What I eat in a day (at home/NO diet) & my workout! | Food Diary Friday | Melanie Murphy

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

Can we get the first FDF video of the year to 5k thumbs ups!? :) XXXX

[@monicasendoeu9524]

Melanie Murphy I start training 2 weeks and this is help, a don't like gym Soooooo use a App NIKE TRAINING PROGRAM and help a lot. 💜💜💜💜 beijinhos from Lisbon

[@chiara.a.m]

hey Melanie! the reason that you can eat yogurt instead of milk is because the bactria in yogurt eat some of the lactose in milk!! you should try milk kefir, it's 99.9% lactose free because of the healthy bactiria in it and it's yummy (: P.s. I love your eye makeup in this video! supper cute!!

[@mattycakes8795]

Melanie Murphy you ruined toby life go fuck yourself

[@RespectedProfessional]

Hiya Melanie, I tweeted you this article on safety of protein powders www.google.com/amp/s/www.popsugar.com/fitness/Clean-Label-Project-Protein-Powder-44639389/amp You might find it interesting.

[@alinono123]

You're so real, this is what social media needs.

[@nikitasolaya697]

Yogurt doesn’t have as much lactose in it as milk because the probiotics feed on the lactose - also full fat or higher fat yogurts have less lactose than non fat! Same with aged cheese, the aging process actually breaks down a lot of the lactose.

[@SuperWorldDance]

NikitaSolaya its so rare to see proper scientific answer on yt...you go girl! :D

[@Gresaaa]

I had no idea

[@LS-cf4qz]

I always have full far yogurt or milk becsuse its 20x better than the fake non fat stuff

[@smilewithmel]

I love that you've focused on getting strong at the gym rather than anything else! 💪♥

[@BridgetRavens]

"Nothin beats a proper potato" so Irish 💚

[@sophiecreamer8796]

Yay! Love these, as a teenage girl who experienced orthorexia and obsessive exercising in the past, I really appreciate people promoting health alongside a realistic and enjoyable attitude to food and life!

[@alannadiggin9259]

Love this!! You seem so happy with your boyfriend its lovely to see :)

[@grouchy_gourd]

You look so happy and glowing Mel, it's a joy to watch you :) You can buy the barbell pad on Amazon and just bring it with you to the gym, they are like £10-£15.

[@mgiblunast]

You look so happy!! Like you really found your happy place

[@halwen6281]

I love how bubbly and happy you are with Thomas! I'm so happy for you

[@stephaniestorie5825]

Yogurt will aid in your digestion because a lot of the time its got live and active cultures in it which help you digest the dairy thats in the yogurt!! Especially greek yogurt which is strained differently so theres less lactose! (Also why its less sweet and thicker than regular yogurt)

[@marcchase4281]

Oh my god. I just found this channel and I’m so obsessed with this! My ED has been getting very bad recently but this helps so much. You’re so positive and delightful!!

[@AnartamiGames]

You seem so bright and healthy 😊

[@MinnieGClark]

I personally don't have any dairy, but the reason yogurt might be ok for you is that there is less lactose in butter/ yogurts than there is in Milk :D x

[@CS-vc2um]

I love food and suffer with diets. Your breakfast is the most delicious thing ever. I try not to obsess with food and love my body but damn if it isn't hard, thank you so much for the positivity and acceptance you irradiate.

[@merle-k]

1:17 fun fact: misch actually is the german word for mixing :)

[@greensteve9307]

Hahahaha!!

[@kathydelaney2554]

For the hip thrusts if you do it with a long bar bell like the ones you use to squat that then wrap a floor mat around it that will cushion your hips☺️

[@mers141]

Hi Melanie! I've been loving watching your fitness journey the last few months - I am similar to you, I used to DREAD the gym because I would just run on the treadmill and hate it, but a few months ago I started lifting heavy weights with limited cardio and now I actually look forward to working out - which motivates me to eat healthier. I feel so much more positive, energetic, and strong, and I'm enjoying watching you experience this as well :))

[@steffikrose]

You two are so cute, I love the happy giggles

[@tink786Msp]

You and Thomas are adorable

[@stephaniepedestatzo2023]

ah you're such a brilliant person! i love how open-minded you are and how you're pushing yourself to make a positive change, it's very inspiring! also your videos and content in general makes me very happy, so thankyou!! ❤

[@Vita2DeNovo]

You look so happy! I love that you're focused on mental and physical health but also what seems like a healthy loving relationship. Feed yo heart too girl!

