I like Dr. Mike more with every video. He is a bit like...Rippetoe...without the dogma (that everything can be solved with getting your squat up to XXX), without the negative obsession against vegans and with a nicer general attitude.
@@jackedmac i love both of them but mike came across like an ass in that debate. Greg was much more polite and open minded. Hopefully they can squash their beef
@@nowaynowaynottoday Greg was polite on the day because he’d already been a prick beforehand. It was easy for him to be nice on the podcast afterwards, especially when he got absolutely rinsed. I do agree that Mike would ideally have risen above it as he occupies a different niche to the likes of Doucette, but I guess he’s only human.
"Well I hope you leave enough room for my fist! (-sized portion) cause I'm going to ram it into your stomach!" -me, forcing myself to eat enough protein several times a day following Dr. Mike's advice.
These two videos I have just watched back to back, it felt like they went by really fast. That shows me how interesting the content and the delivery by Dr. Mike were. Looking forward for the next video, keep them coming!
Removing whole grains, bread, wheat & dairy and keeping my carbs to rices and potatoes have severely deceased stomach bloating and kept energy up for multiple training sessions per day.
You mentioned lean tofu as a lean source of protein for vegans. May I suggest that legumes are a better choice. Excepting peanuts and soy, they are very low fat, low in calorie density, and a good source of fiber. When combined with grains the protein quality is a good as meat. Beans and rice, split pea soup and whole wheat bread, lentils and quinoa, and bean burritos are several example combinations.
I love this series, I'm blessed with my preferences (if my wallet could afford it ALL my meals would be lean meats, steak, chicken breast, salmon especially with vegetables and berries as dessert, carbs/fats/other fruit as needed, got sources I like, none I love like the former three.) So I don't need it but perfect in depth detail stops me from overthinking what I do. It's dumb, but it happens when I'm struggling. Current struggle is financially (in a dumb way) and to eat enough (not even trying to bulk, just keep the scale even, 66kg maintain goal, I was 63kg this morning :'( )
Hey there! If you want some low-cost meal ideas, I think you should consider traditional mexican cuisine, as they use beans in an amazing variety of ways and, when you can afford it, you can mix meat in easily. I'm personnally not overflowing right now, but I think mixed beans are super to use! A full can will provide you with about 30g of protein, 50 to 60g of carbs and some healthier fats. And if you want protein-rich snacks, grilled chickpeas make for amazing and cost-efficient chips replacement! And to continue a tad with beans, I personnally believe chili is one of the most useful, cost-effective and easy to make meal prep out there, and if you blend it a little for smoothness, can be used in very creative ways! (As a salsa, on hot dogs, with rice if a little chunky). I wish you the best and that you find the balance you need :)
@@Tortue-et-Fitness I use beans a lot but I don't love them. They're just great utility like filler-carbs. I'm finding more of a balance already, I just got overwhelmed between my body seemingly either going on 1600-1800kcal and just not heating up and stuff to taking in more food and it just seems to burn through it all and still stay steady / gain little? Financially I'm luckily not struggling but I'm frugal to a fault. It has harmed my health before however nowadays I don't let it get that farm. It's in a decent balance now (just gotta adjust to this, what feels like insane, intake now) where I'll eat healthy but only occasionally spoil myself with 'special' meals. With my upped intake it's just even more cheap meals vs special ones. A worthy price for what my body is capable off atm and surely once winter hits I'll chill a little.
I see literally no reason to eat nuts or regular peanut butter on a high carb muscle building diet. The only popular nut that doesn't have a terrible omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is macademia nuts. They are high in calories, very little carbs, protein and micronutrients, almonds (whole, raw) can even leave you worse off in terms of mineral absorption and balance. If you love peanut butter, go with PB2 (coach greg's favorite) which is very low in fat. Your fat macros should be allocated to actually nutritious foods, like fatty fish, egg yolks, dairy, caviar (fish roe).
