OMEGA Blue Collar Diet

O

OMEGA

New member
Hello Elite athlete

As I have hinted before my views on diet are simple and basic, because I feel people OVER think their diets and end up getting frustrated.

Blue Collar = Simple Working mans diet.

EAT FOR LEAN MASS, no bulking here

This is what makes you lean and mean.

I also Believe MOST of us over eat, and that we can get away with a lot less food. Therefor I don't subscribe to the typical calorie formulations for diet, or even some of the popular principles.
Most of us have Desk Jockey Jobs so you more then anyone need LESS food.

Probably the most unpopular idea is that I DON'T BELIEVE in more then 3 solid food meals a day :)
Solid food by definition is a complex series of organic molecules and nutrients that TAKE HOURS to be hydrolyzed into energy and sustenance from Gut till intestinal clearance.
So it makes no sense to eat another meal when one have not been full digested and absorbed

the only time where you may supplement with additional forms of food are 3:

A) Post workout protein drink (prefect timing)

B) protein drink Before bed OR first thing to supplement Breakfast As I do.

C) Another used for when you get Hungry

So your diets should be 3 Solid Meals and 2-3 Protein drinks (liquid meals)


NOTE:
You can mix and match ANYTHING the diet
I used a TEMPLATE of Ratios below that I USE

so stay LOYAL to that and you can do anything you wish.:)



What I do:

Meal 1

3 Whole Eggs, 6 Egg Whites + 1 Protein Shake
2 Pieces Whole grain bread.
no fruit or sugars
(it is key to Soft Boil or Sunny Side up your eggs, you want the yolks SOFT to maintain some of the benefits.
Arachidonic Acid and other ingredients in the egg yolk are some of the most PRE and PRO Testosterone nutrients known and WILL amplify your Am Boost of Test that males get)

Meal 2
Basically a Sandwich ( the key of this meal is to Have those COMPLEX carbs as in Wheat Bread, and Leafy Greens and a serving of meat that is double a normal Sandwich, use Roasted meats only, not salty preserve meats)


Meal 3
NO carbs
Only leafy Greens, Tomatoes, and a nice vinaigrette on your salad.
Also in this Meal I will make it very Protein Heavy. So if you typically have ONE chicken breast, Have 2 instead.
There is just something about a huge "pulse" of Solid Protein at the end of the hard day that extremely Anabolic, and I have not found out why yet.
Its also convenient for you since this will be the most difficultly meal to make.
ALSO One Dinner should be Red Meat, the next Fish, and the one after Chicken or some other meat.
So Every third day have a Healthy dose of RED MEAT,ALWAYS
if you don't like fish, then have 2 chicken days and one RED meat day.

MEAL 4:
One Large POST workout Shake with Protein, Creatine, Carbs or any kind.

Meal 5: One Added Shake at any time in the Day or Night


Last but not least ALWAYS have 1 liter of water 1 hour before a workout, if you have not been doing this you will feel an IMMEDIATE benefit. Most Athletes are chronically dehydrated and don't even know it.

This all you need guys more then enough

Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Here is where I have my questions. I will list my schedule below
wake at 5:40am
leave house at 6am
leave work about 5:30pm
get home around 6pm
Relax for an hour
go to the gym at 7pm
get back around 830pm
relax and climb into bed around 10pm
go to sleep at 11pm
This is done from Monday to Friday
I usually go in later and leave earlier on Saturday
Now you see why 5 days a week is too much of a physical drain. Got to have a down day to catch up on sleep and rest.

I would love to see some kind of help with the timing. Breakfast is hard because I can not cook in the morning. I am also confused on the timing of the PWO drink, dinner, and a before bed drink. With my schedule thats a lot of food in a short period of time. Now when I am at work I do have a small fridge and microwave in my office.

I was glad to see that you do not have a problem with a few liquid meals. Do you think that the muscle milk drinks are a good thing or do you have any other suggestions.

After your reply I am sure that I will have more

Thanks
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

what do I do with the normal hamburger meat and the taco seasoning my amigo?

Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

This is so simple. I like this. I like this a lot. Starting it today.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Do we really need to eat fish once every three days? Is it ok to eat chicken or steak with some omega 3 fat?

Are there any scheduled cheat meals, or no?

use it for your chicken Breast( taco seasoning)

I found it to be the fastest way to season chicken if you need a Quick Dinner that actually tastes decent. Your a college student so i knew it would help you.