[@MeSimoneI]

I love when Thomas is in your videos, you seem so happy! Plus, I'm glad the FDF is back :D

[@mw1476]

Your skin is amazing, you look so healthy and glowing!

[@SlightlyPsycho96]

I always struggled with squat form but I started a weight lifting class at my gym a few weeks ago. It’s really helped me because you’re guided through the movement. Now I can break parallel but I’m so much sorer after

[@greensteve9307]

My personal trainer said that once you can do 12 reps, you should go up a weight setting.

[@abbieamavi]

this is interesting, but what if you want to maintain lean muscle mass and dont care to increase your strength?

[@ameena6485]

Then just maintain your current weight setting

[@SophieLouise2404]

Awww Melanie the look in his eyes after he kissed you! ☺️👌 x

[@nadiary7991]

Hey! Love the Vlog kinda videos :) Tip: Try pilates breathing when working out with weights -> breathe out when you're lifting and breathe in when you let go... makes it easier but also keeps you engaged through it all, helps me tons :D

[@aaminah988]

Your videos make me so happy, glad to see you glowing ❤️✨

[@Lucia-qp8fu]

Hi! First of all I hope you're having a great time with your boyfriend in my country. Just wanted to tell you that you're my inspiration and that you've helped me a lot with increasing my self esteem, mental health, my English (I remember when I could't understand half of what you were saying hahaha, but I do understan almost everything now 💪) and a lot more, and I don't know, watching your videos makes me feel like I'm hanging out with a friend so thanks for that. (I'm aware here in Spain we use way too much salt and garlic in our plates oopsie hahahaha). Love you!

[@KyraRachelle]

You guys are so cute omg I CAN’T ❤️

[@lorr5556]

A video on how you deal with separation anxiety while you are away would be lovely

[@amiramakhlouf6041]

I second this!

[@lisahamilton1759]

I love seeing how happy you & Thomas are 😍🖤

[@paulamartinezfernandez4725]

The padded bar for the hip thrusts is really just a normal olympic bar like the one for the squats with a padding thingy on it! My gym has some laying around so maybe you should find them in there too. Loved the video x

[@BamblingsofNaffy]

It is so nice to see you happy and content :) and Thomas is adorable

[@chocobo5919]

Always love your food diaries, because they really do inspire me to eat better, without making me feel like I can never eat potato chips again xD. Also Thomas is such a cutie ^^, you two match really well ♥

[@amiramakhlouf6041]

melaniiie

[@bibliophilecb]

Love this! By the way, when I do hip thrusts, I just take a jacket or yoga mat or something and roll it up under the weight to add padding, you might want to try that!

[@temidurojaye7390]

wooooo aunt melanie saved me from extreme boredom by dropping a video yessss!

[@marieshark]

You could try doing hip thrusts on the leg extension machine, theres loads of videos showing you how to do it! Alternatively you could wrap a mat around a barbell as a makeshift barbell pad x

[@pennystone2478]

Aw loving all your videos at the moment Melanie! Your boyfriend also seems lovely! Nice to see you so happy! Thank you for inspiring me to start working out more! ❤️

[@metelfordwrites]

I really enjoyed this video! Made me feel motivated to start training again! But also omg yourself and Thomas are freaking adorable! ❤️❤️

[@theveronicaroth]

For some reason I'm so happy to watch this video! Overwhelmingly! Love u, Melanie 💖✨

[@shreyavalunj]

You guys are sooo cute Melanie! Love when you are so happy and bubbly ❤❤❤❤

[@weak-spring-7122]

you have the cutest laugh!! and your arms look nicely toned too 💪🏼

[@Liiimes]

So happy I found your channel, I rarely ever comment on videos but I just wanted to let you know I love watching your videos and it inspires me to be better in a positive and healthy way. Have a great day and thank you for sharing yourself and your life :)

[@ronaj9598]

I fucking love pasta

[@jeaninearianne]

HELL YES! My fave series is back 😍 Thomas and you are so lovelyyyyyy hope you are having a great time in Spain ❤️🍝

[@abirmaa]

[@haileymitchem9922]

Please do these weekly!! These keep me sane; reminding me I don’t have to starve myself to be beautiful

[@brilliantlyizzy725]

I'm lactose intolerant and I find I can eat some dairy products with high fat contents(I'm not to sure on the science but they have less lactase in them which is the stuff that makes you sick)...so for me that's stuff like Greek yogurt and parmesan.

