The Bodybuilding Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes To Build Muscle, Burn Fat And Save Time (The Build Muscle, Get Shredded, Muscle & Fat Loss Cookbook)

I don't know why several other reviewers are saying this is a vegetarian cookbook. There isn't even a vegetarian section. The author doesn't tout it as a vegetarian cookbook. Perhaps it was at one time an update changed the enitre contents of the book.UPDATE:For those that do not believe me that this is NOT a vegetarian cookbook, here is just a FEW of the many meat recipes in this cookbook:Super lambMeatloafBrawny Beefy SandwichesChili Con Carne (Carne means meat)Strength Chicken and Sesame SaladTraining Tilapia in Thai SauceMuscle MackerelHerby Tuna SteakSizzling Salmon SaladAnabolic Avocado and Chicken SaladEven the salads have meats in them. In fact, I don't even see a blurb where the author discusses plant proteins. I have thoroughly read this book and my review is honest.Pros:Each recipe includes nutritional information. I haven't verified the data with a nutrition app, so I am not sure if the information is accurate. Looking at the ingredients, most of the recipes use healthy, wholesome foods and emphasize nutritious options. The author includes high calorie recipes for those looking to gain muscle, a mid range for people wanting to maintain, and a variety for those aiming to lose fat without losing muscle.A smattering recipe photos appear throughout the book, but aren't included for every recipe.The recipes use easy-to-find ingredients found in most markets and easy to follow directions. While the recipes aren't complicated, they do look interesting.The author uses some fun names for a few of the recipes, such as "Training Tilapia in Thai Sauce" and "Muscle Mackerel."While most of the recipes use metric measurements, the author kindly includes conversion charts.At the end of the book, the author invites readers to download a book of free meal plans; however readers must share their email address with the author in order to access the download.Cons:Is this a typo? In the earlier chapters, the author states that people should eat 1 pound of protein per pound of body weight daily. If a woman weighs 110 pounds, she is supposed to eat 110 pounds of protein a day? There is no way a person can eat that much food.Each chapter begins with a small blurb about what to expect. Oddly enough, all these blurbs also appear at the beginning of the book.I find the writer's style immature and relying too heavily on mundane vocabulary and passive voice. He doesn't explain some industry specific vocabulary, such as the term "PB".All three of the diet plans (muscle gain, maintenance, and weight-loss are one-size-fits-all and do not take into account sex, activity level, or current weight. For example, the author recommends almost 2000 calories a day. This amount is too high for many people trying to lose weight.While most of the recipes emphasize whole foods and real ingredients - and the author encourages readers to eat real food - his dessert recipes rely mostly on protein powders for protein content.The book contains some errors. For example, a Mustardy Cauliflower recipe appears as instructions within another recipe - which lists its own ingredients, but has no instructions.

Really enjoy the book. Page 127 has a recipe for pumpkin cookies. It’s clearly the same recipe as page 123. Page 12 has a really hilarious typo. It states “at a minimum, you must aim for at least 1 pound of protein per pound of body weight”, please do not do this. I know he meant grams. There is another typo where a recipe that makes 4 servings calls for “2 boxes of spice cake mix” but the macros show ~150 calories per serving. Some boxes of spice cake mix has 1100 calories per box unprepared. So it makes sense zero sense how you can put 2200 calories into a recipe that makes 4 servings and it only has ~150 calories per serving. Just some feedback. Really do love the recipes and all the facts but could use some clean up and reviews for sure.

The Bodybuilding Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes To Build Muscle, Burn Fat And Save Time (The Build Muscle, Get Shredded, Muscle & Fat Loss Cookbook Series) I thought the e-book is very informative. The recipes cover all areas of meats, vegetables, and even self-made protein shakes. I also liked the quick selection area of the book to get to the recipes quicker but reading through and understanding how your micros and macros work for you to get the results you want is helpful as well. Overall this is a good book for anyone that is trying to figure out what to eat during your workout journey.

Just received today. Looked through the cookbook and saw a lot of good recipes. Wouldn’t call them the healthiest but it’s not too bad. They seem simple but creative which I like. One big turn off though is just the quality of the cookbook itself. It just seems cheaply made. You can’t even read the back cover because the words are so blurry and pixilated. The inside has no pictures and seems it was printed on coloring book pages. Just wish the author devoted more into it rather than just writing the recipes and shipping it out. Make it a hardcover with pictures and quality pages. I’m a firm believer that you get out as much as you put it in. If the author dished out a little more money for a quality cookbook then I bet his sales would rise; unfortunately it seemed he took the cheap way of making this book which speaks about how he thinks about his consumers.

Anyone who is familiar with fitness knows very well or should be aware that a great physique is made in the kitchen. Based on the Pareto principle, it is safe to say that 80% of an individual’s fitness results is based on 20% of the work and most of that 20% is from an individual’s nutrition. Therefore, this is what this book focuses on. It provides the reader with an array of nutritious recipes that a person requires to build rock solid and lean muscles. Failure to eat right will definitely mean failure in achieving one’s fitness goals.

More than just a cookbook, this book provides information on the basics; which was super helpful. Most of the recipes were easy to follow and simple, though I made some substitutions on a few to make them cleaner. If you're looking for variety beyond chicken and rice, then this a nice cookbook to add to your collection.

This book has a lot of good recipes that are good for body building and very yummy. The recipes are easy to prepare and as such I can say I was able to get the ones I tried quite easily. I highly recommend this book for all that want to try out something new, you will be glad you did.

I really loved reading The Bodybuilding Cookbook. As someone who doesn't LOVE meat, I found tons of tasty recipes in order to help me put on muscle, which is my main goal right now. I especially liked the introduction of the book where the author explains the reasoning behind many bodybuilding principles, such as the importance of drinking 3-4 litres of water per day as well as the role that supplements should play in any gainer's game plan.If your goal is to build, cut, or maintain, then I highly recommend downloading this book. Can't wait to try the recipes!

Great book, lots of good, clean recipes (makes prep a helluva lot easier), and it's all metric - can't be doing with this "cup" malarky as not accurate enough! Definitely worth adding to your cookery book collection!

I returned this book because it was meant for a gift but didn't look good enough to give. There wasn't any pictures inside. Each page had the receipe and a large blank gap which looked like a picture should have gone. You need pictures of the food to entice you to make it.

Was interested to make the pumpkin cookies yet ingredients and directions don’t match up. Bananas in a pumpkin cookie?? Would also like to see a breakdown of macros for each ingredient so you can alter accordingly.

This book has some great ideas for muscle building meals to put into practice. No illustrations but the recipes are very easy to follow and the book also has some nutritional information which helps.

Brilliant book ignore the negative reviews I have already thought that all of the recipes are great. And the conversion chart is brilliant at the back because I have brought other books tailored for people who dont know what they are doing. Because I have been advised by a professional to gain weight.