Basically get an oven proof Dish, Coat the top on the dish with Taco Seasoning, lay the chicken on top, Drissle Olive oil over it, then lay a coat of Taco Seasoning on top of that :)

bake for 25 minutes at 350

Hamburger was a cheap way for you to get Red meat Every 3rd day for Dinner

Just barbeque it.

Muscle Milk is OK if you must use it.
I would prepare your breakfast the night Before by Soft Boiling eggs.
Have 3 of them with Half a muscle milk and 2 pieces of toast you can BRING with you.

Lunch, get a Double Meat Sandwich

when you get home have you post workout Drink BEFORE you workout BUT dotn have Carbs with it( that the only way it will fit into your schedule)

then when you get home have Salad and double up on the Protein.
and also have some fruit or something light on carbs to reglycogenate your self from the previous workout.

Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Do the protein shakes work into our 1.25 amount, or are they just bonus protein?
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

yes it counts

also dont use LOW carb Bread use Real NORMAL multi-grain bread which may have 40 grams of Carbs per slice

non of this low carb crap
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Ok, here's where ya earn your fee . . . :qt:

1.) I'm horribly allergic to "gluten" (i.e. the protein commonly found in wheat, oatmeal, barley, graham, granola, beer, and protein bars). So, sandwiches are out. What would you suggest as a replacement?

2.) Meal replacement shakes (i.e. basically all whey/soy protein isolate beverages) give me migraines, so those are out. Again, what would you suggest as a replacement?
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

1) Get Oat Bread which States Gluten Free
OR brown Rice, so you will have a rice dish instead of Sandwich for Lunch

2)Powder Egg Protein is the best

Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

I work 7p - 7a atleast three days a week startig the 4 days a week until our little one comes in Janurary.

I do my days all in a row
first day wake up about noonish
eat breakfast
hit the gym about 3 pm get a PWO shake at Golds
come home cook something for work. head into work about 615 pm
we get our lunch break aroud 2-3 am depending how busy the ER is.
get off around 715 am and head home I try to eat something and this is where part of problem comes in. What do i eat at 730 i the morning. I try to hit the sack about 830 or so.

day 2 i get up arpund 330 eat something quick and high protien head to the gym if there is time and the same routine as far as eating goes

day 3 get up around 330 or 4 and eat something usually dont workout go to work and get off at 715 sometimes i will hit the gym knowing that i am not working the next night so i ca stay up a little later to eat something.


any suggestions on food and timing?

I do have time sometimes to go in the back and drink a couple of 1% milk in the school cartons. They have about 11 grams of protien each.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Question regarding the carb source in the post-workout shakes...

I buy and use this stuff called "FrescAvena" (Spanish) and its actually an oats beverage mix you add to milk. Nutrition for a 2 tbsp serving is 120 calories, 27g carbs, and 20g sugar. Top 2 ingredients are dextrose and oat flour.

Is this stuff suitable to use or should I just buy a tub of maltodextrin?
If its okay, how many tbsp's should I put in my shake? 2 tbsp = 27g carbs/20g sugar
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

As far as I am concerned ANY carb expect white bread, rice or Flour will do.


Keep Post workout carbs to 45-60 grams total
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

So this stuff is a nay then? What do you supplement w/ personally?

I've heard from numerous people that fructose will only support restoration in the liver and not restoration of muscle glycogen. Is there any truth in this b/c I generally use fruits as a pwo source as well...
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

they say its preferentially re-glycogenates the liver

but there are enough "other Carbs" to give the full spectrum of absorption.

It comes down for me just making me FEEL BEST, there is just something about a bit of real juice that feel so good, and it works best.

dont get caught up in myths/some science that demonizes fruit and juices

hmm no easy answer

I would depend on the Liquid part of the diet for when you know you can eat enough at work


Makes sure you pack alot of protien
( you biggest meal in the Solid Meal After you workout : within 3 hours) that should be enough to keep gains coming

Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Guys,

As far as I can tell. We can all use a little help with putting together some meals to go along with this diet plan... This is why I have asked our good friend "Needtogetaas" to chime in with some cooking tips...

