Hunter Labrada presents a high-calorie fried rice dish for building Muscle
Here’s the breakdown of his recipe:
- 300 grams Jasmine rice (8g protein, 86g carbs, 0g fat)
- 200 grams Beef sirloin (54g protein, 0g carbs, 28g fat)
- Siracha Maple Flavor Gang Sauce
- 2 Eggs
- Truffle Salt
- Sesame Seeds
- Everything Bagel Seasoning
- Takeout Sauce from Flavor Gang
- White onion
- Green onion
Labrada incorporates Flavor Gang sauces for added seasoning in his culinary creation.
“This is a big secret for making your food taste good, Flavor Gang sauces I can’t say enough good things about these things. It makes my food incredible, it’s good enough that three times in prep I was traveling and ran out and literally made Ross overnight it to my hotel.”
Moreover, for those indulging in white rice regularly, Hunter Labrada recommends using a Zojirushi rice maker for convenience.
“This is another one of those little-known meathead secrets, it’s the Zorirushi hi rice maker. So it is expensive but if you eat white rice five times a day years on end like I do it’s so worth it,” shared Labrada. “It makes rice significantly better than anything I’ve ever had it out of. I’m a big fan of them.”

Previously reliant on liquid calories, Labrada now opts for solid foods, emphasizing a preference for finely chopped meals.
“A really lean cut of beef [sirloin],” said Hunter Labrada. “I’m a big proponent of getting my food as cut up and pre-chewed as possible. I think the last video you all saw me do, I was still drinking a lot of my food. I’m not doing that anymore but still definitely doing what I can to make it as easy to get down as possible, not that appetite is an issue right now.”
Having finely chopped the egg, Labrada savored his high-calorie muscle-building fried rice.
“Dice the egg up pretty fine on top and then I just kind of stir it all up. Like I said at the beginning of the video, it’s kind of like meathead stir fry fried rice.”
“That is one of my go-to high-calorie muscle-building meals.”
Hunter Labrada’s dietary commitment has heightened. In a recent pre-workout nutrition discussion with his father, Lee, they emphasized the importance of simplicity in meal choices before demanding training sessions.
