  • 00:00:00
    over the past year I lost over 30 lb of
  • 00:00:02
    fat and got six pack abs for the first
  • 00:00:05
    time in my life and today I want to
  • 00:00:08
    break down everything I ate that made
  • 00:00:10
    fat loss feel kind of easy and to prove
  • 00:00:13
    that eating to lose weight doesn't mean
  • 00:00:15
    eating boring bland food I've invited a
  • 00:00:18
    Michelin recommended Chef to taste test
  • 00:00:20
    my meals and give his honest review
  • 00:00:23
    please Reveal Your
  • 00:00:27
    score no way dude really that is
  • 00:00:30
    so good so I designed this meal plan to
  • 00:00:32
    Total just under 2,000 calories with
  • 00:00:35
    over 140 g of protein with each meal and
  • 00:00:38
    snack being able to be made in under 20
  • 00:00:40
    minutes or meal prepped once and
  • 00:00:43
    portioned out for the rest of the week
  • 00:00:44
    so getting started my number one option
  • 00:00:47
    for breakfast is the breakfast burrito
  • 00:00:49
    to start fry up three slices of Black
  • 00:00:52
    Forest ham in your pan I like to cook
  • 00:00:54
    these for 3 minutes on each side until
  • 00:00:57
    they are lightly browned and while
  • 00:00:59
    that's cooking I chop a handful of
  • 00:01:01
    spinach and six cherry tomatoes then I
  • 00:01:03
    whisk together four eggs in a
  • 00:01:06
    bowl in that same pan that I cooked my
  • 00:01:08
    ham in we are going to cook our spinach
  • 00:01:10
    for about 15 to 30 seconds and then add
  • 00:01:13
    in our whisked eggs to scramble I like
  • 00:01:16
    mine a bit on the softer side but if you
  • 00:01:18
    prefer your eggs dry well that's between
  • 00:01:21
    you and God add your ham scramble and
  • 00:01:25
    cherry tomatoes on top and finally
  • 00:01:27
    finish with some Valentina hot sauce
  • 00:01:29
    There you go no you've got a breakfast
  • 00:01:30
    burrito that contains 450 calories and
  • 00:01:33
    42 g of protein and on top of it it
  • 00:01:36
    tastes great at least that's what I
  • 00:01:39
    think to be the ultimate judge I've
  • 00:01:41
    invited Raph the head chef at a Michelin
  • 00:01:44
    recommended restaurant here in Vancouver
  • 00:01:46
    so while I think these meals are great I
  • 00:01:48
    am a bit nervous to see how they rank
  • 00:01:51
    with a world class Chef this is what I
  • 00:01:54
    ate pretty much every day for breakfast
  • 00:01:56
    this is like my version of a breakfast
  • 00:01:57
    burrito all right should we taste it
  • 00:02:00
    let's hit it yeah I'm
  • 00:02:02
    nerv the tension in me right now is
  • 00:02:05
    [Music]
  • 00:02:08
    crazy
  • 00:02:11
    mhm mhm that's very good really yeah wow
  • 00:02:15
    yeah there's all types of flavors
  • 00:02:16
    Happening Here me personally maybe a
  • 00:02:18
    little too much spice for morning meal
  • 00:02:21
    if you were to rate this from 1 to 10 on
  • 00:02:25
    a scale of how good this breakfast
  • 00:02:27
    burrito was what would you give this
  • 00:02:37
    oh dude that's nice that's good wow I
  • 00:02:41
    would eat this starting off with a solid
  • 00:02:43
    review on my breakfast it is time to
  • 00:02:45
    move on to lunch and my favorite meal
  • 00:02:48
    prep has been this chicken tortilla soup
  • 00:02:51
    because not only is it super easy to
  • 00:02:54
    make an absolute bat of this stuff but
  • 00:02:57
    one serving will have just 3 25 calories
  • 00:03:01
    with 35 g of protein start with a large
  • 00:03:04
    cooking pot and we're going to Brown
  • 00:03:06
    four chicken breasts I've just seasoned
  • 00:03:08
    these with salt and pepper but after one
  • 00:03:10
    side is browned I will flip and add one
  • 00:03:12
