Mancakes- add casein and slow cooked oats

Toughins- Muffins with attitude (more protein)

Oatsteel- Oatmeal with Myomax or Grow!

Gorilla Biscuits- Powerbars with protein

I just baught John Berardi's new eCookbook. It's pretty good and has a lot of easy recipes for athletes. What I especially like is the portion sizes of the recipes. As a lot of the experienced cooks here know, it's often hard to find recipes for just one person. Unless you like eating the same leftovers all week.

If you make "Mancakes", make sure you don't use Soy, or you'll need a "Manzier"

If you want to win in life you have to eat right. This does not mean you eat pancakes 24/7 but it doesn't mean you never have them. You need to eat according to your goals and those goals are very personal. My experience having tried many diets and programs including Dr. Mauro DiPasquali's anabolic diet is that what works for some will not be great for another. A strictly regulated diet, as often mentioned in books, is great for the classroom but tough to maintain. Of all the athletes I have met in the past 15 years , many of whom my husband has worked with, each listened to their body and ate reasonably. This is not to say that because a strict diet is tough you should'nt try. Try for yourself and see how it goes.
I'll be posting some recipes from time to time and you can see me preparing meals on the new Jane DVD.

So far I like the recipes I've tried. They're pretty easy too. The ebook also includes recipes for protein bars as well. It's not a must have, but I'm always looking for ideas, and this book is specifically targeted toward athletes and emphasizes convenience.

bumping this thread for jb's cookbook....its a great buy especially for people (like me) who are constantly eating the same meals everyday cause they can't cook. most recipes are simple and easy and like flash said, its geared towards the athlete. its has some good tips on preparing meals, what you need in the kitchen, etc.

I have several terrifc cookbooks, including The Professional Chef by the Culinary Insitute of America, which is more of a cooking textbook than just a recipe book. However, a lot of the techniques you learn from these books are not convenient (though many are), and most standard recipes are designed for at least 4 servings. It's hard to cook well for just one person for one meal. That's why I like JB's ebook. Plus, there's nothing really radical or trending about it. It's more about orginization, convenience and variety.
