EVERYTHING I COOK FOR MYSELF WHEN I'M TRYING TO BE HEALTHY... | SAM THE COOKING GUY

[@darrenobrien7667]

I really appreciate episodes like this. It'd be great to see more of the regular simple healthy meals mixed in with the weekend / cheat day burgers and steaks.

[@pizzaishappiness7994]

👍

[@bengopoyan85]

Completely agree

[@burritofever]

+1 on this comment. Hard to find healthy + delicious consistently anywhere. More please.

[@elizabethscott354]

Me too.. specially now that I got "the sugar" (lol)... need help Sam!

[@taetrrtot6205]

Just exercise

[@WildcatCustom]

Finally! Something that isn't fat or deep fried! It was very nice to have an episode that I didn't have to pick and choose the contents of the food. I've been watching for years and this was very refreshing! I could literally just take any of the dishes and make them without feeling guilty or worrying. Thanks!

[@hollinkarelja7564]

chile crunch is like any other oil, very high calories about 100-120 tsp

[@teemilly]

According to the nutrition label on the Momofuku bottle. 10cal/tsp.

[@pattyd2206]

Sam: "Don't eat the same thing all the time!" Also Sam: "You're looking at my breakfast about four times a week." Typed with love.

[@cr293737]

FINALLY - recipes I'll actually make! More healthy stuff, please!

[@capncrunchog]

Love it Sam! You should more of this.

[@jakeywakeysgirl]

PLEASE!

[@genejohnson3391]

Some low carb stuff would be great too!

[@j3annie1963]

Sam, it looks as if your fan base if generating a Ton of Enthusiasm for Healthy food. While we love all your food, it really is important to everyone to eat healthy most of the time. And your flavor combinations are really speaking to folks! Getting excitement in the daily healthy food makes making dinner, lunch and breakfast worth while! WTG Sam and crew!

[@magicknight8412]

Got to factor in the calories from the oil too which adds up. These recipes are great, tweak them to how we want or need. great

[@DaniilMatzkuhn]

The amount of oil + chilli oil in the Shiitake recipe is probably already worth 200-250 calories. I bet it's delicious, but not exactly the definition of healthy.

[@falsehoodmerchant]

@@DaniilMatzkuhn Agreed, and Chili Crunch is definitely not "almost nothing" that stuff is like 200+ calories a serving I think.

[@nathanimmel2831]

@@DaniilMatzkuhn Correct on a lot of calories, but also gotta keep in mind theres a difference between healthy and eating at a caloric intake to lose weight/gain

[@Sephaerius]

Fantastic episode. I've always wondered what "healthy" Sam might fix. I'd love to see more like this!

[@ericskooglund926]

I know it’s been said here already but please do more of these quick healthy meals and snacks. I’ve been watching STCG videos for years and still have some of the old ones saved from when he was in his kitchen and doing the podcast because they were much more basic, healthy, and are my go-to weekday meals (plus I always love seeing Sam fumbling around in the kitchen and telling max to get out of the way). I still enjoy the recent content for entertainment and have made some of them but these are the kind I’ll bookmark and come back to.

[@jpdunning]

I've been watching you guys for years! Just love you guys ❤️ This is the first time I've commented on a video, but I felt I had to. I so needed this! I struggle with finding healthy day to day recipes to eat. I'm such a foodie, which is why I love your shows. Please please please do more of these types of video. I love the bathroom scales image on the title. You could totally do a whole series, like you've done with burgers etc. Thank you for putting out the best videos on KZbin ❤️

[@currentlypooping]

Yes!!! More healthy stuff like this please :D I mean, I love the 6lb burgers but I'm not making that everyday. More healthy meals from Sam means more delicious meals for me throughout the week :)

[@judejohnstone1244]

I love that you were explaining the parsley/cilantro bit. I’m like you and believe everything needs a little green. I never run out of fresh parsley, cilantro and green onions. Even though I live near Seattle, I grow an amazing herb garden every year. My rosemary and thyme are evergreen, but my sage and mint are already springing up. I am super excited for my “greens” mentioned above! Thanks for another amazing video! We love you and the boys!❤

[@dylanfromm7656]

I love all the recipes but the first especially is well over 400+ calories considering the amount of oil in it :)

[@johnom4864]

Was thinking the same thing, the amount of oil used kinda eliminated the health component

[@fatboyinthewoods]

This was great! I am trying hard to eat better, but watching you cook can be challenging. You should really do more of this kind of cooking, healthier but great tasting. By the way, 2 TSP of the Chili Crisp is 210 calories so I just use one. Lots of fiber though! Keep up the good work!👍

[@JibbaTheHoot]

We need to see a fridge/pantry tour!! Give us an idea of some staples that you keep around for weekly or monthly use that are just nice to have. That would be a really cool episode. It would also help me at the grocery store hehe

[@nickrotolo]

120 calories in 1 tb of oil. Just as a sight of reference. Most people don't account for the oil in the pans and it adds up quick.

