 Ladies and gentlemen, Sal and Mike back with another video. I told you we're gonna show you what I've been eating Someone told me this means eat in certain cultures Someone told me Here with the buddies you'll see them in a second one of my favorite grocery stores We're gonna try to show you guys like a quick snack easy protein meal I eat something that I might typically cook and then we'll also show you possibly eating out and what am I order? Trying to be healthy get some veggies and some microbes will still get my protein and my goals here at the grocery store We've got the boys they're gonna be piling things in the car to don't pay attention to them, but I'll show you the basics I'm not a meal prep guy. I'm not like a pay big attention to labels guy right now. I'm going by fuel I'm not tracking everything, but I have tracked my food for a very long time So I'm pretty aware of what I'm throwing in my body Just got a quick session. I'll untame. Hopefully you'll see some of that footage I still got a string tonight twitch give this thing a thumbs up. Let's hop in. Let's get some food I'm probably gonna get hot food to some starving. Hey, come here, man. Let me show you a secret This guy secretly I don't know if you know like he's probably not done a lot of videos like this I know we didn't one together in LA. That's great. This guy's the wizard of hippie food Yeah, so if you want to get your gut right and your colon and all that yeah, this guy's got you so uh, no joke Oh, look at the potassium on that shit You talk electrolytes so Gatorade is basically just this and they're essentially the same price But the ratio between the two and actually the carbohydrate amount if you look at something a rehydration if you Google it There's actually some research on it and Gatorade is just fancy sugar water basically So you might as well have something that tastes good and this ratio itself between the amount of milliliters to the carbohydrates I'm in C content. That's true. Okay Look at this. I would get protein bars, but I tend to eat like two in a day when they're in my house So I don't get them again. We're not fixing habits here who are working around It's gonna be a stick. Let's see if there's anything that I'll try it Means not the other issues. They're not really protein bars. Yeah Yeah, we're talking like ratios. This looks like it look good right here. Let's just take a look at these macros It's not all about macros So obviously about trying to fit everything calories per serving. This is 200 calories A low calorie boys to see if we're in a household with individuals like to eat a lot of food It's difficult for them honestly to adhere to their nutritional paradigm. So Having food in the house Having things that they wouldn't over snack on so high palatability foods I'd actually recommend against for these individuals right here These are boys but focusing on choices foods that they could eat any day of the week that they like when they cut When they're in a maintenance when they're in a surplus So just whatever that might be at things you can eat every single day, but not super palatable food So I think ice cream right ice cream is it can you control yourself to not eat? The whole time if you can eventually you haven't in the house questionable, but what are some things you're getting? The basics baby Yeah, I really don't snack on much because I'm such a snacker. I try not to keep yumminess in my house Yeah, we've got issues kids Well, we're self-aware issues Disorders like is self-aware. I'm highly self-aware. What's the rexia? No eating disorders. No Self-aware high may happen. I think I have the self-awareness of a 60 Like you don't care about class right before I say something. Okay. I don't care about anything So whatever honest, so if you want check this out. I'm not I'm not talking shit about this particular brand as 20 grams of protein I'm fine See the name of the brand so the dietary fiber So they always have the problem hydrogen they sub it out by putting our fish sweeters That's fine. That's not you know the crazy thing but the amount of fiber 15 grains If you eat a few these a day and you can't probably digest this fiber you're backed up not to mention also. It's super hard That is fiber whatever it's a little sketchy fiber of a fiber in general a little on the fact You're not getting the hydration in or if it's an abnormal amount for you might get Everyone thinks more fiber more fiber is wonderful. Yeah, but consistencies in more what's the recommended amount I don't know just about 10 grams for a thousand calories. So if you think I eat 10,000 calories a day Give me 20 bars Yes, let's see what we got here. Let's make some good choices Maybe brown sugar Just a little cereal you far away is that what you're doing? Yeah, I do a lot of Greek yogurt Not for that to get my protein in dairy protein And I just don't like yogurt at all to be honest, so I literally get it just for the whey protein So I like to throw something in there normally I do serious Texture and then a little bit of flavor to it because it's kind of like sour. I Don't really care what but this looks all right Lowish fat Game on this is really what I want to play with but we got to keep moving boys. We can't say an ice cream I'll stay in ice cream. I'll do long this card's gonna be full once you think there's five of us I'm thinking maybe five of the New York Yeah Okay, mom yeah five probably the biggest ones you got it Have to pick me up. This coffee the suppressors out The string kids go to the grocery store and now we're back home from the grocery store Follow Omar Esau on Instagram. He's posting a lot more skin recently ladies a lot more skin if you know what I'm saying he Gentlemen and he may or may not Have started a fans only. I don't know I can't say I can't say for certain We're going basic tonight But Connor before behind the cameras thinks he's a chef