@Ryan. Lol, the chicken is already cooked. Like almost everyone that lifts and takes their diet seriously, I cook a huge batch of chicken each time and keep it refrigerated for when I need it. Then I nuke it. It would be a massive waste of time to cook each chicken fillet from raw every time you needed it.

I have 2 “lean gains” diets: MANS and GLAD. This is a GLAD meal, it’s not for MANS. I also said, no carbs in your post-workout shake i.e. dextrose powder or any sugar. This is a solid food meal within 3 hrs of finishing that shake.
GLAD diet is here: https://musclehack.com/the-new-bodybuilding-diet-glad/

Im missing something. If you only allowed 30 g of carbs a day.. your done lol

@Andrew. There won’t be an actual JnR intake, but I am thinking of releasing it as a book at the end of the year.
@Chris. MANS and GLAD are equally effective for adding muscle without adding fat. So it’s a personal choice depending on what suits your lifestyle and preferences more.

@Richard. You’re right on. Or Cauliflower cheese and steak is awesome, too.

Remember you’d be having 40g protein in a shake immediately after the workout. So within 3 hours of the workout ending, you’d have had a total of 70g.
@Alan. I mention this in the article. This is to be eaten within 3 hours after having the post-workout shake (there are no carbs in the shake).

I am currently on the MANS diet at the moment. Do you find introducing more Carbs like on the GLAD is better for muscle/strength gain? I have read alot of info on your site about how high fat/low carb is good and I tend to agree with this and other sources. GLAD is quiet different though, and I wondered if you find advantages/disadvantages with either diets? Also do you use a particular one to achieve different results? Personally, i have low carbed for a while and my energy levels are good and my strength is good (apart from this morning when i failed on deadlifts……..but we have those day i guess) and I constantly increase reps. Problem i find is i am not increasing in size to match my strength. Your feedback would be much appreciated and if any one else has thoughts on this I am all ears.

Cheers

Chris

What was the total weight of the couscous? How many carbs were in that portion?

Nicely done mate! We really appreciate the updates and for myself, although I do not count calories, there is nothing like experience and instinct to get into great shape.
This combined with your tips are really taking their toll on me and I am in the best shape of my life at 42. (6’3″ 225lb 12% fat) Thankyou and best wishes to everybody following Mark

There are exceptions as to where the meat comes from on the animal how much work the muscles have done etc..(some red meats are 25% or slightly higher, some white meats are 20% ) but if you use this method you will always be covered for your protein goal. So in that instance I would say 200g chicken would be closer to the mark (200g x 15% = 30g protein)

More protein (and I’m wheat intolerant). There are some wonderful quinoa mixtures that aren’t too hard to prepare.

You could also go Scottish and do oatmeal and your veggies in a sheep’s stomach. Have you seen how big those Highlanders get? And my last German Shepherd Dog really seemed to bulk up on green tripe.

When’s the next intake to JnR?

Have you tried quinoa in its place? Look it up. 😉

So to get 30g protein, you’d need about 120g chicken.” I didn’t know this, how awsome is that, thanks mark, makes my life much easier.

I make a lot of this on Sundays for my following week’s workouts. I’ll use organic teriyaki sauce (but light, just enough for flavor), with some chunks of chicken or beef. If I find some on sale….I’ll use shrimp. Fry this up with broccoli, brown rice and quinoa. Mmmmmm!!

I often have rib-eye steak with broccoli and lots of butter or olive oil. Or homemade cheese burger and broccoli.

I thought your reccommendation was that PWO carbs were not needed. Or you were referring to immediate PWO and this is further down in time?

Regards,
Alan

Your meal looks great, very similar to what I eat post workout except I have twice as much chicken. So post workout you only eat about 120g of chicken? As I go for about 250g of chicken or even more. Thats not too much?
