Size For Seventy With IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Chris Tuttle

[@UniversalUSA77]

This is a very important comment about this "Size For Seventy" video. The important takeaway is NOT following the exact diet that Chris shopped for here. Instead, it's the basic idea about HOW to show for food strategically and smartly. Many will probably say that they will use this specific diet or wish that they could afford this specific diet in their region/country (or that $70 won't go far where they are). That's not the point. The point is, whatever your budget, taking into account your income and where you live, if you shop smartly, you can stretch your dollar. So take the core lessons presented here and create your own custom grocery plan. That's the main takeaway.

[@sickbirds2328]

+UniversalUSA77 Go to Costco, you can get 20 lbs of frozen chicken breasts for $15....Let's say you ate 2 meals with 6oz of chicken breast a day...That will last you a MONTH of LEAN chicken breast for a month for frickin $15... Have one 6 oz beef meal a day? You can buy 2 2/12 lbs of LEAN Top Round steak for $18...That will last you the whole week! OR you can buy 5 lbs of ground beef 90/10 fat for $9 in place of the steak....That will last you 2 weeks for your BEEF MEALS! You can buy 10 lbs of oats for $7 which should last you 2-3 months....You can buy 10 lbs rice, that will also last you 3 months for $9.... You can buy a 60 PACK of eggs for $7....If you have a cup of egg whites a day (8 eggs) + 2 whole (10 eggs).....That will last you a week for $7.... You can buy 4 lbs of ground turkey for $15.....That will roughly last you 2 weeks for a turkey meal..... This covers all your meats, a lot of your carb meals, basically the CORE of your meals..... So if you do this the CHEAPEST way possible with the ground beef 90/10....This is a MONTHS WORTH of meals for $95!!! 95 / 4 is only $23.75 A WEEK!!! No excuses.... This is even 1/3 the cost of $70 a week....Come on, $23.75 a week? $3.39 a DAY to have TOP QUALITY protein sources and nutrient dense food??? NO EXCUSES HERE!!!

+Sick Birds THANKS !

[@dgwear69]

very relieving to hear a bodybuilder who isnt so invested in old bro science logic!

[@beauhatch]

+dgwear69 hes got a masters in nutrition, (RD)i love the guy lol

[@Methxdz]

Still reference this video for grocery shopping and meal prep for myself and first timers to the lifestyle

[@UniversalUSA77]

+Kaylen Howard My personal favorite Size For Seventy episode by far.

[@Methxdz]

+UniversalUSA77 exactly even went on Tuttles Instagram to show my appreciation hope you guys drop another one soon!

[@KidBaklava504]

Kaylen Howard I agree 100%! This video and the Tuttle Diaries episode where he shows what he eats in a day... the one with the sidearm on the kitchen counter! Very informative and great reference for diet info.

[@cmmconstrictors5971]

he takes his food serious feels good watching this knowing that I'm not the only one who food shops like this

[@UniversalUSA77]

Chris Mcdonald As a bodybuilder AND a practicing Registered Dietician, Chris takes his food and his nutrition very, very seriously. Great to see his emphasis on veggies too.

[@Mark-ho6tn]

He takes his juice very seriously

[@oz-jt7sg]

I've watched a lot of the size for 70 or big on a budget videos, this one has been the best. I like how he explains his thought process and tells you about the deals. The other guys are just like "packs of beef, oats, rice, eggs and Frank's...done"

[@Tommy_Unders]

Chris seems like a smart guy. Always concerned about his health. Would like to hear him talk about gear use and how to do it safe as possible

[@lewishayward994]

Universal should just let this guy go round the store without a budget. His knowledge is amazing. just buy everything you need and let me know everything

[@UniversalUSA77]

+Lewis Hayward That's a different concept and one we've been thinking about for a while. This is where Tuttle spends 100, 200 or even more each week for his ideal diet.

[@lewishayward994]

Yeah, just seeing him buy his ideal shop and seeing what he gets and why rather than what the general lifter should get would very interesting.

