Thanks for sharing that Ross. Would you like to tell us about the shape and consistency of your bowel movements too?

[@kermit1]

I love how detailed you are regarding weight and calories when putting together these meals. Really helps me stick to my caloric goals.

[@johnkevin1104]

I like how everything makes sense including the order in which things are discussed (same order that you would do things in when cooking) and how everything is clear (how many grams) to make calorie counting easy. Amazing!

[@sharplespepe2154]

Really great job with this one Josh. Love the high carb, high protein dishes. Keep those types coming!

[@LobsterMack]

So glad I found this channel. I’m doing my second round of whole 30 and as someone with an extremely fast metabolism, it is so difficult to meet my caloric surplus for training. Bless you!

[@zacharyhansen6474]

I love seeing Josh’s personality come through more in recent videos. Love it. So much more entertaining! 😂

[@LOL-uv8ix]

More meals like this man!! I really appreciate these videos

[@codingclass3538]

These videos are so fun to watch, so easy to learn, and the foods are so tasty to eat. I finally gained weight and have progress in my weight-lifting after eating these 1000 cal meals for 2 weeks. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

[@666baseballstar]

How is the progress now?

[@falming0]

Been around since the carrot cake baked oatmeal days, just wanted to say thanks for the videos and all the insight, i've always hated cooking but loved eating so starting with the oats on sundays made my weeks easier, thanks again for all the recipes man, stoked to see you doing so well now. Much love from melbourne aus xx

[@paintskate610]

I absolutely love these I follow em step by step and have a great high cal meal prep. Please keep doing these 🙏🙏

[@DoubleU555]

I don't aim for weight gain for now, but I'll make this anyway and divide into 8 and freeze the remaining portions for emergency meal. Great stuff as always!

[@cloudedBeats]

These 1000 calorie meals are THE BEST!! I'm a hard gainer and have created a 4 week nutrition plan and these recipes make it so convenient and easy!

[@justinhughes1227]

I have tried so many meal preps and yours are by far my favorite. I’ve already made a few and I can’t wait to try more. Loving the 1,000+ calorie meals!

[@timboyle967]

Dude your site and channel have completely changed the game for me. You're a beast.

[@cole4987]

I've never cooked a day in my life and I've been struggling with bulking, but this recipe was very easy to follow and tastes great. Thank you so much I subscribed and will definitely check out more recipes. 🙏

[@tomasplanicka2539]

Despite not looking into high calory foods, it is very refreshing to see something else than classic rice bowls, they all look the same, keep it up Josh! As I am writing this comment I am actually prepping for my mac and cheese with cauliflower and carrot via your recipe.. that one slaps!

[@Lift4Christ83]

I feel like this came just in time. I recently bought a drink/meal prep fridge for my garage, and you better believe this is going in it!

[@oscardanson7127]

Definitely the most useful KZbin channel on the internet. Thanks for all the recipes

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Wow, thank you 🫡

[@Flyingsquirrel69420]

I'm just a random subscriber who's been watching your videos for the past 6 weeks. Since then I've managed to save a bit of money, lose a few of kilos and feel overall healthier and better. This is all thanks to you man. You're awesome.

[@DamionRose]

Just made these, thanks for the easy to follow video, appreciate it.

[@TheAniBueatiful]

I really appreciate this meal prep... I'm a 28 year old woman, who is 5'10 and weigh at this current moment 125 pounds and find it extremely difficult to gain weight without getting fast food. I'll try this out in hopes that I can finally gain weight and eventually muscle.

Been a long time fan of your breakfast oatmeal bakes, but I recently tried your Dijon chicken pasta salad and Sriracha peanut chicken stir fry, and I must say you are the best! Thank you for giving these recipes for free! Keeping me fed for my lunches and saving money while I’m at it. Can’t wait to try this one!

I JUST finished my weeks meal prep before this came out, ill have to wait till next week !

