Losing weight by tracking my calories, my steps, and exercise. Also been using your recipes and suggestions from your newsletter. Much appreciated. Doing so to help avoid knee replacement surgery. Started at 172 pounds and after 4-5 months am at 158. Thanks for your videos and your newsletter.
@@natasha2222227 That's the whole recipe, per serving will depend on how many you cut it up into so you can just divide the whole recipe macros by six or however many you cut.
I'm actually gaining right now, but, the process is the same. I track everything. I don't cut any one thing out of my diet. I prefer a nice balance of everything including a little bit of junk from time to time. Great video man.
Definitely going to make these. Never really on a diet, just always consciously trying to include lots of protein when possible and make better choices overall.
Good looking recipe, I might actually give this a try sometime next week. Can you freeze the bars once they're made? If not, how how long do they last once made?
Currently cutting, keeping calories at 1750-1800 on average. High carb days for legs will bump it up to 1900 max, but seeing results and also usikg your protien bownie recipe and loving it!
After tracking for the last several months, taking a break and just tying to get in protein at every meal and not miss any workouts. I think it’s time for a mental break from tracking for a little bit.
This guy is awesome. It’s nearly impossible to find “energy” bars with good ingredients. Always way too much salt and sugar in store bar brands which keep it tasty, and cheap. I don’t eat added sugar so, this recipe is great. This weekend my wife and I are doing a 20 mile day hike, so these bars may be accompanying us! I see a trend with the protein powder. I normally do not buy as I try to get my calories from food. But I see how this is great for baking and treats, and at $1-$2 a scoop, a tub will last me a long time Thanks protein chef
Will definitely try these! I've actually been trying to concoct my own on the go protein snack. Some winners, some not so much. I just made my first batch of a protein version of rice crispy treat using Catalina crunch cereal. But I am peanut butter lover and will try these out with more of a pb touch. Also, I'm not dieting as much as I used to but still keep an eye on macros, I'm down about 80 lbs from this time last year.
Dave I am doing the same, care to share your recipes w me? I been trying to do my own keto protein bars w high-protein count and none of the fat. Adding fiber and stevia as well as other secret ingredients.
These look delicious.Dealing with 110 weather daily here in AZ so anything that's in and out the kitchen is the move. Currently on a cut. counting calories while making a effort to hit a protein range of 160-180 per a day.
Intermittent fasting and using my fitness app to log all foods. Keeping high protein low fat / sugar. Once a month 60 hour fast while maintaining a workout. 50 years old and wanting another 50…😂 keep them protein vids coming. Trying most of your recipes and love them. Respect
I should track my calories, but I just don’t want to metal stress of it for several weeks. So I’ve been intermittent fasting and adjusting my meals accordingly
Dieting and working out. Down from 235 pounds to 195 currently in about 8 months. Still have about 10 more pounds to go to hit my goal. Thanks for the recipe. Looks yummy.
Iam just trying total body recomposition. Of course not for this summer, maybe the next or the over next. But even after few months i can first small results and its motivate me to do more and more. And your recipes are easy to follow and tasty. Thnx Protein Chef
I’m trying Keto to lose weight and reduce blood glucose. The hard part is I have a damaged jaw. There are a lot of things I can’t chew. I can eat a hamburger but I don’t have the chewing surface to eat things that are really thin and flat like lettuce (unless I chop them very fine). Anything that requires a lot of chewing like bacon is out. I’ve already given up bread because I struggle to chew it. Bottom line I would love for you to come up with a few keto recipes for those of us with chewing issues on a soft or semi soft diet. Something to think about for a future video. Thank you for all the terrific information.
Intermittent fasting for the last year. Complex carbs, nuts, peppers, proteins and greens. Cold brew/mct, multivitamin with omegas, Tumeric/Bioperine, L-Theanine, L-Tyrosine, L-Carnitine and citicholine/aGPC for brain health. Diets feel like fads these days. Everyone has that one trick to lose bodyweight and build muscle fast. There's no secret diet. It consistently doing what you know is good for you. And that's hard sometimes. Recipes like this make it easier. Thank you!
I've been counting calories to make sure I get enough. I started training jiu jitsu these past few months. The calories burned every hour is between 400-700 (depends on the intensity and what we're drilling) and I normally do 2 or 3 hours a day. Because I'm still eating high volume, low cal recipes, it's a bit of a challenge to get enough food in, so I have to space my meals out throughout the day more than when I was just lifting
I have all these ingredients and have been wanting to find a recipe to use them in. This vid was right on time. I'm really trying to make all of my food rather then buying all the garage in the stores. Thanks!
Thanks man, great video! Could you please do one of these for Type I diabetics? I eat protein bars every day and these look 10000% better than the ones I buy at the store, DEFINITELY going to thrown down on some homemade Protein Bars, awesome!
i’m just tracking macros (protein, fat, carbs) and of course calories. i’m on a weightlifting plan and trying to maintain. always looking for higher protein meals, snacks, drinks as i’m vegetarian. this looks great! gonna give it a go
I track what I eat and get plenty of protein and fat because I'm prepping for upcoming surgery. Weightlifting and a killer diet are going to make my recovery that much better. 🙌 🙌
Yoo Protein Chef! I'm just a couple weeks after my knee surgery - torn ACL and ruptured meniscus. I'm a powerlifter, i was lil fat 125kg's guy. Now i'm tracking calories nad going for a sick cut, to look great at the beach and to relieve my knee a bit. Now I'm 99 kg's and thinking about cutting even more to start in some bodybuilding competition.
