Meal Prep In Under An Hour | Transformed

[@ChrisGoesOutdoors]

3:24 Would not recommend putting eggs back into the container they came in after boiling them. I know first hand health inspectors frown on this and in most cases will not allow it. Possible cross contamination (salmonella). Just throwing it out there. Your experience may vary. **13 years food service industry**

[@missrowanoak]

+ChrisGoesOutdoors I think that's solid advice. Yes, you will peel the egg but why chance getting whatever is in the container on the shell, then your hand, then the egg. I'm not sure about this guy as a "chef" for that reason alone!

[@TheBrooklynHustle]

+Tonya Parham That was actually her tip, not the chefs...

[@anthonysgroia2966]

+ChrisGoesOutdoors Literally logged in just for this. Worried about cross-contamination on the cutting board, yet cooking food in same sheet pan...?

[@missrowanoak]

It may very well BE her tip, but he acted as if it were a really GOOD tip and not one that would lead to salmonella contamination which he should have pointed out.

[@1984kron]

+Anthony Sgroia cross-contamination dosent really matter when the food is cooked. Its cross-contamination from raw meat to food that is not to be cooked you need to be worried about. Like from chicken to salad.

[@MrCharlesBiddle]

Great Video, possibly the best Meal prep video I have seen on KZbin. Would love to see more videos with these two!

[@thebritfix]

Why so many negative comments...?? I Loved this video! I found this to be so helpful, entertaining, and overall a good solid video. The 2 of them work well together. Not to mention they put a lot of work into this. Misery loves company for all the haters. Even if i'm solo on this, i appreciate it and i'm subbing.

[@markrampersad7025]

[@devilswisper909]

+Mark Rampersad HAHAHAHAHAH BEST REPLY EVER !

[@KeithBossier]

+TheBritFix I was thinking the same thing, this was a very helpful video

[@rajabcdef4733]

TheBritFix I have the same opinion as yours too..lots of negative people.

[@dmm3124]

It was the Polish joke that did him in.

[@chickennuggets9410]

U GUYS R WONDERFUL!!!! IVE BEEN LOOKING TO LEARN HOW TO MEAL PREP FOR SO LONG AND NO ONE IS SO PRECISE LIKE U DO IT. LUV THE CONVENIENCE IN HOW U PREPARED ALL THESE DELICIOUS HEALTHY MEALS IN AN HOUR. IM A MOM OF FIVE AND FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO COOK TWO MEALS EVERYNIGHT FOR DINNER. IM TRYING SO HARD TO HAVE ALL MY FAMILY JUMP ON THIS WAGON WHICH HAS BEEN VERY CHALLENGING. BEING THAT I NEVER LIVED A HEALTHY LIFE AND NEVER REALLY SHOWED MY KIDS TO SO I FEEL SO BAD ABOUT ALL THE GOOD THINGS THERE ARE IN HEALTHY CLEAN EATING, AND FOR THAT I TRULY APPRECIATE THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS. I COME FROM AN ETHNIC BACKROUND SO WE WERE RAISED ON EATING WHATEVER MY PARENTS COULD AFFORD, PLEASE DONT MISUNDERSTAND ME, IM IN NO WAY SAYING TH AT IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY ETHNICITY, ITS ACTUALLY ALOT OF OLD TRADITIONAL THINKING LIKE EAT ALL UR POTATOES AND UR RICE AND BEANS, LOL JUST AN EXAMPLE, IF U RESEARCH STATISTICS THE HISPANIC LATIN CULTURE HAS BEEN KNOW FOR HAVING ILLNESS LIKE DIABETES AND HI BLOOD PRESSURE AND OBESITY. I AM IN NO WAY TRYN TO STEREOTYPE. I AM SPEAKING ONLY OF MY SELF AND FAMILY, NOT LINKING ALL HISPANICS OR LATINOS. JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU, AND I HOPE I DIDNT OFFEND ANYONE IN THIS COMMENT AS THAT IS AND WOULD NEVER BE MY INTENTIONS. I WAS TRYING TO GIVE U A LIL INFORMATION ABOUT MYSELF AND MY JOURNEY.