FYI- Needto is our resident forum chef and specializes in cooking for the Bodybuilders... He is currently working on a full length report to help bodybuilders make our diet foods delicious!!!!
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Omega. I can help with a lot of diet problems as far as people who are stressed for time,money and things like that. I can also come up with a lot of recipes of all kinds. I just want to make sure I am not stepping on your toes and the meals and Ideas I come up with fit into your plain. So I will just start throwing some ideas out there for people and you can give them a ya or a na. I know this hole omega project is your show but when it comes to diet its always nice to have a master chef helping things. Also if you your self want me to come up with any thing let me know.

This is where I can help. First off I would like to say if a better body is what you want then you can find the time some where. I can see you have little to no time in the morning well check this out. Make all your meals in advance the
night before or even days in advance. Here is some hints.

Lets start with Breakfast well omega says sunny side or soft boiled. heck even
soft pouched eggs would be fine I would think. get some time and soft boil a few dozen. then put them in a zip lock bag. You can do up about a weeks worth like this and they will not go bad. Get up in the am and they are ready for you.

Ok now on to the carb. omega says 2 slices of whole grain toast. I am hoping he has no problem with you eating oatmeal. I know the good oatmeal, the kind that comes in the big tub can take a long time to take out get the right amount you need then cook for 5-10 mins. Fine take the oatmeal what ever serving amount you need and put it in the blender. give it a few spins and its now instant oatmeal bro. Take zip lock bags and bag up the amount you need
for the morning for as far in advance as you need to.

next post I will tackle the other meals for you.

ok lunch. omega wants lots of meat some good complex carbs and some good veg. No time to go out to eat,no time to even make the meal in the morning or night before fine. Fined a day you have some time or the night before. Make a huge healthy meal " I may post one later or in a bit" make sure the meal is all you need meat carbs veg. Now take disposable plats and make as many plats as you can. Take the plats place them in large zip lock bags and put them in the freezer. Pull them out as you need them. these Ideas will even work later when you get into micros because you can right the mics of the meal right on the lip lock bag for every meal.

one thing I ask you and others:

"are training is to never to be discussed EVER"


Deal?
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

2 Liquid Protein meals:
One POST workout ( with Creatine)
and one before bed of first thing in the AM OR as a snack.

In the Post workout add a powder carb source OR juice,
our workouts are hard and you need to re-glycogenate your Liver and give your brain quick fuel.
I also feel that when ever you can use fresh fruit rather then fruit juice.Its always better for you and it gives you the same glycogenate as a juice would.
please correct me if I am wrong omega my good good bro. so for post work out shakes this will work.
4 ice cubes
12 oz. pure pineapple juice
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup pineapple chunks

Pina Colada Passion
12 oz. water
4 ice cubes
3 scoops vanilla protein powder
1/3 cup Pineapple chunks
2 tsp. Coconut extract

chocolate strawberrie blast
1 to 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder
6 to 8 ounces of water
4 to 6 ice cubes
8 strawberries
Mix in a blender on medium for 1 minute. Pour into a tall glass. Enjoy!


Rasberry Chocolate blast

1 to 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder
6 to 8 ounces of purple gaterade
6 ice cubes
8 rasberries
Mix in a blender on medium for 1 minute.

Orange Creamsicle

1 to 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
6 to 8 ounces of Orange gateraid
4 to 6 ice cubes
1 to 2 peeled oranges
Mix in a blender on medium for 1 minute. Pour into a tall glass. Enjoy!


thats just a few guys I can always whip up some more.

Meal 3
NO carbs
Only leafy Greens, Tomatoes, and a nice vinaigrette on your salad.
Also in this Meal I will make it very Protein Heavy. So if you typically have ONE chicken breast, Have 2 instead.
There is just something about a huge "pulse" of Solid Protein at the end of the hard day that extremely Anabolic, and I have not found out why yet.
Its also convenient for you since this will be the most difficultly meal to make.
ALSO One Dinner should be Read Meat, the next Fish, and the one after Chicken or some other meat.
So Every third day have a Healthy dose of RED MEAT,ALWAYS

lets do dinner boys.
salad just how omega would like it.

first I would like to say recipes are not as hard as you think they are. If you cant find something at the store just step out and ask some one.

1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 shallot, minced
4 teaspoons tarragon white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon leaves or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups torn mixed baby greens such as red or green oak-leaf and Lollo
rosso lettuces (available at specialty produce markets and some supermarkets), rinsed well and spun dry

In a large bowl whisk together the mustard, the shallot, the vinegar, the tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Add the greens and toss the salad well.

