Dudes always seem to email me and ask, “FJ, I’m a skinny twirp, what’s the best meal to put on some weight?!”, to which I say, “Lard!”. Then I stumble upon a grand realization that what they’re actually talking about is quality muscle mass. Ah, big difference. Fat has weight, so does muscle and we obviously want the latter… so let’s stop it with these stupid generalizations and get specific, eh dudes?

So, you want to put some muscle on your frame? Cool, well today I’ll give you a recipe which will help do just that. Keyword, help. Eating this 5x a day will not really help, more like hinder. Also, if you can’t really handle carbs then realize that you might feel a bit sluggish after having this, as I do. But I suck it up and push through anyways. Nothing a hit of caffeine can’t fix.

The Spicy Tuna Pizza

There are many pros to this little recipe: it’s quick to prepare, tastes fan-fucking-tastic, is calorie dense and has almost everything you need to put on some solid muscle mass. Most people would never even think of putting tuna on their pizza, but wait till you try it. It’s pretty damn good.

Ingredients

• 2 Cans of spicy thai tuna
• 1 Greek Whole Wheat Pita
• 2 – 3 Tbl spoons of Pasta Sauce
• Shredded Cheese (mozzarella or cheddar, your choice)

In the pics I’ve only used 1 can of tuna since I ran out. I usually use 2.

Take the pita, spread some sauce over it, then spread out 2 cans of spicy tuna evenly over the pita, sprinkle on some cheese and throw it in a miniature oven at 450 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. Pour yourself the perfect companion – glass of chocolate milk (or protein shake) and you have a great tasting meal that will do you some good in the muscle department.

Total Stats (Pizza + Milk)

• Protein: 48g
• Carbs: 71g
• Fat: 24.5g
• Calories: 770

A few things to note: Like I said, from a numbers-only perspective, this is a very caloric dense meal and seems appealing. Have this twice in a day and you’re already up to 1540 calories. That’s all well and good, but make sure you don’t forget your veggies, lean meats and protein shakes. I usually have 1 of these meals a day or sometimes 2 when I want to bulk.

You can always modify it as I do by throwing some green peppers, mushrooms and onions on top to keep it from getting boring. The tuna also comes in different flavors so try that out, or you can just season a regular can of tuna to your liking. I wouldn’t recommend plain tuna though… quite tasteless.

Cheers
