1. Take your own lunch to work. Make sandwiches of roast
beef, meat loaf, ground beef, tuna, liverwurst, chicken, turkey,
ham, egg, peanut butter or cheese.
2. Use only 100% whole wheat (stone ground is the best),
rye, or pumpernickel.
3. If you get hungry between meals, eat cashews. These nuts
supply protein, fat and additional calories.
4. Dried fruits are also high in calories and provide extra vitamins
and minerals.
5. Use mayonnaise, oil and salad dressings whenever possible
with sandwiches, salads and vegetables.
6. Have an extra protein drink on workout days.
7. Plan a definite eating schedule. The body thrives on regularity.
Never skip a meal or a snack.
8. Here are three good weight-gaining snacks using cottage
cheese:
(A) Cottage cheese (½ pint) with can of tuna, avocado.
(B) Cottage cheese, mixed with fresh or canned fruit.
(C) Cottage cheese, mixed with a bag of cashew nuts.
9. To help maintain your water balance while training,
squeeze the juice of one or two lemons into a quart of warm
water, add three tablespoons of honey, and shake until it is thoroughly
mixed. Sip this drink between exercises during your
work-out to replace lost water.
10. A good appetite stimulant is two ounces of red wine mixed
with an egg yolk, to drink about half an hour before a meal.
11. A terrific muscle-building dish is my own special version
of the "muscle-burger":
1 pound ground sirloin
3 whole eggs
8 Wheat Thin whole wheat crackers (or saltines)
chopped green onions
Using a fork, mix the eggs with the meat in a large bowl. Crush
the crackers up into small crumbs and add along with the chopped
onions. Keep stirring until the mixture becomes semi-thick. Cook
as you would a regular hamburger—do not overcook.
Discuss.
