Been watching your channel for a while, just made the OG Mac & Cheese and it is legitimately insane. Thank you for taking the time to prioritize taste while keeping the recipes macro friendly!!
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
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 ❤
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.
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
I’m sensing a blow up on this recipe like that blowup I vividly remember of an OG cookie dough 🫣 I’m going to try this one soon! Hope you have a Merry Christmas Nick!
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.
Looks so indulgent 🤤 I don’t even really like Mac & cheese but this reminds me of when I used to kill boxes of Kraft 😆 I like the idea of adding chicken, too. Thanks Nick!
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
I have made your Oreo McFlurry copycat recipe and it's amazing! Out of curiosity, have you made a version of chicken that is similar to Tysons air fried chicken? It'd be amazing to get something similar to that with a bit better macros! Appreciate the awesome videos!
ayyyy been following a few years. just made the cookie dough from one of your recent videos, ended up watching several old ones this week and you mention you went to SIUE. I graduated there about 7ish years ago, small world. keep it up .
Great Mac. Mine *always* looks like soup when I mix in all the cheese ingredients. It takes a long time for it to look like it does in the videos. Am I messing something up?
I just made the Buffalo Mac and cheese, and it's really good. I made it with the chickpea pasta for the added protein. Next time though I'm gonna make it with regular elbows. I need that real pasta bite iykyk.
I’m a little confused on the macros, at the end when you’re comparing the two I see it say 2 servings. So for one servings is it half the calories? Or is it 722 calories per serving
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?
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.
@@Exercise4CheatMeals Thanks so much for your insight and feedback! I am new to working out. I always played sports but never had the gym and healthy all-around life style and so I am excited when I find channels like yours. Keep up the great content. You are my favorite fitness/recipe guy for sure!
Just made it. Was great but I’m not sure I’ll make it again since it was a nightmare to clean the bottom of the pot since the milk had burned a bit. Not sure how you managed to keep it at high heat. I was stirring the entire time too.
Long time listener first time caller. Hot damn this was WOW so good. I did it with shredded chicken instead of a tender. I could only eat half. Super good.
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.
Where do you even get all these things like fat free cheese?? (I'm too volatile to order stuff online and wait 2 weeks to cook the thing I'm ordering food for)
All you need to do is boil some macaroni and then mix in Greek yoghurt and cheese into it. Frying up some onions and garlic and can even add a little of the boiled mac water to stiffen it with the starch but not needed
I made this with my wife a few weeks back and it slapped my mangina hard. Such a quality Mac and cheese that tastes amazing and rivals/better than the store bought
I didn’t have a scale to measure grams yet, so I kind of eye balled it and did it according to taste. It came out pretty good. Tasted great when it was hot, but when it cooled down, almost tasted too cheesy and thick. Maybe too much corn starch?
Remington James is out there stealing recipes and this guy is doing the work himself. He just posted another "chicken pizza crust" that is a years old recipe from Keto Connect without any kind of credit. Thanks for the legit hard work man!
Just tried the OG mac n cheese, not sure where it went wrong but the mac is bathing in liquid, it hasn’t thickened at all even with the corn starch. I follow the recipe to a T. 😢
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. Great work as always with the recipe Nick but the frustration at not being able to source ingredients makes me remember why I rarely watch these videos these days. I still make a variation of your choc/mint protein shake or ice cream though and you'll always be the king when it comes to that. Thanks heaps!
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.
I know it may seem like it, but its really not chaotic. It just seems that way because of the pacing of the video. Video is barely 8 minutes and shows two recipes, each of which take about twice the time of the video itself. Its simply unwrapping and weighing out a few ingredients and stirring.
@@Exercise4CheatMeals haha I meant chaotic in the sense of the ingredients being v. American (velveeta, blue cheese. Buffalo sauce etc). Also not meant as a bad thing! Your presentation and pacing was ace as always
Watch that Tyson chicken they have a lot of issues with bones inside the chicken . I’m one of the consumers that can confirm this . Damn chicken finger cut my mouth , and I almost choked my chicken lmao . Tyson didn’t want to comply or even do anything . I say F TYSON !
You lost me at velveeta. Bro, that shit is like 1 chemical compound from plastic. Between that and all the processed oils you use, these are incredibly not good for your health. They may help you lose weight, and I love the idea, I just wish you would use more healthy options. Like this dish is great without the velveeta if you could find a way to remove it entirely, just using other whole unprocessed cheeses.
I can't get on your link to find out about your help on my weight loss journey. It won't work. Is there a way I can reach you by email . I don't do Instagram only face book or what's app if that works Thanks.
bruh these are the kinds of videos that matter in life! Dead serious imagine if more people cooked like this> Imagine that. People can eat so healthy and tasty that it's almost not fair. SO much weight loss would happen, like myself, from watching these vids if people ate this stuff no joke

