Basically beef protein isolate, heated then used to make jelly mate. Dead easy.

per 300ml pot:
calories 78,
fat 0.3g
carbs 0.3g
protein 18.3g.

great if you have a sweet tooth like me.

recipe,
dissolve 120g beef isolate in 1L cold water.
add 1g vitamin C powder.

heat to just under boiling point. once hot add 5 packs ASDA no sugar strawberry jelly And stir to dissolve. Then add 800ml cold water. Divide into 8 300ml portions and cool in the fridge until set.

That seems like a lot of faffing about to me but it's a good idea if it helps you to consume protein in a palatable way for your taste buds (y)
I prefer savoury/sour/salty/acidic/plain flavours myself these days but that's probably because I'm getting "bitter" in my senior years lol

I don't like sweet food much anymore. It makes me teeth hurt just thinking about it :sick:

It takes me about 14 minutes to make 8 portions of protein jelly. If you think that is a lot of faff you would hate my Monday evenings. Each week on a Monday I spend around 2-3 on food prep. Lol. eg. For lunches this week I made my bulking bolognaise… 51g protein, 17g fat, 24g carbs per portion.

Sometimes Getting the calories in can be a struggle so I need to make sure it is via stuff I enjoy.

That's all that really matters at the end of the day regardless of other peoples opinions.

On a side note about Protein Jelly...there's a potential big business there on the same scale as MyP if you've got the time and passion to build it like Oliver did with MyP and James did with Huel ;)

Putting aside illness, I have random days when I literally don’t even want to eat food.
Saturday last week for example, I had a WPC/Oat/Banana shake for brekky at 6am and then didn’t eat again until 8pm and all I had in the 8pm meal was a tin of tomato soup and 4 slices of bread with loads of salted butter. I have a lot of random strange days like this lately when I lose all interest in food and I have to force down very bland meals (like crackers/crumpets and nut butter etc) to ensure I don’t start losing loads of muscle. Plain boiled white rice with petit pois, sweet corn, and shredded chicken is a lifesaver meal for me when I can’t eat.

I’m actually starting to think I might have a serious health condition as it’s not normal to have no interest in eating food.

Gotta be done whatever the level imo bud, best results I’ve seen are when I’ve tracked food and macros to a tee.

I generally just go by what I see in the mirror week to week and I'm not overly critical about how I look but I understand your point for those who have a focus on b/f % and visible abs etc.

5 sprigs of asparagus

Continuing down our friendly path of taking the piss/sense of humour etc...there's no such thing as a "sprig" of asparagus ya plonker. It's either a stalk, or a spear, or a head if you're only eating the tip. "Sprig" is a term used for herbs (parsley, mint, thyme etc).

:p
