We really just have one goal - to make your food life better. Ok that, and be entertained at the same time. And have you learn a few things along the way. So let’s make it 3 goals then.
If you only want the steps to make something, like those vids shot from above with no people, no conversation no nuthin - then we are absolutely not for you. But if you wanna a little fun while you learn, then this is the place.
Cooking doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be delicious.

THANK YOU ❗️

[@darrenobrien7667]

I really appreciate episodes like this. It'd be great to see more of the regular simple healthy meals mixed in with the weekend / cheat day burgers and steaks.

[@pizzaishappiness7994]

👍

[@bengopoyan85]

Completely agree

[@burritofever]

+1 on this comment. Hard to find healthy + delicious consistently anywhere. More please.

[@elizabethscott354]

Me too.. specially now that I got "the sugar" (lol)... need help Sam!

[@taetrrtot6205]

Just exercise

[@WildcatCustom]

Finally! Something that isn't fat or deep fried! It was very nice to have an episode that I didn't have to pick and choose the contents of the food. I've been watching for years and this was very refreshing! I could literally just take any of the dishes and make them without feeling guilty or worrying. Thanks!

[@pattyd2206]

Sam: "Don't eat the same thing all the time!" Also Sam: "You're looking at my breakfast about four times a week." Typed with love.

[@capncrunchog]

Love it Sam! You should more of this.

[@jakeywakeysgirl]

PLEASE!

[@genejohnson3391]

Some low carb stuff would be great too!

[@hollinkarelja7564]

chile crunch is like any other oil, very high calories about 100-120 tsp

[@teemilly]

According to the nutrition label on the Momofuku bottle. 10cal/tsp.

[@cr293737]

FINALLY - recipes I'll actually make! More healthy stuff, please!

[@j3annie1963]

Sam, it looks as if your fan base if generating a Ton of Enthusiasm for Healthy food. While we love all your food, it really is important to everyone to eat healthy most of the time. And your flavor combinations are really speaking to folks! Getting excitement in the daily healthy food makes making dinner, lunch and breakfast worth while! WTG Sam and crew!

[@Sephaerius]

Fantastic episode. I've always wondered what "healthy" Sam might fix. I'd love to see more like this!

[@magicknight8412]

Got to factor in the calories from the oil too which adds up. These recipes are great, tweak them to how we want or need. great

[@DaniilMatzkuhn]

The amount of oil + chilli oil in the Shiitake recipe is probably already worth 200-250 calories. I bet it's delicious, but not exactly the definition of healthy.

[@falsehoodmerchant]

@@DaniilMatzkuhn Agreed, and Chili Crunch is definitely not "almost nothing" that stuff is like 200+ calories a serving I think.

[@nathanimmel2831]

@@DaniilMatzkuhn Correct on a lot of calories, but also gotta keep in mind theres a difference between healthy and eating at a caloric intake to lose weight/gain

[@currentlypooping]

Yes!!! More healthy stuff like this please :D I mean, I love the 6lb burgers but I'm not making that everyday. More healthy meals from Sam means more delicious meals for me throughout the week :)

[@ericskooglund926]

I know it’s been said here already but please do more of these quick healthy meals and snacks. I’ve been watching STCG videos for years and still have some of the old ones saved from when he was in his kitchen and doing the podcast because they were much more basic, healthy, and are my go-to weekday meals (plus I always love seeing Sam fumbling around in the kitchen and telling max to get out of the way). I still enjoy the recent content for entertainment and have made some of them but these are the kind I’ll bookmark and come back to.

[@jpdunning]

I've been watching you guys for years! Just love you guys ❤️ This is the first time I've commented on a video, but I felt I had to. I so needed this! I struggle with finding healthy day to day recipes to eat. I'm such a foodie, which is why I love your shows. Please please please do more of these types of video. I love the bathroom scales image on the title. You could totally do a whole series, like you've done with burgers etc. Thank you for putting out the best videos on KZbin ❤️

[@dylanfromm7656]

I love all the recipes but the first especially is well over 400+ calories considering the amount of oil in it :)

[@johnom4864]

Was thinking the same thing, the amount of oil used kinda eliminated the health component

[@deionsimms5786]

Awesome video! Would love to see more of this type of content

[@mikekaspar411]

Greetings form Whitewater, Wisconwsin!! I have been watching for a couple months now and I love the channel! You guys make the viewer feel like part of the crew! I was hoping to find a compilation video of Sam's bite buildings and admirations and his reactions to the first bite which is almost always one of my favorite parts of the experience. Maybe one will appear some day!!!.