[@fran6825]

BrilliantlyIzzy for me it‘s the other way around. I struggle more with dairy products that are high in fat 🤔

[@lunanova369]

You can buy the barbell cushion on Amazon for super cheap! They’re amazing. (For squats and hip thrusts.) You won’t regret it-trust me!!They have Velcro closures so they’re very easy to use. If you don’t wanna do that, you can just grab a yoga mat from your gym and fold it zig-zag on itself 3x to cushion your hip bones during hip thrusts. And a little tip: keep your head up and looking at the wall or your body (like double chin status lol) rather than putting your head down. It’ll be a little harder but you’ll feel it 10x more in the right areas without straining your back by arching it on the thrust, which over time creates serious back problems. (Bret Contreras, who popularized hip thrusts and is aptly called the “Glute Guy” advises to do them this way as well.) I have damage in my lower back from not doing this correctly during hip thrusts in my newb days.

[@melissabirch2287]

These videos are so inspiring and helpful, they really make me feel less of that guilt for not sticking to a crazy diet 💚 Also you guys are adorable! 😘😘

[@amberjadeharding3241]

Look at your arms they are so toned the hard work is paying off! Again love this because it's so realistic, love waffles 😍 💚💚💚

[@rachaelpope7351]

Lovely to see you looking so happy 🙂 and I love the balanced food and fitness updates, helps get me motivated 🙂

[@claire_x]

I GET SO MOTIVATED WATCHING STUFF LIKE THIS

[@tranminhhang7294]

Really like and miss this kind of video. Do more Mel

[@nadyazulkifli]

Omg you guys are so cute together!! I’m also so happy you brought this back❤️

[@greensteve9307]

Ditto! Even as a straight guy I think he is a attractive man.

[@elifnazergun]

in deadlifts you can close your legs a bit more to feel stronger and to be better at them :)

[@dessiekoleva2494]

Never clicked so fast on a vid. PLEASE make these a more regular thing ❤️❤️

[@Usernamethingy1]

Seeing you so happy and motivated with your gym stuff has helped me get back in to the swing of things with running so thanks ^_^ I was doing a bit anyway but I'd hit a real lull with it and it's nice being reminded how fun and intuitive exercise can/should be. I had a great run last night xxx

[@nasayjones3056]

Yes I love feeling strong!! I lift weights as well

[@hazelb1976]

Yogurt doesn't upset your tummy like milk does because it's lower in lactose, as it cheese :) it's also full of healthy bacteria etc which is probably why you can feel it doing you good!

[@mayraguapindaia4266]

Lately I have been loving having my mocca blended with coconut oil (strange combo, I know, but it is great!) I usually use a vegetal milk (maybe with cow's milk it would get too heavy because of all the fat, but I've never tried), cooca coffee and a little bit of coconut oil and than blend it all togeather. The oil makes it super creamy!

[@rachaelpeters0n486]

I do glute bridges/ hip thrusts in the gym too if the padded thing on the bar isn’t there I will just use a thin mat and fold it over, it’s easier to do that if you use a bar though haven’t tried them with a normal weight, hope that helps!💖

[@mirandamarvin6489]

Oh my goodness how cute are you and Thomas. 💚💚💚💚

[@svenja2577]

These videos make me feel sooo much better, I cant even properly tell why. And wow, finally someone else who doesn't have a good relationship to milk but no problem with yoghurt! (People have been looking weird at me every time I tell them I react badly to most dairy things but not yoghurt!)

[@mimirobin]

try front squats: it's better for overall training effect cuz the position forces you to leave your back straight. it also activates your lower back, the abs and shoulder muscles. also if you're going to the gym daily, doing a 5 split workout plan would be more effective. if you squat/deadlift daily, your thighs/butt don't get enough time to recover, while recovery is essential for muscle growth. maybe try Mondays: shoulder, Tuesdays: legs, Wednesdays: chest, Thursdays: cardio, Friday: back

[@greensteve9307]

mmmm, chicken casserole. Such an easy meal to make and vary. So glad I asked my mum for her recipes.

[@theanniebanannie101]

Just a tip for your hip thrusts- make sure you keep your head up and looking forward instead of looking at the ceiling! Keep that spine aligned

[@LouLouLalice]

This is the sort of video I need! No diet!!! Wooooooo!

[@eviesharp17]

You’re looking well Mel! And I’m glad you’re so happy ❤️

[@arceuslordofcreation8824]

It’s working well for you Mel you look great, not that you haven’t always looked amazing💚

[@eviesharp17]

Arceus Lord of Creation completely agree, she’s looking extremely radiant at the moment, she always looks wonderful though

[@mollyimogen9669]

It’s so nice to see you so happy 😍😍

[@katlawton1572]

Yay!! Food dairy Fridays are my favorite! 😍😍 loving the monthly vlogs as well!

