[@yanirdasa5276]

Love you Chris you’re the man! I started my training about 6 months ago with your videos, i lost 12KG so far and making gains. Just wanted to let you know i appreciate you a lot my friend!

[@gkarthik9037]

Thank you Chris.U have inspired me to start my fitness journey.Because of you, i lost almost 15-20 kg and also got my first pullups this year. Thank you so much chris

[@that_chera]

Steak, rice and onions have been my staple for the last year. Most times I swap the asparagus with carrots though. Glad to see this 1 in your video Chris! 🔥

[@PULAG]

Rich as hell dang lol. Eating steak everyday?

[@sxerralzve2739]

As someone who's been on a bit of a health journey, I've started myself off slow. I find that fast food isn't nearly as appetizing as homecooked meals are! My biggest problems to tackle now are water intake, protein intake, and portion control. I grew up with a bad relationship with food, I never ate. As I moved out and grew older, I only knew how to cook struggle meals in large portions, and never took the time to eat slow and feel myself get full, and I ate when I wanted without having fear. I began eating too much all the time, and gained weight. Which was good! But now I am bigger than I am comfortable with, and am now working out and working towards healthier habits with eating, before jumping myself too far ahead. I am currently learning how to cook, and still getting used to calorie intakes and macros, etc. These meals in this video are incredible for breaking this stuff down for someone like me!

[@Julia20508]

I love that he’s put together recipes for people who have a tight budget and still want to get ripped. 🙌🏽

[@jadacazoe8245]

Thanks Chris I do appreciate your healthy version on how to make spaghetti and meat balls. It's an eye opener for me. Great work with this new concept and keep sending out more nutritional videos for us to learn from.

[@phuckhackers7631]

Always useful brother. Appreciate all the work that goes into these. Yall have a great day!

[@zack0333]

you to

[@tobysimmondsX]

Yes, have a lovely day! ❤

[@Real-Moo-2024]

Definitely gonna do this. Thank you so much for me being fit. I've been sick recently. Then I was out of shape. And your workouts made me fit!

[@lukejs3182]

Inspirational man. Never wanna hear "I can't afford to eat healthy" again.

[@JamieOz-ih7jb]

What if you can’t afford to spend $20 bucks in the grocery store. You still have to eat.

[@lukejs3182]

@@JamieOz-ih7jb Surely anyone could work that out. These meals could last a long time.

[@JUSTRIGHT4U2]

This whole system he’s using is Great!!!! I really wish he could have expanded on the leftovers that you would have from this (even more value!!) LOVE IT!!!

[@Mekakinny]

You need to make a channel dedicated to meals, cooking, macros, nutrition

[@Eduardo_Badal]

by far one of the few that makes SOMEONE ELSE try out their just-cooked meals. 👍

[@harper3633]

Thank you Chris great recipes! You make some great combos and love the breakdowns of cost and sound nutrition ❤

[@SlickMaximus]

First time I started one arm pushups, one leg squats, and one arm chin up was after applying most concepts in book "Pro Vita Plan" by Jack Tips. Book said protein in beans increases by 4 times when sprouted until 10% have 1/4 inch nub sticking out then cooking at 190 degrees F. I place meat thermometer rod inside pot next to pot edge with dial on top of lid. Sprouted beans also are easier to digest which increases protein absorbed into bloodstream. If this is true, then protein in one cup cooked beans increases from 16 to 64 grams protein. Chris Heria could include the cost per gram of protein in meals. Net protein utilization (NPU%) is percentage protein body can use due to shortage in one more amino acids. NPU% x protein in meal = grams protein body able to use. Plant protein can have low 60% NPU where animal protein usually 80% or higher. Pro Vita Plan book categorizes foods into easy, medium, or hard to digest protein. The body absorbs less protein from hard to digest food, especially an older body.

