You have no idea what a difference you have made with just this single video. I use to make everything from scratch; sauces, bread, everything. I felt like anything else was “cheating.” Then life happened and that whole panini sent me into a tailspin and my depression swallowed me whole. I could barely get out of bed much less cook everything from scratch. We have been living on takeout since 2020. This video gave me permission to buy a couple steamers off Amazon and it broke the cycle. The first night I made salmon similar to this, instant rice, and frozen veg all in about 20 mins just using the microwave. It’s the first homemade meal in 3 years and I cried. Thank you a million times over.
I’m so happy you’re making progress! I got out of an abusive relationship and fell into addiction…I spent 5 years struggling until I met my partner who doesn’t cook at all and he loves my quick meals as much as my intricate ones…it made me realize I can still cook something good without sacrificing health. Tonight we’re having frozen gnocchi, Alfredo sauce, and I’m adding bacon, spinach and tomatoes. Fed is best ❤

@@bruhkent6895oh god me too I have severe depression, anxiety and autism, but don't have the money to get any kind of treatment so I just yk, live with the consequences Most days I will have a cup of chocolate milk in the morning (i NEED to have it everyday or else I'll get anxious, routine thing since I was like 3), and then the other meals may be a toast, a small plate of pasta I almost never finish, purea and canned tuna, or sometimes, one or two glasses of juice. Usually only one of them, at like 5pm, after starving all day, and then another chocolate milk before going to bed. Sometimes i'll even have a big glass of coffee and milk during my starving hours since I also have very bad insomnia so I'm always tired, which is even worse, if you ever had coffee with an empty stomach you'll know why
@@deemah3602 Exactly. Thank you. Salmon? Really expensive where I live. Asparagus? So expensive I don't usually buy it even in the season (and I am far from being poor). This is not an affordable dish in most places.
@@xannaySalmon is somewhat expensive while Trout is cheaper where I live. Any other fish is more expensive. During Aspargus season it's very cheap but I dislike the taste so I was thinking more of Brokkoli or other veggies.
@@deemah3602Uhm sorry? I live like 400kms away from the sea and can buy good regular salmon in your average supermarket If you live in the country then i guess but in a big city its accesible Also she never said you have to use salmon

You are invaluable to so many people who are physically and mentally ill. People who are struggling. People who just need a little extra advice. I cannot thank you enough for what you do 💜
I love your content. As someone newly disabled it’s been extremely difficult to go from being able to cook amazing and complex meals to barley being able to feed myself most days. I’ve learned a lot from you but more than anything you make me feel ok with my limitations by normalizing easy healthy meals ❤ thank you
"or chronic pain" Ma'am, I just got like 100x more respect for you than I already had. I cannot tell you how unbelievably overwhelming every day tasks are with chronic pain, and we're often seen as lazy except by those who actually understand our diseases since they're not outwardly present when you look at us. We *seem* fine, so we must just be lying and/or lazy. Thank you for acknowledging us. 🙏
Seriously! I have scoliosis and people always call me a baby for needing to sit down and stretch between daily tasks. It feels like I’m carrying a cross on my back at all times but I still get by, I just wish my family would see that sometimes.
@@SocialExperiment232 I know exactly how u feel. I have scoliosis and arthritis and the everyday pain/aching is unbearable at times. People think I exaggerate how I feel bc to them my "pain" isn't visible so it's not that bad. I went from living life to just existing in life bc I can't stand or sit longer than 20 mins at a time so I'm home all day everyday. It really sucks but I've learned to live with it.
@@SocialExperiment232 It is okay, even loving, to clearly tell those people how you feel. If they don't believe you, if they lack the ability to empathize, then it's okay to place boundaries for your interactions with them. When they can't add to your pain with their emotional ignorance, it might help you. I'm so sorry. I know boundaries are painful to put up, but when I started seeing boundaries as a way to still love that person without allowing them to hurt me anymore, I got better at it. Hugs, Internet stranger.
i used to be embarrassed about my “safe meal” (chronically ill w/celiac) since it’s all cooked in the microwave but then i realized, who cares! it works n it’s delicious and has carbs, proteins, fats, and especially salt. these videos are a godsend
@@sofiea4742 of course! if i don’t have the energy to make rice on the stove (i don’t have a rice cooker either) i have: -microwaveable rice bowls or bags that are usually 90s -frozen veggie mix; i like the one from walmart with corn, peas, carrots and green beans -bacon bits, only the real stuff -the other protein is one of 3 options: 1.) a frozen pork sausage 2.) chicken in a can 3.) spam this all takes maybe 5-10 minutes and i season it with salt and pepper, sometimes i add olive oil and maybe some garlic and onion if i can stomach it on better days. hope this helps!