[@elliottgarcia375]

I like the way you portioned everything out, put the timers, and did everything in order. nice I'm going to use this video a lot. I'm a beginner!!!

[@amandapearson3154]

Within one minute of watching this I already got practical, different and useful tips. This video stands out from the rest.I love how you go straight to the point, direct and don't go around the world in explaining.Thankyou!!!

[@faz1991]

I've been looking for a video like this for a while! I run a martial arts academy and wanted to show the students how to prepare this kind of thing, but there are too many and i couldn't show them all individually. The great thing about this video is that it is literally fool proof. Step-by-step with explanations, really really nice video guys. Thank you.

[@mcgarcia3286]

Love!!!! This video! The food is where I struggle. Keep them coming

[@patoneil9713]

+Maribel Cardenas Check out my video for some meal prep tips!

[@jaygomezable]

I REALLY LOVE THESE TWO GUYS. THESE JANUARY 1ST I STARTED WORKING OUT WITH MY FIANCE AND SHE HAS BEEN ASKING ME ABOUT A GOOD DIET FOR HER TO FOLLOW. BUT I HONESTLY DONT HAVE A CLUE. BUT THIS WILL HELP ME HELP HER WITH AT. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST..

[@HeyAveon]

omfg, this was without a doubt THE MOST helpful meal prep guide i have ever seen. Thats for making this, i really appreciate it. lol i have been all over the place with my meals. love how simple it is, thank you!

[@heidieho4470]

Great video. .thanks for washing and keeping things clean. wonderful ideas. ..one thing on salads. .i enjoy them in a mason jar but any container is cool but it's putting the heavy or wet items in first then the greens on top, mason jars keep the greens crisp with even the dressing on bottom. Looking forward to the next video!

[@Iheart2cook]

I just want to clarify for everyone that you can't cross contaminate between proteins, i.e. chicken, beef, fish. You can use the same cutting board for all of these items without using plastic wrap or cleaning the board in between. Cross contamination occurs when you cut your proteins on a cutting board and then use that same board to cut your fruit/vegetables without cleaning. Why? Because, the fruit/vegetables won't be cooked. It is impossible to cross contaminate items that will all be cooked thoroughly. Unfortunately, he wasted time and money placing plastic wrap down when it wasn't needed. Furthermore, if you have plastic wrap down on the cutting board, how do you not slice holes in the plastic wrap while cutting the protein? Every hole you slice in the plastic wrap while cutting protein, allows bacteria to seep through. My advice, don't wrap your cutting board in plastic wrap. Just wash your board in between cutting proteins and fruit/vegetables.

[@HEMDWellness]

Yes you can cross contaminate that way. Chicken must be cooked at 165 because of the dangerous bacteria that poultry has compared to beef or Fish . If you cut them all on the same but only cook your beef to 145 then whatever juices that came from the chicken unto your beef.... Is still hazardous

[@Iheart2cook]

Hosea DeMarzino If you're cooking them all till their own recommended internal temperature so they are no longer dangerous, you cannot cross contaminate.

[@chantallarue]

The 4 day prep is a great idea. I do have a half a day at work on Thursday, I can cook it up then for the rest of the week! You two are great, thank you.

[@amandapearson3154]

Love the cling wrap to avoid cross contamination.I was always uncomfortable cutting chicken cause of cross contamination on the chopping board. Important how you reminded us to wash the knife after using chicken.Cheers

[@albertovasquez-parada8544]

Great comments on why organizing ingredients first is better than not having any food preparation ahead of time. Also, interesting comments about portion accordingly to one's body dimensions.

[@madpup_downunder]

this is one of the better meal prep video i have seen very good detail and different ways to cook thing to save time . great job thanks guys

[@kristing5215]

I love the cling wrap over the cutting board trick.

[@supersoundset]

The more BPA exposure, the better. Cling wrap will do the trick. Reheating the food in plastic containers works even better. Moobs anyone?

