What I Eat In a Week - Vegetarian Marathoner

[@stevenrobinson8080]

really cool to see the honesty for the whole weeks worth. usually i find the vids on daily/ weekly food intake see to be very unrealistic.

[@kofuzi]

they may be realistic, but it's hard to tell for sure. on the other hand, most people don't want to watch a 30 minute video. i suppose there are ways i could tighten this up to make it more succinct

[@ChrisLewisjusChris]

dude ..actually love this video ... it's about as genuine as I've seen from someone and that's pretty dope. there's no insane dieting tips or tricks here, just an average set of meals that are super affordable. especially like the fact that you weren't wasting left-overs (eating the kids apple cores, etc), dopeness man.

[@williamlunn-pigula7029]

This is by far the best "what i eat..." Video I've watched today.

[@kofuzi]

I’m glad to have captured the title for the say

[@getjcn]

lol something very calming about watching this through to the end. those 30 minutes of food pics went by super fast. I guess your videos feel more like hanging out with a good friend... Thanks so much for continuing to make these Mike!

[@kofuzi]

That’s the greatest compliment I can receive. Thanks so much!

[@EnvyTraxus]

lol these food videos are fun to watch because of how different your meals/snacks are compared to most videos. Yours is closer to mine

[@kofuzi]

just another way in which i am nonelite

[@thatguygreg]

Kofuzi, really enjoyed your interview with Floris on the Extramilest podcast. One of my main goals in life right now is to get on that podcast but I've got a lot of work to do before I get there! Really like this video. Here in Spain we've been in lockdown for 30 days now and we're a little less than half way through it. One of the very few positives from all this is that my wife and I haven't been out to eat since this all began. We've eaten every single meal at home, no take out either. We both feel better for it. At home our diet is really good, lots of veggies and good fresh foods. But the weekend we usually eat out a lot and when I travel it's not always easy to eat well. Being at home has given us much better control of what we're eating lately. Something to keep in mind when the lockdown ends.

[@kofuzi]

i did remark the other day to my wife about how good i've been feeling after dinner. usually, i'm quite lethargic and moody.

[@mlegrand]

Oh, I didn't even know you were vegetarian. Glad you are holding up well during all of this. 👍

[@calghan]

Mike, kudos for keeping up the workouts! And yes, insatiable appetites during quarantine.

[@kofuzi]

i think i'm not drinking enough water and also am feeling a low level persistent worry/stress

[@cebukid70]

Hey Ko, I watched/listened to this entire video whilst doing the dishes...lol. Kudos on the Kim Chi! I love that stuff and all Korean food in general. This quarantine has definitely changed our family's eating habits as well. We used to order out at least 1-2 times during the week and go out to dinner 1-2 times on the weekend...... all that has stopped and I'm definitely cooking more than ever! The frozen veggies work out great as well for stir fry....I made that the other night.

[@kofuzi]

I used to think that we didn’t eat out all that much, but the change has made me realize just how much prepared and processed foods we were and are eating

[@Willisthatgoproyguy]

It looked like Magic Johnson was admiring your workout by slow-mo'ing "Damn!"

[@kofuzi]

Hahaha! He was impressed by me, it appears

[@bboy6surme]

its good we not talking about a day ,instead a week ,well done! who else is watching the rest of his pics??

[@jmmccrary]

Love the iKea kids plates. I use those for almost all of my meals.

[@kofuzi]

i wish they made them a bit larger to suit my appetite

[@karatechop]

Love that you dig 88 Acres! It's my wife's friend's company here in Massachusetts. The mocha bar is my favorite.

[@Prof.RClaro]

Truly interesting. Even a week is not enough to capture intra-individual variability in diet, but it can give a pretty good general impression. Hope you are doing great. Keep it up with these excellent videos!!!

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching!

[@alexanderlatham2090]

Not only am I now craving kimchi and eggs, I can’t even tell you how many times I had to pause the video because I was laughing too hard! Especially with the barbecue chips and the empty plates! Hope to go on one of your race group runs one day when things get back to normal

[@kofuzi]

i'm glad you enjoyed it! i hope to see you at a run club soon!