You can add chicken or steak to this.

for a easy chicken breast just do this.
take a few breast put them in a oven pain. squeeze some fresh lemon juice
over them. sprinkle some sea salt,rosemary, and some pepper on them and cook them on 375 till 165 degrees.
you can cook up shit loads of chicken like his in advance for salads.If marinate
them over night they taste even better.

For steak go to a bulk store like bj's sam's and buy "flat meat" cut it all up and
marinate it in a healthy vinaigrette.place it in zip lock bags and freeze it for when ever you need it. A good bag of flat meat will last you a month and it only cost 50-70 bucks. the vinager in the vinaigrette will make the meat tender and soft the longer it sits.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

any low sodium ideas?
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Needto

Let me start by saying thanks for your input. You did hit on some of my concerns. I did not realize that the eggs would stay good for that long. Thats going to be a life saver in the morning. As for the oatmeal I will swap between that that the whole wheat bread. That should allow for a quick exit in the morning. You have to understand that only my body is up that early not my mind. Sometimes I'm surprised I even make it out the house fully dressed. Even the guys at work avoid me till after my second cup of coffee.

Knowing what I could prepare the night before for the morning was always a problem for me, I guess I was over thinking it. Your ideas for lunch are in line with what I do now so not many changes there.

My big issue was actually timing of the later meals (prework out nutrition, post work out nutrition, dinner, and the before bed nutrition. My days are pretty easy to accomadate but from 6pm to 10:30pm I have trouble understanding how to fit all of that in with 1.5 hours of that at the gym. It seems that everyone works out earlier so that there is enough time to fit it all in, but not me.

I have also enjoyed about 6 of your meals and a few of your protein drinks that I had picked up in the past from some of your posts. Just keep them tasty and a little cajun twang is always welcomed.

Thanks for your help

Like I said in another post on the aas forum. when buying food think about this.
If it comes natural as in the same way it came of the tree,out of the ground,of or out of the animal then is is low in sodium.

If it comes in a bag, in a box, in a jar, and it has been altered by man then its high in sodium.
Buy all your food fresh and in its simplest form. cook it your self and you will never have to worry about the salt content. just omit salt on recipes like the chicken recipe I gave before.

If you ask me for something specific like a low salt spag sauce I can do it no probs.

Just remember if you want something low salt or just the way you want it make it your self. Any thing pree made by the store is almost always high in salt and or no good for you.

What kind of meats are we to use in the sandwich? I'm not sure what is considered roasted and not roasted. Also you stated that red meat is key every 3rd day. Does that mean we are only allowed red meat once every 3 days? Most of my lunches are usually made up of red meat.

ask ?? to the butcher or any one making your food. If they don't know learn it for yourself. make your own roast and slice your own meats.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Here is a good question for you to enlighten our members:


How do we make our own roast beef cuts FOR a sandwich?


I mean... Whats is a good cut of meat to buy? How do we cook it? Whats the best tool to use to cut it into thin slices?


It would be really cool to make a batch of roast beef for 3-4 meals thru the week... Maybe use the same cut of cooked beef for different Sandwich/Snack recepies!!!


Also: As Needto said, when YOU cook your own roast beef cuts. You can make sure they are low on sodium or fat or whatever since you have the control of the preparation, and not a corporate owned food plant in Missouri.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Needto

Thanks
The main reason for me joining this program was not entirely based on the transformation that Omega was able to to with his pupil. It was more based on his knowledge. To be honest you can read about all of these great ideas that are proven to work in most cases and to some degree. The kicker for me was the ability to make the most out of the time that I have. Every program and diet you see omit the fact that some people have limited free time between work, family and just trying to have a decent quality of life. Everyone says to get 8 to 10 hours of sleep, well I keep trying but unless the earths rotation slows down or I hit the lottery I'm screwed. I was really impressed that after telling Omega about my schedule he was confident he could make something work. Most people just tell you that something has to change or it only takes an extra 30 minutes. Sometimes thats not an option. I will have full faith, trust, and dedication to Omegas plan for the next 3 months because he has showed that he can make it work with what he has to work with.

MY OPINION ONLY
A great idea for a cook book for the fitness minded would NOT be only 10 minute meals, because really between prep, cook, and clean its never that short. I would love to see something that had a title of "2 hours (or less) on Sunday and you can have your muscle building lunch and breakfast for the week". Now if you can work that out put me down for your first book. I have no doubt in my mind you can pull it off based off all your post that I have read.

