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.

A question I get asked regularly each year, is how to best eat and train during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims around the world, for it is within this month that the Muslim holy book, the Qur’an, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed. A special requirement for this month is that all Muslims who are able to, are required to fast every day from sunrise to sunset, abstaining from all eating or drinking, and not even water is allowed. Harder than Intermittent Fasting Clearly this is very different from the Intermittent Fasting (IF) protocols that are popular at the moment. At least with IF you still drink fluids whilst fasting. But for Ramadan, this is not the case! To make matters even more difficult, the Islamic calendar is ba...

The reason being, is that most of the time I don’t notice any results that warrant spending money on them. Apart from Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), I usually just stick to the few basics like whey protein, creatine, omega-3 fish oil, and multi-vitamins. However, I am quite excited by the results of a new supplement that I have been experimenting with: A-Bolic4 A-Bolic4 The product I have been using is called A-Bolic4. It is made by an American company called The Lab, and it is marketed as an “anabolic growth supplement”. They claim that it “supports anabolic growth, increased metabolism, cellular integrity, and male sexual health”. My Experience Before I talk more about the supplement, and what’s in it, let me talk about my res...
https://howistayfit.com/diet/post-workout-protein/ Post Workout Protein and the Anabolic Window admin 13/04/2019 I remember it so well. Every time I would pack my gym bag before heading off for a workout, I would always be sure to include my post workout protein shake. It would be ready mixed in my shaker bottle, ready to be slammed back as soon as I finished the session. And on the odd occasion when I forgot to pack my protein shake, I would be horrified! I would hurry home as fast as I could, to quickly get my protein down as fast as possible. My eyes would be on my watch, as I raced the clock to consume my post workout protein shake within 45 minutes of finishing my workout. Because if I didn’t get my protein in time, that gruelling workout I had just put myself through would be a total waste. It would result in no muscle gain if I didn’t have protein within the 45-minute post workout anabolic window!...