    large onion chopped and let that cook
  • 00:03:15
    for 3 to 5 more minutes let him cook
  • 00:03:17
    after that add five cloves of chopped
  • 00:03:19
    garlic in one diced jalapeno I removed
  • 00:03:22
    the seeds of my jalapeno because I am
  • 00:03:24
    fragile but leave them in if you want a
  • 00:03:27
    little bit more spice then we are adding
  • 00:03:29
    1 tbsp of paprika cumin and garlic
  • 00:03:32
    powder and then salt and pepper to taste
  • 00:03:34
    while all of those flavors are getting
  • 00:03:36
    to know each other I add in one carton
  • 00:03:38
    of chicken stock and one large can of
  • 00:03:40
    crushed tomatoes stir and let that
  • 00:03:42
    simmer for 15 minutes
  • 00:03:44
    let once your 15 minutes is up we are
  • 00:03:47
    going to remove our chicken and shred it
  • 00:03:50
    down to mediumsized chunks add into the
  • 00:03:53
    pot a can of strained and rinsed black
  • 00:03:55
    beans some corn and finally we'll re add
  • 00:03:57
    our shredded chicken back into the pot
  • 00:04:00
    mix everything together and we are ready
  • 00:04:02
    to go I like to top mine with some plain
  • 00:04:04
    Greek yogurt and cilantro but you could
  • 00:04:06
    also do avocado or tortilla chips let's
  • 00:04:09
    see how this one
  • 00:04:17
    goes the silence is killing me man it's
  • 00:04:20
    killing me you
  • 00:04:29
    [Music]
  • 00:04:38
    D it's delicious
  • 00:04:40
    really
  • 00:04:41
    hey really you're not just saying that
  • 00:04:44
    you're not just being
  • 00:04:46
    nice wherever you found this recipe from
  • 00:04:49
    is it's well written it's well balanced
  • 00:04:53
    um the spices come
  • 00:04:55
    through I personally like it because
  • 00:04:58
    there's a good amount of chicken I've
  • 00:04:59
    had this kind of soup before and it's
  • 00:05:02
    always like small shredded bits of
  • 00:05:05
    chicken and I'm always looking for more
  • 00:05:06
    mhm personally just another pinch of
  • 00:05:09
    salt um maybe a little tortilla chips in
  • 00:05:11
    there have fun with it
  • 00:05:12
    [Music]
  • 00:05:14
    yeah hey going up wow going up now as
  • 00:05:19
    important as coming up with healthy
  • 00:05:20
    meals for breakfast lunch and dinner is
  • 00:05:23
    one of the key reasons I wasn't losing
  • 00:05:25
    weight when I first started out was
  • 00:05:27
    because of my snacks and when I started
  • 00:05:30
    tracking my calories I realized I was
  • 00:05:32
    eating around 600 extra calories in an
  • 00:05:35
    evening just from snacks so having just
  • 00:05:39
    a couple filling low calorie snack
  • 00:05:41
    options to fill in the gaps throughout
  • 00:05:43
    the day was a literal GameChanger for my
  • 00:05:46
    progress on the scale and by far my
  • 00:05:48
    favorite midday snack was easily this
  • 00:05:50
    blueberry protein Oat Bar to make this
  • 00:05:53
    we're going to preheat our oven to 375
  • 00:05:55
    and spray a large casserole dish with
  • 00:05:58
    cooking spray then in a large bowl we're
  • 00:06:00
    going to mix together six cups of
  • 00:06:02
    old-fashioned rolled oats with 1 and 1/2
  • 00:06:05
    cups of vanilla protein powder
  • 00:06:06
    personally I'm using the transparent
  • 00:06:08
    Labs French vanilla flavor then add 6
  • 00:06:11
    cups of unsweetened almond milk six eggs
  • 00:06:13
    half a cup of stevia or maple syrup 3
  • 00:06:16
    tbsp vanilla 3 tbsp of melted coconut
  • 00:06:19
    oil and 1 teaspoon of salt then add 1
  • 00:06:22
    and 1/2 cups of blueberries and sprinkle
  • 00:06:24
    cinnamon on there for extra flavor once
  • 00:06:26
    all of that is mixed together carefully
  • 00:06:28