I look forward to all the diet help you are will to give.

Thanks

when you go to the store buy a top of the round roust, or a rump roust if you want to be cheap . a small one will cost you around 35 bucks well a large one will cost you around 95. ether one will last a long time. recipes to come later.
a rump roust is half the price.

There is so much I can tell you about slicing your own roast. Get a chefs knife
a damn fucking good one. If you plain on being a good cook it will save your life. You are not going to get a good chefs Knife at wall mart sorry. If you invest in just one cooking utensil for the rest of your life make it a real good chefs knife. Go to the mall or a store that specializes in things like this. A good blade will cost you 50-100 bucks and it will be the best money you ever spent.. Tip if the metal of the blade dose not go all the way threw the handle its not a good blade. Ask the for a chef knife when buying one.

Now that you have a good blade and a good cut of meat you can cook it like this.
half freeze the meet then slice it to your liking. take the meat and lay it in a oven pane. Cover with a low sodium liquid beef base from the store our your own home made base. cook for 30 mins on 375 or till its to your liking. I like my beef bloody.

cooking first.
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature use olive oil in its place to make it even more healthy
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt.Don't even use the salt if you don't want to.
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 clove garlic cut in half
2 to 3 pounds beef roast - top of round or rump roast

In a small bowl combine butter or oil , lemon peel, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Rub garlic halves over surface of beef roast. Spread butter or oil mixture over roast, coating thoroughly on all sides. Place meat on rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Roast at 450, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300 roast beef about 20 minutes longer for medium well. A meat thermometer should register about 140. Remove roast from oven, cover loosely with foil, and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
you can slice as is or put in freezer for 1 hour to make slicing easer.

good shit bro. when I make a book it well be all about things like this.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

o hell I dont want to let the cat out of the bag. There is so many many subjects I can cover when it comes to cooking. the basics are first though. The sky is the limit though.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

I mean when it comes to making roast for a samitch it dos not have to be that bad ass of a recipe. as long as you have the right cut of meat any thing will go.


Your choice of Roast Beef
garlic cloves 1/2 per pound
pepper to taste


Cut up garlic and press into meat, especially the fatty part. Pepper the roast generously. Place roast on rack part of pan and cook for 20 minutes per pound for medium rare. Longer for well done.
its all about the cut of meat really.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

this is Great

I NEVER thought about making my OWN sandwich Meat

I LIVE off of large double meat Sandwiches at lunch with plenty of Vegetables inside

one could even Roast Vegetables for you multiple meals as well

it so conveniant and good for you actually.

So what other meats are good for sandwiches besides roast beef?
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Let me tell you up front, though, that without an expensive meat slicing machine, you'll never match exactly what you get at Arby's but you might come close.

Making good roast beef is not something you'll master overnight but if you put the time in and make a few, with a little trial and error you should be able to create something very Arbylike :)

First of all, get yourself a $25 (or less) digital probe thermometer from somewhere like target, walmart or kmart. The kind you are looking for has the long wire so the probe can stay in the meat during cooking. Then get yourself a rump roast - look for a cut with the most white flecks in it (fattiest). After you've mastered a rump roast you might want to try an eye of round (more traditional). Because it's such a leaner cut, it's quite a bit more difficult to get a moist and flavorful roast.

Prep

Depending on the store where I get if from, sometimes I rinse off my roast with water to clean it. Other times I just blot it with a paper towel. Whichever you do, make sure it's dry going into the oven. Insert the probe thermometer sideways into the meat so the point is in the thickest part (middle). If you have a rack for your roasting pan, use it, if not, it's not the end of the world. Put the roast in a preheated oven.

Roasting

What temp for the oven? The traditional method is to roast at 325 degrees until your thermometer reads your desired temp (140 degrees for medium rare). That will give you a okay roast beef. Some people will tell you to sear the meat first to 'seal' in the juices. That is a myth. Seared meat, as it turns out, loses more moisture than unseared meat.

