I have been working out for over 2 years and never knew this information! Life saver!
Thanks, Mr Gigachad Gordan Ramsey.
1lb of 80/20 ground beef and 1lb of ground chicken for about 7 bucks a day from Aldi, throw some whole wheat flour into the meat at the end of it cooking to soak up some of the juices and retain all the calories and a few extra carbs and fiber. Then about 4oz of frozen fruit and 4oz of frozen berries for desert. Probably all less than 10 bucks per day. About 110g fat, 160g protein, and at least 100g carbs, and a decent base to add on too.
Canned Fish is where it's at for quick on the go protein meal/snack
Focus on small fishes like sardines and anchovies. Don't go ape shite with big fishes like tuna if you don't want to become a tank full of mercury.
Love how knowledgeable you are. Thanks for debunking common myths
Flash frozen veg is better than most fresh. Local is over-rated; transportation isn't energy intensive -- fertilizer is.
Worth noting foods high on satiety index are also typically cheap
Bedankt voor alle waardevolle informatie! Ik bless je channel en dat je maar vaak viral mag gaan.
I always wondered if frozen veggies retained their nutrients
Good video.
My $0.02 - going a little bit in on leaner protein still worth it. 90% lean beef, but don’t have to go to 96%. 2% milk. 2% Fage is the nectar of the gods. Chicken thighs are fine, not just breast. Ground Turkey. Make sure enough room for nuts (various), avocado and olive to be a good chunk of the fat in your diet. Obviously don’t lose fat from salmon or tuna or trout or cod etc, you want the full fat profile there.
What are your favorite protein/fat sources? I know some are higher in saturated fat and maybe not the healthiest option
Question for everyone. I understand the advice regarding organic food vs nonorganic and their trivial nutritional differences, but what does the research say about the larger amounts of preservatives and chemicals in non organic food. How does that affect our bodies’ ability to maximize the nutritional content of the food we eat?
Thanks brother
Thanks Menno
You guys are funny asf
There is one more important tip: eat the skin/peels of plants that you typically would otherwise throw out, such as orange peels, banana peels, kiwi skin, watermelon rind, avocado skin, etc., as they have a lot of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that help reduce inflammation and improving overall health
Catch me dead eating an orange peel, banana peel, or avocado skin. That’s for the compost! (but also if you have recipes or ways to make them more tolerable feel free to share)
I agree, but they also have a ton more pesticides than most other fruits because they don’t expect us to eat them. Skins of these foods are one of the few foods that might be worth to buy organic.
I personally eat orange peel because of the much higher amount of hesparadin, tangeratin, niranganin (I probably butchered the spelling) which when I was researching them appeared to have decent synergistic anti-cancer effects (not human studies)
I eat kiwi peel because I’m too lazy to peel them 😅
I eat mango peel because it appeared to have some good potential health benefits. However, it has the same compound as poison ivy/oak so I don’t eat much of that.
@@FlemetAeton Maybe, but pesticide residue on peels can just be easily washed off as almost all pesticides are water-soluble, so buying organic is still a waste of money imo.
@@thatoneuser8600 But then you need to also get that human-made wax coating off to reach the pesticides. Wax is hydrophobic and would protect the pesticides.
Kiwi skin is hairy and gross, I imagine that would be like eating a rat without skinning it
How do I even find organic foods when we've cultivated veggies and grown cattle for centuries to be better tasting, more productive and more resistive against spoiling and environment?
I prefer buying the meats with -30% stickers that are about to spoil and freezing them over buying frozen foods. Why? Because many frozen food products are just shitty and somehow processed versions of the ones you would buy otherwise and legit not that cheap. Similar thing with canned foods (we don't have a freezer box full of just cut raw meats in the stores). Like tuna is at the point where it's tough to justify having canned tuna for more than a backup in the cupboard in case there's a reason you can't go buy food, so expensive. But delicious though.
