george foreman is inferior to a frying pan. Lose all the juices, and therefore the tenderness and taste of the meat. Always seems to come out tough and overdone in a George Foreman.

As a college student, my typical "morning" meal is:
4 eggs, scrambled add pepper and an splash of milk to get them fluffy and tasty, emptied on to plate. Use the same pan, 4-6 strips of thick cut bacon. Lots of people will tell you to do the bacon first, and use the grease to fry the eggs in - makes me sick every time, without fail... and this way is faster anyway, the bacon cooks in ~1 minute instead of five since the pan is hot from the eggs.

Typical "evening" meal:
The previous evening, I'll put two chicken breasts (usually totaling ~1.5 lbs of chicken) in a ziploc bag, with a splash of italian dressing to marinate. Delicious. Remove from bag, add a capful of olive oil to pan. Add pepper, Place chicken in pan, medium heat, walk away for ~10 minutes. Flip, walk away. I have a meat thermometer - you want the chicken to just pass an internal temp of 175, maybe for 15 seconds. That means it's done. No need to flip it more than once either imo, or else you used too little olive oil. I also prefer to do steamed broccoli for my veggies. That's simple, after the chicken flip I throw a bag of frozen broccoli in the microwave, they finish around the same time.

I eat that probably 6/7 days of the week. My third meal (in between the two) is usually at some cafe around campus, or it's a jumbo can of tuna - the one with five servings, and some carrots... So it's different every day. I snack on raw almonds.

Tried to cook steaks today. Did not go well, I definitely let them cook too long and didn't use high enough heat. Ah well, lesson learned. Maybe next time it will be better.

On the milk debate: I love whole milk, but I do more like 1/3-1/2 gallon per day. Any more and I start to break out all over my face, as well as it being unnecessary calories. However, any less and I don't gain weight.

egg n bacon sounds like a good one, will try! cant eat tuna anymore after i tried mass-eating the lowest quality shit you've ever seen and got sick shit of the vile taste. i think steak type meat varies in how you cook it depending on where it came from on the animal; like proper steaks you can cook so they're rare/medium/well done, but shoulder meat you need to cook for 60 minutes on high. so google it.

what do you mean you "break out" when you drink more milk? normal acne spots? or sebhoreic dermatitis (red, stingy, sometimes scaley skin around nose, eyebrows, forehead)?

froadac you could try bringing like 6 boiled eggs to school for lunch/break. super easy to prepare

@nemy, try re-positioning your elbows during the squat. i was told to push them forwards (towards mirror). dunno if that will help with your wrists but it might be an idea


has anyone quit smoking whilst being a newbie-ish gym-goer? did it make you feel any different?
