[0302jackie]

Thank you for your videos, very informative, very good, keep them coming pls. Only here one comment, saw you put the hot cooked food in plastic containers..is that good? Read somewhere its not good...something like plastic produces some kind of chemical in reaction to hot food??

[Hope4DreamKDE]

[MrKingArschfick]

You need a assfuck dork!

[MrOriggs]

Great video.

[dharmabummin]

What people don't seem to understand or appreciate is that a bodybuilder isn't the end result, bodybuilding is a way of life. Its a process that takes time, and frankly anyone who says this guy is "small" is out of their mind. Besides, for all appearances he looks pretty buff to me. Keep up the good work bro.

[kertcobainSA]

i shit you not. best bodybuilding cooking vid on YouTube.

[itouch00]

I like this dude. Well done mate keep it up.

[TheMrwaseem]

no offense but if u know alot about bodybuilding why arent u that buff or mucsculer or big ?

[ajs1850]

@TheMrwaseem are u fucking kidding me....hes jacked

[THuGZZTA]

@TheMrwaseem His underarmor is too big. If he wore won that fit him he would look jacked.

[tibiaroxxxx]

@TheMrwaseem Because it takes time ffs.

[Smoman17]

Yo u should probably wash that fish before baking' it

[dafuksup]

[TheAbe1212]

[StudyingTheTruth7]

13:17 iphone

[SayHeIsOne]

You must make more

[SayHeIsOne]

Your nutrition vids are the best on the net, no joke. You should make more

[ukmale164]

@SayHeIsOne Yeah i agree bud, I've saw hundreds of videos and none are as in-depth or as long; plus none about preparation.

[lgautreau07]

Great video, man. Also, I understand about the haters. It sucks that people look at you weird when you take out your lunchbox with your four prepacked foods. But there will always be haters; we just have to believe in ourselves. Again, great video and advice; hope you do well in your future competitions.

P.S. Your horseshoes were looking nasty, man. :)

[bigshowoff321]

hey man can you do a review of the six pack bag

[bordergreasa]

I wish you the best man and keep up your hard work

[kenyahshadup]

im hungry now :O

[DjiEnn]

Wow. Why are you wasting water like that.

[NickTseTennis]

Hey JR, how long do you cook the chicken thighs for? Because whenever I use the foreman grill, it just burns the top and the chicken never cooks all the way through.

[MrTblake2055]

Chipotle mrs dash...The bomb digady my man

[cutegirl00179]

Okay, after eating all that good food, do you still buy whey, and other products?

[gsmlocks]

Cheers for all the info!!! Nice and simple!

[craKeNS]

How many grams of pasta you eat a day?

[Bourne2bwild1989]

Looks good, but where are the veggies? Fiber is a must.

[stef88sf]

You're a cool guy, thumbs up

[LaPajuela]

hey JR i used to see your old vids and i barely strted seeing these new ones u got and you can definetly tell you have learned alot along the way two thumbs up, also great attitude you got about all the haters that are out there dont even worry about em cuz there will always be people hating on successful people and besides theyre probably fat or ugly lol, so keep it up man good nutrition, training and way to go with the preperation cuz thats the key to healthy eating!

[Mangledcorpse]

nice video man ! can you do one now with your actual diet ? I'm actually dieting now and would like yo learn new things from you. keep them coming you rule ;)

[formulaformula1133]

woow, but, was all the 5 small boxes food for one day? the 5 boxes you made at the end i am talking about : p

[gman0345]

as someone else stated, heated olive oil goes from healthy to unhealthy.

[gman0345]

man you guys ask so many fuckin stupid questions, he is here to help but seriously you can find answers to half the questions your asking on the internet, he cant possibly answer all your dumb questions, dont be so lazy do some research (awesome vid by the way, u should use your macadamia nut oil on the fish)

[Ntzex]

how many calories do you eat on a regular lifting day?

[BIGJAC2699]

Awesome video, dude! Very helpful.

PEACE!

[3vil1]

If you just used fresh herbs and spices, it would make a world of difference!!!

[SuperPrO1987]

for how many day's is that food you prepared?

[scottbarlek]

how many calories are in one of those meals

[xpkux]

where are you from?