[@fatboyinthewoods]

This was great! I am trying hard to eat better, but watching you cook can be challenging. You should really do more of this kind of cooking, healthier but great tasting. By the way, 2 TSP of the Chili Crisp is 210 calories so I just use one. Lots of fiber though! Keep up the good work!👍

[@brunorivest]

Great episode. Keep the burgers for sure, but you can certainly dive into this kind of suggestions more often. It could turn out as an interesting challenge. If it works, it's win-win for everyone. I think the audience can take it. You could run some tests and see the result with the views and other metrics.

[@donaldhouf8377]

I’d love to see a lot more of these recipes! So simple but they look delicious!

[@tomc9069]

I like that these are SIMPLE, Easy and use what most of us have around the house anyway. Thanks Sam and Max. Please more of these 5 ingredient TASTY meals!😊

[@DannyMacNair]

Perfect time to do this video Sam, we’re getting into fall and the comfort food will start becoming the norm. These are great ideas for that time of year, THANK YOU!!

[@michaelsweet3256]

I try to make as many of your dishes as I can but have been trying to watch the waistline - this was a great video! I'm excited to make all of them!

[@ejesposito2618]

Loved this video with healthy meal ideas. Would love a new series of healthy meal videos. Thank you for this one! 💕 🙂

[@QuikStikz]

We need to see a fridge/pantry tour!! Give us an idea of some staples that you keep around for weekly or monthly use that are just nice to have. That would be a really cool episode. It would also help me at the grocery store hehe

[@judejohnstone1244]

I love that you were explaining the parsley/cilantro bit. I’m like you and believe everything needs a little green. I never run out of fresh parsley, cilantro and green onions. Even though I live near Seattle, I grow an amazing herb garden every year. My rosemary and thyme are evergreen, but my sage and mint are already springing up. I am super excited for my “greens” mentioned above! Thanks for another amazing video! We love you and the boys!❤

[@maryle1631]

Loved this video!! Please make some more of this series

[@stacyrobinson6378]

Please make more videos like this. We LOVE watching you guys but are also trying to eat healthy. ❤

[@VannieEats]

Love the poke and seaweed idea 😍

[@scott1191]

I love the healthy recipes! Only issue is be careful with the Oil amount. Those calories add up fast!

[@kristintaft1236]

I need so many more of these videos!!!! Thank you for doing this!

[@Therstrium]

This is amazing! Would love to see more healthy recipes!

[@nickrotolo]

120 calories in 1 tb of oil. Just as a sight of reference. Most people don't account for the oil in the pans and it adds up quick.

[@bobbbbbb72]

i agree with everyone else! Im loving the tasty but healthy meals, and realistic too, definitely adding the eggdrop and sweet potato to the rotation. more of this please! we love easy healthy meals to add to the rotation. love yall

[@wonkawarrior]

❤ this video, type 2 means I need to eat healthy most of the time, thank you for sharing 🙏

[@HeresGoodTravel]

This was great! Would love a video with 3 delicious salads!

[@mazal-samadi4093]

Awesome. Please do more healthy and quick recipes like these…thanks!

[@JohnThomasii]

really LOVE this- thanks!!! another video like this down the road? thanks again

[@hobonick554]

Been wanting to see this kind of content for awhile! Really helps out with the day to day!

[@lisanowery7107]

Thank you for sharing. They all look fantastic

[@iisreset]

These are great!! Thank you for sharing

[@michaelkramarczykjr8196]

Nice Sam, nice. Awesome to see you break out of that taco, pizza, burger, sandwich merry-go-round. REALLY appreciate this.

[@martinaxelsson9465]

Perfect timing. I am going healthy weekdays and this will help me along.