[@tomc9069]

I like that these are SIMPLE, Easy and use what most of us have around the house anyway. Thanks Sam and Max. Please more of these 5 ingredient TASTY meals!😊

[@AlphaFoxAdam]

I think Sam forgot to count the calories from the olive oil and chili oil in his calorie count. Haha. Not that it's a big deal (maybe 120-150 cals, if he used around a tbsp, or just a tad bit more).

[@rirk1111]

Agreed! judging from the oil used for all the meals, it might be pushing close to 300 extra calories from oil a day, E.G: with eggs/mushrooms/sweet potato/sauting onions

[@Equinoxious342]

What do calories from oil matter? 🙄

[@Nanotaku]

My thought as I went along watching was like, "OK you could just wake up and slam a pint of oil."

[@seanapodaca7012]

@@Equinoxious342because calories is really all that matters when it comes to losing fat from your body

[@TechDaddyFr]

He used way more than 1 tbsp on the first dish. There is at least 400 calories just for the oil.

[@scott1191]

I love the healthy recipes! Only issue is be careful with the Oil amount. Those calories add up fast!

[@deionsimms5786]

Awesome video! Would love to see more of this type of content

[@brunorivest]

Great episode. Keep the burgers for sure, but you can certainly dive into this kind of suggestions more often. It could turn out as an interesting challenge. If it works, it's win-win for everyone. I think the audience can take it. You could run some tests and see the result with the views and other metrics.

[@mikekaspar411]

Greetings form Whitewater, Wisconwsin!! I have been watching for a couple months now and I love the channel! You guys make the viewer feel like part of the crew! I was hoping to find a compilation video of Sam's bite buildings and admirations and his reactions to the first bite which is almost always one of my favorite parts of the experience. Maybe one will appear some day!!!.

[@dannyhardesty3692]

Outstanding! "Cauli-Rice" stir-fry with egg whites, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, and oyster sauce is excellent too!

[@savaunbrown]

Chili crunch is very calorie dense. 110 cals for a tbsp

[@neelshiv]

I don't think chili crisp has negligible calories. One table spoon is often over 100 calories. It's mostly oil.

[@jasonfoor4960]

Yes please more healthy meals on this channel! On a side note made your “sausy pasty” for the first time yesterday and the whole family devoured it. That’s saying something cause these teenage kids are the pickiest eaters ever

[@donaldhouf8377]

I’d love to see a lot more of these recipes! So simple but they look delicious!

[@gail1420]

Thanks Sam for some light weight dishes. Have been skipping the videos lately due heavy sounding/looking dishes. But not to worry , I continue to be devoted.😊

[@michaelkramarczykjr8196]

Nice Sam, nice. Awesome to see you break out of that taco, pizza, burger, sandwich merry-go-round. REALLY appreciate this.

[@EricAdamsonMI]

Thanks for sharing! Calories counting is archaic. Just keep your carb intake in line with your exertion level. If you carry a little around midsection, avoid sugar and HFCS. Unless we're out chopping wood all day, we can't burn enough calories to dio into our fat reserves You seem to eat just fine. Just sharing this for subs. Don't avoid fun foods, just cut back when you're carrying a few extra pounds. And remember: fat isn't what makes us fat. High insulin + excess calories makes us fat. And we NEED healthy fats. Fat-free is the worst thing that ever happened to us.

[@wonkawarrior]

❤ this video, type 2 means I need to eat healthy most of the time, thank you for sharing 🙏

[@NM-so8kh]

Sam: things I eat to lose weight. Also Sam: I use 300 cals of olive oil to fry my mushrooms

[@NM-so8kh]

And about 100 cal of chilli crunch hahah

[@scott1191]

That's the only issue I have with the meals Sam prepared.. You have to use cooking spray like PAM or something. Maybe a sliver of a butter (for healthy fat). Otherwise like you indicate the oil calories add up FAST.

