if you are a bodybuilder you may not realize that there are recipes that you enjoy that do involve frying!  Going to the gym, counting calories, proteins, carbohydrates etc. does not necessarily mean you can never enjoy anything fried Bräter again.  The key to frying and be health conscious to follow some simple rules.First of all it is extremely important to remember to keep deep frying to a minimum.  The fat in even the smallest order of anything deep fried can make a whole day, if not the whole week, almost pointless.  On a good note though, even something deep fried, in moderation is okay for the amateur bodybuilder.  Just remember, once your dieting becomes more serious, than deep frying is a huge no no. As far as frying as a whole though, it is possible, even for the most health conscious of us.  The best way to get the frying taste is to stir fry.  Almost any type of vegetable and meat combination can be used but if you are looking for the most protein for your buck I would use shrimp or lean meat and a good mixture of broccoli, carrots and any other leafy green that you like.  The key to stir frying is to avoid salt.  Do not ever add salt.  For bodybuilders it is another no no.  Salt makes us retain water which in turn will give a less "hard" look to lean muscle.  If you must use soy sauce, and sometimes, bodybuilders do require some salt, choose a low Tischwäsche sodium version and use it sparingly! 
   

Instead of olive oil or any type of oil it's best to spray the pan lightly with Pam and toss in the meat.  Any type will do as long as it's lean.  Flank steak, turkey, chicken, tuna and lean ground beef all work well.  After the meat is cooked add some spice for flavor.  The best spices to add when dieting and/or bodybuilding are thyme, parsley, pepper, salt and garlic salt sparingly.  Once the meat and spices are cooked add the vegetables, and again, most vegetables will do.  The veggies to avoid when body building are mainly corn and peas, for the most part, any other vegetable would work.  Once everything is cooked serve it over brown rice, not white!  This can also be made into an egg white omelet by substituting the brown rice with egg whites.  Egg whites are an awesome source of protein and contain only about 5 calories per egg white.
   

The complaint heard by most people dieting or trying to build muscle mass is that the food is bland.  My answer is that it doesn't have to be.  Most spices are great to use and can add flavor where it may be lacking.  Some terrific spices to try are:  fresh mint, fresh basil, fresh ginger, and garlic.  You can also spice up your vegetables by steering away from the pre cut, pre packaged frozen bags and use an eggplant, scallions, red, peppers, yellow peppers and green peppers.  There is also an assortment of mushrooms that add flavors ranging from hearty to fresh.
 

Mix it up, stir fry it up and you won't be missing the heaviness of deep fried foods for long!