[@Qkotoime]

Love the video. In fact, I'd prefer you do more cooking, but that's just me. One thing that I'm not sure if you or your editor kind of doesn't know how it's calculated - 0.1 = 10 cents. 0.01 is 1 cent. Honestly that's the worst thing I could mention in this vid :D everything else is right up my alley

[@ceofounder]

Chris Heria representing Health and Wellness to the fullest!

[@crunknavajo]

I was waiting for a video like this.. I'm on a budget and trying the workouts but want to know what to eat to keep healthy and fit on a budget. Thanks for keeping the motivation going

[@Cristian-jg7rk]

Yes I definitely also cut out a lot of fast food consumption as well. Eating at home is way more cost effective and healthier overall.

[@tsotnekurashvili2396]

Somebody tell him that $0.1 isn’t 1 cent but 10. Other than that I love your content, Chris! Thanks a lot! I was able to achieve my workout goals with your help 💪🏼

[@BBee13]

Lol I was thinking the same thing

[@isaiahcorbin7085]

I’m glad resubscribe to your channel brother I’ve been dealing with some mental and fatherhood adjustments. I’m glad to be back and see your always trying to get the community to improve. Thank you so much man for the information.

[@tobysimmondsX]

Thank you so much! These look so delicious and the price is so good!! I will definitely try making these as I’ve been looking for different healthy delicious meals:) thank you so much for all your videos, you never cease to inspire me to become more and more athletic and healthy! ❤

Amazing meals! I'm definitely going to be making & tasting some of these dishes! Thanks a lot, Chris!

[@isaiahweiland]

i know your prolly not gonna read this but it would help to add the total cost of all of the groceries and how many portions it could make aswell as the meal cost

Thank you, Chris. I really needed this!

[@nigelscott331]

Hey Chris I’ve lost almost 10kgs with the help of your cooking vids thanks heaps 🙏🏾

[@gabriellejosef-marie2980]

I tried all the recipes! Delicious! Not too fond of the vegan burger.. not my thing. It didn’t taste bad. I’m just not used to it.

[@Andre-oc7gg]

Also, health tip... if you cook in cast iron you actually get added iron to your diet. Look it up! Non stick is pretty bad for you. Cast Iron lasts forever, if you season the pan frequently it becomes non-stick and you get iron in your diet, but avoid cooking acidic foods like tomato etc in it

[@arihaviv8510]

I'd go with stainless steel...you really want to get iron from food

[@1ZZFE]

Yeap stainless steel is the best.

[@PULAG]

If that's true, wouldn't your iron pan disappear over time from losing so much iron? Lol

[@cvspvr]

doesn't seasoning the pan insulate the iron with polymerised cooking oils, meaning you'd stop getting iron?

[@MinoxJoen]

Awesome man thanks for getting deeper on pricing and ingredients

[@saweqasaq1641]

Chris heria, make a video about levels of calisthenics and when I start training skills

[@NoirMorter]

For the vegan one you can easily sub a diy meat patty like I did, but I also enjoyed the vegan as a change of pace.

[@MbisonBalrog]

Seasoning the pan? You must using low low heat. Those seasonings usually burn easy and must people put on after cooking.

[@THEBEAST-hk8yo]

Great video, needed this 🔥💪🏽

[@muhammadjibranali7730]

Need a video about recovery, hydration, cellular dehydration

[@beckyalexander3888]

Hi Chris this video was nice. Hello to Stefan. 👋🏾

[@misskitty2187]

That's all great for guys ..... but for girls adding some drops of lemon or eating 1/2 a kiwi with red meat helps iron absorb better ..Also you can grate 1/2 zuchini and 1/2 carrot in your meatballs to make them fluffier for zero calories ..I know some hate dairy but calcium is really important for women so some cottage cheese or some greek yoghurt would not cost that much... Thanks anyway

[@Nadeem2002]

Chris, amazing you are chef cuisinier. I am glad I came across your channel, keep up the good work.