@@krushkannonI just wanna comment and say I do the exact same thing, but sometimes when I feel like changing it up, I do the tuna packets that are like $2 or cut up hotdogs!!! So cool to see other ppl have the same comfy meal like me 😢❤
THANK YOU for normalizing the challenges of cooking for yourself. I’ve also noticed in your videos that you push back against diet culture (e.g., being restrictive and removing things from your diet) in favor of having room for all foods. So refreshing!
When I went to college my parents got me a pasta maker bowl that you can just pop in the microwave with some water and pasta of your choice. Was, and still is, one of my most favorite household items. I've got horrid adhd and the thought of just cooking pasta overwhelms me sometimes, but I love having pasta with veggies or meat. I would absolutely recommend that sort of thing to just about anyone.
This is a great tip thank u! I find cooking dinner very overwhelming as I have serious chronic pain (especially in my feet & hands) and this would make it so much easier
So sorry to hear about your chronic pain! It can make even the simplest of tasks so much more difficult :'( Hoping this helps make food prep a little easier!!
I feel you. I steam most of my veg in the microwave. The air fryer also changed my life. Do what you need to. Don’t feel shamed. Fed is best ❤ take care of yourself and let your body rest when you can.
@@digitalharmony26 thank u and I hope u feel better. Airfryers are the best!!! Life is such a struggle for me I’d be happy with a frozen dinner on the off days I actually have an appetite
thank you for this!!!!!! soo much stigma around such a silly kitchen appliance like a microwave! when really we should just be happy ppl are trying to be healthy & feed themselves 👏💕✨
@ElysV135 Maybe the plastic isn't the best but the point is microwaves are incredibly useful and not inherently bad - I reheat my cooked meals in it all the time in a regular ceramic bowl
@@ElysV135 Just be picky about which plastics can go in the microwave, because most can’t. If it’s not explicitly made to be microwaved, it’s probably best to not microwave that plastic, don’t you agree?
@@ragnkja Even if the plastics is labeled as safe for microwaves, that doesn't mean it's not leaking hormone disruptors to your food (which you then eat). Safe for microwave means it won't melt. I would avoid eating anything that was heated in plastic or that was put warm into something plastic.
@@user_gov I am talking specifically about plastics, not glass or ceramic. I would really recommend to do some research on what some chemicals which are leaking from plastics to our food are doing to human body, hormones and reproductive system.
I picked up one of the microwave steamers after the last video you did with one and it’s been a game changer! I haven’t been bold enough to try fish on it, but I’ll have to give it a go soon! Thank you for the tips, they’re incredibly helpful ❤
Yay!! So glad you've been enjoying it! It can feel weird to cook raw fish in the microwave (I was hesitant at first too), but it truly makes life so much easier!!
Seriously want to cry right now. I'm easily overwhelmed with recipes and feel super ashamed about that since it hinders my ability to try different things. This is the first recipe where I feel like it's super doable, especially in the microwave! Thank you for this. I'm going to find that tray and try this recipe. Thank you!!
Been living with ADHD my whole life and it’s nice to watch someone who understands how some days it can be tough to have the motivation to do something as seemingly simple as cooking a meal. Love your shorts :)
Grateful that you mentioned reasons why making food can be difficult. I have severe epilepsy and rheumatism -and currently a burnout on top. I've cried SO hard having to drag myself into the kitchen when I had to fix food. This is great! ❤
The best thing to do is know you’re cooking time and cook smaller amount of the protein for one serving or you can cook a bunch of serving on a tray in the mini oven convection oven and heating stuff like plastic stuff in the microwave
@IVvOOvVI thank you! ♡ Right now I'm all about mealprep and "grab-and-goes" (items I can literally grab and eat, and have decent enough food/or even a full meal), for when all I can do is sit and be a vegetable myself (:
I absolutely love your channel. As a person in ED recovery, your entire vibe and mentality is helping me tremendously in seeing food as a fun, helpful hobby to have, instead of a fear
Although I love to cook, as a person w ADHD I'm SO glad I follow your channel. You've saved me with lots of meals in the past two weeks bc I was struggling to prepare food to eat.
Your tips (especially to add rather than subtract food from meals) have made a huge difference to how I think about eating, as well as factoring in l challenges like chronic illness or exec dysfunction rather than beating ourselves up about why we can’t just behave like everyone seems to 😊
I love your approach to all of these recipes and tips and tricks you share. I never feel guilty when I don’t have the energy to cook something fancy because I know that’s not always practical. Thank you for sharing these recipes and so much more.
I'm so greatfull to have found your channel. I feel i hit the jackpot! I am chronically ill and so is my child. You have been a lifesaver for us! Much respect ❤
This is so sweet! Thank you so much! I have autism and sometimes I'm too overstimulated to cook, but I still want to take good care of myself. Thank you!