    pour the mixture into our prepared
  • 00:06:30
    casserole dish and then top with
  • 00:06:32
    additional blueberries bake this for 35
  • 00:06:35
    to 40 minutes or until the center is set
  • 00:06:37
    remove from the oven and let cool for a
  • 00:06:39
    few minutes and you're ready to
  • 00:06:42
    [Music]
  • 00:06:44
    serve can feel that there's a lot of
  • 00:06:46
    protein in this yeah that's very dense
  • 00:06:49
    and I would probably struggle to finish
  • 00:06:51
    this yeah so if I have any feedback I'll
  • 00:06:54
    probably just make it more of a shallow
  • 00:06:55
    mixture so then you're kind of eating
  • 00:06:57
    more of like a 1 in bar yeah rather than
  • 00:07:00
    a granola cake yeah an absolute
  • 00:07:06
    unit four in hindsight maybe you're
  • 00:07:09
    better off dividing it between two
  • 00:07:11
    casserole dishes if you'd like a thinner
  • 00:07:13
    less dense Oat Bar but I like it so do
  • 00:07:17
    with that what you will I'm hoping that
  • 00:07:18
    I have Sav for the best for last I've
  • 00:07:20
    got like a onew Punch coming up with
  • 00:07:22
    dinner and dessert so this is my swing
  • 00:07:25
    for the for the fences here for dinner
  • 00:07:28
    I'm trying to enjoy some something that
  • 00:07:29
    feels a little fancier that both me and
  • 00:07:32
    my wife will enjoy and for that my go-to
  • 00:07:35
    has been this chicken pesto pasta that's
  • 00:07:37
    not only filling but you can adjust the
  • 00:07:40
    noodles to easily make this higher
  • 00:07:42
    protein or lower calorie depending on
  • 00:07:44
    what you need to make our green sauce
  • 00:07:46
    we're going to add two cloves of garlic
  • 00:07:48
    and 1/4 cup of olive oil to a small
  • 00:07:50
    Skillet and place over medium heat now
  • 00:07:53
    please don't freak out about the olive
  • 00:07:55
    oil because this will make about five
  • 00:07:57
    servings and everything else in sauce is
  • 00:08:00
    going to be low calorie that I promise
  • 00:08:02
    it will balance out sautΓ© your garlic
  • 00:08:04
    until it is lightly browned and then
  • 00:08:06
    remove it from the heat from there we
  • 00:08:08
    are going to add 1 lound of roughly
  • 00:08:10
    chopped kale to a large pot of boiling
  • 00:08:12
    water to cook for just 1 minute just to
  • 00:08:15
    let that soften then we transfer the
  • 00:08:17
    kale into a bowl of cold water to cool
  • 00:08:20
    before adding it into a blender along
  • 00:08:22
    with 1 cup of Basil our garlic olive oil
  • 00:08:25
    1 and 1/2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice half
  • 00:08:27
    a cup of grated Parmesan cheese finish
  • 00:08:30
    with some salt and pepper and red pepper
  • 00:08:31
    flakes and then blend the sauce until
  • 00:08:33
    you have a nice smooth texture from
  • 00:08:35
    there add your choice of pasta to our
  • 00:08:37
    boiling water and cook until your
  • 00:08:39
    noodles have a slight bit of firmness
  • 00:08:42
    and be sure to set aside half a cup of
  • 00:08:44
    pasta water once it's finished in a
  • 00:08:46
    separate pan cook two chicken breasts
  • 00:08:48
    until the exterior is browned and the
  • 00:08:50
    interior is cooked fully through I've
  • 00:08:52
    seasoned mine with just salt and pepper
  • 00:08:54
    once your noodles are done mix your
  • 00:08:56
    green sauce in until you reach your
  • 00:08:57
    desired consistency and and top with
  • 00:09:00
    your diced chicken and a little extra
  • 00:09:01
    parmesan cheese but for dessert we're
  • 00:09:04
    going with a cinnamon espresso protein
  • 00:09:06
    ice cream made in my ninja creamy to
  • 00:09:09
    make this I'm adding 1 cup of almond
  • 00:09:11
