CheekiBreeki Style Nutrition

[CheekiBreekiFitness]

Following @alek I'll log my food intake here. Mostly for the selfish purpose of making myself more compliant with the diet, as I have a tendency for gluttony, but we'll see. Also to remember recipes. Anyways here goes.

Average weight 94 kgs, currently slowly losing weight, targetting 2200 kcal and 180g protein a day. I like to skip breakfast for cutting but it depends on the day too. By convention, all carb sources are weighted uncooked.

Pad Krapow Gai (https://thewoksoflife.com/thai-basil-ch ... ad-krapow/): 300g chicken breast

I've made a version of this a few times using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I never thought to use ground chicken!!

Here's the recipe that I use: Spicy Thai Basil Chicken (Pad Krapow Gai)

Looks better than mine honestly, I think boneless chicken thighs taste better because they are more fatty, but unfortunately I can"t find them in the supermarket, so ground chicken breast is sort of a quick and dirty fix.

Also committed a sin and made a huge swiss roll with vanilla cream and blueberries. Same as https://teakandthyme.com/strawberry-swiss-roll/ but but with blueberries. I like blueberries better than strawberries. Note for later: use at least 1 kg blueberries. After tasting, I do not repent my sins.

Made green tea (macha) cookies stuffed with mochi and white chocolate. Very nice and surprisingly easy to make. Used this recipe https://teakandthyme.com/matcha-mochi-cookies/

This looks good.

I am still gradually trying to warm up to mochi (I hear it's good for carb-loading).

Is it the texture ? I guess there are not many western foods that have this kind of soft chewy texture. In terms of taste I find it very neutral, almost no taste. For cookies it's nice because you have this contrast of a chewy thing inside a crispy thing. It's good in donuts too, like a donut filled with mochi balls, very nice. As far as nutritional properties I'm not sure it's very different from a plain old bowl of white rice (to make mochi you just microwave water + sugar + glutinous rice flour).

Could be. I think I was expecting a bit more firmness.

It was store-bought. The box was mostly purple, though I don't recall what "flavor" it was supposed to be.

I tried it out to avoid the time it takes to prepare rice, as sort of a quick, no-prep shot of carbs in case my eating schedule gets thrown off before lifting.

Definitely makes sense to me as a cookie ingredient, probably because of the texture contrast.
