These Sriracha Lime Chicken Bowls have 41g of Protein and Less than 500 Calories

[@Mixwell1983]

Been meal prepping since middle of June and I'm down from 320LB to 291LB as of today. I weigh myself once a month (maybe twice if im impatient) but I've made a few of your dishes. I do have a culinary background so the prepping is easy but coming up with ideas sometimes I get stuck with the same old stuff. The ground beef teriyaki bowl with rice and broccoli is definitely in my wheel house along with chicken thighs. Roast potatoes and zucchini

[@MrEd8846]

Nice. I found some meal prepping stuff during covid and went from 210lbs to 160lbs (and yeah. Mixed in some extra walks or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. And a bit a bit of lifting. Nothing too crazy. Just something to keep my body active since i work at a bench or desk all day). And I still make these even though I'm happier with my weight.

[@BoogieDownProduction]

thats awesome, congrats. how many calories do you eat and whats your activity level?

[@lf2334]

Congrats!

[@olofpersson983]

Couldn't tell you how much inspiration this channel has given me these past 3 years or whatever. From pancakes to fiery brussel sprouts. HUGE thank you

[@Omen_a]

Stuff you show is usually quite simple to make, but this takes the cake! Doesn't get easier than this, thank you very much, will try this next week!

[@patrickhall5739]

Great recipe! I can't wait to try it! I've done several of your meal preps the last 4 weeks, and it has definitely helped "spice" up the boring plain chicken and rice!

[@nolanrux7866]

For the chicken thighs, I threw them on my grill, and the little bit of char added such an awesome texture!!

[@cptbrncls7050]

thanks for including metric equivalents in your videos and recipes

Prepped this for our lunches this week. AMAZING!

[@RockTheCage55]

As always Josh your recipes are on point. So good & so healthy. Thank you for all the work you do.

[@kermit1]

This was delicious Mr Cortis. I’d love to see you do a recipe with mushrooms at some point as they are my favorite! Thank you!

[@nachiketn8032]

More such meal preps please, thanks!

[@burningblueskies]

I appreciate this lower calorie meal! It’s hard to find exciting stuff to make when in a CD. Thanks so much!

Awesome Josh. It just so happens that I have chicken thighs in the fridge now waiting to made into something delicious. Thanks

[@mikepagebrand]

Drinking water out of the mixing bowl is wild i thought you were drinking the sauce

[@TheMealPrepManual]

It was clear sauce

[@Wollwolff]

The way he holds the fork isn't shocking anyone anymore so he had to come up with new tomfoolery

[@Hogue_Indiana]

Thanks so much. It looks like you got about half of your daily water in from that mixing bowl. Keep it up! Great video. I'm looking for more 500ish cal meals.

[@brianmenkes424]

Love your content. Surprised you don’t use either the dull (nonstick) side of the foil or parchment instead. Will come off easy and no need to spray anything.

[@amynoyer2671]

This looks really good, thank you for sharing. Question though why is the backsplash covered in plastic? 🤔

[@ysbelbella6674]

Korean sweet potatoes are delicious!!

I love japanese sweet potatoes, this is right up my alley

Josh - love the videos! Do you mind sharing what size frying pan you use for meal prep? Trying to figure out what to get - thanks!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

I believe it’s 13 inches. I always try to buy the biggest one I can find

[@danieln6700]

Currently cutting a bit, wednesday is mealprep day and I think I know this weeks dish

[@Kassuhday]

I have a request. Can you combine some of your videos into 1hr+ long ones? I watch these to go to sleep or background noise too lol and love to eat them

[@Someguy-t1q]

create a playlist of them

[@DC-tv9fj]

Do you have a video of how you calculate the macros for the dishes?

[@Andriej69]

Weight loss is not something I need right now, but this will surely come in handy

[@Deepockets1]

Wait why do you hold your fork like that though😭

[@jadkins624]

He holds his fork a different way in each video.

[@thewrightthings]

To be fair……. With produce and ecoli linked to other things, this is a valid question

[@rootd22]

Why not foil for the potatoes? It would help clean up on those too

[@pubcollize]

I thought you're taking a big gulp of the uncooked salmonella marinade at 6:06.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Sounds delicious

[@Meznett]

If you don't like sweet potato, I assume normal potato will work as well?

[@JonathanGarcia-iy3dj]

I really like this one but instead of losing, im trying to bulk. Anymore tips you have to increase the calorie count here ?

[@kurtisbrowne8194]

We need some weight gainer vids winter is coming!!

[@Stephen-mw8ze]

What if it was poo. This is my new first question.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

glad i could help

[@splash6117]

Lmao

[@Zombilian]

This is good for cutting but what should I add if I want to bulk ?

[@taylorbrown7663]

What about substituting chicken breast instead of thighs? Flavor might lack a bit, but wondering if I could substitute.

[@kcjcaf2013]

Can you freeze these? If so for how long?

[@kyriestephenson496]

Can you freeze these?

[@uraddiictOnx3]

Yum yum yum

[@naltaca]

What do you do with the other half of the sauce?

[@zacharysmith-r8r]

Are you related to Heath Cortis?

[@sprite44444]

If I wanted to use breast instead of thighs, could I cook them with the same directions? Maybe cut them in half first. Thank you!

[@marioj6878]

so many comments to this video are terrible. i'm sorry you have to deal with that.

[@MemineAussi]

The meals look like they would freeze well.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

possibly. usually you would want something a bit more sauce heavy for the freezer. It could do fine in the freezer but not as good as a chili or soup

[@AsapKimchi]

And how much carbs???

[@jenniferwinsor7740]

I’m with you Josh. No poop for me in my food. Not even a little speck. When I get a cut watermelon, I wash it and slice off the exposed ends or get a whole one a wash it before I start cutting because I don’t know if I trust how it’s been handled.

[@NickMaovich]

why do u hold your fork like dat

I stopped watching my crazy Karen videos to watch this, Josh. Thank God there is something good finally other than crazy Karen videos. The great thing about your recipes is the variety. I have my standard go to recipes, but this looks like another one I can start making as a standard.

@@jcreel234 I'm not much of a fan either. But maybe with all the other flavors, it may not taste that sweet.

You could always just use regular red potatoes. It would taste a little different but still be good.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

could have been.

[@lf2334]

Looks great, but chicken thighs are disgusting. I've made them myself a few times, and even had them twice at higher end "foodie" restaurants and they're gross. Chicken breasts are worth the few extra bucks. Change my mind.

[@tigergamming]

TBH i cant take you seriously when you hold your fork like that !

[@Dimerzl]

My brother in christ please stop using cooked rice weight. Makes no sense whatsoever. Just tell us how much dry rice you've used (since any additional weight after cooking is just water), callories wil be the same and we'll have clear instructions.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

The reason I use cooked weights for rice is for two main reasons. 1. There is too much variation between the cooking methods and the type of rice that people use for final yield. 2. I sent out a survey a while back and asked people what they use and the majority of people said that they use pre-cooked rice anyway so in order to meet the needs of everybody cooked rice has been what I use. It’s not perfect, but no way would be. When I have used dry weights in the past, people commented and said they were left with not enough rice and we’re annoyed that they had to cook more. Unless everybody uses the exact same method and type of rice I use it’s never going to be perfect so by using cooked, I can ensure that everybody’s meals will have the same general amount.
