Liquifying meals

[AnabolicAmerica]

I know this sounds disgusting and it is. But it's better than trying to gag down brown rice or yam, tuna or chicken, and green beans or asparagus. I put this all in blender and it went down much smoother than taking a bite and then washing it down with water. I'm curious to know has anyone else done this? Some of my meals I can stand eating others just take too long to eat and honestly while I'm on a strict diet there is never anything that is worth tasting.

I thought of doing that but worried I wouldn't be able to drink it is it horribly bad tasting?

 

[skel1977]

What does it taste like

 

[SFW]

I love baby food. So i assume this is a good idea.

 

[Intense]

I do it almost every day, I usually get at LEAST 1 full meal in from the blender if not more and usually it's(as disgusting as it sounds) 10oz lean red meat or chicken, 3 cups or more of a leafy veggie, and usually 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder for taste. I'll blend it up and chug it. Usually I'll eat the carbs separate because they go down so easy and I don't need carbs as frequently as I do protein/vegetables.

If I'm on gear I do this even more. Food is fuel, I dont really care what it tastes like.

Yes I have... My I recommend adding chickpeas and the water it's canned in added to the mix, it's a great binder, taste good and nutritionally sound.

As far as taste goes: not nearly as bad as eating some of the meals especially tuna, brown rice and chicken multiple times a day. DieselJimmy, I'll look into that, I've added about 16oz of water, with 6oz of chicken or a can of tuna, 16oz of water, 1 medium sized yam, half can of green beans, I ended up with about 22oz which went down fairly easily. Through some spices in the blender that's about all I could think of.

the problem with this is that the termogenic effect of digestion is reduced, the body burns less calories during the digestion process when calories are in a liquid vs solid state.

How is it a problem? it's great when trying to gain mass

I was waiting for a post like this. Because I know that there is a benefit to the stomach breaking down solids, but I'm not an expert on this. Obviously this wouldn't be recommended to be done with every meal, but I'm curious to know any substantial difference.

I don't have a problem bulking, and usually stay around 10-12%BF even when my diet is off. The reason I diet is to put more size on and keep fat off at the same time (typically). I'm not small by any means so I don't like to load up on garbage calories.

I don't think the main problem would be the decreased TEF but liquid foods are faster digesting and don't stay in the GIT as long. so you won't feel satisfied as long which "could" then lead to overeating which would obviously hamper a fat loss diet.

My diet consist of chicken and broccoli and protein shakes. So at the end of the day chicken makes me want to puke. But I always wanted to try blending it and just getting my last portion over with.

Sounds like you need to mix it up. Fish is an obvious choice, pork loin is surprisingly lean. Asparagus, spinach, bok choi are BB staples.

Nah your right. I just hate fish but I am trying to come around on salmon just because of how lean and healthy it is.

It took me nearly a year to stomach tuna bro

One of my friends uses a drink called Idealshape, which was supposed to be better than Met-Rx or Myoplex meal replacement mix's. It also has a chem call Cholecystokini which tricks the brain into thinking it's full. However, Chewing on some carbs while slurpin' it down might help too.

haha ya sometimes you have to do what you got to do! Which will be me with fish because I can't take chicken anymore

I used to be able to eat tuna and not mind the taste. I think gradually eating it every day for years made me despise it. I don't know exactly when this happened, but the same thing happend with chicken although not so much. I use BBQ sauce with chicken and it isn't so bad. I'll eat talapia or salmon on occasion but tuna is unfortunately the most convenient.

Lets face it, you have to go through cycles with food also haha. I mixed tuna and chicken and it's not that bad.

Whatever works to fuel your body is what I say you do bro. I think this is a great idea personally I am thinking about trying this one out. I usually eat between 5-7 meals per day and if I got in at least 1 liquid meal that would do wonders for me. I really think your on to something. Thanks for sharing this. Im going to use my blender tomm and let you know how it tastes. Shouldn't be that bad at all.