I love that you're showing eating nutritious delicious food can be just as fast as going theough the drive through and doesnt take advanced culinary knowledge or tools. More of these videos please. 😊
I’ve already posted a comment like this on one of these episodes: but I’m tearing up again from hearing you mention executive dysfunction. I hope you know how much means to us other ADHD folk, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and support with us ❤❤❤
That’s good tip, I’ve got ADHD and do the cooking so that’s helpful. Sometimes dinner is leftover rice and microwaved frozen veggies plus something else I can make while that is cooking.
My everyday dinner is steamed veggies and some from of protein. Usually Chicken, salmon or tofu. I get the frozen veggies that come in steam bags. So quick and easy. And healthy
@@morgantaylor5524 I honestly don't know. I do switch up the protein and vegetables so everyday is slightly different. plus I have a stomach disorder so anything that doesn't make me sick im happy with
@@retro.raider I understand. I am overweight and trying to eat healthy can be a hassle but I suppose if I think of food as fuel and not pleasure then I'll be fine😓
@@morgantaylor5524 its definitely not easy. I used to be overweight and ive lost about 40kg over the last few years. for me, it was making small changes. like I would still have snacks but I would choose a healthier option. Add more vegetables and fruit to my meals so I feel up on that and not carbs. when you change your diet, the first few months are the hardest. You will get used to it, and you'll come to really love the healthier foods. also water is a huge part of it. once I really started hydrating my cravings reduced a lot. I dont drink soft drink either. self discipline is self love. you've got this mate
@@retro.raider Thanks so much for the support! You don't know how much it means to me. I hope you have a great night and please, continue to take care of yourself. One day I'll be right there with you
For me, turning on the oven in our 120 year old house in the summer is a no-no. Between old windows and no central AC, the heat and humidity would mean no one would sleep. I love this tip, for the simple fact it doesn’t generate the heat.
I LOVE my microwave. I'm chronically ill, I do big meal prep when I'm having a good day, put the food in the fridge and freezer, and then on bad days I can just microwave it and have a good meal in 3 minutes with no effort. It's also great when doing cooking and not just re-heating, because if I've got something boiling on the stove I've got to watch that. If it's in the microwave, I can go sit down and rest, and if I'm not ready to get up again when the timer goes off there's no worries, it'll be fine, it's stopped cooking.
thank you for being so down to earth about nutrition. not everyone can or even wants to make elaborate and super healthy dishes every day. so thank you for making nutrition accessible ❤
Easy meals are always so so so appreciated! I imagine stay-at-home parents would also REALLY love this recipe, considering how stressful parenting can be!
I just found her channel and instantly subbed! I LOVE how she talks fast and explains while showing us....she doesn't make a 20 second long intro about the video😅🙌🏽 I've struggled with binge eating for years and never stayed consistent with my health journey... but I've started again and will NOT give up🥹👍🏼
OMG thank you so much for showing this!! It's such a versatile recipe that can basically be adapted to any food we have on hand where the formula is: rice(or any carb) + protein + veg + go-to seasoning where everything can be cooked quickly. This video shows how accessible and easy putting together a nutritious and balanced meal can be.
I agree on your last point, stuff does not have to be complicated/fancy to be healthy/nutritious. People's idea of what healthy food is has been warped by marketing and poor journalism imo.
So my mom just sent me the link to your channel, but she had been telling me about you for awhile. I have RFID too. Words can't even describe how much emotion I felt when I found that there was a name for what I had been living with. And the validation and context I needed to start battling it!! Instead of feeling ashamed over being a picky eater and accepting it as a personal failing I couldn't seem to fix, I can go at it with a strategy. I have tried more new foods in the last two years than I did through the entirety of high school. Still a long road a head, but it's not so hard now that I know what I'm doing. My point being, thanks. It's nice to not feel so alone or rare in this and see someone standing on the other side. You are kind of my role model for this whole eating disorder thing, even if I don't follow your content that closely. Just seeing that someone like me beat it is all I need.
This tip has been so helpful! I did this a few times already. I honestly prefer the taste of pan seared salmon because it gets this nice charred flavor. But when I’m low on time or just tired and not into it it’s a great option! I threw a salmon and veggie dinner together in almost no time before rushing out for work!
Thank you God for bringing me to this channel 🙏 I'm 15+ months free from substance abuse & am trying to learn how to live healthy again. I was a fitness instructor once apon a time but due to the drugs, I struggle with executive function, ADHD & what i call option overwhelm which means anxiety. You've simplified 1 area I feel like I'd forgotten, how to eat healthy AND simply. I dont have energy to cook most days, but get weaker from eating junk or nothing. Thank you 🩷 God Bless
God is good! I am glad He is keeping you on this journey of sobriety. It's not easy...in your weakness, His strength is made perfect! I'm sure there have been many days and still are days where it doesn't feel like you have His strength but im glad He continues to encourage you (even by leading you to this video). You are so loved by the Lord and Savior!