[@mckayprestwich]

The noise of his alarm reminds me of waking up and I don't like it.

[@mckayprestwich]

Hahahaha

[@oliviaqian6523]

So true!

[@TheEmininja]

same haha

[@iiPoisonous]

Honestly, it gives me a mini heat attack Y_Y

[@davidcomerford7017]

Diet plate

[@kikicz1637]

This was perfect for learning easy food prep, just a note, many ppl don't like quinoa bcs they find it bitter. That bitter taste sits on the outside of the grain, rinsing your quinoa, well, before cooking and adding cooking liquid to your pot, will prevent that bitter astringent taste. I agree with some of the cross contamination and egg carton being a no-no comments, as a professionally trained chef with 20+ years experience, there are things that just are not done for hygiene and safety standards.

[@angelicalee1482]

Love, love, loves this video!!!! That was by far the most informative meal prep vid I have watched thus far. Thank you for all the tips on how to EFFICIENTLY cook meals for the better half of the week. Motivated me to try and meal prep for my entire family for the week... Any tips on what to put in place of meat for a vegetarian? Would love to hear them. Much appreciated!

[@katechiu9458]

He gives excellent instruction. Thanks!!

[@nickfisherNF]

Just did this for the week in 1hr 20 mins - i think itll get faster as I find my groove - thanks guys!

[@PoeLemic]

This is such an awesome video to help give all of us ideas about how to meal prep quickly. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and tips. This really helps me to continue my weight loss journey.

[@meredithshive6458]

Thank you so so much for making this video! This is exactly what I needed and I cannot tell you how helpful this was! Thanks again!

[@guarnotte]

I'm starting meal prep this sunday because of you guys!awesome video, hope to see more of these!!!

[@emilyreyes9620]

Thank you so much for this helpful video!! I have meal prepped in the past, but it makes it easier watching someone else show you how to do it. The first time took considerably more than an hour (including a trip to the store to purchase more tupperware, and I still won't say how long it took), but I'm sure once I get familiar with this process and know where all my gear is, the time it takes will get cut down considerably. Again, thank you so much!!

[@mpenny226]

wow. this is one of the best ones that I have seen

[@b413au]

Definitely the best meal prep video out there! Thanks for sharing!

[@nicolegibson8258]

I don't use a microwave but when I use my rice maker I steam veggies in the top basket. I've made quinoa in it too, but I just prefer brown rice.

[@zachforbes8621]

Nice. I would love to see more variations of a weeks worth of meal prep if possible.

[@TechWiz1983]

You guys are fantastic! My mind has been blown; this will save so much time--super excited to try this; off to the grocery store I go! :) Bon Appettit! =)

[@Alex-fd6gz]

Whats the shopping list required for this?

[@cinnamonwarrior148]

Love this video it's so helpful...wish y'all would do more!

[@NaitsHDFTW]

17:55 awkward

[@husseinabdulruhmanuda9623]

The whole video is pretty much awkward.

[@enroutedelta_8879]

But still lovely.

[@NATOxCOMBATTERE]

Very useful video, well structured, entertaining and well edited.Thanks a lot for sharing this!

[@dafrankfuter]

I've been doing something similar but you guys have given me more ideas ! Awesome video thank you !

[@tashas8840]

Thank you... for making this interesting and giving me an idea for how quick meal prep CAN be! It has just always seemed so daunting... i.e. I see a picture of meal prep and think to myself, "Jeez, that took a long time!" Thanks again. This TransFORmeD training program has given me a restart to my workouts and perspective on things. :D Yay!

[@CutTheFat]

I really enjoyed this. My only question is about cooking all of the protein on one pan. I honestly don't know the reason why, I'm assuming cross-contamination.. but I was always taught the proteins should be cooked separately. So I guess my question is -- if you were worried about cross-contamination when it came to prepping, why were they able to be cooked together on the same pan?

[@UberLyftNick]

When they are all cooked to temp, the risk for cross-contamination is non-existent.

