APRIL SHRED PREP WEEK 2! What I Eat In A Day + Meal Prep for Fat Loss!

[@im_LaurenHays]

Hope y’all liked this video!! I am having so much fun documenting the April shred and have several more videos before the month ends!!💖🤗 Also- I did delete a comment with fake science about how egg whites have no benefits- I’d be glad to pull my dietitian here to the comments if you have questions, I just don’t want anyone finding false info in my comment section and thinking it’s true! The social media scientists really be trying me 🤪

People don't realize how much it takes to get these videos up... That's why I've never completed one - LOL! At any rate, very much appreciated... I have 20 pounds to lose and this video has motivated me to do some meal prepping today! Thank you!

[@im_LaurenHays]

Thank you so much girl!! It really does take a lot of time to get a video filmed, edited and uploaded but it is so much fun!

[@raisinglittleplants1785]

Such good tips with measuring portions! I struggled with what to do with pastas or large meal prep portions, so thank you!

[@im_LaurenHays]

I struggle sometimes too! Having to weigh everything can get so annoying but it’s only for meal Prep day so worth it 💃🏻💃🏻

[@TraceyKorol]

Oh I feel this in the car talk!! When there is so many people at the gym I hate it...especially when there is so many at a time when I'm just not expecting peeps to be there and not wanting to be there anyways😭😖

[@im_LaurenHays]

Literally it throws the mood off!!

[@sophiamariedee]

I’m definitely making that pastaaaaa 😍😍😍😍

[@im_LaurenHays]

Girl its fireeeeeee

[@thebalancedbiteregina]

Love Maintenance Phase! If you haven’t listened to the You’re Wrong About podcast, it’s a must. Same host Michael Hobbes.

[@juliejones3512]

What fitness tracker do you use? I'm sure you've said it before, so I apologize for asking. Love your videos!

[@im_LaurenHays]

I use the Lose it App to track calories!!💕

[@juliejones3512]

@@im_LaurenHays Sweet! And which one do you wear?

[@im_LaurenHays]

@@juliejones3512 oh sorry! I wasn’t sure which tracker you meant so I guessed😂 this is what I use to track my steps: amzn.to/3khETsH

[@lafsolot0962]

Thank you! Can I ask why you drink protien coffee if you eat breakfast?...Does it just keep you from snacking?...or??...

[@im_LaurenHays]

It helps me reach my protein goal! Sometimes I eat breakfast and sometimes I dont, either way im always having my protein coffee! It tastes great and I love having it to sip throughout the morning at my desk

[@marissam8090]

How are the turkey meatballs? I hesitate to buy them because I’m not a huge fan of turkey sausage. Are they similar?

[@im_LaurenHays]

They arent like turkey sausage in my opinion, just like a meatball lol.

[@ddubbs9629]

Maintenance phase is THE BEST podcast!!!!

[@im_LaurenHays]

Love it so much!!

[@amyjones6811]

[@im_LaurenHays]

Walmart!!

[@RoseNylund87]

Those 5 am gym feelings. We’re all with you! Another great video per usual ❤️

[@im_LaurenHays]

[@megiikrt9795]

What time do you go to bed when you are working out at 5am !!!! I’m trying to hard to find my balance !! Getttt it girl 🔥🔥

[@im_LaurenHays]

Between 9 and 10pm!!

[@tina2.07]

What do you do for a living

[@im_LaurenHays]

I work for a construction office, I'm like the office manager I guess you'd say!

[@leannmccullough224]

Thank you so much for explaining how to get you portion size for multiple days. Love your meal preps!

[@im_LaurenHays]

Yay so happy that was helpful! Its kind of hard to explain lol!!

[@adrienneRDPurWeightloss]

Hey Louise! Great video! Love your recipe on scrambled eggs. What other ways do you like to use hash brown?

[@im_LaurenHays]

Thank you!! We just used them in breakfast tacos, I have also used them in a cheesy potato and sausage crock pot meal once, so good! Let me know if you have any ideas!

[@catrinmaske138]

loved the meal prep! greetings from Germany. You help me so much to stay in my calorie defizit but still make tasty food :)

[@im_LaurenHays]

Aw yay I love that!!! Lots of love from Texas!!

[@kellyhardin7938]

We have tried the True Lemon lemonade, but recently we found Crystal Light Pure and like it more. Tastes somewhat close to the original Crystal Light.