[@magicmersh5225]

Up to 7 of your meals, 2 I made twice, stocking the freezer so i can keep a steady rotation of different meals each day, I divide each in to 4 servings instead of 5, have my 5yo daughter help me prepare sometimes, thanks again!

[@zangl2955]

Do they freeze and thaw well?

[@Dino-oz4ck]

i love these videos, the editting lmao

[@clementm9161]

Okay, I'm sold. I have big troubles eating enough calories to get bigger despite being a smaller guy (5'10, 147lbs). This recipe suggestion is going to help a lot. Got a few ones for breakfast too I just can't wait to start the journey :D

[@Brianf1977]

Great video! Meal prep is tough for OMAD people and this one is a good idea

[@3657tfj2]

Making this rn with my small oven lol i have to split both the potaties and meatballs in 2 sessions😂 but glad to be here, i started last week by prepping ur bulk breakfast oats and bulk pasta i feel so great❤️❤️❤️

[@kaitlynortiz7428]

I use these recipes for my breast milk supply 😅 they work! Keeping a high calorie intake for me is hard so having these eating once or twice a day makes up for the meals and snacks I miss through the day and I don’t have to worry about my milk supply declining.

[@youtubeuseronlywatches]

I often make some of your recipes for meal prep, so thanks! I especially like adding pinto beans to rice, I always do that now. It's a great way to get some extra calories and protein, and it livens up boring rice. I'm not a fan of combining two different carbs in one meal though, it's just extra effort. I'm happy to have rice one week and potato the next.

[@thecooldude5677]

AY I MADE IT IN A VIDEO ❤ YOU THE BEST JOSH THANK YOU

[@magicmersh5225]

For sure, no worries. Typically I move a bag from the freezer to the fridge the night before. By dinner time it’s a simple soak in water for finishing the thaw.

[@TheLoveForTheBeat]

[@dokidoki408]

Thanlk u, we need more bulk meal prep.

[@DeathTrick101]

Thank you! Turned out awesome. Im a hard gainer plus age and stuff, gained some actual mass, but as said I did add peanut butter (most times). It also tastes great! Used the meal for the last month, and came back to post this, review? Can recommend

[@moritz57]

wow that looks amazing ty sir :D

[@carlosmartinezgarcia2616]

I've been cooking your meals for over a year, I consider me as a big fan! As a college student that goes to the gym, you've helped me a ton!! shout-out to HEB also. Is this recipe on MyFitnessPal? if not, could you add it? Great meal btw.

Great video for bulk season! I might still do this now & not do the potatoes wedges

Great recipe, thank you! Made this but turned the potatoes into mashed potatoes instead of wedges with some milk and a little bit of butter, left the skin as well as it doesn’t bother me (plus good nutrients) and season with salt, pepper, garlic.

[@TheCJRhodes]

As a 6'4" active dude who started a bodybuilding program about 7 months ago, the hardest part about building muscle has definitely been trying to keep even a small caloric surplus, and getting enough protein on a consistent basis. Meal prep has helped a TON. Especially to easily give myself 4 or 5 instead of 2 or 3 meals per day, so I don't feel like I'm forced feeding myself in the mornings and at dinner time (when I'm most hungry). Thanks for the videos my man.

[@pioteko]

I need 4 of these in one day to gain weight lol

[@camskii]

Definitely know your pain. I'm 6'2 195 and am on my feet working all day. I try to hit gym every day, usually get atleast 5 in. I've been trying soo hard to gain some of the weight I lost back. I just bought a 15lb bag of weight gainer to try and add some calories

[@brassyjazzful]

Great recipe, gonna try this one soon, I love meatballs! Question, you stated in a couple past videos that you only meal prep about one to two meals per week.... What do you do for other meals? Wondering if you could do a video on how to meal prep the 'non- meal prepped' meals.... I'm one that in a perfect world and with unlimited refrigerator space I'd meal prep about 4 meals for the week, but I don't have the room and that's a lot of time spent.... but I don't know exactly what to do for other meals if I only do one or two meals...looking for other ideas.
