“At 7 weeks out we made some major changes. We dropped the tomato.” Lmao best channel ever

[@gustavmagnusson5379]

Fouad has taken over the flag as the best educational BB on youtube!

[@johnnystarrofficial]

Agreeed

[@bellydanza85]

Thanks for the tip re: fat loss if over 20% bodyfat, bulking if under 20% bodyfat. Fouad’s a boss, I often refer to his content.

[@CMDOG]

I began watching this man's content sometime last year and I can easily say that of all the influencers out there, of all the great former bodybuilders that most people look up to such as Ronnie, Arnold etc that THIS man is my greatest inspiration. The realest person in the bodybuilding AND fitness industry all round.

[@stephencannatella6516]

He’s so right! Dieting is hard and stressful enough as it is. Keeping it simple makes is much easier to manage, period. I’m with Hoss on this! Great video!

[@mattboyd9690]

100%

[@hubertsteptoe3777]

Eating the same stuff makes life so simple&easy. Loved that part!

[@strange_waverly]

Literally one of the best on youtube

[@SanjM-w6n]

Fouad, you have literally changed my life! Thank you, so much. I really enjoy and follow your intelligence. Respects!

[@misterioustheif]

The Only Guy Fouad Abiad I can trust on youtube honest super honest videos the real man real champ. Keep educating your Juniors Fouad really appreciate that

[@jones9309]

Usually diets are overwhelming. Counting calories, what foods to get and preparation. Thank you Fouad for keeping it simple.

[@benfarmer1206]

Great video as always! Big thumbs up from the UK

[@SimplyFitLondonAlbinaSafarova]

I am in UK too. I do like his simplicity of the diet. I talked about it too in my channel.

[@benfarmer1206]

SimplyFit London Albina Safarova Okay cool I will take a look 😊

[@kingstyle1577]

Fuad wins my follow, amazing video nothing new for me but I like to talk about diet, exercises simply like Fuad, nothing fancy. Keep it up man, nice work!

[@mimifu5353]

I really appreciate how clear you are when making these videos. They are really helping me right now, thank you.

[@Seigan200]

As an old school BB and you have no idea how much this info is appreciated.. I used to have to wait for a new magazine to come out with just contest news 3 months after the Olympia was over .. In the 80’s 90’s you never got to see a top pro write his diet out you did it by experimenting and hard to believe there were no personal trainers !! You and your training partner would figure it out on your own . The only thing that was important and respected was how hard You trained .. you would be laughed out of the gym .. I wish I could transport this generation and a lot of pro BB’s back in time and watch what training was like . I’m just a nobody that competed in local Ontario shows . I hope your viewers understand the value of your videos and your podcast .. but this all doesn’t work unless you train your balls off and yes genetics play a part but you’d be surprised if you train till you drop you can get a great physique ... thanks Foud for the amazing content for free ..and training like the way you’re supposed intensity and focus .. hope you kill this Show !! You deserve all the success

[@ALEXANDERz99]

You eat for growth not taste.. chicken/rice is the ultimate basic meal. Thanks for this awesome guide!! I know you probably see my comments on here & your posts on IG.. but I truly truly love your content & I continue to apply every tip, recommendation, & advice you share with us. From the bottom of my heart thank you! & I’m gonna keep moving towards my goal in stepping into the stage within the upcoming year. 🙏🏻

[@oemahkucing7876]

sharing all of this for free.. thank you so much

[@datpspguy]

Listen to this video, I was trying to speed things up and dropped calories too much and metabolic adaptations happened so my body got used to that intake and I was always hungry just to keep leaning out or even maintaining. Slow and steady....then watch his cardio video. Most inspirational and straight forward fitness/bodybuilding influencer out here.

[@stepz809]

Great video and explained very well ✍🏾👊🏾

[@hardtimes4521]

Hi Fouad. I know it has been a year or so on that video, but I loved that one so much, as you have explained a lot in it. What I would like to confirm that you really meant 1.5 x 250 = 3750 not 375 gram of protein. Because that how is that math for work. Lots of respect for you and thank you for all your help. God bless you!

[@SportsInNYC]

Great breakdown, Fouad. Also like how you emphasize that the initial macros aren't set in stone from day one and that the numbers can fluctuate depending on goals, progress, etc.

