CrossFit Football Omelet!
If your goal is some kind of mass gain and/or you are not overly concerned about Bikini season (think Greg Everett) you
may need or want to do some BIG eating. Although liquid food is a good
option in this regard, you CAN get in some serious cals by constructing
your meal in a smart way. One method that is effective is dramatically
increasing fat intake due to it’s caloric content…fortunately or
unfortunately, it’s tough to just up-end a bottle of olive oil and
really go to town! Well, here is a sneaky way to get in a load of
protein, cals and nutrition all in one go.
Take 3 -4 pieces of applewood smoked bacon, dice it and begin cooking it in a pan. While the bacon is cooking get a bag
of Trader Joe’s frozen broccoli out and scramble 6 eggs in a bowl. When
the bacon is almost done add the bag of broccoli and 4-6 tablespoons of
extra virgin olive oil. Let this mess cook until the broccoli is almost
done, then add your eggs. If you turn the heat down and cover the whole
thing you can finish out with a frittata (openfaced omelet) or you can
keep the heat up and simply scramble it. In the picture you cannot see
that there are two avacados diced in the plate, atop which the frittata
sits.
You can construct this omelet in any way you want but just a back of the envelope calculation shows we have about 40-45g
of protein, 100g of fat and about 10g of carbs from the broccoli.
That’s over a thousand calories and when garnished with hot sauce or
salsa it’s not too hard to pack one away. This is a pretty good way to
get you towards the 4-6 thousand cals you might need to gain muscle or
simply perform at your best.

I had a less caloric version of this for breakfast this morning- 2 eggs, 1 piece of bacon, a chopped up green pepper, and a little cheese (I know not Paleo, so sue me). I think if I went for the recipe as prescribed every day I would weigh a ton in no time.

Just time your castor oil intake so that you leave your "bricks" at home or work. Thanks for being considerate.

Rex, one is used to make you a "brick house", the other makes you drop "bricks" at the house. Why not try both and let me know what you think.

What's the big deal with downing some olive oil straight from the bottle? I have at least two shots a day.
