Top 10 bodybuilding foods

If you're starting to warm up to the idea of making some positive changes with your current diet and are now on the hunt for easy-to-prepare, taste-bud satisfying recipes, these will do just the trick.

Having a solid list of recipes you can turn to when you get busy and don't want to 'think' about what you're having for your meals is important for sticking with your diet because without this, chances are you're going to opt for the next best option - take out.

While you still might be able to get a nutritious take-out meal if you make your selection very carefully, it's still likely not going to be as good as if you had prepared something yourself. Here are some beginner recipes to get you started.

Protein Pancakes

Pancakes are a favored breakfast for many, but unfortunately they also usually contain far too many calories and fat. Here is a lighter recipe that will fit much better with your overall meal plan.

  1. Combine the egg whites, cottage cheese and vanilla extract in a bowl until well mixed.
  2. Next add in the dry oats and whey protein powder along with the Splenda until well mixed.
  3. Once a batter has been formed, cook as you would a regular pancake, flipping at half-time.

Salmon Quinoa Salad

Many people focus mostly on rice, oatmeal, and pasta dishes that they overlook one other type of whole grain that is incredibly healthy - quinoa.

Quinoa, a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium), is a grain-like crop grown as a crop primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a grass. Its leaves are also eaten as a leaf vegetable, much like amaranth, but the commercial availability of quinoa greens is currently limited.

  • 2 tbsp fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Italian salad dressing
  1. In a small bowl combine the chopped vegetables, mayo, and salad dressing.
  2. Next add in the quinoa and salmon until well blended. Serve chilled.

Tuna Burgers

Tuna burgers are a great way to satisfy your craving while sticking on your diet. If you happen to be on a low carbohydrate diet, rather than having the burger on a whole grain roll, place it between a couple sheets of lettuce and exchange the rolled oats for finely chopped vegetables.

  1. Combine the tuna, oats, and whisked egg whites together.
  2. Stir in onion, mayo, garlic and onion powder and then form into patties.
  3. Place the patties on a skillet and flip at half time as you would with a regular hamburger.

Spaghetti And Meatballs

When someone starts up on a diet, pasta is often one thing they miss the most. Since pasta is both high in calories and carbohydrates, it is often one of the first things that people will remove from their diet.

Luckily it's fairly easy to come up with a suitable substitution that will help satisfy your craving - spaghetti squash.

  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 2 cups low-sodium prepared pasta sauce
  1. Beat the egg whites together and then combine with remaining ingredients.
  2. Once moist, form into small balls and set aside.
  3. Next, half the spaghetti squash and then place cut side down on a microwaveable tray in about 1/2 an inch of water.
  4. Microwave for 6-8 minutes and then let stand for five.
  5. Meanwhile, saute meatballs in a small amount of olive oil or chicken broth until cooked through.
  6. Scrape out the strands from the spaghetti sauce and top with heated pasta sauce and meatballs.
  7. Sprinkle over a small amount of light Parmesan cheese.

This simple recipe is great to kill your cravings while helping you reach your protein needs for the day. Play around with different flavours to match your individual taste preferences.

  2. After pudding consistency has been reached, blend in the protein powder and then chill to let set.
