Random Thoughts - Individual Blender

In making the food under P90X I found that I use the Magic Bullet quite often. Making cucumber soup is easy in the bullet.

Random Thoughts - Calorie Counting

A large portion of the nutrition plan is calorie counting and portion control. I have been using nutridiary.com in order to analyse my meals and count calories. When I put in the meal info into the posts, the nutritional data is pulled from that site. I looked at FitDay and other subscription services but I am cheap and don't want to spend money on tracking calories. All in all, there is no perfect solution out there for counting calories based on a meal basis. Maybe I should start one...

Random Thoughts - George Forman

I have found that using a George Forman style grill to be super useful when cooking for P90X. I personally use a Hamilton Beach one because the faces are removable for easy washing (plus I found it for $20 in store). The main reason I like using it, is that it cooks the separate dishes from frozen in 10-15min while you cook the remainder of the meal.

For instance when making the chicken scramble, I put a frozen chicken breast on the cold grill, turn it to 15min and leave it going. In the mean time I cook the bacon, use the bacon fat as the grease for cooking the eggs, then once I flip the egg the chicken is done and ready to be diced and added.

It is surprising how much I am relying on it.
