I applaud your discipline with the handfuls of trail mix. That's going to be the entire bag for me every time, so I just leave it on the shelf at the store.

[@intuitivehomebrew3199]

Same here. No snacks at work because that bag is going away!

[@BM-si2ei]

Everyone knows that a container is a single serving, regardless of container size. Joking aside, I genuinely have to take this into account to stay relatively healthy and lean.

[@PringleTheOne]

Bro so true bro. I usually can ration my trail mix but I bro I can tear through those man

Decaf coffee is a decent compromise for caffeine-wary coffee lovers. ☕️☕️

[@stephenschuster9929]

Yep, I only drink decaf now. Cant really tell the difference at this point.

[@honzordr8517]

I use decaf beans as well. But I do mix them with reg beans to make half caff presses.

[@wildhawker]

Yes, very true, though some decaf has quite a bit of caffeine (unless it’s Swiss Water Process). I had to cut coffee out completely (which sucks), but it’s made a big, positive difference in my sleep, acid reflux, and other health considerations.

[@kaliplaya86]

you only live once. You can have 1 cup a day. IF you don't count how many cups you have, it will not matter.

[@SilverPenguin-kc5qp]

Lot of chemicals are used to take the caffeine out of coffee. Organic Yerba Mate works better so check that out or stay with regular coffee.

Hey dude! Just want to say thank you for talking so openly and honestly about your diet and training routines. You really made me check what I was doing inside and outside of the gym and have pivoted more to a balanced running/full body weightlifting program and I have never felt better. I also stopped intermittent fasting after taking it to an extreme last year and it feels great having energy before a big run or lift day. I’m sure other subscribers probably have similar stories but keep doing what you do!

Glad you posted this. I had been following roughly the same meals as your old 5000 calorie bulking diet, just more toned down to my caloric needs. Was just thinking I could use some changes and was looking about an hour ago for bulking meal plans I actually liked. This was perfect timing.

*greek yogurt hack*- use frozen strawberries and prep it the night before. As the strawberries defrost they create a naturally sweet liquid that you stir in and which sweetens the yogurt. Its part of My everyday first meal at work 👍

Or just do turkish yogurt which is already sweet and still lower in calories than greek

[@Ferns_Gaming]

A fitness youtuber with a normal balanced diet not spouting some hot garbage diet fad? well butter my bottom and call me a biscuit. Kidding aside, I've been subscribed for years and years now and I always appreciate the realistic and level headed advice and content you put out.

[@WolfgerSilberbaer]

I do love hard boiled eggs, but hear me out... 4-inch silicon muffin cups. Crack two eggs into each cup. Poke the yolks just so they "deflate", or scramble if you prefer. Add some seasoning or not. Bake at 350 for 17 minutes. Can be refrigerated and pulled out for breakfasts the next several mornings (the cups I bought were a 4-pack). Perfect size and shape to be put on an English muffin, but can also just be picked up and eaten on its own.

[@AlgernonBrosplitz]

17 minutes to cook two eggs in that temperature?? Enjoy your rubber

[@paybax]

No that’s definitely for 12 of them. I do 315 for 20 mins on convection bake. I do the same, jumbo ones. Basically just scrambled eggs, but I add in plain pea protein, then top with hemp hearts and some cheese. Mine are smaller but are 107 cals with 12g protein. Love them.

[@WolfgerSilberbaer]

@@paybax 2, 12... any number, really, as they aren't all in one big bowl. For me it's 2 per cup, as many cups as I fit on a baking tray (for ease of inserting/removing to/from the oven). You can absolutely add cheese during the bake, but I add mine when I make the sandwich. (egg puck and cheese slice between English muffin halves, microwave 30 seconds)

[@jacehardin7828]

Alan I just ain't to say you've been the number 1 influence on my lifting journey since I got into lifting and found your videos, thank you so much for making videos for young men like me to help us not make stupid mistakes, it's been awesome growing up watching your videos and still learning even more from everything you post

Learning to cook and about nutritioun is extremely important no doubt.

[@zalibecquerel3463]

Dude! With a diet this healthy and delicious, and regular exercise you're going to live a LOOOONG time. Like Dan John, some day, "you're going to dance at your great-granddaughter's wedding".

[@alucardleashed]

Alan, I would suggest you look into a Ninja Creami, as it will allow you to very effortlessly make healthy 300-400 calorie pints of protein ice cream that you can enjoy everyday (or even multiple times a day). Plus, it's great for the kids as you know exactly what goes into the ice cream/sorbet you make. It's changed how I diet, couldn't recommend enough.

[@user-dn4lg1dv5v]

💯 agree with this. The protein ice cream makes it seem like I'm not even dieting. There are so many great receipts out there for the protein ice cream that the possibilities are endless.

[@EVO6-]

​@@user-dn4lg1dv5vyou guys need to work on your advertising skills. Nobody believes this is real lol.

[@ssholum]

Even less elaborate protein icecream recipes hit the spot for me. Just made some the other day with 2% filtered milk, protein powder (one was whey isolate, one was an isolate/concentrate blend), some sweetener, and an egg yolk; took a couple of re-spins, but it had great texture and flavor. I love having some kind of dessert almost every night, so protein icecream and other high-quality low calorie desserts make things way easier on me.

I would have more protein with my breakfast. Protein for your first meal of the day is most important to get enough leucine to get your body out of the catabolic state from fasting from sleeping. I try to have at least 40-50 G protein with my breakfast.