[@andytidd3585]

Thanks, I love these food journals from you! makes me want to do my own.

[@kofuzi]

You should! it's an eye opening experience

[@jmmccrary]

I was like 2 minutes in and thinking this isn't normal Kofuzi production value. But kept watching and of course an explanation was provided! Great video as always.

[@kofuzi]

yeah, sorry about the focus. by the end, i remembered why i gave up on this shooting location years ago

[@JulianHerzog]

@@kofuzi For this kind of static setup, wouldn't manual focus work decently well?

[@kofuzi]

It would, but this particular lens doesn’t have a switch, so I’d have to reach around the camera to get to manual, and then there’s the difficulty of manual focusing on oneself when one isn’t in front of the camera. And then I’d have to sit relatively still, which I can’t do

[@JulianHerzog]

@@kofuzi Ok, yeah I see that that's not ideal. Does your camera allow you to set a specific focus point which you could select to be on your face, instead of using a full area AF mode that gets lost quite easily?

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

Your video made me hungry too. That Madras sauce looks like a Trader Joe product though I couldn’t tell for sure as it went by....? Not only do we share a fondness for hot sauce (and BBQ sauce) on just about anything, but I gather you also love the Chinese dim sum classic sauce combo of soy sauce, hot sauce, vinegar (rice wine or black) and a dash of sesame oil. Makes almost anything taste great.

[@kofuzi]

The curry sauce is in our international aisle at the grocery store, but is similar to ones I’ve seen at TJ. Those sauces are pretty much how I cook any meat, if I ever do cook meat.

[@anthonykuchera6743]

I really enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing!

[@kofuzi]

Thanks for watching!

[@evanjohnmo]

Awesome job. I may need to record my diet for a week like that. Looks like you are more of a lacto-ovo vegetarian. The chocolate chips have milk, and the egg is there. I've been full vegan for about seven months now, and I tapered down into it from being pescatarian vegetarian, and also eating cheese. Full vegan is really tricky. I discovered that gummy bears which are my favorite candy have gelatin which is derived from animals, and also the soup broth powder I was using was derived from animal products too. I didn't even think about it at the time for some reason. I was able to get vegan versions of these though. Even honey is not considered vegan because it's a product derived from insects. There are these little tricky things that you pick up on when full vegan, and it's almost like a diet that you have to practice doing, just like practicing running. That seems to be part of the fun though.

[@kofuzi]

sugar is not vegan either, but this isn't and wasn't a video about veganism. technically, i'm a social omnivore. if i'm a dinner guest at someone's house or i'm at a restaurant where someone is sharing their cultural heritage, i'll eat whatever is provided or suggested.

[@evanjohnmo]

kofuzi yes, bone char is used to make refined sugar white so it's really not vegan. Many brands make vegan sugar though. And get this, corn syrup is vegan friendly, so the question becomes whether any specific diet is completely proper. I get it, it's hard to resist the brisket that a guest brings to a potluck dinner. My most difficult thing has been cheese pizza. BTW, i hope it didn't seem like i was implying this video was about vegan diet.

[@x1cmb11]

What hat is that you’re wearing? I saw another comment that said something about a Ciele, but I didn’t see anything on the website that looks similar. Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome content! You inspired my wife and I to start running and we’ve been going strong for 5 weeks. Always enjoy seeing what you have to say.

[@kofuzi]

i'm afraid i received it as a gift, so i don't have any info on the product

[@leejoycechung2162]

Wow...great video on a week of eating. I should track my meals and see how they compare. LOL. thanks kofuzi

[@stephencsaplar6382]

Love the nail varnish 😉

[@kofuzi]

it bring out my eyes

[@stephencsaplar6382]

kofuzi 👍😂

[@jmbaug1229]

Kimchi is very nice also Kimchi soup with Tofu in winter is delicious 😋 ❤ from London J.

[@rockyw7442]

I need to know if the Paw Patrol balloons ever showed up? My wife and my 6 year old daughter asked me today about it lol

[@kofuzi]

i'll update in today's IG livestream

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

Saw the Adidas Boston 9 whiz by....did you order a pair?

