 Alright guys what is going on today's video is going to be nice and short nice and concise another diet tip with a low calorie high volume alternative to your everyday favourite which is oats or oatmeal. So oats is something I eat a lot I eat it all the time but today's video is going to be offering an alternative that is higher in volume still tasty and it's actually something you'd probably mix with your oats but not today. Today's alternative to the superfood they call oats is actually going to be different variations of berries whether that be fresh berries or frozen berries I tend to buy frozen berries because they're cheaper. If you eat frozen berries frozen they have fuck all taste you're going to use frozen berries for anything not just you know on their own like I'm talking about today but if you are going to use them for anything I would say heat them up that brings out the flavour because frozen berries can tend to be tasteless but in saying that we've got the oats and we've got the berries so like I said today's video is about having a lot of volume to help you stick to a calorically restricted diet personally I absolutely love strawberries I love raspberries and I love blackberries they are my top three you've obviously got you've got blueberries you've got cherries you've got mango you've got banana you've got kiwi fruit you've got all sorts of frozen fruit that you can buy but as far as obviously with the volume and low calorie these would have to be my top three so if we are going to talk about volume alright one serve of oats is 40 grams 40 grams of oats is absolutely nothing so for today's example I'm going to use a serve as 80 grams so that is two serves if you're looking at the packet but it's one serve to me so 80 grams of oats is what I'm going to use for this example now as far as macros and calories 80 grams of oats has 289 calories 10.2 grams of protein 7.4 grams of fat and 45.4 grams of carbs with 7.4 grams of fiber so 80 grams of oats is not a lot I think it's about a cup dry weight you mix that up with water or milk or whatever you want to use and it's going to volumeize it but still it's still not that much when we're talking about berries man volume volume volume and taste you know these will these will satisfy a sweet craving for me I've got a huge sweet too so that's another bonus but as well as that they are just absolutely fantastic when it comes to getting volume out of your calories so as I said these are my three favorite options not only because they taste the best but they're also the lowest in calories so if we're going to talk about concrete numbers here guys we're going to talk talk about macros calories I'm going to start with strawberries okay so like I said in today's video a server votes is 80 grams a serve of these is going to be an entire bag so 500 grams worth okay so you've got 80 grams of oats 289 calories a 500 gram bag of strawberries has 195 calories 4.5 grams of protein no fat and 40 grams of carbs now the one thing you've got to watch with berries when you eat too much is obviously the carbs are still coming from sugar there's not a lot else in there it's all sugar but like I said for the volume it's amazing I mean this entire bag has only 40 grams of carbs so obviously you know strawberries are the lowest in calorie I think anyone on a diet will probably have found that out and if not now you know strawberries as far as volume at just on point they're absolutely fantastic like I said you've got to heat them up a little bit they are quite tasteless frozen but that's up to you what you want to do secondly we've got raspberries these are the second lowest in calorie as far as the ones that I enjoy to eat we've got a 500 gram bag like before 246 calories 5.5 grams of protein so one gram more than this and 56 grams of carbs so probably about 15 or 16 grams of carbs more than in this bag but like I said still 80 grams of votes is 289 calories a whole bag of these is 246 calories you cannot go wrong and lastly I said I didn't want to take up too much of your time but this is important I really do believe anyone who's dieting even when you're not berries are just such a fantastic way to satisfy those sweet cravings and continue on your diet but anyways regardless a whole bag of these slightly more calories but still I mean blackberries are so nice I love them but 500 grams serve a whole bag like before 274 calories 6 grams of protein no fat and 62.5 grams of carbs so what do we got we've got strawberries with around about 40 grams of carbs we've got raspberries with like 55 56 grams of carbs and we've got blackberries with about 62 to 63 grams of carbs calories 195 calories for the entire bag 246 calories for the entire bag and 274 calories for the entire bag and that is opposed to two serves of 40 grams of oats which equals 80 grams which has a total of 289 calories so it doesn't matter what one you choose the entire bag is going to be less calories than one tiny little fucking serve of oats and to me that is fantastic for dieting that's exactly what I want to know exactly what I want to eat berries are fantastic like I said before at the start you'll probably mix berries with oats so at the end of the day you're probably not going to eat these by themselves I do eat them by themselves I think they're absolutely fine that's up to you that was just one more diet tip from me to you I hope you guys are enjoying them there's more to come there's so many options out there when it comes to dieting that's the beauty of flexible dieting and if it fits your macros you know you don't have to go crazy on it but it does help when you understand what is on the back of a packet and then you can make your own informed decisions so until next time guys have a great day that was me with a diet tip for you guys I hope you enjoyed I'll see you in the next one peace
