 Ladies and gentlemen style of mind welcome back today. Today. I want to talk a little bit about my nutrition I am on the goal for the shreds life. I am on the mission for aesthetics So I'm watching my nutrition a little bit if you haven't I suggest all of you track your food for I don't know six months Maybe even a year to just start to understand how your body reacts to different nutrition macro nutrient ratios as well as Just starting to learn it's something we never learned in school and we don't learn grown up What type of calories are in each food and the best way to do that is to track it before you eat it And I did that for so long So now we're kind of going on more of more of an intuitive route kind of just going by feel because I know pretty much What I eat where and we want to talk about fast food eating today a little bit of convenient eating and then even some of the Things that I might make or do at home again. I don't have a strict calories right now I kind of go by feel depending on how hard my training is how I'm looking how I'm weighing But generally speaking I'd say I'm trying to eat anywhere from 200 250 carbs Anywhere from 50 to maybe 80 grams of fat and anywhere from 200 to maybe 200 grams of protein a day Some of the favorite things I like to eat is probably high high priority on the list Chick-fil-a So we're gonna dig into that in a second. I eat a good amount of Chipotle It's easy to balance kind of a burrito and a Chipotle bowl depending on how much carbs you want and without you know A bunch of sour cream and a bunch of cheese you can keep it a little bit lower fat Or you can do light rice or light beans keep it a little bit lower carb as well as I'm supported by and Smelted by bite meals, which makes it super convenient. So they ship out meals that are generally high protein Moderate carb and low-ish fat. You just throw them in the microwave for a little bit. They're pretty fresh They only last about five days. So Not not like over preserved or anything and those taste delicious and they're also very convenient when I'm at home When I'm on the road or I'm traveling about Videos gyms, whatever might be You know obviously some like Chick-fil-a or Chipotle it might be easier to drive through eat on the way So most people you know you think fast food you think even Chipotle Chick-fil-a you think you know unhealthy or garbage food And and there are a lot of unhealthy unhealthy options there But you can always cut back on the calories depending on the choices you make everything's about Moderation balance and what you eat throughout, you know, not only just one meal But a day a week a month a year those calories those macronaturant breakups is what's gonna matter So you can make better choices no matter where you go You know simple things like if you're eating out you do salad with a dressing on the side Instead of getting a burger and french fries you get a burger and a salad or a burger and some steamed veggies on the side You're always asking your waitress to not put butter on your veggies or whatever little things like that is very simple tweaks Not necessarily changes so you have to you know be a little hermit in your house Eating salads and tilapia all day alone To look a little bit better to lose a little bit of fat and gain a little bit of muscle You can be social and just tweak how you order in which you order So when I go to Chick-fil-A, I have a pretty balanced meal Some people do a good job of maybe having more of a calorie dense meal or junkier meal You know dinner and healthier lunch and breakfast Or lower calorie breakfast and lunch for me I like to balance each meal a little bit with my cars protein and fat And so at Chick-fil-A what I like to do is they have grilled nuggets, which are absolutely delicious It is literally just grilled chicken. I do a little bit of barbecue sauce But I normally get two eight count there So there's just a good amount of protein a hair of fat and maybe a Sprinkle a dash of carbohydrates from maybe some stuff that they cook it with or who knows what I don't I'm not even sure But we'll give you all the macronutrient breakdown at the end and then because you can't go to Chick-fil-A and get not get the real deal I just get a Chick-fil-A sandwich. Yes, it's fried. Yes, it has some carbs and bread But because these the the grilled nuggets are so low in fat I get a little bit of fat from that and it tastes delicious I tend to get kind of my veggies and fruits in in the morning and then my veggies and fruits in at night And lunch is midday when I'm kind of jamming away at emails or content or streaming or working out I tend to eat a little bit more like this on the road. So basic Chick-fil-A sandwich, you know The the the fried one the delicious one. They also have a grilled one depending on you know If I maybe I wanted to do you know the fried nuggets and do a grilled sandwich You can always you know balance things out like that but the the regular sandwich is 41 carb 20 grams of fat or so and about 30 grams of protein. So overall not too much again a little bit higher in the fat and Then the nuggets According to my fitness pal and this may be accurate, you know everything's not perfect But if you're not trying to step on stage and you're just kind of trying to lean out or live a healthier life You could easily estimate with these for all 16 nuggets is about 70 grams of protein And basically about grant five grams of fat and nothing else So I do use a little bit of barbecue sauce so you can kind of estimate these you know anywhere 10 carbs or less barbecue sauce does have some sugar in it, but it is delicious and for some reason I love their barbecue sauce in particular if I am at home out of convenience, you know I do just do the bite meals I'll either do one or two depending on how hungry I am a majority of them vary from maybe 500 To around 700 calories or so which is a full meal for most people But sometimes I'm extra hungry and I'll just eat two or three