For the busy med student in you.

With finals coming up around the corner, and a semester of eating chicken twice a day, it was time for a little change (and not with tuna fish). These are quick and easy to make, and offer a great workout for your masseter and temporalis muscles.

8 scoops chocolate protein powder
5 Tbsp. Unsweetened Cocoa powder
1.5. c uncooked rolled oats
1/2 c. peanut butter
3 eggs whites
1 whole egg

Tinfoil and spray 6x9 baking pan. Mix ingredients together, and press into pan. Bake at 300 F for 15-20 min.

Makes 8 bars. Nutrition per bar:
Cal – 295 Carb – 18 g Protein – 33g Fat - 11g Fibre – 3.6g

They’re a little low on the fibre, but if you’re living by a grocery store that sells flaxseed (that hasn't been on the shelf for 2 years), substitute 1/2 cup of the oatmeal for 1/2 cup flaxseed, and only put in 1/3 cup peanut butter, then throw in 1 more egg white. This will give you roughly the same macros, but with 6g of fibre per serving, and some really healthy fats!

As you can tell, I like to cook when things start to get a little stressing - it helps procrastinate from studying, and I don't have to think about anything.