[@christuttle6487]

+Lewis Hayward I am in!!!!!!!!!

[@JiminyWhisker]

Love his insight on nutrition. Very knowledgeable and reliable information. Great episode

[@dimeraRaven]

Just like any other Universal & Animal video, before it even starts I know I'm going to enjoy it.

[@UniversalUSA77]

Animal Two channels, twice the content.

[@BodybuildersGR]

Loved the video!

[@PatMcNamara1]

Finished the video knowing information I didn't know before. Thanks Chris, and universal.

[@Lloh93]

always a great joy watching universal's videos. extremely informative!

[@UniversalUSA77]

+Leonard Loh Thanks for watching.

[@ffrob2001]

Thank you Chris Tuttle and Universal. Please keep making these videos!! I save every one and they really help with im just stuck with no more ideas for food. I use the meals and also cook them the same way to change it up from my meals, I just change the portions to make them fit my macros. Im always looking for new ways to do it so I dont get so bored. I have saved all the ones from Universal and Animal. I just wish the Animal ones were in color during the cooking. Looking forward to new cooking videos

[@timmyboymoves]

Wow great video! Chris is very knowledgeable and video is informative.

[@backfru]

Hey mate, watched a few in this huge/size on a budget series. Just wanted to say I enjoyed this one the most by far. I though you placed a higher emphasis on health than some of the others, which was cool. Alot of knowledge bombs too! Great stuff, love the channel

[@christuttle6487]

+backfru Thanks bud!

[@superdada3087]

by far the most informative of the series

[@TuttleNutrition]

Thank you

[@ericschwartz3582]

Really great info from Chris here. He is very smart and has a great, easy to understand presentation style.

[@fueledmuscle]

Love all his videos, he explains and educates his choices along the way...

[@melissameyers1872]

I’ve watched a lot of these videos. This one was great. He speaks about the science and reason behind the foods, as well as some helpful hacks if you’re in a pinch. Excellent job!!!

[@realgdiesel]

Tuttle knows his shit. That's a ton of quality food for $70. Impressive as always.

[@DamonGorrie]

UniversalUSA77 Please do an Australian version.. Everything is so damn expensive here.

[@UniversalUSA77]

Damon Gorrie The shopping concepts and strategies are the same here and in Australia. If food costs more, obviously you have to set the budget higher.

[@ssmacka]

Damon Gorrie Bought a week's worth of groceries here in Melbourne for almost $50. It's possible, just depends on the area.

[@DamonGorrie]

*****​, cheapest ive done is $130 in sydney. That was keeping it basic and boring.

[@ssmacka]

Damon Gorrie Oh dear I feel for you mate

[@iFaroun]

This has been a very informative video and I think you should do it more often with this guy: Chris Tuttle. We need more smart bodybuilders like him.

[@footsooz8996]

Perfect time to watch this video since Valentine's Day is just around the corner lol. This made everything a lot simpler, awesome video!🗿

[@PoisonXLZ]

It's awesome getting cooking tips from bodybuilders. Since they cook so much food they're bound to have great little tips on how to save time and energy.

[@CanadianFE]

This video should be added to the secondary school curriculum. "Eating healthy is so expensive" great video.

[@PROxxGAMINGxx]

More of these videos! I absolutely love to watch these videos, and the athletes definetly know their stuff, more, MORE! :)

[@Bangadio]

thanks for this video. chris seems to be the most knowledgeable athlete you've had on this shopping on a budget video series. very helpful.

[@UniversalUSA77]

+Bangadio In terms of academic background, for sure. He has a Masters degree in Nutrition and is a practicing healthcare professional. He knows what he's talking about, no "broscience."

[@deezy23]

awesome stuff! Thanks Chris and Universal!

[@mavs2p2]

Good variety, very informative, great video!

[@GreddyS14]

As a 250lbs guy on a keto diet, this is painful to watch. Can't wait for bulk season, good video, basic stuff gets it done.

