of you will know cooking nice tasting food while on a fairly strict fitness diet can be fairly hard, so what are some tips you guys can give? I've got a couple:
*Herbs - lots of herbs. Easy way to add flavour without adding any calories. I'm in love with a bit of garlic and rosemary on everything from brown rice to chicken breast.
*Instead of fries, get some sweet potato cut into wedges, then roast it in the oven. Tastes a lot better and is so much better for you (they contain complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, beta carotene (a vitamin A equivalent nutrient), vitamin C, vitamin B6 and help stabilise blood sugar levels).

Full Version: Cooking Tips
Steamed skinless chicken breasts sweet potatoes sprouts herbs low fat dill sauce yum having that tonight.
Thread revival! In the kangaroo thread somebody was having a whinge that kangaroo mince tastes like crap, but I've perfected a recipe to make it taste absolutely delicious. The recipe has been made up to be gluten free (I have coeliac disease), if you want to swap the brown rice for breadcrumbs you will have to change the quantities.
You will need:
*1kg kangaroo mince
*two cloves garlic
*two rosemary stalks or a good pinch of dried rosemary
*100gm (thereabouts) of puffed brown rice.
*2 large eggs
1. Pulse the brown rice in a food processor (you will have to separate it into two lots as it takes up heaps of room) until it's a powder. In one of the lots add the garlic and rosemary, make sure it's a fine powder.
2. Chop your onion very finely.
3. Add all ingredients into the bowl, eggs last.
4. Make into patties/meatballs/rissoles (depending on their use)
5. Cook until well done (rice will go very dark, it's not burnt though).
6. Serve on burgers, with gluten free pasta, by themselves, etc.

I've always wondered what i could use instead of breadcrumbs.
fuck, i never thought of sweat potato chips.
Also try drying them out in the fridge for a few hours and shallow frying them in peanut oil.
I been eating tuna like a dolphin
Home made fried rice basmati, with some deli cuts, peas, not much oil, garlic then throw a can of tuna in the bowl after you serve it.
