I'm curious, what actually are the "Adonis Principles"? I see you mention them pretty often. All I know is the sous vide is great  8)

A calorie is just a calorie.

Get my recommended amount of protein any way you want, which is pretty low, and fill your calories any way you want.  By default, your nutrition will be adequate.

For protein, I recommend anywhere between .5 grams per lb of bodyweight to 1 gram per lb.  Keep in mind the 1 gram is not necessary at all but that is the range you should be in.  You can be on the low end and be perfectly fine.  Don`t worry too much about it at all.  The most important thing is overall calories.

True Adonis, are you a fan of indian food? I just ate some chicken tikki masala with garlic naan. You seem like the kind of guy who enjoys indian food. I even bet you cook your own.

I do keep my protein at about 1 gram per lb already. Do you say that "any way you want" is somewhat clean but able to eat shit or really doesn't matter even a little bit (think candy, soda, etc)?

I do and I have posted my recipe for Tikka Masala on here before.  Indian is one of my favorites.

I made the best Ham and Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits tonight to go with Split Pea Soup which I whipped up quick.  I love this meal!

Eat whatever you want in your calorie range.  It makes no difference at all.  Your protein is fine, albeit a bit high in my opinion, but if thats what you like, than so be it.  You could lower it if you wanted to or not.  Its up to you.

Can you post the recipe again?  I can never make Indian food right... always fuck up the spices.  I don't even really know what these dishes are supposed to taste like (never had them at restaurants), which further complicates things.

I may have to give that one a go.  One of my favorite books, and one of the very best Indian Cookbooks is 660 Curries by Raghavan Iyer.  I am going to check the Jalfrezi in there and see how it compares. I strongly recommend this book.

Well, I have two.  You want the easy one first and then the more difficult one?

I will PM you both.

Yes, if you make it, let me know how it turns out. I had the Jalfrezi a few weeks ago when I was visiting friends. I definitely prefer it over the tikki masala.

I like eating meat to much to lower it  ;D
How can you just eat whatever you want and have the same effects on the body? I know I feel a LOT worse eating pizza and donuts than chicken and beans

I don`t.  Its psychological and once you drop preconceived prejudicial notions about food or food items, you won`t have that "feeling" anymore.  It a nocebo effect.

Give it a try and just track your calories and then take a look at your Macro and Micro nutrients.  You will see that they will be more than adequate by default.

Adonis, you said that overall calories is your most important principle and you believe that one should count them, right?  Do you think that somebody who is NOT prepping for a show but who just wants to maintain a good everyday physique should be counting calories too?  Seems unnecessarily complicated to always be "counting calories" when you could just be listening to your body of when, what and how much to eat at any given time (sans actual calculations.)

I agree with this...Most people who do eat what we think is junk just don't know how many cals they are actually putting in their bodies...So they eat way too much and gain weight and then blame it on the types of foods their eating. Silly really. Of course they are going to think chicken and rice makes them feel better because in most cases, when they are eating these two types of foods, they are eating less cals which is going to make them feel tighter ect. But it isn't the food it's the calorie count...

I've been kinda experimenting with the principles.

My 3 meals consist of 2x 1/2lb of lean protein and salad + 1x 12 lb of fatty protein and salad, but this only amounts to about 1k calories. So, I make up the other 1k with a pint of ice cream.

Still rockin' a 34" waist a d 10% bf,  and I doubt there would be a difference if I substituted the ice cream with rice/oatmeal/pasta or potatoes.
