What I Eat in a Day.... QUICK IDEAS + no specific diet, just tryin' my best y'all

[@judygreene2226]

I loved this type of content because it just shows what a balanced day of meals might look like. No program. No diet. No macros. This was so refreshing to have in my feed! 😊

[@Roadie247]

Judy Greene amen! Bc when you stop and think about it ...my great grandparents were super healthy people and lived way into their 90’s and no real health problems! No obesity when I was growing up around them bc we ate from the garden, I played outside from sun up to sun down and when we did eat meat if was fresh from a local farm. No processed food. No steroids, grow hormones, etc . We also walked just about anywhere. Now kids and young people are so out of shape bc they don’t get outside enough and they’re surrounded by bad food, poor habits and parents that both have to work incredibly long hours just to pay bills. So neither can really be home to raise the children. It’s just so sad and I wish we could go back ! Such a wonderful time in every way.

[@EiLpigreco]

Yes please do more of these! We really need to have more "what I eat in a day" videos from people that are NOT dieting, that are NOT only eating a bunch of greens and taking supplements, that are NOT doing cheat days and stuff like that. Normal people, normal-eating people

[@gabiimg333]

YES! I second this 100%

[@alady1109]

I lOVE this video Please do more I really enjoy watching you guys. You are all so sweet and make me so happy. Thanks for brightening my day❤

[@norahsil]

Why is my breakfast the exact same as Gigi’s? I am a 24 year old woman lol

[@arelihobbs1433]

It is so refreshing to see a KZbinr that eats like a normal person!!! lol 😝 you know what I mean ;)

[@amyliz5630]

Areli Nevarez yes! I agree!😜

[@GMPetti]

Agreed!

[@NatalieYTFoster]

Now that’s just mean uploading at the same time as Tyler and making me choose. You win! 😘

[@mobmillion2746]

She’s so sexy

[@abbyschock8374]

When you were talking about folding the eggs.. all I could think was Schitt's Creek "fold in the cheese"

[@dstarlette25]

Same!😁😁

[@jackienoon2130]

Yes!!!

[@that_90s_chic21]

Yes!

[@brookeniswander9604]

"They're like meaty, that sounds gross, but they're girthy" I lost it hahahaha

[@myFashionSpeaks]

Brooke Niswander SAME I think she was looking for the word “thick”???? Hahaha

[@emilyEXECUTIONER]

I love that you eat like a real person. I find a lot of ‘what I eat in a day’ videos so triggering because of how crazy restricted and diet culture-y they are. You are so refreshing.

[@cloudscarves]

I agree!

[@lionessblack]

I laughed at you dropping that k-cup (doing things one handed while holding a camera is hard!) But editing Jess coming in to laugh made me lose it. So good.

[@happilybre5322]

Your "What I eat in a day" videos are the only "what I eat in a day" videos I'd ever watch. When other people do them, it's just triggering 🙄 thanks for sharing your healthy mentality towards food with us. ♥️

[@techwoman2]

I just LOVE Editing Jessie so much!! LOL

[@niknix6]

"when that first sip of coffee hits your soul, man" 😂😂😂

[@cinnamongeeksout]

I love editing Jessica... you crack me up. :-D I love these types of videos and I've made 2 of your dinners from your dinner video. (I can't do dairy so I haven't tried the adult mac n cheese) The House roast Gevalia coffee is so good... the traditional is meh.

[@juliemusic2773]

Jessica is so real... love that she can laugh at herself ...she is one of us ♥️

[@lv2flip24]

cinnamon hensel ... the adult mac n cheese is good. it was a good way to hide the spinach. im not a fan but will eat it if its hidden. the garlic cheese made the dish i think 😃👍🏼

[@Andi-tx1rl]

Not even gonna lie, I was sitting here shoving doughnut holes in my face and this notification popped up & I just cracked up. 😂

[@juliejayeats6684]

omg I've eaten two full donuts today too lol.

[@ClaireSaysHeyThere]

LOVE EDITING JESSICA POPPING IN! Just had to share my enthusiasm. Those clips make me grin every time!

[@ashleightouchet3142]

It’s like a teeny tiny vlog and I love it

[@lisak.126]

I agree with a lot of these comments - love the food videos! Sometimes even if a meal or snack seems simple or mundane, it can still provide inspiration when you're in a rut.

[@jennlynn212]

This is the absolute best “what I eat in a day” it was realistic & didn’t make me feel guilty for my own food choices!

[@gabrielleg8070]

Jessica, as a dietetics student, I appreciate that you do not make any claims about food and nutrition or any comments hinting towards diet culture. Most of the What I Eat in a Day videos that I see are like this and I hate it, so thank you.

[@sarakleinschrodt8966]

Thank you for a fun video! Love this! It feels so much more relatable than others like this. Appreciate it!

