[@jonathanbeardall6386]

its tough to get any beef where I live that leaner than 90/10, so turkey is a better alternative if I'm going hard. But beef is obviously the goat if you can get it.

[@victoriatennyson]

Really really good feedback - thank you! When we move to the hard copy we will definitely take this all into account. In Will’s defense, we didn’t put the fat or carbs because Will has always said that he only believes in tracking calories and protein. As for the fritter photo - we had all of the recipes recreated as is by a chef and food photographer! They swear by the fact that they followed the recipe - although I’m sure they had some tricks up their sleeve to make them even more beautiful 😂

[@PhoenixRising_22]

Can't wait for the hard copy! Will should totally do a reaction video to this. Love the content from you all and so happy to try out Will's recipes.

[@jgoldian47]

Hard copy? can't wait!

[@vin_tin]

Hello Ms. @victoriatennyson. The Inconsistent measurement on Will's cookbook is a bit of a worry when it comes to monitoring calories. If Will doesn't like using metric, using pounds or ounces is much better rather than using cups or teaspoon.

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

Hey Victoria! I do get that as protein is what I have seen is lacking in many peoples diet. I will say though, in a cookbook that is based on lowering calories/having better macros I think it is important to have the full macro breakdown even if it is just placed in a table right before the index in the back. People already have a hard enough time tracking accurately, so I think that would help. Honestly, I think this is the first "anabolic" or macro friendly cookbook that doesn't have the full macros listed. Lmao. I am not even kidding, I would love to learn who the chef was so I can reach out. I have had lots of fun and frolic with air fryers and saw what me and will's final fritter looked like and it is night and day different. The chefs looks like it came straight from a bakery, so if I can learn some tips and tricks for future recipes that would be great. I'll look in the book to see if the chef is there, if not could you DM me?

[@mapleloot]

Just to add to the point about macros: it's at best a guideline. Unless whoever is able to get the exact same ingredients, the calories and macros will always be off which would then be a misleading representation. If people are willing to buy an anabolic cookbook and want accurate calories, it's a matter of checking the labels for their ingredients. Fortunately, raw meat is pretty consistent across the board and is likely the most accurate, whereas buying a brioche bun can wildly vary in macros. I do appreciate approximates in my cookbooks (especially with a protein target), but at the end of the day I track the ingredients I buy. There is a good point about grams, though not everything needs to be. Grams for flour? Absolutely, it can easily add unnecessary calories when it's packed vs relaxed. On the other hand, measuring 1 gram of onion powder likely won't even show up on most food scales, it makes sense to give a volume measurement (i.e tablespoon). It's easy to completely overshoot those small measurements. Last point about this, I much rather a 1/2 apple measurement. Imagine having 10g or 1/16 of too much, even worse is being off by 10g! It's a weird way to split something up, again it's up to the person to measure how much they're using. I parrot back that knowing the type of protein powder is a big one! Baking is a science and the type of protein can make a huge difference. A complete aside, I wonder how air frying those apples and then baking the fritters would turn out just to remove some of that moisture inside and have a better heat distribution for the dough

[@Strongmanswe]

There's a reason that he doesn't show carbs or fat, he doesn't care about it. And i like that he's sticking to what he is teaching in his videos.

[@slowmotion_editor]

Just noticed you hit 100k subs.. congrats man. There's legit no anabolic chef that has content as high quality as yours. Super entertaining, high standards, and overall just awesome!!

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

Thank you!

[@ryanred5724]

This is the first video I watch from you and as someone who grew up watching cooking channels (regular cooking, not fitness related) on youtube, I am pleasently surprised at how much cooking knowledge you have and share. How to properly cup flour, using metric, substituting for better options and explaining why, leveling your chicken so it cooks properly, a THERMOMETER🤯... Usually other fitness cooking channels will share their recipe and that's it which is fine, but you give tools to actually learn how to cook any recipes which is great !👏👏

[@1Regards]

I had the exact same experience with the Fritter when I tried to make it when he originally made the video. The rest looked great though. I love that you express some of the same frustrations I have when I get low-cal cook books, like when they don't listen items in grams.

[@roman5348]

​@noahtheg451 you obviously don't know Will. You're missing out. His sense of humor is hilarious and it never comes off immature. I think someone like you would have to see it to believe me though.

[@ThirteenCross]

I was watching this because I’m all caught up on episodes of One Piece and needed something else on my mind then I got to 17:30 in the video 😂

[@jgoldian47]

regardless of how the cookbook or the recipe in the cookbook are, i bought Wills book anyway and i would again i have mad respect for will and his mom lol. From skimming over the book it doesn't seem that bad its basically most of his recipes he's already had on his channel plus some new ones I would say YOU put more complexity into your recipes to make sure they are 110% right, compared to Wills but it isn't a face off so it doesn't really matter who's is better lol. Im glad to be a fan of both~!

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

Definitely agree. It is more for support as all his recipes and directions are on each video. I just wish a few more things were added or changed to make it more user friendly is all.

[@IAmAsiaLove]

The faint handsome Squidward in the pans grease really killed me 💀😭😂😂

[@HerrMeier007]

From the moment Will announced his cookbook, I knew that the recipes would be slapping. I feel like not a lot of people love food as much as Will does, so I can't wait to try all the recipes and adapt probably like half of them into my repertoire!

