My homemade Boy Kibble included a protein-fiber boost and other healthy ingredients, but it wasn\u2019t focused on fitness or muscle building like the viral trend is. Here\u2019s my experiment and what I thought about human-focused kibble.<\/p>\n

I recently tried a short experiment with the so-called \u201cBoy Kibble\u201d viral trend.<\/p>\n

With Healthline recently<\/a> covering the craze around the so-called \u201cBoy Kibble,\u201d I ventured into the trend to try my own homemade version.<\/p>\n

Usually made up of ground beef and rice, the trend is being shared as an inexpensive, simple, high protein meal to support muscle building.<\/p>\n

For me, the interest wasn\u2019t tied to gaining muscle or upping my fitness game, as the online trend is centered around. Rather, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and maybe introduce a couple of easy, quick, healthy meals to my weekly meal plans.<\/p>\n

Nutrition experts say the dish can provide important nutrients, but discourage eating it daily without modification.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why my homemade version is appealing.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a protein fanatic. I\u2019m not trying to gain muscle or supplement a workout routine.<\/p>\n

This is about eating healthier, managing my carbohydrate intake, and living with type 1 diabetes, which will also add more fiber and healthy ingredients to my daily eating routine.<\/p>\n

Part of it\u2019s tied to boosting my gut health, but it\u2019s largely based on a food-as-self-care mentality.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s my motivation behind this.<\/p>\n

Honestly, my recipes were less by-the-book and more rice-bowl hodgepodge than the traditional Boy Kibble. I opted for a variety of healthy ingredients, rather than the convenience and quickness of a meal designed to boost muscle growth.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not my goal, so I opted for healthy ingredients that would make these dishes enjoyable and not omit any necessary components of a typical lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n

Note: I didn\u2019t measure ingredient amounts; I just eyeballed it all to taste. Here\u2019s my base recipe:<\/p>\n

ground turkey (oven-browned)brown rice (cooked)soy saucegarlic powdersalt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Extras added to a few other versions:<\/p>\n

frozen veggies of carrots, broccoli, bell peppersfresh mushroomskale<\/p>\n

Once everything was cooked and prepared, it was tossed into a few glass tupperware containers for easy storage in the fridge to enjoy throughout the week.<\/p>\n

Very simple and easy to make. Provides nutritional value and variety to my meal-planning. I enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s less \u201ckibble\u201d and more a rice-bowl hodgepodge. I tried one simple rice-and-ground-turkey dish with soy sauce, but it wasn\u2019t anything special that made me want to eat it daily or even weekly.<\/p>\n

Anything with \u201ckibble\u201d in the name is best left for my dog.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with boy kibble or homemade varieties that include added nutrients and taste. It\u2019s just not necessarily what I would want to spend my time and energy on as a regular meal each week.<\/p>\n

Then again, I\u2019m not a Gen Z man. Nor am I boosting muscle mass or slimming down.<\/p>\n

With all of that said, I\u2019m fine with letting the younger generations have this one, and I\u2019ll stick to my Gen X eating styles with healthiness scattered in wherever I can manage it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"My homemade Boy Kibble included a protein-fiber boost and other healthy ingredients, but it wasn\u2019t focused on fitness…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":484620,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[224349,163,85,46,543],"class_list":["post-484619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-boy-kibble-hacks-and-alternatives","tag-health","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-nutrition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=484619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