As a chronically I’ll young person, I am constantly scolded for spending my money on ordering out instead of cooking. No one seems to understand I can barely even stand for 3 minutes after an 8 hour shift with chronic inflammation. Please make more content about quick healthy eating that is simple. I have to eat but I’m spending so much on eating out.
Could you address the belief we've often heard growing up that microwaves remove nutritional value from food? I'm pretty sure it's not true at this point but it would be great to hear more from you about debunking what I assume is a myth! Thanks for your helpful videos!! 😊
I'm glad that the weird fear of the microwave seems to be abating. I used to view it as lesser than bc I was a thoroughly taight home cook. But man. Microwaves are insanely efficient and useful. Just like frozen veggies
I really enjoy this chic. She has no judgement just practical easy steps that are obtainable. Thank you for your free dietician consultant, normally you would cost me $180 so thank you for being so generous and sharing your knowledge.
You have SAVED my life!!!! thank you for having the courage to post. Just know to this person you have made a difference. Thank you so much I wish you many blessings.
An actual nutritionist saying "its okay to microwave" is so so nice to hear...i dont have a lot of money and i dont have an expensive kitchen. So i can barely make big meals as it is, let alone when depression and adhd hits. So knowing im not some monster health wise for using something in my kitchen is breath of fresh air when online...
@@thecanadiancaribou bruh telling me to think critically when its obvious he doesnt realize food can be precooked before its made to be microwaved or leftovers exists lmao
I mean this as an absolute compliment…it is so refreshing to see someone who’s conventionally attractive and thin giving options for a healthy meal while also not shaming the “unhealthy” version. This is super helpful for so many of us. Thank you for being so genuine.
thank you so much, i am chronically ill due to suffering a stroke at 16 and i find myself using the trusty microwave times when i don’t have the strength to do much else 💕💕💕
I hope Kylie sees this: I have debilitating chronic migraines, and got one of these because I saw this short. I have used it SO MUCH since I got it, and can feed myself well with consistency now. Thank you.
Miss Kylie you are too cute and sweet, I have always been overweight but i have found that dietitians on the internet are literally so comforting and understanding and make me feel so warm ❤❤❤
This is why I love my oven though. 200 °C, 20-30 min you can cook almost anything and that leave you 20 min to rest/do other chores/go to the bathroom/whatever.
I suffer from cyclical depression. When I'm in a depressive episode, it's hard to do anything. I really appreciate how you are so kind coming to it not as someone is "lazy," but that there are a lot of other reasons why making food can be hard. It feels really good to be treated with kindness and for you wanting to help people who struggle. I hope you have a good day :)
I used this method to quickly cook sliced chicken breast and veggies all together and in no time. It saved a lot of time during the exams, when I didn’t have much time and energy to cook in a usual way, but I still wanted and needed to eat.
Your channel has slowly helped me start to actually feed myself in a sustainable way, my executive dysfunction is very very bad around cooking and I simply will not eat for days sometimes. This is genuinely making a huge impact on my health every day, thank you so so much for making this information accessible ❤
"Why not just use the stove?" All the reasons she listed, plus, another completely valid one: "i just dont want to." Not everyone wants to cook. And THAT'S OKAY. THEY STILL DESERVE DELICIOUS NUTRITIOUS MEALS!!!! It's okay to take shortcuts. What matters is you get the right nutrients, and feel good in your body 🧡
I love that you always mention chronically ill. Not everyone can stand, chop veggies etc. Im sure you are helping many people!
god yeah, my chronic illness makes cooking so hard, which is awful because I have so much passion for it

A 5 minute steam in the microwave is also going to heat up your home less than other methods and that is a big help in the summer.
Summer?? I think you meant winter?
@@mamatarout306not really because when it’s summer and the food you cook makes a lot of heat, it can be almost unbearable to stay in the kitchen xd

Kylie, if you published a cook book, I would 100% buy it. Your tips are so good!
I would buy extra copies for the people I know. I live in a retirement community and many are very sick.

"or chronic pain"
Ma'am, I just got like 100x more respect for you than I already had. I cannot tell you how unbelievably overwhelming every day tasks are with chronic pain, and we're often seen as lazy except by those who actually understand our diseases since they're not outwardly present when you look at us. We *seem* fine, so we must just be lying and/or lazy.
Thank you for acknowledging us. 🙏
Seriously! I have scoliosis and people always call me a baby for needing to sit down and stretch between daily tasks. It feels like I’m carrying a cross on my back at all times but I still get by, I just wish my family would see that sometimes.
@@SocialExperiment232 I know exactly how u feel. I have scoliosis and arthritis and the everyday pain/aching is unbearable at times. People think I exaggerate how I feel bc to them my "pain" isn't visible so it's not that bad. I went from living life to just existing in life bc I can't stand or sit longer than 20 mins at a time so I'm home all day everyday. It really sucks but I've learned to live with it.
