Mash for GAINZ: 4 Simple Recipes for Performance

Success in achieving your training and body composition goals is eighty percent nutrition and twenty percent exercise. We debate about these exact percentages, but I think we can all agree that nutrition plays a bigger part in achieving our goals than most of us give it credit for.

I initially created these Mash for Gainz recipes for myself after being injured for nine months. I figured if I could get my nutrition figured out, it would aid my recovery and prevent any further losses.

How It Works

The following four Mash for Gainz recipes give you a head start on creating your own meals. You need three macronutrients in a main meal:

  1. Carbohydrates – Your main source of energy
  2. Protein – For growth and repair
  3. Fat – For energy

The main macronutrient of the recipes is carbohydrates. We all need carbohydrates to function properly, so why not make this cheap, easy, and tasty?

The recipes are straightforward and can be easily adjusted to anyone – except for the people who hate sweet potato. Experiment with the recipes and throw in different herbs and spices. Making fresh food can be simple, so enjoy it and have fun.

Notes:

  • The recipes should take about twenty minutes to prepare and cook.
  • The recipes are very easy to follow and the ingredients can be bought at any supermarket.
  • Sweet potato is a complex carbohydrate. It releases energy over a long period of time unlike simple carbohydrates (for example potatoes, white bread, and fruit). This steady release of energy will keep you from craving sweets.

Here are three easy steps to create your own meal:

  1. Pick a recipe.
  2. Pick your protein: chicken breast/leg, sirloin steak, pork loin, turkey breast, canned tuna, or salmon fillet.
  3. Pick a mixture of low-carb vegetables: broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, kale, cucumber, peppers, watercress, or arugula.