My personal number one tip is buy the rawest forms of food, for example a full fish, and prepare it yourself. Furthermore use all of it like making a stock on top of fillets and fish soup and feed the rest to dog and so on, fully utilize what you get for your money. Also bake your own breads from sourdough to pita, it's not very complicated. Pitas are like idk 15 minutes of waiting after mixing the ingredients and baking for five minutes. And make your own sauces like creamy garlic, ranch, oily sauces. And pickle stuff or ferment it, it's good and the fermented ones have supposedly good effect on gut health. Pickled red onion on top of salad or bread or lactofermented cucumber on bread are fantastic ways to brighten up your dishes without that many calories but a lot of taste. And lastly even syrups if you need or use them for sometjing. It's not more than sugar, water and spices. And you might have a ton of fun making all of it as well.
Lekker bezig Menno
Saturated animal fat is not a healthy source of fat, especially when looking at health risk factors. It may be more economical, but it is not good for cardiovascular health.
Why local foods? Are bananas still a good carbs source then?
Try this smoothie: banana, almond-butter, greek yogurt, flax seed.
I eat it every morning.
Yes
Local because less transportation cost compared to foods made elsewhere = cheaper
Pasta, rosterie chciken and red sauce. Cheap and delicious!
You can soak produce in baking soda water to remove most of the pesticides, so no need to buy organic
Best advice: Save money in other aspects of your life! Prio 1 should be food quality not budget...
You can do both. The cost of food does not equal the quality.
You just dropped “buy local” in there with no rationale. Why?
Because Buying Local Helps Keep The Farmer In, And The Conglomerate OUT.
Depending on the country / location, local farmers sell for less to cut out the middleman wholesalers. Local items can be higher quality if the items are allowed to be ripped on the tree or vine. Example tomatoes. The store has to pick green, ripen on the truck
Watch the sodium on canned goods.
Is the freezing affecting the vitamins?
He says it in the short that it has no significant impact on nutritional content.
Frozen has more nutritional value since the freezing occurs closer to harvesting and the food spends less time losing the value during transport and in the store, so more nutrients are preserved.
Dietetics masters student here - overall frozen produce is excellent. Water soluble vitamins like C and B can leach out during blanching (they blanch frozen produce to avoid bacterial growth in the freezer) but all in all you aren't missing a ton of nutrients. Ideally you'd do a mix of frozen and fresh produce. Also if the frozen produce has been frozen for months and months on end, some nutrients can slowly degrade, but go by the "use by" dates and you should be fine :)
@@Sabrina-qf5xf thank you for your answer Sabrina!
Frozen veggies are known to be as good fresh ones, but canned veggies? Those have zero vitamins, no?
but what to eat in protein + fat
beef…73/27 is so cheap
If you're referring to his point about getting fats from your protein sources? I assume he means fattier cuts of meat i.e. chicken thighs, Ribeyes, 80-90% lean ground beef, salmon etc compared to the usual chicken breast, 95% lean ground beef, white fish maybe
7. Dont buy produce at the supermarket
On a budget, really?
@@the_notorious_bas produce store is way cheaper. Supermarkets only keep the freshest, usually unripe fruit out but throws it out as soon as they are almost ripe. The prices reflect that.
@@spontaneousbootay with 'produce store' you mean a local farmer's store? That's hardly available to most of us, unless you're living in the jungle.
@@the_notorious_bas lots of produce stores in the city. Small shops that sell produce and usually other convenience store stuff
@@the_notorious_baslol you shouldn’t go to the supermarket if your on a budget, you’re getting scammed hardcore brother.
1: most people get enough protein, this is more an issue for elderly
2: this is a good idea when it comes to fatty fish, soy, or other high protein foods with a good unsaturated fat to saturated fat ratio however when it comes to fatty meat this isn't a good idea because it contains too much saturated fat which raises apoB and therefore your risk of atherosclerosis
3: i would definitely also add whole grains to that considering how good the health outcome data is for whole grains
4: makes no difference
5: yeah organic is pretty much useful, also haven't seen any convincing data for them being even a bit healthier
6: also true, nothing really to add