That protein bar looks great - will try. Not on a regulated diet, but trying to eat healthier and make better choices - started 1/4/24 & now 2/7/24 went from 176 to 169 lbs maybe lose 1-3 more but try to maintain/build more muscle - not bad for 71 yrs 🤙🏻
This recipe looks very good! Long-time silent viewer here. In response to your posed question: I’ve been working on eating better; increasing fruit/ veg, dietary fiber, and plant proteins. I can’t wait to try this recipe with Ambrosia Collective’s Planta-branded Banana Maple French Toast protein powder! Thanks for the continued, quality content!
Thank you for sharing, Could you possibly include more information on the macros per bar, how many bars you could make, and cost since I am looking to saving money on purchasing bars by making myself. Thanks
These look really good. Sticky recipes are always annoying, never heard of freezing it first. I like using PB2, do you have the measurement for subbing that?
I do a 2:1 ratio of PB2 If a recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, mix 4 tablespoons of PB2 with however much water is listed on the PB2 tub.
Its been a while since I used it, so i had to go lookup some old recipes for subbing it in. PB2 when reconstituted halves in the volume of the powder since the air gets removed. Quote from the website shape "How to Use Powdered Peanut Butter - and Why You Should Try It" "First things first, if you want it to be smearable like your fave spread, you must reconstitute it with water. Typically, the ratio is 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter to 1 tablespoon of water, which yields 1 tablespoon of nut butter. For a larger serving, just double it to 4 tablespoons of powder and 2 tablespoons of water." Hope that explains it. @@cb5528
Id like to share my shake smoothie recipe. The Big one 5 big fresh frozen strawberrys One frozen banana 2/3 cup greek yogart -17g 2 scoops of gold standard whey - 48g 1 1/2 low fat milk -12 Blend in blender until smooth. Add ice for a more colder drink like icecream. Total protein = 77g A perfect meal replacer or add to your daily protien intake. A very good drink for after workout and or recovery drink for bedtime. 😎👍 enjoy.
ty 4 sharing, made some for fam, yam! i didnt have pinna butter ...or pr powder, so i just added lots of walnut and oat and topped it with some butter/chocolate! it has melted on top, will put it in refrig, fingers crossed it will hold up! regardless, yam (i tried some of the oven)!
Just watching my calories and keeping protein up. I'm doing a new workout routine right now too. Split into upper body/lower body days. less isolation and definitely sweating more with the workout.
How long do these last/safe to eat once you take them out of the refrigerator, and stick one in your backpack, a few hours, all day? I'm guessing yogurt is the limiting factor, so If it is a short duration, deleting the yogurt would probably increase the travel life? Thank you
I’ve been counting calories and eating in a deficit. Also been trying to eat foods that are high volume, high protein and low calories to keep hunger in check
I recently found one of your videos from 9 years ago and here I am lol, a new subscriber! I recently started counting my calories to lose weight. I have such a sweet tooth and your videos help me tremendously 🔥
The best way to control sweet cravings is to not eat sugary things. Yes it’s hard, esp at first, but having a treat just encourages the next and so on. Gotta break that craving train.
Thanks for the awesome recipes! Ive been eating the microwaveable protein cheesecake for breakfast this week with some Icelandic yogurt, hemp hearts, chia seeds and raspberries 💪 When I’m bulking I aim for 200g of protein a day, cutting is slightly less but still high, and I work out the carbs and fats based on that. 3500 calories a day as a goal, 3000 when cutting. 3 weeks bulk, 1-2 weeks cut, always strength train, rinse and repeat
Tracking Calories and carbs in intervals. I'm going five days of 1500 Calories and two days of 2600 Calories for six weeks before swapping to 2200 calories maintenance for two weeks. My first cycle, I was able to loss ~25 pounds, and I've maintained my weight going into the second week. Going to start my burning diet again next week. Was 340lbs, now 315lbs and maintaining, goal is 200lbs.
Any ideas for no perishable alternatives to the yogurt and Dates? I want to make these but I want them to have a very long shelf life so I can make a huge batch at the beginning of every month
Trying to decide if this is better for me than the peanut butter clif bar. Your bar is 285 calories, 19.5 gr of protein 22.6 gr of carbs 11 gr of fat. Crunchy peanut butter clif bar is: 260 calories 11 gr of protein 40 gr of carbs 8 gr of fat I buy mine in bulk and I pay about $1.76 CAD per bar.
Don’t need a saker (got plenty lol) but I will say following a bunch of these recipes has been the key to loosing 100 plus’s pounds with gaining muscle instead of loosing it
I've noticed he commonly refers to 1/2 a container of yogurt but doesn't specify the gram/oz/mL measurement. Can anyone clarify this for me? I LOVE his recipes and want to make sure I try new ones correctly! Thanks 🙂
I don't have a food processor, will a ninja blender work just as well? And I'm not really " Dieting," but I am trying to eat healthier, not eating as much "junk food" and high sugar foods. With this winter and me being lazy, I've packed on a few lbs.(and not the good kind), so I'm trying to turn it around and get fit again! 💪
Been trying to track but I can’t get Into the groove. I’ve been lifting pretty consistently since last October and jogging 4 times a week. It makes me hungry and I end up craving ice cream and giving in. I’ve gained weight even tho I work out a lot and lift heavy 😖
Great job! I'm educating myself on nutrition right now and dieting getting ready for a Natural bodybuilding show 💪 Was tracking my macros but now that I'm strict and getting more and more educated from great teachers like YOU, I'm able to stay lean without tracking at the moment but am starting to again as I'm getting closer to show time! Thank you so much for your time and knowledge 🙏
I'd say you could use sunflower butter if it's the same consistency but triple check the ingredients just to make sure, I'm not speaking from experience, just a thought!
Would these proteins bars be good for someone who is tryna lose weight and also eat low sugar foods? Also, how long is the bar good for after being made?
