Just show it the grill........


When I was a kid I'd only eat my meat well done, properly well done, I had this fear about blood in the meat, I found it all a bit disgusting.

These days, I like it as rare as I can get it, maybe it's a kick back from being a raw foodie! Raw meat would be one step too far even for me, although, I doubt my friends would be suprised.  

I'm trying to up my protein levels a bit, so here's a simple steak salad for a friday............ 



245g Organic (preferably grass fed) steak  - fat 4.9g, carbs - 0.00 - protein 56.35g

20g Mixed salad greens, for me, the darker the green the better, if it's purple it's a bonus! - fat 0.05g, carbs 0.64g, protein 0.30g


5 Cherry Tomatoes - fat 0.15g, carbs 3.35g, protein 0.75g


0.5 oz Pistachio nuts - (around 25 nuts) fat 6.30g, carbs 3.96g, protein 2.92g


0.5 oz dried Goji berry - fat 0.5g, carbs 12.5g, protein 2.00g


0.25 oz flaked almonds - fat 3.59g, carbs 1.4g, protein 1.51g


Just fry the steak up nice in coconut oil and whack it all together in a big bowl.  


0.5 tbsp Organic coconut oil - fat 7g. 0.00 carb/protein.


Overall balance - fat 21%, carb 20%, protein 59%.

Overall Calories 524.

WINNER OF A DINNER. 


If you'd prefer to up your fat intake, make exactly the same salad but replace the steak with 150g of bio bacon (the streaky fatty kind). 


Overall balance of bacon version - fat 57%, carbs 17%, protein 26%.

Calories 847 

This seems a bit calorific, but is totally ok. Higher fat meals have higher calories, but they're not the calories that stick to your backside, I promise.