[@Moretrailsmorecamping]

Thank you for this, sometimes i am just lost with what i need to pack down for the right and adequate "building" nutrition. And to help with cost also is a plus, again thanks.

[@rminitials]

This is the best SF70 universal has posted. In terms of actual nutrition advice.

[@mets1970]

Nice video, this dude is funny and educational.

[@realyoungkobebryant]

maybe the best video you put on your youtubechanel. i really like antoine, but this is pure information. and he buy veggies execept evan nobody does it before. like that

[@UniversalUSA77]

realyoungkobebryant I really liked Tuttle's balanced approach. He really thought out how to spend that $70.

[@AndreasM01]

He knows his science, i must say, good job man!

[@UniversalUSA77]

AndreasM01 He should. He has a Masters Degree in Nutrition and is a practicing healthcare professional. No "broscience" with Tuttle.

[@soundmatrx3432]

This is great and very informative! Thank you so much. I learned a lot in this that I needed to know.

[@jimclark6789]

Great video. Universal and Animal athletes are very helpful.

[@xtremesoccer909]

Love watching these videos. Marazzo's is my home grocery store. Let me know the next time you guys come through here I wanna come and get some dieting tips

[@Polandsyndromebodybuilding]

best one yet guys.

[@DaveLotito]

Now that... thats some gainz! Great video for someone on a budget!

[@TyRaff]

Peanut butter and bread? I love this guy. Peanut butter toast was always comfort food for me during high school football season.

[@bumzilla8586]

Tyler Rafferty you still like that peanut butter bro just checking

[@Jammerooski]

That natural peanut butter tip is NEXT LEVEL

[@tl7167]

In Australia that amount of food will cost min 100 bucks. Good detailed video though

[@UniversalUSA77]

Tom Smiff It's not about $70 or $100. Set a realistic budget for yourself. Use the strategies that Tuttle presents and make the most out of what you can afford.

[@positivelynegative9149]

Watching this in 2024... Yeah, that $70 isn't going to work. 😖

[@anthonywaldrep5982]

I've been adding natural peanut butter to my oats for quite some time. It's nice to see someone else doing the same!

[@davidg.5521]

He sliced and placed that banana on that bread like a boss.

[@nickhubert3804]

Nice he actually understands food unlike most bbers

[@suttonsplash14]

Chris Tuttle is a legend

[@Cochice2]

You the man Chris!!

[@uhEternity]

we would love to see one with frank :)

[@Goin_In_Dry]

I dig these grocery shopping videos a lot. Please keep them coming. Any chance we can get some Animal athletes in them too?

[@UniversalUSA77]

+I Lift Heavy Shit Plenty more of these on the Animal channel, Huge on a Hundred and Big on a Budget.

[@mrhyde2250]

Love this video. I am decreasing carbs, increasing fat and making fried rice or chicken hash. Enjoy it! You can make air fried potatoes as well with a bit of spray and seasoning. Flavor the veggies by cooking them with lean meat, or ham, or even smoked paprika.

[@bber2013]

I love universal, I love frank, chris, antoine, roman, more and more, I love your lifestyle, I love the friendly spirit you have. I live in a country (italy) that's its like impossible to have and to live it. I dream bigger, i dream usa, i dream to join universal team a day. I hope you will consider in the future to have an italian supporter, i can do all for my dream my friend. all the best and universal is numero uno.

[@jeffreywilliams9220]

Watching this 2020 💪🏾

[@uribe39]

more videos like this!!

[@BubbyKid]

Like the Animal videos, this is pretty useful. At first I thought it was wasteful to shop every week, then I realized how fast food goes bad past the first week. I also might add Sam's Club or Costco for chicken breasts. Since it's frozen, you can get a LOT for under $20. And if you have a local Aldi's, you can get food for super cheap there. Seeing the meals being made is great because almost every bodybuilding magazine/site shows very specific individual meals that cost just as much as the weekly ones. Thanks Universal!