[@zakbrown6751]

This has really helped me with my own diet, I was struggling to figure out what I needed but this has cleared that up, Great Video💪💪

[@mattboyd9690]

Good stuff forsure

[@davemanuel3925]

If I'm 290 weight P x 1 = 290 C x 2 = 580 F x .35 = 101.5 How much do I multiplied to get my calories couldnt figure it out

[@zakbrown6751]

@@davemanuel3925 protein has 4 calories per gram, carbs have 4 calories per gram, fats have 9 calories per gram, protein 290x4=1160, carbs 580x4=2320, fats 101.5x9=913.5 total = 4393.5

You're doing what many bodybuilders don't. You're taking us on your journey really helps others who don't compete a look into daily life of bodybuilder for the sport

[@silviu4434]

Maybe the best video in months. Very good info here. Ty

[@tapsumbong49]

I'm moving into my own place next week and will have full control over my diet for the first time. This video came out at the perfect time for me! Finally going to get my diet on track.

[@davidjbetz]

This video was 💰💰💰! I've been looking at my diet everyday trying to figure out where I can manipulate and eliminate calories. So much useful information! For people like myself who meal prep but enjoy some variety, I keep a bunch of different seasonings in my pantry. I'll season half my chicken with Cajun spice and the other half with lemon pepper (as an example) and now I have 2 kinds of chicken. I do the same thing with my starches and veggies. A little Mrs. Dash on my broccoli at the last minute goes a long way. Thanks again for all your content, bro!

[@peevansfitness]

Re-Watching this again months later to give myself a foundation to build out this year. These whiteboard videos are underrated. Another is definitely in order!

[@boxerfencer]

Thanks or sharing your method of dieting, Fouad.

[@mattboyd9690]

💯💯

[@pq9254]

Great video. Very helpful. Love that mentality that comes with prep and same food. Turns you into the machine you are becoming!! Thank you

[@JAAAAAACkkkkK]

So good Fouad ! Awesome video, this is explained so easy to understand

[@coltday4000]

Keeping it real! Really cool seeing a pro take the time to show this!

[@mattboyd9690]

💯💯

[@jeffreywilliams9220]

My main staple is is oatmeal , kale, spinach, arugula, watercress, tuna, eggs, fish, chicken, peanut butter, protein and water that’s it . My only snack is oatmeal mix with whey isolate protein and cinnamon and a teaspoon of peanut butter.

[@carter12319]

Fouad never disappoint with me with his content

[@dic4]

Invaluable! Trying not to over think it. Instant like.

[@grapograc]

The practical experience advice is what I really love from you Fouad, your experience is fucking priceless. It really is the little things. (ie. making carbs for the day and just finishing them throughout)

[@natepower2966]

This a great video on what a pro eats! Thanks for sharing Fouad!

[@mattboyd9690]

💯💯

[@johnmuse7866]

Fouad, I just wanted to say thanks for your time in teaching us about dieting. There’s not enough of you guys out there who do this to this degree. I really appreciate your words and time.

[@paulnadonjr9615]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. You’re a great inspiration!! keep up the hard work. 💪👊🏼

[@Warpgatez]

Awesome video man. I hope the people who take notes from this learn one true thing from it. They have to find what works for them. It’s good to start somewhere and just tweak it month by month. All while logging everything and being honest. Food. Weight daily. Water. Supplements. Mood. Bloated or not bloated. Amount of sleep. Amount of exercise. Etc. Log it all.

[@freelancergin]

BOOM!!! If your a bodybuilder and you can't do this you shouldn't be a bodybuilder. This was very informative on how to eat for competition prep. If I knew this 25 years ago I would have competed. Thanks for this video Fouad, I like your no BS approach and keeping it simple.

[@white24valve]

Fouad...thank you very much!! Once again free info for us,so unappreciated folks dont comment and ruin it for others!!! Thank you again! Love the Bloodshot!!

Great stuff Fouad, I love how your able to evaluate how your feeling/looking and then adapt your diet from there. You know what works for you and keep it simple. I think that's the best way to do it, and I can't wait to see how you change as the show gets closer. Thank you for sharing this!