[@TheSynisterMinister]

love this video however Time is Money, I work 6 days a week and average 20 hours of overtime to pay bills on the west coast. however I could technically get a roommate to work less. but lets say My home life time is worth 20 an hour to me. then those meals cost a little more. but going to resturants costs time as well but its enjoyable. I was shocked at how quick some of these recipes are though! I just wish I had a dishwasher!!

[@karenacornett]

thank you so much for this! i struggle so much to eat because of costs

[@nightlady2001]

Looks delicious. Glad to see how to make meals for 1. I'll make more tho for fam and meal prep for me.

[@nopeflare8461]

I like every meal and im definitely gonna try it. ps your videos are amazing and inspiring because i got into calisthenics because of you and i’ve just learned the muscle up and that couldn’t work without your videos about how to and best meals and drinks. because of you i stopped eating junkfood and i am full focust on eating healthy and focusing on my calories I appreciate you and keep going you’re awesome All the way from holland

[@ericdavidwallace]

This was so helpful thank you Chris.

[@Nevermor3music]

I just went to town on the Chicken, Sweet Potatoes, and Sauteed Spinach recipe.

[@dr.kurtjohnson1791]

I find a lot of the vegan burgers have great macros. Lots of protein. Pro tip mix vegan ground with brown lentils! GREAT VIDEO

[@FutureFendiFsnista]

Bless you for this! I have been searching for a healthy budget meal prep for months and this one is the best I have seen. I love that you show how much it costs to buy each meal. It helps me plan which meals I can afford to make without compromising on nutrition. Thank you so much!

[@gabriellejosef-marie2980]

I tried them all. Plus it’s even cheaper when you buy the regular rice and if you buy the chicken breast at bj or Costco.

[@Quved]

For me living in Venezuela this is a perfect video.

[@timothy_gibbs]

Hey Chris, do you make a meal plan like this? If so, could you send me a link? Thanks.

[@ShibaMT2602]

Mouth watering delicious food❤, even budget friendly, Why to fear, Chris is here❤

[@davey4142]

You should make a 5 quick but healthy meals for those of us who want to eat healthy but don't have a ton of extra time

[@jesusalaniz4608]

Chris love the meal content, you should do a video on how to eat healthy at chick-fila!

[@rijonnn]

Love your videos and channel. Keep it up fam

[@Blaky-eq4kh]

As always brother, a great inspiration. We appreciate the time you dedicate to us.

[@davidgeorgiev_]

I just love these type of videos about nutrition 💪🏽❤️‍🔥

[@betterthanyesterday3912]

I ate a root beer float today at 1pm. So mad at myself. Glad to see this video

[@teeed7927]

Great video but it begs the question why there isn't a single fast food chain with these healthier options given the grocery stores can afford to freshly stock these at affordable prices. Personally I wouldn't mind even paying a premium for convenient quality food

[@JoyfulLivingLinda]

I really love the comparisons you are making, they are really bringing home your point! 💪

[@IronLionZion429]

Since Badia doesn't say which "spices and herbs" are in complete seasoning, it's most likely cumin coriander, oregano, and parsley. I love it and use it on everything because of Chris Heria's videos.

[@SPIKE0-0-0]

Oh man Chris, you’ve made me hungry 10 times over, and it was those steak slices and asparagus that did it for me….and the one with the rice….

[@Silverqueen68]

I didn’t know about protein pasta I’m gonna def switch to that

[@hera_avria9265]

I love the meals you prepared. They look so delicious but healthy! But it is a little bit misleading.. which groceries/supermarket actually sell ONE piece of patty or sandwich buns? Most meat and bread are sold in packs or loaves.

[@PasqualeForgione-u5m]

Such an amazing list of healthy meals. I'm not a fan of broccoli. I wonder if I could use cauliflower instead.

[@ninjabagel01]

"go ahead and add whatever seasoning you like" *proceeds to dump in more garlic on every dish... A man after my own heart

[@haterz19971]

Always love these videos bro!!! I love having variety in my meals sometimes haha

[@lukejs3182]

Eat healthy, workout, have good hygine, stay positive and you'll rise above your past self like a rocket!