@@SocialExperiment232 It is okay, even loving, to clearly tell those people how you feel. If they don't believe you, if they lack the ability to empathize, then it's okay to place boundaries for your interactions with them. When they can't add to your pain with their emotional ignorance, it might help you. I'm so sorry. I know boundaries are painful to put up, but when I started seeing boundaries as a way to still love that person without allowing them to hurt me anymore, I got better at it. Hugs, Internet stranger.
Problem is a lot of people never had any hardships so they end up making fun of people
i used to be embarrassed about my “safe meal” (chronically ill w/celiac) since it’s all cooked in the microwave but then i realized, who cares! it works n it’s delicious and has carbs, proteins, fats, and especially salt. these videos are a godsend
...what is your safe meal
Also interested in knowing the meal should u want to share!
@@sofiea4742 of course! if i don’t have the energy to make rice on the stove (i don’t have a rice cooker either) i have:
-microwaveable rice bowls or bags that are usually 90s
-frozen veggie mix; i like the one from walmart with corn, peas, carrots and green beans
-bacon bits, only the real stuff
-the other protein is one of 3 options:
1.) a frozen pork sausage
2.) chicken in a can
3.) spam
this all takes maybe 5-10 minutes and i season it with salt and pepper, sometimes i add olive oil and maybe some garlic and onion if i can stomach it on better days. hope this helps!
@@krushkannonhanks for sharing your process!
@@krushkannonI just wanna comment and say I do the exact same thing, but sometimes when I feel like changing it up, I do the tuna packets that are like $2 or cut up hotdogs!!!
So cool to see other ppl have the same comfy meal like me 😢❤
THANK YOU for normalizing the challenges of cooking for yourself. I’ve also noticed in your videos that you push back against diet culture (e.g., being restrictive and removing things from your diet) in favor of having room for all foods. So refreshing!
When I went to college my parents got me a pasta maker bowl that you can just pop in the microwave with some water and pasta of your choice. Was, and still is, one of my most favorite household items. I've got horrid adhd and the thought of just cooking pasta overwhelms me sometimes, but I love having pasta with veggies or meat. I would absolutely recommend that sort of thing to just about anyone.
genuinely thank you for this comment. i had no idea things like these existed! I'm chronically ill and this will help me so much omg
This is a great tip thank u! I find cooking dinner very overwhelming as I have serious chronic pain (especially in my feet & hands) and this would make it so much easier
So sorry to hear about your chronic pain! It can make even the simplest of tasks so much more difficult :'( Hoping this helps make food prep a little easier!!
@@NutritionByKylie thank u 🥰
I feel you. I steam most of my veg in the microwave. The air fryer also changed my life. Do what you need to. Don’t feel shamed. Fed is best ❤ take care of yourself and let your body rest when you can.
@@digitalharmony26 thank u and I hope u feel better. Airfryers are the best!!! Life is such a struggle for me I’d be happy with a frozen dinner on the off days I actually have an appetite
@@NutritionByKylie Do you think the microwave is the beat mechanism to use?
thank you for this!!!!!! soo much stigma around such a silly kitchen appliance like a microwave! when really we should just be happy ppl are trying to be healthy & feed themselves 👏💕✨
Trying to be healthy by cooking in plastics? Insanity.
@ElysV135 Maybe the plastic isn't the best but the point is microwaves are incredibly useful and not inherently bad - I reheat my cooked meals in it all the time in a regular ceramic bowl
@@ElysV135
Just be picky about which plastics can go in the microwave, because most can’t. If it’s not explicitly made to be microwaved, it’s probably best to not microwave that plastic, don’t you agree?
@@ragnkja Even if the plastics is labeled as safe for microwaves, that doesn't mean it's not leaking hormone disruptors to your food (which you then eat). Safe for microwave means it won't melt. I would avoid eating anything that was heated in plastic or that was put warm into something plastic.
@@user_gov I am talking specifically about plastics, not glass or ceramic. I would really recommend to do some research on what some chemicals which are leaking from plastics to our food are doing to human body, hormones and reproductive system.
I picked up one of the microwave steamers after the last video you did with one and it’s been a game changer! I haven’t been bold enough to try fish on it, but I’ll have to give it a go soon! Thank you for the tips, they’re incredibly helpful ❤
Yay!! So glad you've been enjoying it! It can feel weird to cook raw fish in the microwave (I was hesitant at first too), but it truly makes life so much easier!!
heyy, are they safe to use in a microwave tho?
@@sujathasukumaran8258 the tray is made for the microwave specifically
Fish actually cook very nicely in the microwave. Go for it!
@@apushkal you said thermometer I know the temperature of cook fish so you can compare
Seriously want to cry right now. I'm easily overwhelmed with recipes and feel super ashamed about that since it hinders my ability to try different things. This is the first recipe where I feel like it's super doable, especially in the microwave! Thank you for this. I'm going to find that tray and try this recipe. Thank you!!