[@HeidiWard90]

I LOVE these videos! I'm getting married this year so I'm trying to lose weight/tone up and since introducing weight training into my workouts I've seen such a difference! Please keep up the food diary/weight training Instagram stories, they're little bursts of motivation for me throughout the day :) I love them! Also, you and Thomas look so incredibly happy, you deserve all the happiness! :) X

[@xcinziaaa]

You look so happy and glowy, I’m so happy for you

[@meganmcculloch4803]

for hip thrusts ivuse a normal bar and fold a yoga/exercise mat underneath so its not directly on my body :)

[@caragrace9260]

I love this series so much! This episode really helped with my own gym routine and gave me some food / snack inspiration💚

[@SophieHarrison69]

greek yoghurt is meant to have probiotics, so for many people with lactose intolerance (like me!) it can be okay. I've really gotten into almond yoghurt and ice cream though :)

[@gabl3400]

This video was so cute! And love how honest you are about your workout routines. LOVE YOU❤️

[@sydneyjoy3839]

Loving the little bear with a jacket in the background. Also, heck yeah a new food diary Friday, I've been waiting oh so patiently for a new one. Glad to see it's back!

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

Sydney Augustine Thomas got him for me as he knew I would miss my cats this month! I love it so much haha xxxx

[@sydneyjoy3839]

Melanie Murphy oh my goodness, how sweet!! He's such a cutie :D I approve of him 100%

[@mariafromsandia]

You and Thomas are so glossily cute, YOU'RE GIVING ME THE FEELS!!! But I'm really happy that you're happy Mel 💚💚💚

[@amberjadeharding3241]

The yoghurt is good because of the good bacteria! You can give natural yoghurt to dogs who have an upset tummy

[@emilylindsay4853]

If you’re looking to strengthen your arms check out Lucy Wyndham-Read. When you don’t have time to go to the gym and use weights, she has tons of arm workout videos that are like 3 minutes long.

[@selinam1704]

It's 2:45am and I keep waking up but I don't even care, I love you. You have changed how I view dieting, eating, exercise and self love for the better. I've watched you for 3 years and I recently read your book and it was lovely, heard your voice in my head the whole time. I suggest you read a book called Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert about creativity, because you're starting your new book and I think it will be helpful Thank you for being so authentic and fun :D

[@ChocolateYmke]

So interesting to see what other people's eating habits are haha! But Mel be careful with your back during squats, deadlifts and the excercise with the resistance bands, try to protect is by not arching it (lower back as well as upper back). Just a tip to keep you from any unneccessary pain, sore muscles are plenty painful enough 😊Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to more of this series!

[@Diligent-Witch]

* Sees notification for Food Diary Friday. SMASHES those mf "play" and "like" buttons. *

[@charliebarrs5209]

What a way to start a holiday xxx

[@RebeccaElizabeth]

Never been this early! Love you Mel, these food diary fridays really taught me to eat like a normal person! Used to binge eat like crazy 🙈 Thanks for the great content! ❤️

[@fabiennehurkens]

It's almost hard to believe you didn't want to make this series this year. You always seem so passionate when you do these videos! Good to see you in such a good place and mind 😊

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

x_Fafa_x I just worry that they get boring haha! For you all! Xxx

[@thatsarahdude5553]

You look amazing and strong Melanie😍

[@ariahynes7760]

Am loving the Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts and chocolate and cinnamon as well.Its probably the probiotics in the Greek yogurt that helps your stomach !

[@Sarahf-97]

These are my absolute favourite videos of yours! xx

[@katetimmons4204]

On the hip thrusts you could try using a towel or yoga mat wrapped around the bar/weight for some protection :)

[@StarLover479]

I love how happy you are! So cute.

[@natsp6339]

You are looking sooo amazing girl!! Those arms are getting so toned and your bum is goals! You and Thomas are so freakin' cute too 😍😍

[@bronterosemoon]

Well aren't you two just the cutest! So happy to see you so happy 💚

[@chahrazedrahmane7842]

the ending was adorable :')

[@Psychedtobelauren]

I’ll never get sick of these videos Melanie 😍😍 wooo

[@Alex_9652]

Love FDF spent hours yesterday watching them. Then went shopping for all the foods I saw. Since yesterday I have eaten linseed bread, avocado and salmon