[bjpenn85]

how long do you cook those chicken thighs on the george foreman grill? and what temp?

[rikiquik]

hey barthel, how long will the food u cook last, like how much u cooked in this vid, is that an amount for 2- 3 days, like wats the time frame/ amount of food ratio for 6 meals?

[chivo9194]

What type of George Foreman Grill do u use in the video??

[firemon232]

Buddy,you seriously inspired others including me to do well in this sport.Your words are encouraging."Everyone have to start somewhere,no matter how skinny/fat you are," if everyone thinks like you it would be awesome!

[HOAKSRECORDS]

I need a guy like you to me for my meals;)))))))

[AndreGDJ]

I thought chipotle makes you bleed from your anus?

[gekisen01]

hey dude, how long can you keep your prepared food in tupperware stored in the fridge before it goes bad?

[joralva100]

how much weight are you losing each week?

[bigshahftw]

them meals looked really nice =D

[jackasskid001]

I power trip on olive oil b/c I like getting my fats more from almond/peanut butter, or other stuff ya know?

How do you know you're getting enough/not too much fat in with the estimated olive oil drippings? Just got a feeling er what?

[MillerMan8228]

I know what you mean by people getting you down, im so skinny i dont even want to go to the gym because i know people will look at me 24/7 because im so little.

[Colyers]

Hey JR

about how long do your cook that tilapia for? Also when you put your spinach on your food for later (like in the container) do you microwave it also? Doesn't that make it all nasty and soggy?

[nbandy3]

Hey JR

with the talapia, i know your on low carb just like me

but with the fish you can lightly crumb it in bread crumbs and either pan fry or grill

both ways are fukn awesome man

[snakedoctorcharmer]

What do you eat for breakfast? Do you include juice with your meals or milk or is water your liguid?

[Djolesabijacica]

when you heat olive oil,it becomes same as plant oil...just so you know in future

[Jsahadi]

Thanks for posting this vid man! I'm 17 years old and have been doing bodybuilding for about a year now. I weigh 165 right now and i eventually want to get to 190. This will help a lot! thanks!

[Pedrohacs]

Thanks ! Very nice video...

[Senchy85]

JR, Just found you thru Scott Herman Fitness… This is the best Video I have seen in a long time about food, it wasn’t just the food it is how you made it by yourself no help with camera anything good stuff . I support you 100%. Q: how many days will that last you? Like 5 containers of food that you made is that just for 1 day and everything else later? Another Q: food usually don’t taste the same after few days of sitting? Should we froze it or just use fridge? If that make séance…

[dbizzle7353]

It seems like you used a lot of olive oil. Does that go with the eating more fat due to lower carbs right now? Personally I don't like the taste of olive oil but I'll put a teaspoon or less in a prepared box of wheat pasta because otherwise it sticks and is just awful warmed up.

[rafael1877]

all this food made me very hungry, heading to the kitchen right now!

[boxfabio]

Nice videos your kinda in the right way ;)

IMO you cook your food with more fat then you need !?!?!

looks a bit fatty , i do my meals with no fat and add raw olive oil after but not much

[tune5k]

that's a lot of chicken...when cooking that much, do you refrigerate the rest or freeze any? i figure chicken lasts about 3-5 days, or maybe just 3 in the fridge? do you eat all of that chicken within the time or do any go bad? i have this problem where i cook a lot of chicken and usually eat it for dinner only and lunch is usually fish. and after about 3-5 days i think it goes bad. what do you do?

[NJnaturalBB]

@tune5k Fat is great! I eat the same amount of calories from fat as I do protein, it has so many benefits.

[tune5k]

@NJnaturalBB exactly.

[piinkEverything]

you are sexxxy!!

[barthelfitness]

@piinkEverything thanks darlin

[PacoTheAnimal]

New apartment?

[tune5k]

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[daeHeotatoPrM]

When nutrition labels on rice and pasta give a serving size of say 1 cup, is that 1 cup before it's cooked, or after? There's quite a substantial difference between the two.

[NJnaturalBB]

@daeHeotatoPrM Its cooked.

[wonderfulWORLD16]

i really want your ricecooker :D can oyu tell me which one you have?