This is the realest and most practical meal prep ever especially for those with executive dysfunction. More like these please
Been living with ADHD my whole life and it’s nice to watch someone who understands how some days it can be tough to have the motivation to do something as seemingly simple as cooking a meal. Love your shorts :)
Grateful that you mentioned reasons why making food can be difficult. I have severe epilepsy and rheumatism -and currently a burnout on top. I've cried SO hard having to drag myself into the kitchen when I had to fix food. This is great! ❤
sending you hugs 🫶🏼 life is so hard sometimes but you’re a trooper
The best thing to do is know you’re cooking time and cook smaller amount of the protein for one serving or you can cook a bunch of serving on a tray in the mini oven convection oven and heating stuff like plastic stuff in the microwave
@dreamweaver444 thanks you ♡ I missed to notification of your response, hence the late reply! ♡
@IVvOOvVI thank you! ♡
Right now I'm all about mealprep and "grab-and-goes" (items I can literally grab and eat, and have decent enough food/or even a full meal), for when all I can do is sit and be a vegetable myself (:
I absolutely love your channel. As a person in ED recovery, your entire vibe and mentality is helping me tremendously in seeing food as a fun, helpful hobby to have, instead of a fear
Although I love to cook, as a person w ADHD I'm SO glad I follow your channel. You've saved me with lots of meals in the past two weeks bc I was struggling to prepare food to eat.
I never even thought about microwave steaming things! This is really going to help when I’m too depressed to cook. Looking up a container now!
Have you ever tried baking things in the convection oven? It works really well too.
I don’t think you can understand what a massive difference you’re making in people’s lives. ❤
Your tips (especially to add rather than subtract food from meals) have made a huge difference to how I think about eating, as well as factoring in l challenges like chronic illness or exec dysfunction rather than beating ourselves up about why we can’t just behave like everyone seems to 😊
I love your approach to all of these recipes and tips and tricks you share. I never feel guilty when I don’t have the energy to cook something fancy because I know that’s not always practical. Thank you for sharing these recipes and so much more.
I'm so greatfull to have found your channel. I feel i hit the jackpot! I am chronically ill and so is my child. You have been a lifesaver for us! Much respect ❤
I LOVE this, thank you. I’m EXHAUSTED working 45+ hrs a week on my feet all day, I need something quick and simple. 🙌🏼
What do you do that gets you so tired? Do you drink coffee?
Need more executive dysfunction meal recommendations. Can this be a mini series?
This is so sweet! Thank you so much! I have autism and sometimes I'm too overstimulated to cook, but I still want to take good care of myself. Thank you!
I love that you're showing eating nutritious delicious food can be just as fast as going theough the drive through and doesnt take advanced culinary knowledge or tools. More of these videos please. 😊
Love the way you address different population needs. That’s the where your dietician education shows!
I’ve already posted a comment like this on one of these episodes: but I’m tearing up again from hearing you mention executive dysfunction. I hope you know how much means to us other ADHD folk, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and support with us ❤❤❤
As someone with executive dysfunction this is so helpful! I need one of these!
What kind of dysfunction is that?
@@IVvOOvVI I struggle with ADHD
Thank you for always mentioning executive dysfunction. I have ADHD and sometimes certain tasks feel so so overwhelming, people don't get it
That’s good tip, I’ve got ADHD and do the cooking so that’s helpful. Sometimes dinner is leftover rice and microwaved frozen veggies plus something else I can make while that is cooking.
Egg for protein!
Girl I’ve literally seen 2 videos of yours and I’m literally obsessed. Yassss
you're making people feel really seen. I love that. Keep going Kylie! May God bless you
love the accessibility of these meal prep tips, and you end up with food that not only tastes good but has plenty of nutrients
My everyday dinner is steamed veggies and some from of protein. Usually Chicken, salmon or tofu. I get the frozen veggies that come in steam bags. So quick and easy. And healthy
How can you eat that everyday without getting bored of it??
@@morgantaylor5524 I honestly don't know. I do switch up the protein and vegetables so everyday is slightly different. plus I have a stomach disorder so anything that doesn't make me sick im happy with
@@retro.raider I understand. I am overweight and trying to eat healthy can be a hassle but I suppose if I think of food as fuel and not pleasure then I'll be fine😓
@@morgantaylor5524 its definitely not easy. I used to be overweight and ive lost about 40kg over the last few years. for me, it was making small changes. like I would still have snacks but I would choose a healthier option. Add more vegetables and fruit to my meals so I feel up on that and not carbs. when you change your diet, the first few months are the hardest. You will get used to it, and you'll come to really love the healthier foods. also water is a huge part of it. once I really started hydrating my cravings reduced a lot. I dont drink soft drink either. self discipline is self love. you've got this mate
@@retro.raider Thanks so much for the support! You don't know how much it means to me. I hope you have a great night and please, continue to take care of yourself. One day I'll be right there with you
For me, turning on the oven in our 120 year old house in the summer is a no-no. Between old windows and no central AC, the heat and humidity would mean no one would sleep. I love this tip, for the simple fact it doesn’t generate the heat.
