I am learning to cook! I am always preaching to people about making their food interesting and flavourful! Too many people think healthy food = boring food, which is just not true!
I am always on the hunt for new cooking ideas. So when a friend offered to show me how to cook an Iranian dish, I jumped on the opportunity!
No please keep in mind that I wasn’t taking notes or anything, but hopefully I’ve remembered everything correctly!
Kuku Sabzi?
The Iranian dish I learnt how to cook, is Kuku Sabzi.
Preparation / cooking time approximately 30 minutes. Serves 2 people.
Ingredients
2 bunches of Parsley
1 bunch of Dill
2 tbsp of Dried Barberries (Zereshk)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (or use Low-Calorie Cooking Spray)
6 Whole eggs (or use just Egg Whites)
Half a tsp Sweetener
Salt and Pepper
1 packet of Microwavable Basmati Rice (or replace this with Mixed Veg / Cauli-Rice)
Instructions
Finely chop the Parsley and Dill.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the 6 eggs. Mix the ingredients together in the bowl thoroughly. Set aside for the moment.
Rinse the dried Barberries thoroughly under cold water, and remove any stones / stems. Let dry.
Lightly grease a pan with Olive Oil, and add the Sweetener. Add the Barberries and heat on low while stirring, for approximately 10 minutes until they soften.
Tansfer the Barberries into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Grease a large pan with Olive Oil and pour the mixture from the bowl into the pan.
Cook the mixture until it is firm, flipping the mixture over so to cook both sides.
Season with Salt and Pepper and serve with Microwavable Basmati Rice.
Nutrition Stats
This meal may potentially be a little higher calorie for your liking. If so I’d suggest a light breakfast / lunch if you plan on making Kuku Sabzi! Otherwise, see the substitutions below to bring the calories down! But anyway, per serving as it is, the stats are:
Calories: 511 Protein: 22g Carbs: 50g Fats: 23g
Substitutions
To bring the calorie count down, you could: – Replace the Olive Oil for Low-Calorie Cooking Spray – Swap the Whole eggs for just Egg Whites – Replace the Rice for Mixed Veg / Cauli-Rice.

Too many people waste their potential in life… a deep topic here! Clearly this dieting is taking it’s toll right now haha! It’s true though. It absolutely kills me how many people I see waste their potential. This isn’t limited to fitness! People’s fear of failure paralyses them in all areas of their life! They are scared to even try something in case they don’t succeed. Successful people are often idealised for their achievements. But what you don’t hear about is how many times they had to keep trying and failing in order to succeed! There are no larger restraints on our potential than those we place on ourselves! Be amazing. Be awesome! Get in the game. Have a go at least. And if you get knocked down, learn ...
https://howistayfit.com/training/traps-training/ Traps Training admin 04/02/2019 Big traps are cool! In fact I’d say having big traps is freakin awesome! Abs are obviously cool too. But the problem is that unless you walk around all day without a shirt on, nobody will even know you have that coveted six pack! But a big pair of traps on the other hand, are noticeable with or without a shirt on! Even while wearing a long sleeve shirt! I don’t think any other body part can get the same admiration and attention even while covered up! Trapezius By “traps”, I am of course referring to the trapezius muscle, that is visible on top of the shoulders, tying in the shoulders to the neck. In my opinion it gives the impression of a powerful strong physique! How to train your traps The traps are hit INDIRECTLY through exercises like deadlifts and rows. And to an extent presses, pull ups, and pull downs. They are also used in back squats. But to isolate and hit t...