[@jamesward1045]

Sam, I'm James a disabled veteran, and I watch your cooking show all the time. The first episode I saw was about the Italian Salad Sandwich. It looked so good on TV, I thought I'd try it and bravo. It's excellent. So, working off of the salad ideal, I've tried a cobb salad sandwich, a Santa Fa salad sandwich, and one of my salad sandwich chooses. Love your show! I was setting here thinking your should try making a Dagwood sandwich with your twist.!? And then a Italian meatloaf hamburger. Made from Italian sausage and grown beef .3 Italian cheeses. Lets of garlic and onion and marinara sauce. Garlic and permasen cheese to top it off.

[@chriswylie2011]

I certainly enjoy your recipes and have tried a few myself. I would love to see you do more KETO(low carb) options.

[@stacyrobinson6378]

Please make more videos like this. We LOVE watching you guys but are also trying to eat healthy. ❤

[@36trooper]

Chili Crunch is not "almost nothing". It's straight oil.

[@Magnolia1971]

I loved seeing the healthier side of your daily meals. I love watching your channel but I never cook the food because, well, I'm a 52 year old woman who would be a lard-A if I did. But these recipes I will make! Thank you!

[@67Zaphod]

Sam: Remember, we're eating healthy **squirts another 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the pan** 😂😂😂 Love it!

[@michaelsweet3256]

I try to make as many of your dishes as I can but have been trying to watch the waistline - this was a great video! I'm excited to make all of them!

[@avaeallan]

Love this video since this is how I eat most often! Though the fun food videos are definitely entertaining

[@vickitodd8647]

Recipes I’ll actually make. Hope for more of these

[@licialawrence5903]

I have to admit I've enjoyed catching up on all your videos and there hasn't been anything I don't really like that I've seen you make. I'm not a fan of seafood or mushrooms but some of the things you've made I'm going to have to try!! Thanks for what you do, I really enjoy your shows.

[@VireoB]

Sam managed to make a healthy food episode that still retains his trademark brown, beige and orange food palette :D

[@mazal-samadi4093]

Awesome. Please do more healthy and quick recipes like these…thanks!

[@Newdogg317]

I'd love another episode like this man!!!

[@DannyMacNair]

Perfect time to do this video Sam, we’re getting into fall and the comfort food will start becoming the norm. These are great ideas for that time of year, THANK YOU!!

[@JesseJosephKnox]

More healthy videos like this! And suggestions for vendors that ship fresh fish for the good people of the fly-over states?

[@raz3780]

I love your channel but I rarely try anything as I’m looking for lighter stuff. Throw one off there’s in the mix more often! This was awesome. Thank you.

[@namenotavailable11]

Hate to break it to you but your breakfast wasn't light at all. The oil alone (about 2-3 tablespoons) was above 500 calories. Everything looks delicious but you tend to cook with a lot of oil.

[@ergogenda3374]

1 tablespoon of olive oil has roughly 119 calories

[@LordShockwave9]

Honestly, this is a lovely video and we all need more healthy foods to make for ourselves and we appreciate you sharing these, Sam. Thank you.

[@bobbbbbb72]

i agree with everyone else! Im loving the tasty but healthy meals, and realistic too, definitely adding the eggdrop and sweet potato to the rotation. more of this please! we love easy healthy meals to add to the rotation. love yall

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

I'd love to see one on the opposite end of the spectrum. I have a medical condition that makes it difficult to put on or keep weight on. It would be wonderful to hear some easy high calorie/protein recipes that are still delicious and fun to cook.

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

And not just add a shit ton of sugar!!! Cancer loves sugar like gas blowers like your neighbor's backyard!

[@zakcook]

This is pretty good in terms of nutrients, just not calories. I caution everyone to be careful with oils and fats if trying to eat low calorie. Oils often get overlooked when accounting for calorie intake and can make up a substantial amount of calories very quickly. One TBSP of olive oil is 120 calories! A lot of these recipes use tons of oil and fats; that is what gives the flavor but also calories! Substitute salmon for white fish, use less oil and you should be good to go.

[@Hunter-qu6hk]

I’ve been making that soup for the last three weeks now, filling yet low calorie, all I did different was add chopped garlic and shrooms. Low calories for an awesome boost of flavor

[@B_Rand_On]

Gonna have to do that sweet potato recipe! Looks easy and delicious AF!

[@j.n.jacksonjr.170]

Sam , You need not worry about us thinking any of these recipes are weird or strange, I’ve been making my version of egg drop soup for years , now , thanks to you I have a go to recipe for it! I make so many of you recipes and meals for friends on weekend get together but try to eat lean and healthy during my work week! Thank you for this episode and keep mixing in the low cal healthy meals with your usual content! Love it!

