Cardio (PM): 2 Miles on the street.
I'm trying to get my conditioning in check. Also, I hate running, mostly because I'm awful. I'd like to get better, hence twice a day.
FOOD REVIEW
I've been on a low carb diet, and as a result, I've been looking to find ways to make this diet a bit more fun.
Tilapia and chicken breast are two staples of my diet, but pan frying them in some olive oil or baking them gets old pretty fast. I really wanted some breading on these, especially the bland tilapia, but obviously that doesn't work with the low carb aspect of the low carb diet. What does, though is homemade nut "flour".
I simply went to the store and bought a box of almonds and a box of pecans, ground them up until they were as close to a powder as I could, and hey presto! Low carb flour.
Don't shy away from making it as fine a "flour" as you can. You want as much coverage on the meat as you can get, and smaller particles will work better in that regard.
For tilapia, just toss the filet in a egg bath, throw on the flour and pan fry it. Simple.
For chicken. Same basic idea. Bathe it in the egg, cover it in nuts, and give it a light fry. The idea here is to give it a nice crispiness before it hits the oven. Then bake it until its basically done. Pan fry it quickly once again to maintain that crispy outer coating.
It does a great job in adding some healthy fats, a few extra good calories, and breaking the monotony in a low carb diet.