I can eat 100g of lean protein(thats 100g of protein not meat) and a tone of vegetables and I don't feel full. I only feel full if I eat bland vegetables that I don't like like raw kale.
For protein and carbs is it necessary to have some sort of lean protein and carbs or just having let's say a good amount of lentils which will provide carbs and protein can replace it?
Who is this excessively polite, profanity-free version of doctor Mike, and what the f@*k did he do with the original one?! 🤔 #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers 😁
The problem I always want to solve is "how do I eat lunch like I want if I'm out of the house?". Maybe someone else has a trick, but prepared lunches have a food spoilage problem for meats and vegetables. Quicker-type restaurants, food courts, and food trucks only offer meals that heavily rely on bread/rice/etc. You can get cooked vegetables, but as a diminutive portion compared to the main part. And normally there is a lot of frying going on for both the meat and vegetables, which I'm trying to avoid.
When I’m in these situations I usually just pick a meal that is 1 protein and 1 carb and, if available, a crap ton of veggies. My go to is usually some chicken shawarma with rice and veggies. It may be higher in fat than usual because of how it’s prepared but I usually just adjust my other meals in the day to compensate.
@@dosboot1 What? I've eaten chicken, broccoli and rice meals that I cooked 4/5 days prior with no issues. I always refrigerate my meal prep within 30 minutes of cooking the food. The only time I had a problem was when I ate chicken I cooked 7 days prior and I got mildly sick from it.
@@PendlayRoe Yeah, that's perfectly fine. I even do the same. But I'm talking about meals that are eaten away from home. I could take a precooked+refrigerated meal with me when I leave the house in the morning, but I would have to eat it within a couple hours before it starts going bad outside the fridge.
i'm starting this process today. I have a question though. I've been starting my day with a smoothie i make myself. it has skim milk, 1 banana, fresh spinach 1 serving of natural peanut butter (just nuts/little salt), frozen berries and rolled oats. Now is blending these things at home ruining the fiber and therefore not so healthy?...also do you think the rolled oats in the smoothie overkill and use the oats elsewhere? I was just trying to add some extra healthy fiber, but now i'm not so sure.
Hey Mike, I cannot see well with this font size, please can you make it bigger so that me or others with the same problem don't have to be 6 inches away from screen all the time? Thanks for the great work
Natural honey is still calorie-loaded. Some argue it's more nutritious, but I think it really boils down to how much you use or would use. If you'd need waaaaay less honey than you'd use in refined sugar for your meals, well, it might be useful in your situation
Great video, but I'm tired of listening to all the talk about healthy fats or not. It's BS! I've been around the block more than a few times and I know for sure that if you always eat lean protein sources you are missing out. Big time! Both regarding flavour and health. Too much of anything is bad for us. We all know this. But all the talk about animal fat beeing bad for you and avocado fat beeing good for you is hogwash. It's like saying tubers are good for you and red meat is bad for you. It's not like that. For example, do you know that the Cassava root can cause cognitive damage to you eaten raw, or that cashew nuts are deadly eaten raw because of the concentration of linamarin that turns into cyanide. After having incorporated fatty pieces of meat into my diet and fatty milk again I feel much more satisfied. It's way easier to stick to your guns if you have food that tastes great, and fat makes food taste great. Now, you may do whatever you want with this information, but I can tell you this, the idea that animal fat is bad for you is probabaly nonsense. I have changed my mind since listening to Shawn Baker. At first I thought he was crazy, and I'm not going carnivore, no way, but the guy is putting out quality information, and I've come to realize that after having changed my diet and incorporating fatty milk and fatty pieces of meat in my diet I feel much better. In summary: Don't be afraid to eat fatty pieces of meat, but don't overconsume on it either. The important thing is staying close to energy balance and eating a balanced diet just like Mike suggests. Thx Mike for all your great content!
", the idea that animal fat is bad for you is probabaly nonsense" Ahhh yes great scientific evidence there very compelling. This is about long term health effects not short term.
