Ground beef 1 pound a day...too much?

[breathinbleedout]

I want to put on weight, currently I am at ~182 lbs and I want to hit 200 lbs by the end of the sememster or more. I am thinking of eating roughly a pound of ground meat a day, ground beef with all the different flavors of hamburger helpers. Ground beef is 80/20 with 112 grams of protein and 74.6 grams of fat per pound. I don't want to put on too much fat either. I hate doing the low carb diet at the end to lean up.

So you think this is a overkill? Is there any other alternative? I also consume 1 packet of tuna every day, and roughly a whole chicken every other day.

My workout regime consistes of mostly free weights with running .25-.4 miles at the end.

wow

with all different flavors of hamburger helper? have fun getting fat as fuck.


eating the pound of meat is a good idea to bulk but forget that hamburger helper shit.

LOL..........eat 10lbs of ground beef if you want, just lose the helper! How about some manwhichs?????? Homemade that is.....

eat steak man. it's only $2.59/lbs, and it has much less fat. Or buy leaner ground beef, such as 93% lean one. I think it's around $3/lbs

well, maybe not that cheap for a quality red meat source, but still worth it......... think 96% lean is around $4....and steaks a little higher..........

why not just eat chicken/tuna but add healthy oil to other foods to get the fat molecules??

Ohh yhea I feel like a fucking carnivor! Just finished consuming 1.20 lbs of ground meat. Never had this much meat in my life before in a 24 hour peroid I think. Btw I don't see what the big deal with hamburger helpers is. It has 1 gram of fat, and 22 grams of carb, and 4 grams of protein in the package.

Lot of crap in the HH.

Also, buy the lean, not the ~80% stuff.

 

[chewyxrage]

Hamburger helper is processed as fuck and not good carbs....

Is there an efficient way of removing the fat? I basically boil it for 5-10 min then drain the water and strain it till its pretty dry.
I will try to find leaner meat next time.
