Tony’s Favorite Recipes
You spend anywhere from 4 to 8 hours per week exercising but diet is 24/7! It is no secret that getting the physique you want requires a highly specialized diet, high in protein, low in calories, with a balanced amount of healthy fats, too. But it is also well-known that bodybuilding (especially “cutting”) diets are incredibly booooring. So don’t just live on tasteless chicken breasts and rice . . . find some good recipes that provide for your nutritional requirements and also make meals tasty and enjoyable and you will have a much greater chance of success. Here are a few of my time-tested favorite recipes. (Note that ALL recipes are wheat and gluten-free.) — Tony DiCosta

The Amazing “Alt-Burger”
Getting enough high-quality protein from “real” food can be an expensive proposition. So using ground beef for burgers is a great choice except that it is high in fat and low-fat beef makes for very dry burgers. This recipes uses healthy ingredients mixed with very lean beef to yield a moist, yet lean burger that tastes outrageously good. Get Recipe!
