Today we are making macaroni and cheese two ways. The first is an OG classic mac that tastes like the nostalgic blue box, but way better. Second, a buffalo chicken mac that blows anything I have ever had out of the water. They are packed with protein and can be utilized both on a cut and a bulk for maximum gains.

Thank you so so much for your fantastic channel! In 6 months I have lost 35 lb, I know it's not a lot, but I have also manage to start recovering from my bulimia/bed, which I suffered with for almost my whole life. Thank you for posting so many wonderful recipes, all your information and highly qualitative videos and content. Not to mention, you seem very entertaining, sweet, kind and caring about all of us and our health. Thank you so much again. I know my comment must be full och grammar and spelling mistakes since my native language is Swedish. I know my comment will likely never reach you, but I just wanted you to know that you are helping a girl from Sweden more than you can imagine. Lots of love ❤

@VoltaDoMar 8 месяцев назад

I made the OG mac and cheese tonight. I can't believe it is possible to make mac and cheese this good with this much protein and good macros. This recipe is amazing, and it's so easy to make too

@williamshears9953 Год назад

Hey man, look into using sodium citrate to make cheese sauce out of any cheese like cotija or feta that normally don't work like that. Modernist pantry has some good videos on this. Really opens up the Mac world and removes the need to add any flour from some recipes.

@Hervinbalfour Год назад

Yeah. I use sodium citrate sometimes. But imo it still doesn't beat the flavor of a butter and flour roux.

@cbgbstew4072 Год назад

💯 and I think sodium citrate is also what is used in the processed cheese slices for this very reason.

@Exercise4CheatMeals Год назад

@VoltaDoMar 8 месяцев назад

I've made this a few times now (using Barilla Protein+ pasta) and it's great. Last time, I tried adding a spoonful of King Arthur's "better Cheddar cheese powder," and somehow it took it to another level. Both the flavor and the texture of the cheese sauce were improved. I can't believe how good it was. That powder adds 70 calories to the whole recipe, with 4g protein. Worth it

@lexwritesthings 2 месяца назад

This is the first of your recipes that I've tried. WOW is it good. Best Mac I've ever made. Thank you!

@stephenburke7921 Год назад

What's nice is the macros are already pretty decent as is for a good quick meal. But anyone can easily bump the protein by using homemade chicken to get the oil/breading lower. Can't wait to try them out.

This looks great and I cant wait to try Only thing I'll say is I find taking the finished mac into a pan and baking/putting under the broiler for a few mins adds some flavor and depth imo Additionally throwing in a handful of real bacon bits (1.5f 3p per serv) or some center cut bacon also adds a lot of flavor

@Goldarlives 5 месяцев назад

I used some Oikos pro yogurt (25g of protein/ 160 calories per serving) and it worked really well! I usually add sour cream to my Mac and cheese as a cheese melting conduit, but swapping in Greek yogurt added so much protein.

@joeldepas9928 Год назад

So I recently found you and the recipes are looking bomb, I am really looking forward to trying some especially the ice creams lol. I have a question though, for a recipe like this, the ingredients in the Velveeta surely can't be high quality and looks super processed. How do you think the quality of ingredients in some foods impacts or matters to personal nutrition as a whole?

@Exercise4CheatMeals Год назад

Hey Joel! Welcome to the channel. In my opinion as long as you are using these recipes in conjunction with high fiber foods/fruits/vegetables as part of a balanced diet, there is nothing wrong with using processed foods. Also, if I am choosing between people still enjoying these meals and staying leaner/normal bodyweight vs people yoyo dieting from super clean foods, falling off, gaining all the weight back, and being obese, I would rather have them eating more processed foods. Being obese causes just about every issue that you can think of that can shorten lifespan so I would rather have someone eat some mac and cheese, be lean, and be happy. Hope that makes sense.

Damn you North Americans and your plentiful fat free cheese options. The best we can get here in Australia is 50% reduced which tastes great but still has too many calories.

Fat free, pre-shredded cheddar was a total disaster call. Everything else was fine thankfully because you used the processed cheese with sodium citrate. And when you said it looked thin and liquidy, it was already on the thicker side lol. Any more set than that you could mortar a brick building.
