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.

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/training/training-during-ramadan/ Training during Ramadan admin 07/05/2019 When you cannot eat or drink for 16 hours or so each day, what do you do?! Training during Ramadan? 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...
“Starvation Mode” It is quite likely that you have come across the term “starvation mode” before. If you are dieting and exercising, but you are not seeing progress, then a common self-diagnosis is that your body has gone into “starvation mode”. In this post I am going to reassure you that this is simply not the case! Read on! Here’s a common scenario You were trying to lose weight, so you decreased your calorie intake and stayed disciplined to your workout routine. You were happy to see your bodyweight readings going down, and your physical appearance was beginning to look slimmer and leaner. Then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, all progress appeared to stop! You didn’t cheat on your diet. You didn’t skip any workouts. So, you do what most of us do when we have a problem. You search online. You talk to your friends. And you soon come to the conclusion that you are not losing weight because ...
