Not strictly speaking maybe, but I think its obvious what I am getting at here. After all the sauces, dressings, garnishes, sides and extras is the majority of what is posted really condusive to meeting one's goals (generalising about goals here as everyone is different)? Whether someone is on a cutting programme or a bulking one makes a difference too but nevertheless.

Practically every kind of food, restaurant and take away is mentioned at some point in this thread.

there is no such thing as "bodybuilding food"

The Brazilian and Mongolian buffets caught my eye but, honestly, how much of this thread is good food and how much is actually bodybuilding food?? The two ideas seem to have been blurred together as one.

I thought I would add a shout for Korean barbecue (again, mainly for the Londoners, sorry guys). Its great tasting stuff although the - extortionate - price you would have to pay for anything nearing a decent intake of protein would cover at least a weeks good shopping imo. Ask for dweiji galbi.

Basic concept is the meat is put in a leaf or very thin letteuce with sliced roasted garlic, some seasoned roots, sliced chillis and a bean-based sauce and wrapped up as a parcel. Its delicious. Korean cuts of pork are the best around in my experience.

Farmhouse, Portsmouth. Off the Eastern Road.

Some dishes are to be steered clear of however they do a brilliant 24 OZ steak that goes down well. And the double swordfish and steamed brown basmati is a winner.

Here's my take on Manchester food spots:

New Sami on Whitworth Street, I absolutely love this place. You can get all you can eat sushi and lunch time for £10. Can't say better than that!!

Bem Brazil on great ancoats, Similar to places mentioned before. All you can eat, salad bar and they come round with meat. Just hold of on the crap stuff like the sausages and wait for the good meat like the steaks.

There are a couple more of these dotted around town.
Tropiero off sackville street and another one near deansgate.

Simply Delish, is a great little deli for lunch or breakfast and is themed on healthy eating. Great salads, sandwiches, home made soups, hot specials.
Great variety and specials everyday. Fantastic for dieting. http://www.simplydelish.co.uk

Oh yeah and don't forget nados haha

Thanks for the advice .... I find it soooo hard to eat well when going out to restaurants. You never know the quality of the food. Being a body-builder, the better quality food you put into your body, the better you'll feel and perform.

how do people feel about sushi, is this good for you?

Yes. Good fats and protein from the fish.
I like the wasabi myself!

Days in Brighton

All you can eat buffet the do every type of food, chinese, indian, russian, morrocan, the lot. Theres a giant hot plate where you can get them to cook you a steak (only a small one), chicken, pork chops, lobster. You can go as healthy or unhealthy as you want. But its hard to resist the deserts....its about 10 metres long with chocolate fountains, haribo, mini cheesecakes and a lot more.

For lunch its 6.50 a head but for dinner its 13.50. There's a lot more choice for dinner though.

You would be correct with the porridge, although that's only before 11. You've got the choice of various toppings too. May I say that the chocolate sprinkles is a personal favourite It's pretty expensive dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage too, so you don't have to feel guilty

Good to hear that you had a good experience too.

Went off the rails a bit and had the I love England bap....

Tractor,
Unfortunately the portion sizes don't change whether you eat in or take out. I must admit, that you don't get loads in terms of meat with the main dishes. My guess is that this is because all of the ingredients are top notch, so if they were to put more meat in, then this cost would be passed on to the customer.

Admittedly it's not the cheapest place to eat, but at least you know that you're putting some good food into your body that hasn't been pumped full of rubbish.

Just a quick question, how did you find the service there?

Service was 2nd to none.. in and out within 5 mins max, and staff very polite and friendly.... didn't pick a massively busy time, as I went during work time, and didnt want to be hanging around... would rec it to others though... I am right in thinking they do porridge or am I making that up... if so I'll be popping to try that one day as well

another one for liverpool....red hot world buffett, went there and it was awesome, whether bulking or cutting, probably better for bulking, you can pretty much get whatever you want, the chefs will cook you what you like, sushi, fish, meat, rice, more food than you can imagine....well in the uk anyway

how do most people feel about curry houses/takeaways but the dry tandoori meats like chicken, lamb etc,

i would of thought if you had to have something this would be the healthier option,

what do you think?

My local curry house does a "Tandori (sp) mixed grill" which is what I choose most times.... as long as you are having it once or twice a month and not 2-3 times a week, I'm sure any choice would be ok as a "treat" as long as your diet is relatively clean for the remainder of the time??