[@im_LaurenHays]

Interesting, I will have to look up the ingredients!! Sounds yummy!

[@thetrinaeffect2940]

great video….thanks for sharing. where did you get your meal prep containers for the pasta?

[@im_LaurenHays]

Thank you! They are from Amazon, here is the link: amzn.to/3K8obGp

[@hopehall-sanchez1913]

I am with you on the 5am gym thing. I am not a morning person.

[@im_LaurenHays]

It can be so so hard!!!

[@catherinedevinewhittle8145]

I just found you and am watching my first video. Love your content and your energy!! Can you tell me what your protein coffee is?? It looked sooooo good. :)

[@im_LaurenHays]

Yay thank you Catherine!! I use a scoop of protein powder mixed with 310 grams of unsweetened almond milk then pour over ice and add a double espresso from my Nespresso machine! Right now I'm loving the gainful protein (its unflavored) with their cinnamon toast flavor boost, I have been working with them and love their ingredients! I am trying to experiment with new proteins too so I will update y'all when I find a new one! Heres a video where I talk more about my coffee: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6qtd2NuZtuhi8U

[@lorrietarsa1656]

I love your videos because you keep it real! Thank you for also sharing what you eat.

[@im_LaurenHays]

Thank you so much Lorrie!! That is so important to me!

[@melann7380]

I keep trying to buy those Tyson Buffalo chicken strips, but my store is always out. I really want to try them. I just bought the plain ones and then some Buffalo sauce, so I guess I will diy them

[@charmayneashley1107]

Honestly I prefer them better homemade than the Tyson buffalo tenders. I make a big batch and freeze them! But I love their blackened.

[@im_LaurenHays]

They can be so hard to find! I can only find the buffalo lately, no other flavors!

[@machellaray6853]

Thank you so much for sharing your gym journey and recipes. I’ve had a hard time finding the motivation to be healthy, and your videos help so much!

[@im_LaurenHays]

Yay I love to hear that!! I am definitely not always motivated but I try my best to stay disciplined!

[@leannehanlon3623]

Great meal prep ideas!!

[@im_LaurenHays]

Thank you so much!!

[@karaberrie8305]

I love me some coke o! Such a bad habit to break! I love how real you are in all your videos! Very relatable!

[@im_LaurenHays]

Its seriously so good and some days im like hey, if thats how I go out then so be it lol!

[@lynnykhoury]

Curious if Morgan is weighing his food as well? Or do y’all just wing his? I’m confident my husband has no idea just how many calories he’s eating & also no interest in knowing 😆

[@im_LaurenHays]

No Morgan doesnt weigh anything! He has a very active job so he pretty much loses weight without trying, lol!

[@lynnykhoury]

@@im_LaurenHays Not fair 😆

[@lindsaymccool]

I totally get you on the too many people at the gym thing, especially so early!! Why no work gym this week?

[@im_LaurenHays]

Right, too many people throws off my flow lol! I decided not to upload the footage where I talked about it but basically some creep was trying to go at the same time as me so we could workout together.... big no from me!

[@traceydufault297]

I do my incline at 8.0 and 3.5 pace what's your pace set at

[@im_LaurenHays]

I do usually 3 or 3.2!

[@amomentwithmileva]

Amazing. Thank you for sharing these easy recipes i Love them!

[@im_LaurenHays]

Thank you so much Mileva!

[@robino941]

Your pasta with the sundried tomato pesto looks delicious. Great job on your workouts and healthy meals!

[@im_LaurenHays]

It was literally so good!! Definitely making it again soon!

[@roses609]

You have great ideals

[@im_LaurenHays]

Thank you!!

[@catmama54]

I need to make the ground beef with that Mongolian sauce as that sounds really good and even better easy lol

[@im_LaurenHays]

Its one of Morgans favorites for sure!!!

[@trust.the.process3023]

Loved the video girl I'll definitely be making some of these recipes..

[@im_LaurenHays]

It was a delicious week!! I hope you try it!

[@mollykidd9736]

These were some really awesome meal ideas, I’ve been needing inspo. The sun dried tomato pasta looked amazing, and I’ll put Buffalo sauce on anything lol.

[@im_LaurenHays]

Girl the pasta was SO good!! Definitely going to make it again soon!
