What I Eat to Grow In the Off-Season - Full Day of Eating

[@elviswest7972]

Congratulations on the award Wesley. Breakfast is my favorite meal as well. I eat 70 grams of oats with isolate, 35 grams of blueberries and 15 grams of almonds with Ceylon Cinnamon. Definitely an excellent porridge!! Thank you for the meal ideas.

[@VintageGenetics]

Thanks Elvis. Breakfast sounds good! Also good choice on the Ceylon cinnamon.

[@rovaz]

Congrats for your thesis Wesley! It's really motivating that you can be both a pro bodybuilder and succesfull in the academic world at the same time. 💪📚

[@VintageGenetics]

Thank you!

[@BROOKLYNPOETZ]

So proud of you Wes, I remember in the early days of this channel, it was only a handful of us subscribers. Look how far you have come, truly inspirational, we appreciate your humble, honest and informative content. It is a pleasure to be able to follow your journey towards further success. Great video and keep up the outstanding work!

[@chriskeck3689]

Never seen one of your videos before. I am stingy with my "likes". Yet...... you totally get one, and I'll be checking out your future (and past) videos. Thanks for informing us as to how you're doing what you do!

[@aleksmoran.]

Your love and enthusiasm for nutrition is very relatable, I’m obsessed with nutrition this is why I love watching your videos cause I speak the same language! And by language I mean I get when you break down the nutrition in each food and why you eat it. Keep up the great content Wesley 👌🏽

[@VintageGenetics]

That's awesome Alejandro. I love it and it's my passion too.

[@paksallion]

i agree with alot but not with weighing meat before cooking. water is lost through the cooking process and we're not calculating water.

[@elthorro5413]

40gramsofProtein the nutrients include the water found in them thars why. So you can calculate precisely, afterwards the weight has dropped because water is lost, and if you calculate according to the nutrients after, you will not have a precise result

[@paksallion]

@@elthorro5413 nutrients in water? How so how so?

[@elthorro5413]

@@paksallion im not saying there are nutrients in water. The people calculating the actual nutrients in the package count everything, even if its water. They have to as its part of the "box" or whatever with meat in it.

[@elthorro5413]

or they do not count it as PART of the nutrients only a PART of whats inside

[@paksallion]

@@asdfasdfg7395 i dont have nutrient info on my packaging unfortunately. But the point im making is that for eg. when a chicken breast is cooked by grill or oven the nutrient info is fairly similar. You can cook dark meat or white meat down to half its size depending on how youd cook it so if chicken breast is 200g raw and i cooked it perfectly, its cooked weight would 150g (eg) but if i cooked the same piece down to 100g there would be less protein content. 100g of cooked chicken breast will ALWAYS be around 30-31g of protein and 150g of cooked chicken breast will ALWAYS be around 45-46g of protein. Protein varies depending on how much its cooked and thats why i weight post cooking.

[@dirtyflow1825]

[@beerdemus2812]

I live in germany, which has basically the same climate as the netherlands, and i have a kiwi bush in my garden. It grows very easily and i can harvest more kiwis every year than i can eat in a year myself. It doesn't need any ministration besides watering it from time to time if it hasn't rained for like a week and it doesn't need a lot of space since it grows up on walls. Recommend.

[@boostedhub]

Wesley's one of the few bodybuilders who put so much attention on nutrition making perfect meals with the perfect macro and micro nutrient balance. Most of BB just slap some meat and some white rice and call it a day....

[@modernproblemmodernchannel7530]

Wesley please do stiff-leg deadlifts or NORDIC curls in every leg workout. It's a WEIGHTED STRETCH EXERCISE. We need to do atleast one contraction based & stretch based movement. PULL-UPS & BENCH PRESS are stretch based for back & chest. Just like that we need to do one for legs also for maximum growth.

[@redtrek2153]

Also the hamstrings serve two primary purposes--knee flexion and hip extension. Curls address one, stiff-leg deadlift addresses the other.

[@vadirajkvaju4105]

Wesley I have noticed that in Arnold Classics while transitioning from on pose to another you tend to rotate your arms infront of the body rather than opening up the arms & rotating fully. Do you have should stiffness of maybe any discomfort in the shoulders doing that?

[@Bibestrong]

Can’t wait to start that prep together man. So excited 💪

[@surendra9202]

Wesley stays relatively lean in his off season also. Most of the bb today become bloated like a water buffalo.

[@dleigh9997]

Yea and that's the reason he doesn't put size on too.

[@ryangrindey943]

@@dleigh9997 that's why he decided to take a year off of competition. He clearly doesn't like the dirty bulking approach which takes less time to build alot of muscle but also more time & effort to diet down.

[@mithicash1444]

You hit a point about sodium that many people don't know about. You can eat a SHIT TON of salt, but as long as you are doing enough activities for your body to get rid of it(sweating), you will be just fine. It is only a problem when you eat too much salt and retain it in your body. Another thing that people don't know. When you go to a sauna you don't just sweat water... You get rid of water, salt, and other toxins that your body does not need. There are 2 ways your body get s rid of stuff it doesn't need, by going to the restroom and by sweating. About the oatmeal, I love making a protein shake with the Whey and very low-calorie almond milk and add the shake to the other stuff. It just eliminates any lumps that adding the powder can make.

dude ofc.... for example you wanna eat a 100gr chicken breast to get 20gr protein, then how the fuck you know how much it will be after cooking or baking? :D you wanna eat a 100gr chicken then measure out a 100gr raw chicken then cook it and it doesn't matter how much it weight after cooking... I tell you one more tricky thing, if you wanna eat a 100gr rice to get 70gr carbs then you cook a ton of rice and then you measure out 200gr rice, because you cook it in 2 times more water :D

Gezien je studie vraag ik me af waarom je niet onderzocht hebt wat het bestralen van voedsel met 2,4 gigahertz doet. Leg maar eens 2 druiven met de lontjes tegen elkaar in de magnetron. Een druif is ongeveer 2.4 cm dat de draaggolf opvangt in de druif. Ze vliegen letterlijk in de fik. Tevens als je water in de magnetron kookt en weer laat afkoelen en dat vervolgens gebruikt om bijvoorbeeld een plant te laten groeien gaat deze dood. Jik bestaat ook uit water he. Over water gesproken al verdiept over de voordelen van het drinken van gedestilleerd water? Ik denk dat deze dingen je proces naar perfectie zullen ondersteunen. 🖖