[@PurposefulPursuits]

Lol the title @“just trying my best y’all” 😂 I feel that 😭🙌🏾 okay let me finish watching & everytime I see a new video Gigi is just growing so much.... She’s such a big girl now 😩😭

[@steverogersstark]

“Just trying my best y’all” 😂 same girl

[@somewherenorth4092]

Egg drop soup is one of my favorite quick lunches. I'll sautee mushrooms to bulk it up, or toss in leftover chicken.

[@niknix6]

I wasn't a huge salad person either until I discovered jar salads. Basically, you put dressing on the bottom and layer the veggies from crunchiest to softest. When you are ready, you just shake it up. I have no clue why it makes me eat salad, it does!!! And yes, I love these videos!

[@xxPixieChicxx]

Love these types of videos anything that can be made quick and easy is right up my alley, for me being a mom of 3 kids. Making quick and simple, breakfast, lunch and dinners with easy recipes really helps. I would love to see more videos like this! Love you guys 😊💖

[@Rich_kat]

I love these type of videos! And yours is actually realistic... I would love to see a what I eat in a day video for what you feed Gigi! I don’t even have kids but I’m a toddler teacher and take care of kids her age and just find this stuff fascinating for some reason...plus I love seeing that cute little face

[@maryjojaggar9254]

So interesting that you included the heavy cream or half & half that you add to your scrambled eggs. Every time you showed that in a vlog, I thought to myself, "That doesn't make it very healthy," but even in this video you're doing it anyway. Which makes me think that it's not that big a deal and sometimes you can add a little something to make something that's good for you just that much better. Another example of Jessica and Tyler just keeping it real! 💜

[@teressawhitsitt9096]

This was great! I’ve also found that folding butter into scrambled eggs as they cook prevents them from drying out too. I haven’t tried cream but I will after this.

[@sabines7413]

love what i eat in a day videos, gives me ideas to get out of food slumps

[@christinapasz2061]

Completely love your day of eating video. I can live this way. It’s real and relatable. Thank you.

[@amyfretz3387]

You said at the end of the video this kind of video is experimental and you are not sure how you feel about it and for us to let you know how we feel about it. I loved it. You gave me some delicious food ideas. We eat the same kinds of food at our house as your family. Love your approach of this is really a what I eat in the day video not what I eat in a day while I'm filming a video. Please make more of this style along with your usual beauty videos pretty please!!💕

[@amandab9252]

We also primarily eat leftovers for lunch too but some things I do make for lunch are chicken salad, cucumber pasta salad, and homemade ramen with rice noodles. For the ramen I literally throw everything in a bowl and pour boiling water over it cover the bowl for a minute or two and that’s it.

[@amandab9252]

I definitely love your more raw and personal videos! Which is why I also watch all of your videos on Tyler’s channel

[@kimjasper5534]

Love this!!! I don’t think there is any content you have done that I didn’t love lol. Hope you are all staying safe and healthy 💜

[@ambrebellazar1686]

For lunch I like making tuna salads (1 tuna pouch, 2 boiled eggs, diced onion, relish, mayo, salt, pepper). Broccoli salads sugar-free. I love making a tortilla too without whatever I feel like eating that day.

[@mariabrooks8065]

Love this video! I would love it if you did more of these. I really enjoy your lifestyle videos.

[@dheredia2789]

Especially in the summer I make tuna or chicken salad with boiled eggs, olives, celery, dill pickle and onion. I serve it on a salad. I like to use the veggie pasta. I LOVE THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS!!!

[@makeupmd8447]

I LOVE your cooking videos! My husband and I work a lot so I love seeing your easy, quick ideas. Do you guys EVER eat out? Seriously, goals...

[@katybailey7316]

my favorite lunch wrap- spinach or sundried tomato basil wrap with hummus (i use roasted red pepper), smoked turkey breast, Colby cheese, mixed greens, cucumber & roasted red pepper! sometimes I'll add tomato too. its soo good!

[@LippyHousewife]

There is truly nothing more satisfying then when that first sip of coffee goes down!

[@kristindavis4988]

You cracking up about the coffee has me laughing so hard my little Tatum Tott (my dog) is looking at me like I’m crazy! 🤣 I can’t wait to try the dinner recipe!

[@emmahlee1]

For weekday lunches I usually through together bowls with minimal meal prep. The base is typically quinoa/rice sometimes sweet potatoes and then whatever chicken or veggies I have cooked with various sauces. It’s a way to use up left overs and it’s so easy!

[@itsjessicabraun]

Okay I love this idea!!! So simple and easy

[@Michelle-pd2fr]

When u said when the first sip of coffee hits ur soul, I felt that! I can’t do anything till I have my coffee... love u Jesa❤️

[@christinab5778]

I love your food videos! They are super realistic (I mean that as a serious compliment). Not everyone has time to spend 3 hours on dinner! Keep them coming!