[@abn2684]

Do we weigh meats cooked or uncooked?

[@zuvlet]

hell nah you lost me at vegan burger

[@Jim222001]

Lucky, I can’t find the Liquid Amino that tastes like Soy Sauce anymore. Just the coconut one that tastes nothing like it. Though yeah I can get it on Amazon but they don’t always care if it is passed the expiration date.

[@godseng]

Hi Chris, how often do you have your cheat day meals? For my case, I do it once every month.

[@DJCurry25]

i really appreciate this video. thank you!

[@trashmas]

thank you so much for adding a vegan option! I'm currently trying out eating vegan/plant based while still trying to gain bigger muscles, it's new for me but I really enjoy it so far and it felt great to see some encouragement from the ultimate pro who always gives the best workouts, advice and tips!

[@rogeliogarcia9970]

Thank you Heria and crew for keeping us healthy!

[@WORPIONS]

Thanks great video , finally I found someone who shows everything. 👏👏👏

[@BrayWs]

We live in a lazy generation so I’d be surprised if people actually try and cook these 😂😂

[@koolchik1314]

I did cook them.. my steak was dry but good otherwise. 😂

[@itskenlang]

One thing I suggest is to invest in a rice cooker. I go to the local Asian market to buy 35 lb bag of jasmine rice that costs around $27. Up front more expensive but It does last longer, the rice is higher quality than minute rice, the rice cooker saves you a lot of time because you can cook more rice in less time, with no need to baby sit the pot on the stove. You just pour the rice in, add water, set it and forget it, easy.

[@shipshapshiba]

Bro thank you for this video. Ive been looking to start cooking more and ordering less. I see its possible and cheaper 😅

[@Lindarianmusic]

Hello, Chris: Thank you for sharing your tips on healthy weight loss. As a woman who is currently 237 pounds, down from 290 pounds eight months ago and looking to end up at my right weight of 145 pounds. Including training to develop a female Samurai's strength, including a toned lean muscle mass and endurance, which will help me to significantly excel in my Samurai arts training. Currently, I'm working out at my local gym four times per week, including completing two light workouts at home on my off days from the gym. I have developed a very healthy diet, such as the one in your video. My favorite would be the rice with Chicken and broccoli this is a great meal and I tend to consume a lot of it. I tend to consume Chickpea pasta and red lentil pasta which is a great source of protein and it is gluten free, which fits my dietary needs -All my best always

[@mistershuriken7744]

16:06 Chris, may I ask how you did the math here? I researched all the nutritional numbers for every one of your ingredients on the meatball spaghetti broccoli, and I ended up with 726 cal, 61g protein, 49g carbs and 32.3g fat for the indicated portions. The deviation is really hefty, 30% more calories and 61.5% more fat (6 oz lean ground beef seems to have 20g fat as per nutritionix), it doesn‘t look like a rounding error to me. Can you comment please?

[@JamesP44]

So I've been making the meals from this video along with your breakfast vids and love them so far. Delicious and healthy, can't go wrong! I'm a little late to the party with this channel but I'm feeling motivated to be better for myself since last week and been eating a lot healthier and exercising more thanks to these videos. Yeah been turning over a new leaf lately since over a week ago when I started watching this channel properly. Keep doing what you're doing. Subscribed!

[@metoyerfamily2232]

Are you shopping @ Erewhon or Food 4 Less? 🤣

[@andreabellini6796]

Thank you for showing vegan options! Greatly appreciated

[@Saigemeister]

minute rice… smdh… I get why you did it for the vid, but everyone should go out and buy a $10 rice cooker. It will pay dividends.

[@lotusfrucht111]

Healthy chicken is super expensive where I live. You can only get the mass farmed ones that are fed with antibiotics for cheap here.

[@jonathanlomax1464]

Appreciate this man as a truck driver this is the key for driving long hours

[@AndrewSmith-qg6ii]

Meals for under $5, while shopping at Publix no less, is impressive