[@CutTheFat]

Nick Friese I didn't realize, I guess I am also one of those people that don't like my food to touch. Haha - thanks for the response though!

[@beautyforeverrr]

Wow that was SO unbelievably helpful thank you so so so much!!!!

[@TexicanJavierR]

Seen a lot of videos, but this one rocks. Thanks!

[@TWENTY6ENTERPRISE]

to PROPERLY avoid cross contamination avoid usin da "saran wrap trick" .. as u r cuttin da items u can accidentally cut da saran wrap n cross contaminate by drippin blood on2 da cuttin board widout knowin. its best 2play it safe n wash, clean n sanitize in between species... on top of dat da proper cuttin order is 1) beef 2) pork 3) fish 4)poultry

[@Mr.MatthewWilson1776]

this video made me subscribe!! :) youre awesome. love the personality im sure it makes the prep go faster and easier. just starting my journey to weight lost and this gave me the motivation i needed for the right kind of meal prep.

[@TheKb24BM]

So I'm guessing Saran Wrap won't get cut with a knife? Considering you're trying to protect the board from contamination of the chicken by placing the Saran Wrap and cutting on top of it. You are very bright! (Sarcasm)

[@imillarti08]

along with the smoked paprika I like to use smoked sea salt. Awesome flavors

[@everybodyhatesnate]

Great video! First time seeing either of you and I will for sure watch more!

[@denver41]

OK, what do you have the oven set for with the proteins. No way do you cook those for 15 minutes at what you cooked the sweet potatoes...? I have tried to figure out what you cooked all of those at and unless I keep missing it, you don't say. Some help on this would be awesome. I love the video. Thanks!

[@steveo54]

this is an awesome video. definitely might give this meal prep a shot!

[@asalymerritt4589]

Do you eat the eggs cold or is there a way to reheat them? Also would you eat one of the meals for breakfast, because none of them really are your typical breakfast.

[@Davena]

Not sure if this was pointed out- but the cutting board was contaminated when he cut through the thin plastic wrap with the knife cutting the chicken! SMH

[@chefroman6581]

excellent cooking tricks just I don't like microwave, what about if I use dates instant of blueberry?

[@daveyjayblues]

Just wondering if you guys thought about steaming the vegetables as i found when ive put in my sweet potato in the oven it tends to get a hard cover over the cut edge and it doesnt taste nice

[@oska1010]

Awesome vid, do you have a grocery shopping list you can post for this. Thanks

[@Scheldex]

So, to the most important question, and originally the whole reason behind meal prepping... How much energy is in each meal? And how are the macros? Do you have any clue at all? Do you even lift?

[@reese373]

I make for 7 days. I leave 2-3 days worth in fridge and the rest in freezer. Take out freezer day before you are to eat and heat it up and it doesn't taste that much of a diff.

[@DeborahSutherlandDebinPei]

What a great tip with the salad in a baggie, although I would want more veges in with my lettuce it still is a neat trick.

[@TheDivineKali]

Thank you for this video. I used it as a great guide!!

Love the tips! My meal prep's been taking me 3 hours + lately! I think the treehugger in me will find clever ways around the cleaning shortcuts though. ;)

[@gwynne-tendo]

Fantastic video! So many useful tips and tricks! 👍

[@slaskendasken]

Do your freeze the meals, or for how long can they be in a normal fridge?

[@Mohsen.Mokhtari]

thats my question too

[@dragonscoils8149]

Fridge...thats why they say 4 days is how long it will last.

[@Mohsen.Mokhtari]

+Nigel Collins thanks buddy

Did you guys also have regular potatos along with the sweet potatos at the end?

[@allisonathome2004]

I think those were just "white" sweet potatoes!

[@HRHBeatrix]

Loved the video & very helpful tips. My meal prep takes me 5 hours. Arrrgggg. I found it entertaining. It would be boring if it was just one person.