[@janetroberts2262]

They all look delicious and I’m definitely trying that egg drop soup 😋❤

[@sunnyday3327]

The breakfast recipe with eggs looks so delicious! I’m definitely trying that and having with toast. 👍

[@troyunze925]

Love seeing some healthy dishes to balance out some of the other ones. I just picked up a smoker, can we get some more episodes using a smoker please. Love you guys.

[@AlphaFoxAdam]

I think Sam forgot to count the calories from the olive oil and chili oil in his calorie count. Haha. Not that it's a big deal (maybe 120-150 cals, if he used around a tbsp, or just a tad bit more).

[@rirk1111]

Agreed! judging from the oil used for all the meals, it might be pushing close to 300 extra calories from oil a day, E.G: with eggs/mushrooms/sweet potato/sauting onions

[@Equinoxious342]

What do calories from oil matter? 🙄

[@Nanotaku]

My thought as I went along watching was like, "OK you could just wake up and slam a pint of oil."

[@seanapodaca7012]

@@Equinoxious342because calories is really all that matters when it comes to losing fat from your body

[@TechDaddyFr]

He used way more than 1 tbsp on the first dish. There is at least 400 calories just for the oil.

[@seanpotter6829]

Love it! More of this would be nice 👍🏼 Love all your content!

[@whistlerrealestate1]

More of these healthy option deliciousness videos please Sam! Love it!

[@chriswylie2011]

I certainly enjoy your recipes and have tried a few myself. I would love to see you do more KETO(low carb) options.

[@reecewiczy7758]

Loved this you should make more !!

[@ryaneb1370]

I will be trying all of these. More episodes like this please.

[@RedHeadAgent]

Delicious meals, Sam. So happy to see what you eat on a regular basis. Max, that "Paloma Picasso" black bowl that you purchased a few episodes ago is perfect!

[@megthill]

I love sweet potatoes I'll have to bake this way more often. Thanks for all of your ideas.

[@wilsonnixon9957]

I really enjoyed this video. I like most all your videos but I really paid attention to this one because I want to try a couple of these out. Maybe you could do some more of these delicious healthy meal videos every week or two. Thanks so much for making all your videos. :)

[@avaeallan]

Love this video since this is how I eat most often! Though the fun food videos are definitely entertaining

[@davidpeterson8821]

Love what you did today! It all looks great. I know I will definitely try some of the items that you cook today!,😎

[@cog3216]

Everything looked great Sam! Thanks for the inspiration. One thing I did want to share was your squeeze garlic and other squeeze ingredients. I was using them for a while like you until I read the ingredients. Ultra processed oils are super high in them, so I have reverted back to fresh garlic. Extra work but worth it for a healthier option. Keep on cookin on! Peace!

[@carolineconner1873]

Everything I have made from your channel is absolutely delicious! Would love more of your healthy meal episodes!

[@markseelhammer]

Thanks for this. Would love to see more of these cooking light productions. I always wondered how you keep fit with smash burger month type yum yums.

[@ruthieb7234]

Love your indulgent videos but truthfully I’d make the healthy ones more often. Also the silver pot- LOVE!

[@Lilc97Jax]

More of this, please!

[@honduranlinda]

More content like this please! While I looooove all the”fatty” foods, I’m in need of some new healthy recipes! I’m definitely gonna do the sweet potato one.

[@drami0038]

I am currently eating at not not tacos. Also waiting on a not so basic burger. Thanks Sam. Been a fam for over 3 years. Thank you !

[@JesseJosephKnox]

More healthy videos like this! And suggestions for vendors that ship fresh fish for the good people of the fly-over states?

[@vickitodd8647]

Recipes I’ll actually make. Hope for more of these

[@Newdogg317]

I'd love another episode like this man!!!

[@juliemkphotography9279]

Great episode, Sam! It is full of great ideas!

[@balderodinploug2518]

It’s an amazing concept! Love it

[@dannyhardesty3692]

Outstanding! "Cauli-Rice" stir-fry with egg whites, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, and oyster sauce is excellent too!

[@officecooking]

Everything looks AMAZING! I want to make the soup.

[@paulmason6860]

Just tried the Chili, mushroom egg dish with green onions. Super delish, thanks Sam!!

[@xCookieA]

I have always took your recipes and twisted them into more anabolic high protein/low cal meals. Really appreciate this fellas!