[@peterkeyser3141]

Amen…!!! Finally something healthy..!! You should do at least ONE healthy dishes every month. Come on… love you guys.

[@tedschmitt178]

I make that same breakfast only with egg whites, and blend in two big handfuls of spinach.

[@AthenaKeatingThomas]

These options are fantastic! I'm curious where you got your salmon, and if it's specially sushi-grade. The dinner sweet potato is something I must try soon!

[@cadwg77]

The Translation of your T-shirt is f-ing hilarious 😂

[@tony2000and10]

You should Make weekday meal videos. I just ate a bunch burgers and now I feel horrible. Need something better in my diet

[@janetroberts2262]

They all look delicious and I’m definitely trying that egg drop soup 😋❤

[@paulmason6860]

Just tried the Chili, mushroom egg dish with green onions. Super delish, thanks Sam!!

[@sunnyday3327]

The breakfast recipe with eggs looks so delicious! I’m definitely trying that and having with toast. 👍

[@Archer21344]

I remember when Sam was so obsessed with the garlic press. Now its nowhere to be seen ever again.

[@dimes5905]

Super positive about these ideas! As a European I must say that green onions and cilantro are not enough vegetables for all these meals (;

[@markoutram001]

I really like this, showing the other side of the balance

[@ejesposito2618]

Loved this video with healthy meal ideas. Would love a new series of healthy meal videos. Thank you for this one! 💕 🙂

[@JD-zm4eh]

Red is yam, blonde is sweet potato where I came from. Great combinations of yummy nutrition Sam.

[@yvonne5322]

Love it all! I have celiac disease, and I can make all of these!

[@ryan49805]

This is totally my kind of healthy eating. Delicious and simple. No VEGAN propaganda!!! 😅 Would also love to see more of videos like this! 👍

[@lisabishop6266]

A sweet potato you can peel w a vegetable peeler, a yam has thicker almost bark like skin that needs a knife to peel.

[@lazysmurf420]

Bug-a-salt cameos are my favorite

And a grind or two of white pepper into the egg drop soup!

[@davidlawson4281]

I really got some good ideas with this presentation. Thanks.

[@jenniferrothchild5519]

What brand of soy sauce? Wasabi Paste? Lime Juice? What brand or kinds.of cookware? Do an episode of what you like to use! Condiments and cookware!! ❤

[@Duncanwg7]

Some nice recipes. That breakfast is more like 600+ calories, just the oil added is 400 odd calories.

[@donaldgibsonjr8799]

I LOVE SAM, MAX, CHANCE, BONG AND LOUIS....I LOVE Y'ALL SO MUCH!!!!

[@danonly55]

Thanks Sam, more of these healthy meals please.

[@chookchack]

If you don’t like that egg texture dropped, use hard boiled egg. Also sautéed ginger can give complexity to that soup.

[@DEAJP10]

The chilli crunch oil you poured on the breakfast is soybean oil. It’s one of the worst toxic refined oils out there. It’s just as bad as canola or sunflower (if not worse). A healthy breakfast, that is not! Use chilli flakes / fresh chopped chilli or chilli paste and coconut oil instead and it will be great and very healthful.

[@maryle1631]

Loved this video!! Please make some more of this series

[@ruthieb7234]

Love your indulgent videos but truthfully I’d make the healthy ones more often. Also the silver pot- LOVE!

I love sweet potatoes I'll have to bake this way more often. Thanks for all of your ideas.

[@JG-yk6ny]

The chili crunch, almost nothing, lol that was like 250 cals right there. This is around a 500 cal omelet which is fine but if you want it healthy cut back the chili oil.

LOL the 3 tablespoons of oil in the eggs are about 300-350 calories. Tasty - yes, low calorie - no.

In case anybody is wondering Sam shirts are good quality! Received mine in the mail and it is everything I hoped for. Now I can only hope to see Gochujang week!

Love seeing some healthy dishes to balance out some of the other ones. I just picked up a smoker, can we get some more episodes using a smoker please. Love you guys.

[@officecooking]

Everything looks AMAZING! I want to make the soup.

[@Snake-filledChimp]

Someone tell Sam that just 1 Tb of chili crisp has 100 calories because it's basically pure oil (not "almost nothing"). The total oil in the eggs+shrooms dish was probably ~250 calories.