I’m chronically I’ll and have ADHD, thank you so much for these videos they really help me!!
Ok but can we talk about how BEAUTIFUL she is? 👀 like gurl give us some beauty tips 😍
I LOVE my microwave. I'm chronically ill, I do big meal prep when I'm having a good day, put the food in the fridge and freezer, and then on bad days I can just microwave it and have a good meal in 3 minutes with no effort. It's also great when doing cooking and not just re-heating, because if I've got something boiling on the stove I've got to watch that. If it's in the microwave, I can go sit down and rest, and if I'm not ready to get up again when the timer goes off there's no worries, it'll be fine, it's stopped cooking.
thank you for being so down to earth about nutrition. not everyone can or even wants to make elaborate and super healthy dishes every day. so thank you for making nutrition accessible ❤
Easy meals are always so so so appreciated! I imagine stay-at-home parents would also REALLY love this recipe, considering how stressful parenting can be!
I just found her channel and instantly subbed! I LOVE how she talks fast and explains while showing us....she doesn't make a 20 second long intro about the video😅🙌🏽
I've struggled with binge eating for years and never stayed consistent with my health journey... but I've started again and will NOT give up🥹👍🏼
You are just the absolutely coolest, thank you for these videos
OMG thank you so much for showing this!! It's such a versatile recipe that can basically be adapted to any food we have on hand where the formula is: rice(or any carb) + protein + veg + go-to seasoning where everything can be cooked quickly. This video shows how accessible and easy putting together a nutritious and balanced meal can be.
You still need cooking time so don’t rush and do this when you’re extremely hungry
This is great. You are a dietitian who actually knows what they're doing and is conveying life enhancing advice. This truly is the Lord's work
Needed this. Been skipping dinner.
I bought this and it has changed my life. I love it so much.
This is so inclusive 😭❤️❤️
I agree on your last point, stuff does not have to be complicated/fancy to be healthy/nutritious.
People's idea of what healthy food is has been warped by marketing and poor journalism imo.
So my mom just sent me the link to your channel, but she had been telling me about you for awhile. I have RFID too. Words can't even describe how much emotion I felt when I found that there was a name for what I had been living with. And the validation and context I needed to start battling it!! Instead of feeling ashamed over being a picky eater and accepting it as a personal failing I couldn't seem to fix, I can go at it with a strategy. I have tried more new foods in the last two years than I did through the entirety of high school. Still a long road a head, but it's not so hard now that I know what I'm doing.
My point being, thanks. It's nice to not feel so alone or rare in this and see someone standing on the other side. You are kind of my role model for this whole eating disorder thing, even if I don't follow your content that closely. Just seeing that someone like me beat it is all I need.
Yeah I am chronically ill and cooking is so hard. I need more stuff like this.
This tip has been so helpful! I did this a few times already. I honestly prefer the taste of pan seared salmon because it gets this nice charred flavor. But when I’m low on time or just tired and not into it it’s a great option! I threw a salmon and veggie dinner together in almost no time before rushing out for work!
I cooked my salmon in the convection, mini oven and it delicious and you can get a chard side too by broiling it
I appreciate you mentioning the microwave. I have depression and it's hard to cook sometimes and I use the microwave often to cook veggies.
You are so pretty! And come off as so kind and nonjudgemental. ❤
Thank you God for bringing me to this channel 🙏 I'm 15+ months free from substance abuse & am trying to learn how to live healthy again. I was a fitness instructor once apon a time but due to the drugs, I struggle with executive function, ADHD & what i call option overwhelm which means anxiety. You've simplified 1 area I feel like I'd forgotten, how to eat healthy AND simply. I dont have energy to cook most days, but get weaker from eating junk or nothing.
Thank you 🩷 God Bless
God is good! I am glad He is keeping you on this journey of sobriety. It's not easy...in your weakness, His strength is made perfect! I'm sure there have been many days and still are days where it doesn't feel like you have His strength but im glad He continues to encourage you (even by leading you to this video). You are so loved by the Lord and Savior!
Is there a playlist for these tips?
Thank you for thinking of us chronically ill folks. It’s truly a struggle to prepare food sometimes but this looks doable!
I love your ideas, I love they include everyone, and that u use the microwave which can be so helpful
Thank you for this. ADHD, and diagnosed with lupus and Fibromyalgia last year. I need one of these and I feel so seen and validated. ❤
YES adhd and endometriosis here and I feel so safe on this channel
Thank you for mentioning executive dysfunction, I feel seen. The microwave is my bff when I don’t want to cook 😂😭
As a chronically I’ll young person, I am constantly scolded for spending my money on ordering out instead of cooking. No one seems to understand I can barely even stand for 3 minutes after an 8 hour shift with chronic inflammation. Please make more content about quick healthy eating that is simple. I have to eat but I’m spending so much on eating out.