[@Fillmore668]

I’m going to make all of that stuff this week… Looks great.

[@BoudicasQuest]

i have never thought to make my own poke! brilliant, delicious-looking recipes. i've saved this episode to make these ~

[@oliviacatlett71]

More of this healthy goodness please!!!

[@moorenicola6264]

Love this. That soup looks really good. I think it's nice to make a big batch where you poach a chicken breast in the broth first. That stock looked really delicious.

[@B_Rand_On]

Gonna have to do that sweet potato recipe! Looks easy and delicious AF!

[@j.n.jacksonjr.170]

Sam , You need not worry about us thinking any of these recipes are weird or strange, I’ve been making my version of egg drop soup for years , now , thanks to you I have a go to recipe for it! I make so many of you recipes and meals for friends on weekend get together but try to eat lean and healthy during my work week! Thank you for this episode and keep mixing in the low cal healthy meals with your usual content! Love it!

[@jasonfoor4960]

Yes please more healthy meals on this channel! On a side note made your “sausy pasty” for the first time yesterday and the whole family devoured it. That’s saying something cause these teenage kids are the pickiest eaters ever

[@BlissAuburnArt]

Sam!!! Long time fan of your show and love what you guys do. This episode was awesome and I love that you made a little departure from what you guys normally do but still Samified it! I watch a lot of fitness influencers who mean well but can’t cook for $hit lol. But watching you make these amazing meals that are also macro-friendly put them all to shame. I know this isn’t exactly your thing, but I hope up the road you do another episode like this because I would love to see how you apply your masterful techniques to more healthy meals. Hats off as always good sir!

[@Ryan_F.]

Would love to see more ideas like these!

[@AthenaKeatingThomas]

These options are fantastic! I'm curious where you got your salmon, and if it's specially sushi-grade. The dinner sweet potato is something I must try soon!

[@user-xq7ml2ri5e]

We need more of these!

[@suebendel5940]

I've made the egg drop soup many many times. Fantastic and healthy lunch. Thanks STCG!

[@davidlawson4281]

I really got some good ideas with this presentation. Thanks.

[@licialawrence5903]

I have to admit I've enjoyed catching up on all your videos and there hasn't been anything I don't really like that I've seen you make. I'm not a fan of seafood or mushrooms but some of the things you've made I'm going to have to try!! Thanks for what you do, I really enjoy your shows.

[@fsunole4]

Loving the healthy meals!

[@kathleenwassum7712]

Delicious! You are Amazing SAM! Love your recipes! That prime rib with mustard

[@jeremyfish1975]

Made the sweet potato last night! Easy, cheap, and pretty tasty. Need more videos like this 👍👍

[@gail1420]

Thanks Sam for some light weight dishes. Have been skipping the videos lately due heavy sounding/looking dishes. But not to worry , I continue to be devoted.😊

[@shannonvezeau9491]

Made the breakfast meal ... 🔥🔥🔥. I can see why you make it 4x a week. I'm putting it in my weekly rotation! Thank you ❤❤

[@myjewelry4u]

Nice! I’m really not a breakfast person, but this all looks delicious!

[@damienalvarez2957]

Gonna try your poke recipe because I’ve been doing the same thing for quick lunches, especially because I don’t like cooking as much in the hot weather.

[@blackblaze91]

Love your video’s, try to recreate the food at home! I like the idea of doing a “healthier” option video every now and again. Also, what chili crunch do you use?!

[@yvonne5322]

Love it all! I have celiac disease, and I can make all of these!

[@Chappell5252]

The Asian seasoning you use is amazing Sam. I get mine here in North Florida from my local Asian market. It comes in a variety of flavors and they are great! Really good recommendation. Great on just plain rice too! (Oh and ramen as well.)

[@savaunbrown]

Chili crunch is very calorie dense. 110 cals for a tbsp

[@patsymccown2766]

Love, love, love this!!

[@justacrazywoman]

More of these please!!! ❤❤❤

[@RichEvans-rf2zd]

Great stuff! We do similar sweet potato stuffings all the time!

[@LordShockwave9]

Honestly, this is a lovely video and we all need more healthy foods to make for ourselves and we appreciate you sharing these, Sam. Thank you.
