The Quickest, Easiest, High Protein Snack!

You’re going to LOVE this one.

It’s tasty and couldn’t be easier! Seriously, it kinda tastes like french toast :) .

Ever heard of halloumi cheese? I hadn’t until last week.

I saw a pic for a cheese recipe that looked just like the one at the top of this article. I thought, “Ok, I see the chicken, but where’s this halloumi cheese?”.

Turns out that’s not chicken, it’s the cheese! I had to try it out.

So I head to Tesco and pick up a packet, looks like the one below (although I didn’t buy the ‘light’ version).

When I got home I ripped open the packet and saw the following….

Hmm, didn’t look too appetizing!

Anyway, I cut some slices and got my frying pan warmed up. I then threw on the slices and was surprised when the cheese didn’t melt all over the place; it just turned a little crispy.

So I flipped them over and crisped the other side too.

The taste? Really good!

I experimented with a sprinkling of chopped chillies placed on top before frying. This was delicious BUT really burned the mouth off me - NEVER AGAIN!

Anyway, here’s the nutritional breakdown of halloumi…

TYPICAL NUTRITIONAL VALUES PER 100g
ENERGY 322Kcal
PROTEIN 22g
CARBOHYDRATE 1,8g
FAT 26g

A perfect M.A.N.S. and snack. It’s also a great Total Six Pack Abs snack for the carb-controlled portion of the diet. High-carbers can purchase the lighter version to get the benefits of this tasty high-protein snack.

This will only take a couple of minutes to make so there’s no excuses guys!

The 1 Simple Rule To Build Massive Muscle

Over the past weekend I was thinking about how to simplify the fundamentals of training to maximize muscle growth.
I mean, is there one rule that can sum it all up?
1 word?
1 phrase?
1 sentence?
This 1 principle should contain all others and should be simple enough to be understood by ANYONE that wants to real deal [...]

How To Build Up Your Upper Chest

I think everyone has some body parts they’re not happy with. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been training, there’s probably still some body part that just irritates you.
For me it’s shoulders and upper chest.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m VERY happy with my pecs overall. However, I would like to develop the upper portion a [...]

Warning! Do NOT Measure Muscle Gains With Scales. Here’s Why…

The scales are NOT the way to track muscle growth!
Faaarrrrrr too many aspiring bodybuilders hop on the scales once a week (if not more!) desperately hoping to see a weight increase, thinking this is a good indicator of muscle growth.
This is a mistake. I know because it’s one that I used to make, REPEATEDLY!
You probably [...]

Muscle Mind Hack #3 - The ‘Arnold’ Secret!

Could VISUALIZATION be the key to massive muscle gains?