Could you address the belief we've often heard growing up that microwaves remove nutritional value from food? I'm pretty sure it's not true at this point but it would be great to hear more from you about debunking what I assume is a myth! Thanks for your helpful videos!! 😊
What made you want to be a dietitian? The reason why I ask is because you seem so good at your job.
That’s because she’s probably good at her job and she likes it
I'm glad that the weird fear of the microwave seems to be abating. I used to view it as lesser than bc I was a thoroughly taight home cook. But man. Microwaves are insanely efficient and useful. Just like frozen veggies
I really enjoy this chic. She has no judgement just practical easy steps that are obtainable. Thank you for your free dietician consultant, normally you would cost me $180 so thank you for being so generous and sharing your knowledge.
You have SAVED my life!!!! thank you for having the courage to post. Just know to this person you have made a difference. Thank you so much I wish you many blessings.
Highly recommend a non-plastic steamer.
Do they make non-plastic steamers that can go in the microwave?
@@LulaMae21don't put metal in your microwave lol
An actual nutritionist saying "its okay to microwave" is so so nice to hear...i dont have a lot of money and i dont have an expensive kitchen. So i can barely make big meals as it is, let alone when depression and adhd hits. So knowing im not some monster health wise for using something in my kitchen is breath of fresh air when online...
@@thecanadiancaribou you can get packaged meats that have been seared beforehand....
@@thecanadiancaribou bruh telling me to think critically when its obvious he doesnt realize food can be precooked before its made to be microwaved or leftovers exists lmao
@@thecanadiancaribou youre sitting here yapping makin no sense my man. Ive never once deviated from the topic
this is why its so important to learn how to cook at a young age too😭
Nothing to do with that. Here in Japan everyone lives alone and it's way too troublesome to cook for one. Microwave recipes are huge here.
@@KryaDiere i actually don’t remember why i commented this or what the point was, and yah you’re right
You are really a blessing for understanding and helping others ❤❤
I mean this as an absolute compliment…it is so refreshing to see someone who’s conventionally attractive and thin giving options for a healthy meal while also not shaming the “unhealthy” version. This is super helpful for so many of us. Thank you for being so genuine.
Can you provide a link to that microwave steamer?
I added the link to my Amazon storefront (I can't copy and paste links here since it usually gets flagged or removed)!
@@NutritionByKylie cool! Thank you!
thank you so much, i am chronically ill due to suffering a stroke at 16 and i find myself using the trusty microwave times when i don’t have the strength to do much else 💕💕💕
Bless you to the moon and back for showing how important this level of accessibility is 🙌🏻💕
I hope Kylie sees this: I have debilitating chronic migraines, and got one of these because I saw this short. I have used it SO MUCH since I got it, and can feed myself well with consistency now. Thank you.
I am so glad I found your videos
Miss Kylie you are too cute and sweet, I have always been overweight but i have found that dietitians on the internet are literally so comforting and understanding and make me feel so warm ❤❤❤
This is why I love my oven though. 200 °C, 20-30 min you can cook almost anything and that leave you 20 min to rest/do other chores/go to the bathroom/whatever.
You had me at have executive dysfunction 😂😭
Genuinely life changing thank you
I suffer from cyclical depression. When I'm in a depressive episode, it's hard to do anything. I really appreciate how you are so kind coming to it not as someone is "lazy," but that there are a lot of other reasons why making food can be hard. It feels really good to be treated with kindness and for you wanting to help people who struggle. I hope you have a good day :)
I used this method to quickly cook sliced chicken breast and veggies all together and in no time. It saved a lot of time during the exams, when I didn’t have much time and energy to cook in a usual way, but I still wanted and needed to eat.
Omg how is your hair sooo gorgeous? 😍😍
Your channel has slowly helped me start to actually feed myself in a sustainable way, my executive dysfunction is very very bad around cooking and I simply will not eat for days sometimes. This is genuinely making a huge impact on my health every day, thank you so so much for making this information accessible ❤
if you could, it would be very helpful to see more tips and recipes and veggie steaming times you like to do with this!!
"Why not just use the stove?"
All the reasons she listed, plus, another completely valid one: "i just dont want to."
Not everyone wants to cook. And THAT'S OKAY. THEY STILL DESERVE DELICIOUS NUTRITIOUS MEALS!!!!
It's okay to take shortcuts. What matters is you get the right nutrients, and feel good in your body 🧡
I love this channel so much. So many great tips
When is your cookbook coming out? Your meals look amazing, but I am having trouble with the short videos as the only source to make the dishes 🫣