[@mfa-FH]

finally.. a bodybuilder that wear a shirt while on camera.. thank you..

[@newschoolaesthetics]

Smart shopper....awesome Chris!

[@vincegraves1176]

Would like to see the powerlifter version of this series..

[@lakeesha01]

Great video

[@yoursocool1990]

Wow I learned so much from this video. Chris definitely knows his shit.

[@neileomcneilious9882]

I would like to hear Chris's thoughts on GMO food.

[@kodokanshiai2143]

Him and his wife own a nutrition business a couple towns over from me in Connecticut. The guy knows his shit.

[@zenmindgreenthumbful]

This is by far the best video out of the size for seventy and big on a budget series I've seen so far. Too many of the videos the person didn't much if any research at all, and just went in and winged it which often lead to relatively bad meal options. Too often it was "muh protein, gotta get muh protein" and they go in and spend 80-90% of their budget on something like boneless skinless chicken breasts which left them with very little money so the rest of the diet ended up being bland and boring as fuck. For example - Antoine doing chicken and rice for LITERALLY every single meal. Are you serious? Antoine has a great personality but that video was absolutely terrible and reminded me of the old paradigm of the 90's (muh chicken and rice!). Chris did research before hand, set macronutrient goals for his meals, and spent time making comparisons and deciding how to stretch his money as best as possible while at the same time composing a balanced meal plan with good variety. He did not neglect his micronutrients which 90% of the other videos do, and showed even on a budget there is room to include foods high in them in while not compromising your major macronutrient goals within the given budget. He also gave great tidbits of nutritional information here and there, and actually talked about the macronutrient breakdowns of the meals, which not all the videos in this and Animal's series did. Good video.

[@gummybear41283]

this is very interesting

[@leroxx310]

When doing this diet is ok to workout right after my first meal or do I really have to workout at night time?

[@bakryatia2291]

7:25 i was so afraid that he dropped the olive oil 3 times

[@JoseGarcia0428]

This video was great! I definitely learned a couple tricks from Chris here about how to ballpark measure food when you don't have the necessary tools at your disposal to do so accurately. Thanks UniversalUSA77 for this video!

[@burninfate406]

What are the macros?

[@jerrycravatta5720]

Wow Chris great shit will be picking your brain 💪💪💪⚒💪 knowledge priceless 😎😎😎🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@benmatt6180]

Please sous titre en français ...!!

[@benmatt6180]

Lot of french like the body..! Very lot of! Please subscribe in french Thx youu

[@kamranaliawan]

Is this diet for BULKING or SHREDDING??? Do you have meal plan for 1800 Cal with 200GMs of Protein per day for SHREDDING!!

[@ferg2danasty]

So probably a dumb question. but are all these meals consumed in one day or is it one meal per day for 7 days?

[@UniversalUSA77]

The concept is bodybuilding on a budget, so the food shopping portion is groceries for the week yes. At the end the specific meals Chris Tuttle weighs out and prepares would be consumed in one day.

[@Tactrus]

He reminds me of Jay Cutler

[@Tactrus]

Does this guy remind anyone else of Jay Cutler?

[@BigTexas7531]

Who has got a list of what he bought

[@makisparameriths9544]

we want with frank McGrath too. excellent video though

[@UniversalUSA77]

+makis parameriths Animal, our brother brand, has done a ton of these types of videos, including Frank McGrath, like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moC5aoWQatqSbJo

[@makisparameriths9544]

Lol I'm dumb. I forgot it. Yeah I have seen them. Amm I'll grab the chance and I will ask u if the multivitamin animal pak is good enough and if it helps to build some extra muscle UniversalUSA77​

[@makisparameriths9544]

Animal​ my diet plan is simply perfect and my training program as well. I'm just going for my second bulk up season and my diet had one multivitamin so I'm searching for it, in my first bulk up I Gained 35 kilos. So I want to add as much as possible muscle gains

[@makisparameriths9544]

+Animal so it helps to build a good foundation for the body, so if Im taking I don't have to expect changes on my muscle gains

[@tomaskennedy]

OK, so if you’re not supposed to thaw the chicken out overnight, what ARE you supposed to do, how are you supposed to thaw it out to cook?