[@kofuzi]

I did. You have a good eye.

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

Aha! Bazinga. Looking forward to your impression.

[@cjcruz7965]

Some more cool ranch Doritos, just as the good lord intended 😂😂😂.

[@whiskeyandbikes]

Forgot to mention, love you videos bruh

[@kofuzi]

Thanks!

[@macau.friend]

Thank goodness the world invented Shinamian! Seems like it really saved the day during quarantine, haha

[@kofuzi]

it's tasty

[@jayolarsch]

Those almost look like Hydrox cookies. Fun fact, hydrox came out I think 2 yrs before oreos. Hydrox I believe are peanut free, they are nut and sesame free.

[@bleuify7]

you need to add more green leafy veggies :D

[@NellyMin-e6d]

Love it 😍

[@NoxiousNoodles]

For easy sessions on the bike you probably want to lower the resistance and up the cadence to about 90. 70 is more what you'd do for a strength endurance sort of session - like a leg workout on the bike. The higher cadence will normally result in an increase in HR for the same power output, but it will take less out of your legs.

[@kofuzi]

i'll give that a try. but then my heart rate lowers to around the 110s. i know "easy" on a bike is a bit different than "easy" on a run, but 110s seems too low

[@atharvaugale6379]

[@arennedavidramos5469]

24:21 best part

[@chu88y1]

No HUMMUS? The can of Madras Curry--is it ready to go where you just add misc. veg?

[@kofuzi]

Yes. Like a jar of marinara or alfredo sauce. I usually add on top of a bed of rice, cous cous, or lentils and roasted veggies. If I’ve sautéed the veggies (or meat works too), I’ll add the sauce to the sauté pan

[@jykim312]

Did you eat Lamen Korean? haha im Korean newbie youtuber just started my channel! Love your videos!! My husband and I always watch together. Just 56 subs on me but Cheers to you and me!!

[@kofuzi]

That’s great! Good luck with the channel! The first hundred subscribers was so tough to reach

[@leonaleewong]

Props to your wife for all the goodies!!

[@kofuzi]

she stocked up on a lot of these to make sure we supported allergy friendly food producers

[@leonaleewong]

And all that baking she does! Looks super yummy!!

[@ksteege]

good job with this - looks like we have a similar way to deal with left overs - wife and kids dont love eatingthem so I scavenge whats there fairly often. Thanks

[@kofuzi]

my wife discourages the practice generally, as she believes it spreads germs. these days, she is even more against it

[@ksteege]

@@kofuzi The practice of left overs? hmm not sure how that spreads germs I guess if it was on their plate, but the way I look at it is with kids if they have it you are getting whatever they have anyway... (speaking from experience) LOL

[@joey.chavez333]

Definitely gonna pay attn to this!

[@kofuzi]

i would say that it's not necessarily something to emulate.

[@ericsisk1]

You made me hungry bro 🤪 Also, laughed out loud, “Cool Ranch Doritos, just as the Good Lord intended.” 😂

[@kofuzi]

My favorite snack food

[@scheez6590]

Whens the infinity react review coming out?

[@EnvyTraxus]

tagging myself too because I was wondering. He made the #114 video in which he showed us the shoes but no actual videos on them.

[@ndk4]

Are you working from home? I read that its over 600 k cases in us

[@kofuzi]

Kind of. My work is pretty much shut down.

[@janpoelstra5823]

Man this made me hungry!

[@kofuzi]

That’s how I feel every time I see a picture of pizza on the internet

[@DadIsntMad]

Ahhhh shin ramen. This man knows his ramen 🍜

[@kofuzi]

if you know, then you know

[@Thirtychairs]

@@kofuzi ever tried it with sliced cheese?

[@brightcab8]

Nice Ciele hat mike!

[@kofuzi]

It was a gift. I really enjoy it!

[@whisperthebull6707]

Vegetarianism is depressing to me, but whatever works for you!