all of a sudden because he watches two YouTube videos Just like you guys watch a couple YouTube videos and all of a sudden you think you're a bodybuilder So we got some of this stuff as well But time it's all we really have Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then I don't even know what else you got rosemary So little little little fancy-ish with the steaks. I bought some like pretty nice New York steaks pretty heavy The biggest boys in there a little expensive basic broccoli. We'll probably just steam it do something And then rice cook it up steam it as well easy simple efficient I love steak New York's a real good balance if you guys are trying to get a good tasting steak That's not too fatty. I am a ribeye guy But they tend to be a little bit fatty if you're trying to be a little bit conscious of that So we're gonna dive in we're gonna tenderize the meat right here on this little thing Right it was showing my bonsai dude The meats we're gonna it's a room temp before you before you get her in the pan So that's step one kind of depends obviously on your goals and what you guys are doing nutritionally But for me because I don't like to get too caught up in tracking just mentally doesn't work me that well And I'm just not that strict. I'm not trying to step on stage. I try to get majority my plate My plate would actually probably look a little bit different to be honest. I'll give my majority move plate greens and protein Let's say over over 60% those And then a hair of carbs kind of penny and because I do love Some desserts. I might I might like to get some carbs here and go get some ice cream That would be the normal for me, but again the New York strips or really tasty protein steak that if you guys want to get into That's not too fatty. You hop in a ribeye. You might get a little fatty depending on Your personal taste or macronutrient breakdowns. There's a lot of different steaks try tips Obviously delicious, but it's a little bit fatty as well. It depends on your personal preference Steak is one of my favorite foods for sure But there's a lot of cheaper things to you just get a little chuck roast and stuff like that. That's more lean Doesn't always taste the best, but it gets the job done if you're trying to prep out. Obviously. I don't like meal prep I really like food And if you cook steak for the next week and you're eating on day five It just doesn't tend to taste that great and same with chicken, etc. etc If you do have time I do suggest cooking a nice meal overnight I think the better tasting your food that you know the better chance for adherence one You're gonna enjoy it more enjoy the experience. I was really lucky growing up to have not only parents I were like married, but I have a family and we have family dinner every single night So my mom worked at a high school or so she got off when I got to God damn it We're getting sentimental team Mom worked at a high school So I was really lucky that she her hours were pretty much over when my hours were or she sometimes had meetings But she'd be done at four or five and she'd cook dinner and Literally, I'd say 95 to 99 percent of my life up until I was 18 we'd have dinner together So and honestly it looked a lot like this. It's kind of how mom's cooked pretty healthy I ate a bunch of junk food as a kid and I didn't have clue about nutrition I'm slamming cheese. It's all day long and coca-cola, but besides that generally speaking we had really good meals So if you want to get more, you know in-depth and you want to track your food all that you just weigh this out It's pretty simple We can't really go wrong with majority of your plate being protein majority of your plate being some kind of greens and it's Lipping in some lower fat carbs, but That's what I got what am I eating for breakfast? So glad you asked let me talk about little hacks right here so while we went to the shack and I'll show you just a few things oatmeal. How typical is that yogurt? Hey Connor How many cans of yogurt have I eaten so far on this trip a disgusting amount a disgusting amount because I actually do like Yogurt we don't have Chobani Chobani bro in Canada. So I tried this out look it out But check this out Mike is the first person to hit me to this 16 grams of protein So you can look at all the macronutrients whatever 90 calories per serving this one right here I actually probably have two servings left in here and what I do honestly because there's no scale in here This is 900 grams. I break it up. Basically. I eat this over three days So that's 300 grams and then each servings about 170 grams. So each portion is about two servings of this So 180 calories, but we're getting right there 32 grams of protein. That's a lot In terms of carbohydrates six grams. That's negligible That's good milk substitute. I actually like go milk, but almond milk once again It's a low calorie option You probably can't taste the difference between that and milk and I should say taste different when you're like I'm you know drinking water here 30 calories. That's low Blueberries high volume you take a look at this once again per serving. So per cup right here 80 calories We're adding this up breakfast is probably around 800 to 850 calories and then lastly Just for convenience the oatmeal We're actually getting the instant microwavable variety as opposed to doing a still cut oats And then we have right here. So we do two packets. So if we're doing the math We've got one fitting and that's 31 grams. I'll have the macros up here But that's 300 calories because we've been in two packets. We have one serving of this that's 80 calories So we're at 380. We have two servings of this right here. So that's 180 plus 380 So that's talking 560 and then lastly we have probably a cup of this probably a little less than that But we're talking almost 600 calories just to get the potty started for breakfast And then normally