[@adambev9548]

You can run hot water over the pack of chicken and leave it sitting in the sink for a few hours. If you have more time, let it thaw out in the fridge.

[@max_fjellstorm]

I thought I’m the only one that drinks the eggwhites in the morning because of laziness 😂

pretty funny that he brought his rice cooker but didnt care about a scale

[@vibalite395]

Flash Gordon sound affect at first? Ming the merciless

[@liipasin8938]

Chris, please check time 1:47. Are you calling that a bread? Bread needs flours, water and salt. I am sorry but that what was in your hands was more like a food additive mix in a form bread... All the best :)

[@christuttle6487]

+liipasin89 I am very confused on what you are exactly asking. That is potato bread. It is made with flour. It says bread on the label, just calling it like it states. It may technically not be a "bread" but some viewers may not be as advanced as you are to understand that. Plus the point the video is to provide enough food for the bodybuilder or athlete on a budget.

[@liipasin89]

+Chris Tuttle Well, to be honest, I wasn't asking anything. I was just, actually impolitely, questioning that do a bread need as much food additives as is in this bread on 1:47? It has 13 to 23 food additives, depending on how you count it. It sounds a lot for me. Ok, I understand that when someone is trying to stay in the budget it's almost impossible to get foods with small quantity of food additives. And in US it's harder than here in Finland I quess. But to be realistic it's same everywhere. I mean food additives everywhere. Well, you may ask like myself that do these additives harm us or not? Though there is many research made which prove that e.g. aspartame in small doses should be safe we can't be sure of coctail effects of thousands food additives. And we will ever be. So, personally I am not taking risks. I avoid all food additives I can. My biggest lose might be money lost but my health appreciates it. Chris, I know you know a lot about this subject so could you do a video sometime? I would appreciate it. In the end, I just want to everyone to be health and not be cheated by food industry. Thank you for you videos and I hope success for you in your future challenges.

[@UniversalUSA77]

+liipasin89 On a budget you make do with what you can. It's never going to be perfect. When your budget is unlimited, you can obviously make different choices. Unfortunately, few of us are in a position to buy whatever we want without looking at prices.

[@christuttle6487]

+liipasin89 Oh gotcha! I understand! Oh ideally you should reduce or eliminate food additives as much as possible. I use Ezekiel bread or just plan steel cut oats mainly. Unfortunately there is a lack of solid evidence to suggest that these food additives are either safe or unsafe at this point. it is really a gamble. Some are more riskier than others of course. For example, the FDA's GRAS list (Generally recognized as safe) such as aspartame if consumed under a certain amount per day. Again, we take everything with a grain of salt. We do the best we can at avoiding or minimizing the dangers. However, the biggest dangers that we have no control over and that everyone over looks is air pollution. There are tons of metals and chemicals in our air. Especially if you live near a populated area or city. Again you are rate minimizing foods with such food additives is a good idea. Most people do not care and are looking for affordability, taste, and hopefully nutrient content. Thank you.

[@Cochice2]

Cochice is Me, Trev. that's if you didn't know lol

[@Vinny016]

Why do I find Animal and Universe so similar. Do they have some kind of relationship?

[@UniversalUSA77]

+Vinícius Rodrigues They are "brother" brands. Both are owned by Universal Nutrition, a supplement manufacturer in New Brunswick, NJ. Universal has been around since 1977 and Animal since 1983.

[@AdamHammel]

What's up with the diabetes comment? Does he have diabetes, or is the insulin usage in weightlifting the cause for the change in the way he calculates his carb macros?

[@Johnny4ME2U]

You guys should learn how to use coupons.