[@TooMuchTemper]

ok i must ask. what do you do after the 4 days. make it again the following day after eating the 4 meals? or just wait again til sunday to prep it again and eat other stuff on the days that dont have meals prepared? cus i know that all the meat can get pretty expensive. please answer cus im stuck.

[@nicolasarias4885]

What temperature did you cook the meat, fish and poultry on? 350 degrees?

[@psyenergy1]

Love these guys, they're totally helpful and wicked :D

[@adrianbook7786]

I have a very busy job, and not frequent access to a microwave or somethin to heat this stuff up, what do i meal prep with that kind of restraints

[@azor23ahai]

why does none of these videos say : 1. How do you refrigerate/freeze the prepared meals 2. How do you heat them up before you eat (microwave or the pan?)

[@RobinJohnson]

I have a questions or two, I wanted to get a cross calculation and ask a few questions no one even qualified it seems can give me a straight answer on... My caloric deficit intake in 1518 as i am 175 cm tall and weigh 80 kg with a waist of 104 cm ... I'm doing 4 meals a day... The protein components of the meals are chick, beef, mince with my protein being 45% the Carb 35% and Fat 25 %. I'm making beef patties with the mince... Would i calculate as such to get the amount in grams of 1 patty. Is it possible to put in a food to my fitness pall and get the macro break down? 1518 (daily intake) divided by 4 (Meals a day) = 379.5 (Calories per meal) divided by 100 x 45 (percent) = 170.77 (Calories) Divided by 4 (Calories per gram of protein) = 42.6 grams for 1 patty? My friend whom is a competitive bodybuilder thinks i'm not eating enough and thinks i should be having 2500 calories a day because my body isn't used to cutting at that low level and the body can only survive on a minimum of 1200 and it will give me some where to go... but i feel that is above even my maintenance according to my calculations but he is a competitive body builder, either way i don't want to waste my time. I'm also taking a whey protein although i haven't been measuring it just doing a scoop. How much of this should i have? What are your thoughts on all this?

[@TerradudeV2]

I honestly wouldn't be eating at a deficit at your weight. 80kg isn't particularly heavy, you might be a bit chubby, but as a male, eating only 1500 kcal/day is gonna make lifting heavy really difficult. With regard to your beef patty question, depends on the fat content of the meat. 96% lean beef will have a different macro ratio than 80% lean. Find out what kind of beef you're eating, then yes, you can look it up on MyFitnessPal and get an estimate. Look at the macros for a 4oz/100g portion and figure it out from there. Whey protein is a supplement. As in, it SUPPLEMENTs your diet. If you're getting enough protein from your diet, don't worry about whey, especially as a beginner. If you're not getting enough protein, then supplement whey until you are.

[@getitupyegames9289]

How would you store this freeze and take it day before use?

[@yairtovias3094]

Did somebody have the grocery shopping list it will be helpful thanks.

[@joshcostello5278]

I watched 20 meal prep videos and read 7 articles and NOT 1 OF THEM explains whether or not you should freeze or refrigerate or how long it will keep in the fridge vs freezer SERIOUSLY?

[@georgiosmavreas9858]

should we not weigh the meat after the cooking? Since it tends to loose about half its size while it cooks?

[@balintshoeshine2402]

Hi, Great video, It got me motivated to start again! How many kilograms of each of the meat you used?

[@patosullivan5836]

Do you reheat the meals in the microwave? If so, for how long? Thank you

[@tolgakana5581]

What brand are those containers? I can't seem to find good enough ones.

[@sauravk00005]

HOW TO REHEAT ? IN MICROWAVE ? / IF , @ WHAT TEMPERATURE. TIME. HOW TO KEEP IT , FOR HOW MANY DAYS (FREEZER / AT WHAT TEMPERATURE) PLS REPLY .

[@93georgec93]

So would you re heat those meals before eating them would microwaving be okay , how long do you think if you can

[@ChristaBeery]

+george cox You can microwave them, or you can put them in a different container to heat in a toaster oven or regular oven. Microwave would probably be a minute or two (I'd put a moist paper towel or clean dish cloth on top to keep everything from drying out).