[@frankapps3312]

Thanks for showing your planning and structure to your cutting diet. So clear and simple for a beginner like me 👊🏾

[@GymMeathead]

Really enjoyed this. Would love to see you do weeks 5,3, and 1. And go into your mindset of competing. You always interview others, I’d like to see you take your own questions and apply them to yourself. Really amazing content youve been putting out, you became my number 1 bodybuilding youtuber because I come to watch videos for knowledge and getting into other bodybuilders minds and you have been killing it!

[@lewisb.3242]

Hey Fouad, great video again. Could you make a video showing your routine, what day you cook on, and then the amount of days you prep for. I really struggle with the organisation due to a busy job. I think it would help a lot of us working full time. Let me know if you've already made a video like that and I'll check it out.

[@FouadAbiad]

I have a prep video on the channel.

[@postwarmage2839]

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only 1 who sticks with simplicity . Chicken amd rice gets a lot of heat but it fuckin works and it’s ez af .

[@SofoniasNebiyu]

thanks a lot fouad i dont know if youre reading this but this really helped, keep up the good work

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

Love the simple diet principle. Rice, chicken, tuna, potatoes,eggs,oats...simple to cook,time management, also cheaper. So sick the old "so you only eat like 10 foods"....i'm like...yep, its cheap, healthy, from time to time throw some new stuff(foods)...its cheap...dont have time to spent a hours everyday in the kitchen...teaching sports in middleschool and also doing PT work takes alot of time of my day. Simple is effective. Facts.

[@barrykitchen8200]

I know I already commented but I made it to the end of the video. Just want to say thank you for the tips. I'm sure there's a lot of people like you because obviously I can relate it fluctuates day today sometimes I look in the mirror I'm happy and other days I'm not because I'm full or I'm not. So thank you for those tips man. I really appreciate it and I'm sure others do too

[@michaelbergquist1384]

I really like this guy.

[@mandymiller5677]

This was awesome! I started a mini cut a few weeks ago to clean up the diet. I think the idea of doing a dexascan would be beneficial for me. I have seen results but I like how you break down the deficits and how you progressed throughout the weeks. Thanks for the tip on how to reduce the deficits. I’m not any shows but to lose fat. And I’m glad you mentioned to reduce it slowly if you don’t have a deadline.

[@MB-gf1yc]

Great content as always! For anybody starting out on a diet this is great! My word of advise to people from my own experience is to make sure you set your numbers and give it a few weeks before you mess around with it again so your body has the chance to show changes. I found myself changing things too often and really wasted a lot of time in that sense

[@lukebaker597]

Got to love fouads videos. Breaks things down well and put ms things in perspective. Learning a lot. Thank you

Thank u so much found. On a cut last month and half. My sleep going to shit. Waking up with low blood sugar. Might be throwing in some fat before sleep.

[@MTGBroker]

Great video. One thing people may want to know is calories per gram of macro. 4 calories from i gram of protein and carb. 9 calories from 1 gram of fat. When cruching numbers.

[@flashsteps]

Love the intro and high quality content as always

[@xmeatslingerx1228]

I will say that I used to prep a different meal every meal of the day pretty much, I love to cook and I’m into building low calorie meals with lots of different flavors/ingredients BUT I noticed here lately I have been doing egg whites/oats MULTIPLE times a day and chicken and potatoes/rice MULTIPLE times. Didn’t even realize I was doing this more and more often but I do really like those meals, not because any reason other than how fast I can cook them AND I can prepare them different just like any other meal like oats ( sometimes I put pb & banana , cinnamon & stevia brown sugar , blueberries & sugar free vanilla pudding mix ) even the egg whites ( turkey bacon cut up with salsa , green onion light sour cream & hot sauce , or basic with taco sauce salt pepper lol) . I can still make all my “extravagant” meals when I have the extra time but if I just want to get it in I can still perk up the basic foods if I want

Wow!Great content.I learned a lot.Thank you.

[@edwardfortae2350]

That's a really good point about the ballpark range. I have to eat around 2,000 extra calories the day of and after leg day. If I dont I get hypo and feel like I have the flu afterward. It took me almost 6 months before I figured out what was going on.