Yeah. I use sodium citrate sometimes. But imo it still doesn't beat the flavor of a butter and flour roux.
💯 and I think sodium citrate is also what is used in the processed cheese slices for this very reason.
100%! Love sodium citrate. I just wanted the first video to be made with something that was more readily available and didn't have to order online.
@@Exercise4CheatMeals Great! Always preaching the gospel of sodium citrate haha
Woah that's pretty cool

Looks fire bro.. gonna give this one a go this weekend. Not a huge fan of blue cheese but I'll try tossing it in anyways
Do you like that ninja airfryer/pressurecooker? Ive been looking to get it but don't really know if its worth the high price tag
Cannot find sharp cheddar velveeta cheese anywhere, any recommendations on what to sub in?
this looks tremendous, can’t wait to try it. do you know the macros of the whole dish? if not I’ll add them up as I make it, just curious :)

Great Mac.
Mine *always* looks like soup when I mix in all the cheese ingredients. It takes a long time for it to look like it does in the videos.
Am I messing something up?
You are the man! I'd say the best macro-oriented channel overall
Thanks Kevin!
@@Exercise4CheatMeals Every recipe is a banger, keep it up man
I just made the Buffalo Mac and cheese, and it's really good. I made it with the chickpea pasta for the added protein. Next time though I'm gonna make it with regular elbows. I need that real pasta bite iykyk.
Hey Nick, it would be great if you added a diabetic recipe playlist.
Cool Nick. Can't wait to made....
Is the second one supposed to be so stringy? Do I need more corn starch? Or less corn starch?
Awwwwwwwwesome sauce! 🧑🍳🧀
S/n: update the noodle amount to the OG recipes so ppl don’t get confused. Looking forward to trying.😋
Thank you Diva! Updated.
I’m a little confused on the macros, at the end when you’re comparing the two I see it say 2 servings. So for one servings is it half the calories? Or is it 722 calories per serving
How much longer until the recipe book comes out?

Bro i can’t wait to try this 😂
Absolute ⛽
If you use bone broth, you will add even more protein. Approximately 9g per cup used!
Long time listener first time caller. Hot damn this was WOW so good. I did it with shredded chicken instead of a tender. I could only eat half. Super good.
You could also try adding nonfat Greek yogurt from Costco! Excellent video!
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.
I'm going to try this cauliflower

I had the plug
hey man, I found fat free shredded Cheddar at Walmart and I got some Barilla Protein+ penne, and I'm going to make this! Can't wait
All you need to do is boil some macaroni and then mix in Greek yoghurt and cheese into it. Frying up some onions and garlic and can even add a little of the boiled mac water to stiffen it with the starch but not needed

Evaporated milk is another good way to make a quick mac!
Yessir! It was just a hundred+ more calories so I wanted to make it work with regular milk
How many servings does this make?
I do this but with bone broth
If you have a smoker and put this on the smoker after it’s done cooking, your tastebuds will Thankyou for it

Fat free cheese is so hard to find. None of the stores near me had it. I went to a Walmart and only found a single mozzarella.
Costco has some really good chicken nuggets by the brand Just Bare. I think those would be dope in this recipe
Sounds great! I am Sams Club member so I havent seen these before. Thanks for the tip

Looks great! How large is a serving size?
Thanks Charles! The whole dish is about 2 lbs. So 1 lb of mac and cheese, more or less.
Sodium Citrate lets you choose a better cheese option than Velveeta cheese slices.
Cottage cheese works real good aswell to make a cheese sauce
Nice