big meals a day rather than snacking out But if I'm actually gonna cook I'll do some kind of lean meat I might do some type of a steak some type of chicken chicken thigh and normally just some type of veggie I keep kind of my carbs, especially when I'm dieting like right now I like to keep them to more voluminous or more micronutrient So I keep it in my veggies or I eat a lot of fruit so whether it's apples peaches Whatever I have around one out of convenience to it's a good snack three gets you some of those fiber And micronutrient so with my main course dinners just a bunch of veggies broccoli asparagus maybe some kind of peppers Even artichokes things of that nature things that fill up my stomach Maybe in a big salad and then the lean protein to go on the side to keep me satiated big thing while you're dieting is yes You will have cravings. Yes, sometimes you will be hungry But you can based on your food choices You can eat a little bit more food and still get less calories right the calories you get from three slices of bacon Compared to the volume you get from there is a lot different than a full salad with a little bit of chicken or fish on top Another thing I love to eat if I do go eat out and sit down is sushi Sushi something that you can order and it can be very calorie dense if you're getting all these fried rolls with sauces and all these things Or it could be very very Healthy or or less calories and protein dense if you just do some tuna some fish Maybe a little bit of edamame and a little bit of rice something like that And so I love eating sushi I love going to different restaurants and still being able to be social hang out with my friends and eat well So like I said buying things in bulk is a super easy way if you do like to meal prep I personally don't I'm lucky enough with my schedule that I can eat this way and I can kind of go meal by meal But if you have a nine to five or you like to be a little bit more organized a lot of people Buy in bulk cook in bulk and something very simple as chicken thigh It's a little bit fatter than chicken breasts, but often a little bit more flavorful And the macronutrient breakdown still pretty good for about eight ounces of chicken thigh For about eight ounces of chicken thigh you can still get about 50 grams of protein In just about 10 grams of fat then you can add any kind of veggie you want It'll always depend on your body weight your experience how much muscle you have how much cardio and activity you're doing on how many calories You need obviously to lose weight And then you'll have to eat your portion size depending on that and that's why I do suggest everybody tracks their food But for me like I said I've tracked for a long time I can kind of go by feel so I like to eat bigger portions of proteins of 10 12 ounces of chickens not a big deal for me and then the veggies are the same thing Yes, you have to track your veggies if you're dieting all calories do count You'll just be able to eat more veggies And get less calories involved rather than if you're eating Cereal or ice cream or something like that right you'll be able to eat a Craft ton of asparagus to get 500 calories worth of asparagus compared to 500 calories worth of ice cream That's kind of the point and that's why I like to eat veggies one I'm looking up my palate likes a good amount of green veggies But hopefully you can find a couple vegetables couple fruits that you enjoy to mix in there because micronutrients are important as well Again, I am sponsored by bite meals But it is one of the most convenient ways to stay on your nutrition and easily track your food because they all come with higher protein meals One of my favorite that they make is the chicken Alfredo. It's a little bit of pasta a little bit of chicken a good amount of sauce big big portions Even when I'm starving I can only eat two when I'm a normal meal I'll eat one portion and works perfectly the breakdown for that is 14 grams of fat 70 carb and nearly 60 grams of protein so Perfectly balanced on a training day good amount of carbs good amount of protein for most people and it will big enough meal to satiate most of you Overall convenience, you know, it's a couple minutes in the microwave a lot easier than cooking up a meal for lunch and cooking up a meal for dinner And in my opinion it does taste fresher than if I cooked all my meals You know if I just cooked a bunch of chicken on Sunday and then try to re microwave it all week These taste a little bit fresher to me plus the convenience factor because I'm mega lazy So in between emails, I'll throw this in the microwave continue working and just eat and go So normally I'll do a lunch again something like a Chick-fil-A Chipotle a breakfast and a dinner will probably be something like a bite meal Or if I'm feeling extra frisky or I get all my work done early I might cook up a little something just trying to show you guys a couple ways that I like to eat Maybe one day we're trying to move in a new house again I'll get Connor there so we can do some full vlogs and we'll do maybe a full day of eating show You exactly what I eat every single meal with the time time stamp around my workouts But this is normal things for my type of appetite and my lifestyle Hopefully some of that gives you ideas on how you can diet a little bit better same thing goes for a bulk All you got to do is get the calorie surplus or if you're dieting a calorie deficit and for me right now The goal is shreds life the goal is to get a little more aesthetic the goal is to feel good Just slammed a bunch of cardio and I'm feeling good. Although it's a hundred degrees outside Check out bite meals if you guys are interested They have a subscription model meals are about eight dollars a piece when you break it down Which is actually fairly good considering I spent 12 or 15 bucks at Chipotle prayer pretty often link is in the bio trick-fil-a You don't sponsor me, but I love you either way Hopefully you guys have a great week.