[@cecemestre34]

I would love a video going through what you consider pantry staples you have on hand all the time (and actually use pretty frequently). I like to come up with random dinners after just staring at my pantry/fridge for a while but I'm sure there are good staples I need to try!🙂

[@lizholland823]

I love this! So much realness but I also get good ideas. I have so many new dinner recipes I want to try thank to y'all

[@nicolehelmer2269]

I am LOVING the food style videos! It gives your channel the perfect mix of content 😊

[@tmcintosh04]

Your laugh was everything at the coffee shot!! Girl I was cracking up with you!! Great video!!

[@yourebeautiful412]

I love this type of video! I also love your weeknight meals video and all of your lifestyle content!

[@danaanderson1994]

I’ve been watching your makeup etc... videos for a long time. I love you! I am at least 30 years older than you but you are one of my absolute favorite people to watch! I watched the last one you’re referring to with the 3 recipes. I tried them all and loved them. Can’t wait to try these. Already printed them!!!

[@conniehwang6714]

Green Curry Chicken One package frozen Dyson cubed roasted chicken Two cans of coconut milk One cup of water Half a yellow onion roughly chopped Two sweet potatoes cubed One bag of frozen steamed broccoli One jar of Thai Kitchen green curry paste Sauté onions and chicken in a large soup pot. Set aside. Add both cans of coconut milk and water to the pan. Add sweet potatoes. Cook for ten minutes until potatoes are tender. Add in the entire jar of green curry paste. Steam your broccoli in the microwave during this time. Add all ingredients back into your pot. Simmer 3-5 minutes. Serve over rice. Enjoy!

[@jgheart3018]

You are so easy to watch and listen to, please make more videos like this!

[@MelbournesEast]

I love having a sneak peek into other peoples kitchens. It is a great way to pick up tips!

[@toast.oclock]

I loved this video - really realistic and I appreciate you sharing. My new favourite lunch is a grain salad - I use a pouch of mixed grains (lentils, quinoa, bulgur etc) and add a variety of veggies and some feta. The BBC Good Food recipe for fridge grain salad is great.

[@amyliz5630]

I love any and all videos you put up with food in them😂 but really...it's so refreshing to watch normal healthy people who have a normal healthy relationship with food! Thank you for sharing❤️

[@lgonzalez195]

I love all of you and Tyler’s videos....I am especially enjoying the recipe segments because between kids and work I feel I am in a food and cooking slump so thank you for giving me some awesome ideas!

[@nicci8702]

Love love love these. As a newish mom and ...previously someone that did not enjoy cooking, these videos are so helpful! I'm trying to branch out and make healthier...ish meals for my toddler and husband, so definitely keep em coming!

[@AV-ue6qh]

Please do more of these, it’s so fun and useful to see easy yummy recipes

[@emilywills3626]

I loved this video! Honestly I watch all of your videos regardless of the content, but it's so nice to see what people realistically eat in a day and not some perfected menu (although that can be fun sometimes too!) Your cooking content is honestly what's been inspiring me to cook more during this quarantine, I've tried so many of the recipes you've shared on here and it's seriously upped my cooking game!

[@liqueunique20]

A good lunch idea: Aldi has organic rice packs that stick in the microwave for 1:30, then I just pile on veggies like cherry tomatoes, green onion, red onion, lettuce, hummus, olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, olives, and feta cheese. Of course all of the ingredients are up to you, but it’s been a go to a few times a week for me!

[@igotnotlme]

I love these types of videos! It's great to get some ideas of what other people are actually eating. Keep em coming! 😊

[@Intothesunset89]

I’m loving the amount of content from the Braun family this week 🙌🏾

[@keshvishah1146]

An amazing lunch that I do as a vegetarian is to grill up some halloumi and put it in a wrap with mayonnaise, spicy sauce, iceberg lettuce and some sort of Veggie Finger like thing. Soooo yummy and just satisfying. You could also have it without the wrap as like a salad xx

[@demipeake9455]

Lunch idea!! I make a big serving of pasta salad or tuna salad on Sunday and keep it in the fridge for the week. Super easy and delicious! I use chickpea pasta too so it’s a good source or protein and fiber and i load them up with veggies and lite on the dressing 👍🏼

[@maggiejt11]

I liked the video! I appreciate your humility in asking for feedback about it. You take your job so seriously and I have been loving your content since I found you at the beginning of the year!