[@brandonim4471]

Take a shot every time this guy mentions his own cookbook…

[@YakFactory]

Will does address the exact measurements in the prologue before the recipes when he says he believes “cooking is an art, not a science”

[@danielbrown001]

While that’s a fair quote, I think that applies more when you’re making something yourself that’s inspired by a recipe. When you’re following a recipe from a COOKBOOK, I think having exact measurements (so everyone knows what the original recipe is) is important.

[@Unibot47]

@@danielbrown001 Agreed. Plus, I think the majority of people wanting to cook healthier and manage weight are going to find calories/macros pertinent and important.

[@HeyQuinton]

I love you guys but 110 USD and 50 USD for cook book ebooks seems pretty high...Want to support but those are just insane prices.

[@Beardedmoses1014]

Is this considered a long video, you haven’t lived until you sit through a 2 hour video.

[@CosmicDuskWolf]

The correct way to measure flour is to use a sifter. That way it doesn't matter what unit of measurement you use. The best way to add water to pasta sauce is to put the water in the can or jar then into the pot or pan. This way you get all the sauce or tomatoes out of the can or jar.

[@MayBlaze0]

If you are interested in making a low carb high protein chicken sandwich, look into cooking with unflavored whey protein isolate instead of flour. It fries up rather nicely, almost 0 carbs, and tastes great, just have to fry it at a lower temp. I havent tried it in an air fryer yet, ive only used oil. Thats my personal favorite way to make fried chicken at home.

[@cooljool1]

awesome. thank you for the tip. was trying to find a subs for the flour. there's another video that adds in oat fibre and some parmesan powder as well apparently

[@mdanam]

3:53 caption Not a time lapse this is how fast you get on Gorilla Mind 😂😂😂

[@sluggergod]

[@Skyrim279]

5:07 try one with just a grilled chicken breast, but toasting the bun a bit more to a point where the bottom layer becomes crunchy, gives me the same feeling as a real breaded fried chicken sandwich. Add in a sriracha mayo with some pickles and its insane

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

I just got a new air fryer and decided to actually read the instructions. Apparently you're not supposed to use aerosol cooking spray in them which i did 9/10 times. It ruins the coating which is either Teflon or ceramic. ....I got a new air fryer because the coating on my last one was peeling in less then a year.

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

Weird. It makes sense. I always have though and my last one lasted 5+ years. I use the dawn powerwash and everything comes off in 1 or 2 sprays even with the really gunked on stuff. Good to know for the future though!!

[@aaronhughson285]

Definitely a lot of great feedback. And definitively you have the best recipe development process in the Anabolic Kitchen. For the lasagna I would have cooked the aromatics first starting with the mushrooms to get the moisture out and brown for flavor, added the spices to that and then added the meat to cook until browned. That same recipe can be adapted into a shepherd’s pie as well.

[@Ty-nf5gd]

[@katiethecookinglady]

ohhh, I have been on the fence about buying your cookbook b/c it's a pretty steep investment. I like that you have youtube attachments added. That may be the clincher for me to pull the trigger.

[@jeneille2u]

I’m not sure if it’s just me but most food scales come on different units of measurements. That’s probably why he has it in different units, because he goes back and forth based on what unit he is using on the scale.

[@libertybelllocks7476]

most scales have various amount of different units of measure. The fk are you talkin about? Gram, ML, oz, etc are all found on modern scales. Have you even used a scale in the last decade?

[@d_manoil1647]

Always great vids

[@DrEvoX117]

The desert part had me rolling 💀

[@andre9095]

Wether or not it’s standard, we need to be treating good fiber as a top level macro. A pile of veggies is doing more than the equivalent fat/carb/protein composite sludge.

[@leonorabrebner]

Hey! I shot the recipe photos in Will's cookbook and can confirm that the apple fritters were 100% that exact recipe! There's just a way to make them look better when adding them to the air fryer :)

[@leonorabrebner]

Although chuffed you thought they were from a bakery 😂

[@williammclean6594]

I think he uses turkey because here in Canada you can't get really low fat ground beef. The lowest fat that you can get is like 10% and that's extra lean which is 170 calories per 100 g. You just can't find anything lower than that over here

[@12thMandalorian]

“Calories: 400 probably”

[@victoriatennyson]

The calories are all accurate! We didn’t want to require specific brands (such as longos turkey sausages) so we just put the calories of the items Will used in the video that is linked in the book. Fair on the grams though, we are new to this and will take that going into the hard copy.

[@christopher5855]

I really don’t like the idea of 1 pot lasagna just because of the pasta shape. I’d much rather do 1 pot spaghetti or macaroni( shells, elbows, bow ties, or penne) because it can be done in a standard pan more easily than the lasagna. However converting this to a slow cooker pasta and not broiling it at the end would be a viable option. Also using a torch to melt and brûlée the cheese instead of broiling could work.

[@damiannielsen61]

How do you calculate macros for the flour/breading

[@stewart950]

Calculate the amount of each ingredient you use for the breading by weighing how much both bowls are before and after use, adding the macros together for each ingredient, and dividing by the pieces of chicken you make to get a pretty good average of how much each one is

[@aaronhughson285]

@Will Tennyson why haven’t you reviewed this cookbook?

For the warming problem: before you start cooking, put a plate in the oven at 170F and add ingredients to that plate while you cook. It’s a poor man’s restaurant food warmer.
