digital scale: i use the one from kitchen guru. you put in a code for your food and it gives you the full nutrition values. it will also track all of your macro intake for the day
foreman grill: it pulls the fat out from your ground meat and is very easy to cook on
stone wear non stick omlete pan with lid. very easy to clean and nothing sticks, no spray necessary
extra large cookie sheets: use these for cooking pounds of fish at a time in the oven
crock pot: you can cook and keep your fish chicken beef or whatever very moist and tender with this bad boy. turn it on and leave it
rice cooker: i steam all my rice and veges in this bad boy. same as crock pot, turn it on and forget about it
blender/food processor: i just upgraded to the ninja system and it is fantastic. i had an oyster one that was both blender and processor from walmart that worked very very well also
wet/dry measuring cups: lots of these cause you can never find them. get the ones that the measures are stamped on and not written. the writing wears off haha
lemon/lime squeezer: like a pair of pliers. makes getting lemon or lime juice very easy early in the am
waffle iron: make protein pancakes and waffles on this from time to time to change it up

ok a good trick i picked up for consuming lots and lots of protein, beef/chicken mainly. go ahead and grill up some steaks or chicken breasts. cut into cubes and toss them into the processor and blend them down to a pulled pork consistency. add sauce and toss into a tuperware container. it is fast to eat and digests fast as well.
carbs in a pinch: process your oats into a fine powder. add in some cinnamon or whatever you want to flavor it with. toss that in a shaker and add water. cup of carbs to go

problems with moisture in your chicken fish or steak. i will make up a aluminum foil packet toss in some meat with jalepenos or some veges and wrap it tight. throw it on the grill for 20 min each side and it steams the meat and traps the moisture in very well. you can also do this with various marinades as well

i will put up new stuff as i go but right now i am drawing a blank. throw up any questions and it may jog my mind a little bit