[DjNeGaTiV]

Keep the videos coming man, they are very useful! Good luck!

[TheKevstreet]

will always support JR !!

[Phearix]

hey man, this is one of my first vids that i watched of yours and i gotta say man you are my inspiration and i mean it. Those words you said meant alot to me because i actually had people make fun of me when i started out and im way ahead of them now and still not where i wanna be. To all those haters out there who still call you skinny or not big, have no life, they cant appreciate what you love because they are filled with hate and if you ask me man, where you are at right now you lookgreatman

[NamesEdward]

hey JR! What brand of tupperware are you using? Since im not sure if all tupperware are microwavable.

[MiKill93]

Of course i have a rice cooker.

*Asian Pride*

[giorgios95]

[giorgios95]

[fizwizx]

[kioller]

[PilotCube]

I accidentally pressed the 'like' button, but I was going to press it anyway, so double win! =) <3

[oZackkx]

Damn thanks for that video man. You are really looking jacked.i mean ur arms chest and shoulders are massive and cut! Keep it up

[DuffTheBassMasta]

Hey JR can you make a video about carb cycling or a cutting diet video? Something that informs about Carbs and Protein ratio when cutting.

[MrFisherman86]

have got so much time for this dude! keep doing it JR your flying the flag mate!

[CohoesThrower23]

good stuff big fella keep your head up screw the haters

[therealfreddyp]

What happened to the six pack bags? Do you still use it?

[imBIGGERthanYOUr]

im alot bigger than u r

[Irawdom]

You've got a great attitude about this stuff dude. Keep truckin!

[iOscartheGrouch]

Woah, I don't even watch porn vids this long.

It's a great video tho! I like the new house, just wish the audio was louder.

That's the basic diet I formed in my head that I thought would be good for me, minus the spinach, forgot about that bad boy..

It's just so expensive..:/

I need more protein from different sources other than powder tho..

Thank fer yer halp!:DD

[maguilar51]

That pasta and chicken looked really delicious. And what you said about people talking down is so true man but it just adds fuel to ur fire to want to succeed and do better! Ur the man JR u and everyone else supporting the barthelfitness are an insperation!

-Martin

[handlovitch]

Wow, this video was 22minutes long, and I watched the whole thing. Great Video, Definitely going to pick some things up.

[you411116tube]

Very cool....thanks for the great video!

[ewittstruck3]

Very good video man. You are a huge inspiration to me! Keep it up!

[mikerstudios]

Been following your channel since the beginning, and wow it's really taking off. Great work JR! It's always great motivation to sit down before the gym and watch some of your cooking or workout videos. I really appreciated the part where you took a second to speak with everyone on what you think a bodybuilder is. You're a great motivation for me, personally, so thanks! Keep it up! How far out is the competition?

[SkyeKingdoM]

This is one of your best vids yet no joke

[Fragoso93]

Keep the cooking videos coming! :)

[BDRJAMES]

brilliant video

how long could you keep those meals in your fridge though out of interest?

cheers

[mark43294]

Keep up the hard work bro

[voteforalan]

Those 6 dislikes are Vince Delmonte fans.

JR for life fool.

[DaveTaylor0209]

trying my hardest to get into bodybuilding and jogging, been drinking and smoking for a few years its hard to get into it :(

[bumspew]

love your videos mate, so much nicer to listen to a genuine guy instead of some meat head bodybuilder

[AnusOner]

Good video man. One of your best!

[OohhWTF]

can you briefly explain the effects of cutting too much? by too much i mean like less then 100 grams of carbs a day for a 180 pound 5-11 male who lifts 4 days and runs 3 days /week.

i like the longer video by the way

[nickfs442]

great great video man.. very helpful. keep it up.. im smaller and ive been lifting for about 6 months.. doing insanity also. My friends still give me shit just cause im small.. but I guess we'll see when summer comes around :)

[barthelfitness]

@nickfs442 thats the right mindeset!

[claudia1515]

great video.. awesome.. loved the food..

[barthelfitness]

@claudia1515 thank you it really means so much to me!