If you , like me, are striving for the ultimate roast beef, I'd recommend a slightly different tack. I've been seeing more and recipes from chefs instructing an initial heat of 375 (for browning and food safety) but then going down to 250 for a very slow roasting. This method will give you a moister, more delicious roast. I've never done it with beef but I have done it with pork and the results have been amazing. How long at 375? Well, I have to admit I've been doing mine by eye. The next time I roast I'll pay closer attention to the thermometer but if I had to make a good guess, I'd say roast at 375 until the probe thermometer hits 90 then lower to 250 until you hit a 135 degree internal temp. As far as the final temp is concerned that's really a matter of taste. When you take the roast out of the oven it will continue to cook another 5 to 10 degrees depending on the size. 140 is supposed to be medium rare but everyone you talk to seems to have a different opinion on internal roasting temperatures. 140 is way too pink for me personally. If it is too pink/red, remember you will be rewarming it after you cool it/cut it. Arbies probably takes theirs to 150 or maybe even higher. You'll probably need to make roast beef a couple of times until you hit the exact color you want.

One important thing to keep in mind during roasting is to keep an eye on your pan juices. If you see them starting to burn/get black add a few tablespoons of water. Generally you don't need to inspect for burning until about 1/3 through the cooking time. Once out of the oven, pour the pan juices into a separate cup and chill. If you don't want to monitor your pan juices you can substitute them later with water, but your sandwich won't be as good.

Cutting

Getting really thin slices from a straight from the oven roast beef is impossible. Let the roast cool for about 30 minutes or so and then refrigerate overnight. After fully chilling the roast will be a lot easier to slice. Some people tie up their roasts with butcher twine so it's easier to cut and other people partially freeze their roast beef. I just use a very sharp 8" chef's knife. Cut thin slices against the grain. If you have a friend who's a butcher, access to a meat slicer would be ideal.


I hope this helps more guys.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

making your own lunch meat can save you lots of money. As you shop for meat like roasts or Turkey breasts look for the sales. A good boneless turkey breast can run you 13-20 bucks but some times you can find the same breast on sale for a buck a bl. Use
your head " thanksgiving and christmess is coming" after that stores are going to be practically giving turkey breasts away. At a buck a lb you can get your self like 10 perfect 7lb breast for 70 dolors and have enough meat to last you threw the winter.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

I was just thinking that. I think this would be a good subject to cover. How to make a weeks worth of meals in a short amount of time. Then people who have say only one day out of the week can do every thing on that day.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Yea Needto!!!!!
Believe it or not I have had schedules that were more time consuming than my current one. Although at that time the gym was not part of my life nor was eating healthy. My life saver back then was a crock pot. At night I would throw together a bunch of meat and vegetables then stick it in the fridge. The next morning I would put it on the counter, plug it in and put it on low. Ta Da... 12 hours later when I made it home it was cooked and there was enough food for dinner for the next 3 days. Now in hind sight it was kind of healthy except for the salt but it was all meat and veggies(carrots. potatoes, celery, and mushrooms). So do you have any dishes set up that could be used in a slow cooker. Hell, if you can pull all of this off I will buy two of your books.

Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

Its 2007! Under no circumstances should you have to break diet because of time constraints... A healthy meal on a budget is a phone call away... I use to pay $8 for a chicken salad and a bottle of water at the pizzeria... I would phone in my order when I was getting off the train from work... Once they got to know me, they would even do curve side in the winter...
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

BRR
A little off topic but thats not true. Try working from 6am to 6pm at Miami airport on a construction project that is located on the tarmac. With all of the security its not like you can just go upstairs and eat. You can not even leave the site because you have to have escorts to go from one point to another, not to mention the fact of the security checks on the vehicles just to get back on the tarmac. So trying to go offsite for a quick bite is not accepted because of the security hassels. Then try going 20 miles back home north of the airport at rush hour, now thats an adventure plus another 45 minutes to an hour driving. Now lets take another project that was part of the everglades restoration(15 months). It was only 10 hours a day but there are no stores within 30 miles of the project. Needless to say the drive home was also in the hour range not because of traffic but the miles. Yes these are screwed up jobs and now all of my day is in an office but it still has long hours. The worse part of all is that I have been salary for the past 12 years so there is no overtime pay. Only a truck, gas, good bonuses and I get to yell at people all day long.

Bro I can pull any thing off when it comes to food.

I think I remember you saying you like spicy right.
spicy crockpot beef stew high in protein and vitamin C

2-1/2 lbs. boneless beef top round steak
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
14 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 oz. envelope low sodium fajita seasoning mix, or 2 Tbsp. Homemade Fajita Mix
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1" pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1" pieces
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup water

Trim excess fat from beef and cut into 2" pieces. Combine with onion in a 3-4 quart slow cooker. Mix together fajita seasoning mix (either purchased or your own homemade) and undrained tomatoes and pour over beef. Place peppers on top. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 7-9 hours until beef is tender.