[@shavonnemarie6569]

I love normal eating days!! Gives me great ideas, and they’re actually realistic

[@robertamandab7932]

We have been enjoying having a really good chicken salad using leftover rotisserie chicken with celery, apple, walnuts or pecans, pickles and dried cranberries. Mixed with your favorite mayo. This on some really good bread with some hummus and pita chips or carrots and celery. Delish🥀

[@valg2168]

Love this kind of video on your channel.❤️ In the next one make sure to include all of Gigi’s meal! Gives us moms some ideas for our toddlers 😉

[@jessyetorneten1589]

I’ve been eating kodiak cakes almost daily during this quarantine. Sometimes I’ll add chocolate chips to the batter, other times blueberries, or the last time I topped them with peanut butter and slices of banana. My other go to has been mini pizzas where I use a tortilla as my crust, top it with Rao’s homemade marinara sauce, pepperoni, pineapple, whatever shredded cheese or slices of cheese we have and just bake it at 350 for ten minutes unless your like an extra crispy crust like myself then do 12 minutes. Quick easy and delicious!💜

[@marniekilbourne608]

My Dad taught me to add milk to eggs so they are fluffier and less dry. I did hear a chef on Food Network or somewhere say to add heavy whipping cream and that is really good.

[@bonniegeppert3912]

Love these videos! Always need good and quick meal ideas. Soup and salad or 1/2 sandwich is a great and filling lunch or dinner too!

[@shannoncunningham550]

Hi Jessica. I just wanted to tell you that I love all your videos. I don’t miss any of your videos. I have also watched a lot of Tyler’s vlogs. I love the road trip vlogs. I’ve watched them all. Tyler did an amazing job putting them together. Have a great weekend!

[@Jop4214]

Do so many more of these!! Love your lifestyle and cooking content! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@hmwin1]

It’s funny that I feel like an insider because I watch your vlogs, so I know what your diet is like already. Love how you did this.

[@oh.mylanta.]

Love this!! Your down-to-earth personality and ability to laugh at yourself are AMAZING!!

[@goinghaydenwire]

I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of cooking videos but with yours they are so real and honest and casual that I very much enjoy them. I'm happy to see more but it's not imperative ya know?

[@MosStef23]

My trick is you take out the white nasty string like thing & put a splash of water it makes them moist & fluffy! You can also add half & half along with the splash of water

[@stephdane]

I made Tyler’s hummus today. Can confirm, it is delish. We ate it in one sitting so I went back and made double the recipe for the rest of the week! 😋

[@FaithLoveAdventure]

I enjoy these types of videos as well! I like how real you are too.

[@rachelwinberry1271]

I love your food videos! I appreciate the ideas to get out of my same old meals.

[@claudiavictorino13]

Loved, Loved ❤️ this video Jessica!! Please more videos like this one! I don’t know what it is about your videos especially ones like this one & your vlogs they’re my favorite! They calm me sown when I feel upset or stressed! They just brighten ☀️my day! Especially when I see GIGI she’s the best!! Of course your other videos too Jess I ❤️ can you please do more videos of your favorite Amazon products very soon!!

[@askashleybogard4394]

Okay I know you love Aldi. We do for lunch their beer battered fish filets in the air fryer. Steam a few corn tortillas. Do cabbage and a homemade sauce of mayo, dried dill, dill relish and pepper. Then cut up the fish for fish tacos. I love malt vinegar on them. It’s so fast if you have an air fryer. Oh and lemon if you want.

[@hollyanderson4386]

I enjoy when you guys show what you're eating. It helps me get inspired to cook more!

[@jacquelinecampbell3167]

I have loved all of your cooking videos! I’ve been using so many of your recipes because they’re relatively healthy and FAST! And all tasty! And they’re not just the same old same old. They’ve been so helpful for my family and such a hit! Keep ‘em coming! ❤️

[@asheriee]

I love these types of videos. And I'm so excited you mentioned Tyler's hummus recipe. I have been really wanting to make some from scratch as well and was going to search through your videos to find the recipe. This just made it that much easier. Thanks!

Yes, keep these videos coming. I'm always looking for new recipes to try. Love you Jessica! ♥️

[@ameenaola8872]

I love seeing what other people are eating. Sometimes you just need some dinner inspo. 🤷🏽‍♀️Great video as always!

[@lilianamanzo379]

THANK YOU!! For making a regular average person what I eat in a day video . I just want new recipes that aren’t the usual healthy avaxodo toast and fruits

[@Kate-ch2hr]

Can confirm Tyler’s hummus is the best, made it and now I’m OBSESSED!

[@elizabethgreen8787]

I loved this video!! I like that you’re venturing out. If you like filming them, we like watching them! ♥️

[@jaimekranky5117]

I love this type of video and I love that you are yourself! What I eat in a day is one of my favorite videos to watch, but like you said- some videos do not show a typical day.. But I love that you do!!!

[@karentorres1324]

Your honesty is refreshing!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