[evohxla]

[rjp9871]

[barthelfitness]

@rjp9871 right now around 2600

[rjp9871]

hey man true words!! sry if i was ever a dick!!

[94Smallen]

Good looking tasty meal, great vid JR. Really liked your view on the haters and all that. Your doing great, your videos are a great motivation for me. Good luck to you and your upcoming bodybuilding competition!!

[NamesEdward]

Dude we have the same microwave and stove.... you're my hero!!

[rjp9871]

barthel i dont ever see u measuring or weighing anything how can u cut when u dont know how many calories ur getting?

[barthelfitness]

@rjp9871 i know what im putting in my body, i had about 1 cup of pasta, 8 ounces of chicken and fish. I know my body and what I put in it, right now i dont need to weight out my food. Even though i did take out a measuring cup in this video...

[rjp9871]

@barthelfitness yeah i know u measured the pasta i jus meant the olive oil and chicken cuz i thought u had to be really precise on a cut

[rjp9871]

@barthelfitness yeah i know u measured the pasta i jus meant the olive oil and chicken cuz i thought u had to be really precise on a cut and i also meant other cooking vids uve done

[xxzipitxx]

@barthelfitness I know my body pretty well and Ive eaten really healthly from the start and didnt pack on some weight very much I want to because im underweight anyways So i went to bad unhealthy food for high calorie content for carbs and protein like cheeseburgers I gained weight Amazingly nice solid weight but Negtive side to it was acney so im back to healthy food to keep away acney witch is working well anyways can healthy food pack on weight ? Its hard for me to eat 5 meals a day it self.

[redddddd2]

@rjp9871 all depends on your workout, how long and the intensity, weighing is a personal choice

[rjp9871]

barthel i dont ever see u measuring anything how can u cut when u dont know how many calories ur getting?

[rjp9871]

nice vid but in the new house its hard to hear u

[Scorpio3667]

JR, do you reheat your rice in the microwave?

[SkyeKingdoM]

How long do you cook your tilapia for? @ 350f

[topcod3r]

Nice man, I just think you use a bit too much olive oil and salt..

for how long this food can last in the fridge?

[MCPLUM]

nice video man....

LOL: "this one needs a bit more" - i know what you mean.... it's never "oops need to take a bit out"

[brensten32]

hey barthel what george foreman grill is that? there are so many grills i dont know what the best/ price performance grill is.

[liftin4life86]

Hey JR at what times of the day do you eat your carb meals? Im assuming pre and post workout but what about the third?

[barthelfitness]

@liftin4life86 breakfast!

[liftin4life86]

@barthelfitness I thought you said you only eat egg whites and some fruit for breakfast I mean your third meal with pasta do you have any specific order you eat your meals in like low carb, carb, low carb, carb, workout, carb, low carb, bedtime?

[barthelfitness]

@liftin4life86 breakfast pre and post workout meals

[synftw]

These are the kinda vids I miss! One question though, don't you think you're using too much olive oil?? Or does it not matter too much

[barthelfitness]

@synftw no, It may look like I added allot but it comes out in a small small load! I bet each meal has 1.5 servings or so is how I eye it up.

[mrrwilliamt]

nice video .liked that it was long enough to see start to finish..i prep the same way and now i see that im actually doing it rite,,im just now starting out and have looked into bodybuilding for a while now but wanted to have the basics down..and understand the nutrition part - being the the key..anyways keep up the good work..

[ragedskillz]

Really great video, thanks! You're one of the few who actually goes over the most important aspect for bodybuilding -- diet/nutrition.

There are some good questions below that need clarification. To also add something, are any individual meals or big left over containers put into the freezer or is it all stored in the refrigerator?

[barthelfitness]

@ragedskillz I put them in the fridge, ill eat all this food in 2-3 days!

[metalanimeking]

Great vid man, Keep it up!

[meatypoptart]

Do you eat right after workouts?

[duweyjoe]

you should host ashow on food network! Bodybuilding meals made easy. be the new rachel ray

[agu003]

nice

[MovieMusic102]

do you drink alcohol? or is bad for ur diet?

[brensten32]

very good points at the end barthel. we do all start from scratch and really who gives a fuck about what others think? i hope bodybuilding one day become more widely accepted