Combine flour with water in a small bowl and stir well to mix. Add gradually to crockpot and stir well. Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 15-20 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve stew with hot cooked rice or hot couscous.

not to high in carbs ,low in sodium. Takes 10 mins to threw it all together.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

I forget all about the crock pot meals. let me ask you this needto. by the way good to have ya here with your expert advice.

I currently work 7p-7a in a busy ER. We are supposed to get 2 15 minute breaks and 1 30 minute break. The 2 15 min breaks rarely happen as I am the guy in triage and it is a constant flow of new people who feel they have an emergency at 3 fucking am with a runny nose and sore throat(sorry for the rant) So other than a quick shake what do you recommend for a quick high protien "snack" that i can walk to the back for 5 maybe 10 minutes and eat?

or
Using diet Jello (your favorite flavour) -
Mix with 1/2 cub boiling water.

Add 8 ice cubes (preferably made with reverse osmosis water)

Stir until jello powder is disvolved and jello is beginning to get thick.

Remove unmelted icecubes.

put jello in fridge for 15 minutes then get out

Use an electric beater to beat it until it is frothy

Fold in a scoop of your favorite protein drink powder

Continue to beat the mixture until more bubbles form. Return container to fridge and allow to set firmly (about 2 hours).

now you have a fast snack with no almost nothing but protein in it.

lol k I sorta thought it was that, but I wasn't sure, thanks for the picture. =)

do you have any kind of stats on these, not that I'm overly concerned with the stats... but would eaten two of those a day be to much, and can one of those bars replace a Post work out shake? because my gym is at the university and it's hard for me to have a shake within an hour or so after I workout. though I could bring one of those what i hope is a tasty bar, I'm going to cook me up some this weekend. How long do they last for any harm in cooking like 24 at a time.. also my muffin tins are old and ghetto, what can I spray on them to make nonstick without adding shit to the mix. I'm pretty excited to try these, I like earn have major difficulties in putting proper eating into my schedule.

A little extra vergin olive oil to cote the pans.

The stats on each one would depend on what protein powder you use. Here is a easy way to figure any cals out on your own. Go here and type in the contents of the hole recipe http://fitday.com/ It will then tell you the stats of every thing. Just divide that by how many servings the recipe made and you will know the stats for each serving or at least very close to it.

I can do it for you But I would rather you start learning things like this on your own. :)

It is still a carb that you will not use after hours. I don't know if omega feels the same way but that my thoughts.

1-1/2 pounds (6 fillets) firm white fish fillets (flounder, sole, cod or pollack)
Juice from one lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic pepper
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
3 tablespoons grated fat free Parmesan cheese


Rinse fish and pat dry with paper. Set aside.

Place lemon juice, oil, mustard, dill, pepper, and garlic powder in a 1-cup glass measure, and mix well.

Brush lemon dressing on both sides of fish fillets. Arrange fish, overlapping thinnest portions in a baking pan. Drizzle remaining dressing over fish. Arrange shredded carrot over fish and sprinkle with cheese.

Bake in 350 degree oven about 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Per one serving: About 131 Calories, Fat 4g, Protein 20g, Carbohydrate 2g,


this makes six servings.

If you dont like carrot you can just not use them. Some times its hard for people that don't know what they are doing to read a recipe so if you have ??
just ask.

Be creative guys. You could use other veg with this recipe to. If you like aspagrass take just boil it a bit before you put it on the fish.

Getting a marinade that fits into omegas plain will be hard. I think I can do it though. Have to remember almost all marinades are high in one of the following
salt
sugar
fats/oils
Any marinades that would fit in the plain would be mostly vinagure based with other spices. I got some other stuff I will see what I can come up with.
 
Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

I forgot to ask if its OK to drink coffee? I usually drink about 4 cups and all before noon, I only use sweet&low. PPPLLEEAASSEEE say thats OK. I also drink 1 zero coke in the morning on the way to work and another when I sit down for dinner. Another question since I will be hitting the deli this weekend again for the meats for lunch is the portions. You say use double normal, but thats different for everyone so do you have an ounce recommendation for the turkey breast, roast beef, and chicken breast? Since Thursday is turkey day, is using smoked turkey the same as using the regular?

Thanks