[@Run_Farah_Run]

Yay vegetarian ☺️ I’m vegetarian most of of the time with my diet as well. The hardest part for me is that I have to mind gluten due to my thyroid but being veg, it can be very hard 😬 thank goodness for rice 😂

[@smarteranna24]

Main question - favorite light beer?

[@kofuzi]

Miller lite. The coors light is a nod to my father in law. That’s what he gets, and we haven’t been able to see them in a while.

[@cg8175]

😂 I like the empty plates!

[@kofuzi]

Camera doesn’t always eat first

[@SheldonGrunwald]

Need you wife’s oatmeal cookie recipe

[@brianforan2721]

Thought that was excellent. Almost identical to my own diet. 😂

[@kofuzi]

I imagine it’s similar to a lot of people’s, although mine perhaps had a lot more candy

[@brianforan2721]

I’m probably not that far off in the Candy department either 😅

[@barbaraglover4451]

sound real nice and delicious

[@kofuzi]

It’s not bad

[@tri0xin]

Interesting! I'm kinda the opposite.. low carb, lots of veggies/meats/peanut butter, cool to see how others eat.

[@kofuzi]

I would prefer if I were eating more veggies. But I’m feeling pretty good on what we’re doing now. I do feel better on this week than what I usually might eat during a normal work week (even though this week did feature a lot more beer than normal)

[@nikoskarb9270]

Do you eat any fruits ?

[@kofuzi]

apple core is a fruit dried fruit is a fruit clementine is a fruit tomato is a fruit zucchini is a fruit

[@joshlarocque4141]

your cadence goal on the bike should be 80-90 rpm

[@tednruth453]

Why?

[@kofuzi]

i worry that that's either too difficult or not difficult enough

[@tednruth453]

This could be the start of a very long discussion 😃 Alternatively, don't worry about it, just do what feels natural, you'll be fine Kofuzi 👌

[@CoreySenderson]

damn you eat a lot of snacks

[@kofuzi]

Yup

[@IRunThings]

I so wanted you to do a wieiad video. Watching now!

[@kofuzi]

Thanks for watching!

[@mdny7788]

You eat a lot of processed candy bars!!

[@kofuzi]

You should see me when I’m at the office

[@steevie76]

Are you close like me to cutting your own hair? Would make for good content 🤣

[@donaldbeck5602]

You're right, you can't fake a week. I wanted you to know that I also eat apple cores, or the entire apple to the stem👍cool.

[@kofuzi]

i've heard of people doing that. and while i know the amounts in the seed aren't dangerous unless you ate like a bushel of apples in one sitting, i can't help but think about the fact that cyanide is derived from apple seeds.

[@donaldbeck5602]

@@kofuzi Yeah, I should probably stop doing that.

[@zevrobins905]

ketchup on a hot dog? i know you're from jersey so it's cool and all, but that is considered blasphemy in chi-town. good thing you wear a mask, lol.

[@kofuzi]

i think the crucial fact that is easy for people to overlook is that the dogs themselves are not fungible. the flavor profile of a Sabrett's is very different than the flavor profile of a Vienna Beef. I believe it was a Vienna Beef executive who said in an interview that the Vienna Beef have recipes that clash (perhaps intentionally) with the flavor profile of ketchup. i think that there is a potential historical legacy to this that relates to refrigeration (or a lack thereof). many classic midwest burger spots, for example, only offered mustard and onions as a topping when they started in the days before widespread refrigeration. the flavors that developed during this time would be ones that complemented then existing potential toppings. another factor to consider is the peculiar insecure pride that Chicago carries as The Second City. If New York has the thin slice, Chicago will have the deep dish. If New York loves ketchup on a hot dog, Chicago will take a weird ideological abhorrence against it. (frankly, that's why the only food I consider a true Chicago food is the Italian beef - it's a food that Chicagoans like because they like it and not because it's different than how somewhere else does it). all that being said, this was a veggie dog. i don't think any condiment rules apply .

[@runtothetopelise]

Seems like you barely eat vegetables lol

[@kofuzi]

i suppose zucchini is technically a fruit
