Yo, recent discovery of mine on reheating rice: steam it in a steamer (not in a pot with a ¼ inch of water); Keeps it from getting mushy. It's also a great way to reheat any meat with it at the same time. Could use microwave sure, but I rather steam it.

Working out and grilling out is good living!

[@scants2874]

[@psl127]

Great video... what you eat for breakfast??. Especially when you're off to work

Health begin at the grocery store. I also love Costco for protein, so many choices at a decent price.

[@SeabassSeeker]

Good 👍🏻

[@ethanbynon4680]

Quality content, Grant! I can't wait to see more cooking videos from you. Remember, if your meal didn't have a face, it shouldn't go in your face. 🐮🐷🐔

HOW TO COOK A PIZZA

EAT THE THINGS, GRANT!

[@robnoe83]

Prep isn’t my issue. I seem to be in a cycle where for a week I’m hungry and my training goes well, and slowly through the month I start to wear out. My diet doesn’t change, but my appetite declines drastically.

[@travisanderson8458]

still waiting for more recipes

[@dial0562]

Grilled ground beef, rice steamed cooked in bone broth, scrambled eggs and bacon all mashed together. Greens is a spinach drink with orange juice. That's pretty much what I eat every day.

[@robertthompson5501]

Oysters, Salmon, Sardines, eggs , liver all super nutrition in addition to your standard beef pork , and chicken. 🙏🏻👹🏋

[@doudline2662]

Mr. Santana recommends including plant proteins (e.g. lentils) for the fiber and the fact that they're naturally lean. Thoughts?

[@thestrengthco]

Lentils aren’t going to hurt.

[@michaelbenner8914]

Grant has the meats!!!

[@thestrengthco]

Nick the new guy already commenting… I like it

[@cesarbobadilla5678]

Interesting info¡ what about pasta as a carb?

[@travisanderson8458]

pasta is good

I am a 64 year old woman, just 6 months into lifting for bone and muscle strength, not performance. Am improving my protein intake a lot and trying to keep fat down, but does all this apply to me?

[@vilmalaurel8833]

60s woman here. I was advised for by my SS coach to begin with 1/3 lb of ground beef(example)...iow, protein needs to be increased based on your own weight in order to put on mass.

COACH WHEN YOU GONNA SHOW US YOUR REKORD COLLECTION

[@thestrengthco]

hey hey dont worry about it

[@urdadshusband781]

People make dieting way too complicated. They make it even more complicated for building muscle Eat a diet rich in protein, fruits, and vegetables Limit processed foods. Make sure your overall calories and protein are sufficient for muscle gain Period

[@kevinclayton2246]

Yeeaaahhh PORK!!

[@thestrengthco]

I like to remind the Texans that South Carolinians were cooking pulled pork when Texas was still Mexico...

[@horseman3222]

gallon...of...milk...a...day... JUST DO IT!

[@Specter257]

Step one... buy a vacuum sealer bag!!! Step two... watch the Strength Co videos

[@thestrengthco]

It’s that easy

[@jamestyler3458]

White rice is processed

[@trogdor20X6]

You don't need to eat meat for every meal for performance - there are a lot of vegetarian and vegan lifters who are very strong out there. You should consider that in the future - not only for animal welfare, but for global warming reasons. Eggs, fish, vegetables all have lots of protein that you don't need to eat meat every single day.

[@horseman3222]

cringe.

[@xxpewdiepiexx2faded]

Dweeb take

[@trogdor20X6]

@@xxpewdiepiexx2faded congrats on being a conservative my dude

[@thestrengthco]

This is true. I mention fish in the video and eggs in previous videos. Lean proteins are an easy way to get your protein count up. I've coached tons of vegetarians and vegans as well and they have had success.