what I do I have a piece of fruit. So again for breakfast I tend to have my carbohydrates around my exercise So breakfast and then lunch will be more carb-heavy higher calorie and then dinner will be lighter But those are the things I find for myself. I could eat this every damn day. It's tasty I don't feel afterwards like oh man. I was having a low-fat yogurt. I'm starving right a lot of it is a mindset I find this is maybe the last tip right now We condition ourselves to feel a certain way where if you think you're depriving yourself like all like instead of regular Milk, it's all my milk. It's only 30 calories if I was to give you a glass of this you might say yeah That doesn't taste like milk But if I was to say it's a cup of milk you wouldn't say oh that tastes like 90 calories left per cup So sometimes we get in our head is what I'm saying And I think choosing some of these options and making sure maybe the last tip right here check this out dead body in there That you have choices inside your house where there's nothing crazy if you have Trigger foods one you have to get over that but in here as an example like I was joking But is there regular profits like no there's diet stuff in there. There's various condiments. There's a pasta There's some more oatmeal. There's some cold brew coffee Basically stocking your fridge or stocking your pantry with things that you're comfortable eating that you won't overeat Things that you can make on a regular basis, and you don't feel like you're depriving yourself some examples of how I eat when I eat Dive in and again. I'm not tracking my food I have so many stresses in my life, and I've talked about some of that anxiety and stuff I've dealt with my entire life, but especially recently So the last thing I'm trying to manage is my mental health on top of it So what that means for me is trying to balance what I put priority on and although I want to lose weight I'm a little thicker than I want to be although. I want to get strong I'm a little weaker than I want to be I want to build some of my muscle back that I lost In priority of feeling good and scheduling. I can't track my food right now, and I can't just be Mr. Strict I need to Find a natural flow with my food because other things in my life Are causing me too much stress if that makes sense the stress tank is just one little tank here And that's why our PE and things got so popular, but for me Lifting is just not top-top priority, and I know that may shock some of you since this is a fitness channel and powerlifting But I have other things I'm trying to do we're really trying to build a podcast again I have two businesses. I'm launching right now Perhaps a third Twitch streams really important come hang out So so it's nutrition is down here. I'm eating well and focusing on protein and personally when I eat out or when I order in I'm just trying to lower fat not because fat to the devil not because fat makes you fat But it's just more calorie dense so Shout out to my guys over at Vi bar if you guys are in northern California They have a couple locations and it's kind of like a health juice bar But they have a bunch of like wraps burrito bowls, etc. They have this chicken wrap It has some kind of like medium spicy sauce on it. Probably not many calories. It's chicken lettuce and like jalapeno There's nothing going on in there. It comes with avocado one. I don't like avocado To avocado although it's healthy fat It is just more calories So I always just get rid of it because I don't enjoy it that much I don't hate it but that goes with a lot of the foods like ranch and all these other things that people really love I don't like which helps me eliminate some of the fat in my diet. So chicken wrap. I got a coffee. I already drank it again with First steps I take when I'm getting the diet or even just trying to lose a little weight I take away calories from my drinks black coffee diet sodas waters all I drink Energy drinks no calorie. I focus my priority and every meal is protein Again, this is lettuce and chicken in there and then I slowly take away fat And I take away some of my snacking so I try not to eat too many meals in between But honestly diets going medium. I wouldn't say I've been doing super well on it Not that I'm you know eating pints of ice cream every night, but I'm just not Probably eating more calories than I need but it is what it is. I'm doing my best Hopefully you guys enjoyed this look into how I eat into my nutrition into my life into my lifestyle More videos vlogs potentially coming soon with some of these new projects were coming We're gonna have some stories to tell you but the comeback continues Jim's feeling really good this week was probably the best Jim week I've had in maybe a year Smash some deadlifts felt really good squats felt really really good Ben still felt heavy But it moved really well Compositions get a little bit better. We're recomping although Again, I am a little bit heavier than I want to be but I'm gonna adding cardio eventually I'm gonna try to get a spin bike here at my house So I don't have to spend hours at the gym, but we're on an upward swing, man We're on an upward swing. It's just nutrition. I'm honest with you guys I'm not gonna say like I just ate tilapia and broccoli all week and something wrong with my metabolism I can't lose weight. I mean truth is is I need to not put so much focus on my nutrition right now I'm doing well. I could do better, but I'm not gonna stress it on myself or rely to you guys So hopefully enjoyed the video But sure to give this thing a thumbs up to come back series every single Monday We might have some bonus videos a brand new gaming channel on YouTube if you guys are in the nerd things check that out Silent my gaming will try to link it or follow me on Instagram. So I might go 2k as we posted there brand new podcast Wednesday Salam I appreciate you guys around
