Tangent, but it's honestly so refreshing to see your "normal person" kitchen in this video! So many fitness/wellness content creators have these super luxe, minimalist kitchens with absolutely spotless cabinets and appliances, and I'm like "How do you cook in here without being scared of ruining your decor?" as I watch 😂
I like your approach to fitness and nutrition. Especially "enjoy fun stuff in moderation". I think it is true, important to allow ourselves to have those fun stuff, if we allow ourselves to enjoy our fav meal/foods, hence less restricting ourselves, we would have better satisfaction and satity level hence more sustainable diet.
I just found your channel and I've watching all of your videos! I really appreciate how you approach nutrition and how it is ok to still eat things that are fun and not restricting items. New subscriber!
I couldn’t figure out why you blurred out the chicken at first. I kept saying it’s chicken?! Right?! Then I cracked up laughing because chicken breast 😂 I always remember 80-20 for diet and exercise but never for diet alone so thank you for that! I have 3 kids and a hubby so sometimes it’s 2 different meals so I’m all about quick and efficient. We have make your own pizza night so I control how much I put on my pizza. My biggest downfall? My sweet tooth😭
Hahah glad you found that as amusing as I did :) As far as sweets go, try to have some high quality pre-portioned sweets. That way you can portion control a bit better. I even tell my clients to put the rest of the box or bag in a really high spot so they're less tempted. Or the other option is to simply not keep it in the house. Hope that helps!
@@JustinaErcole I will keep those tips in mind!I try to keep stuff hidden in places I wouldn’t think to look so when I do end up going in that cabinet or drawer it’s “oh I forgot I had that!” I also don’t come down hard on myself anymore if I splurge a little.☺️
I love your 'shit in bowl'. I call them trash plates or garbage meal, because I take bits and pieces of prepped food or leftovers, chuck into the skillet, and add sauce or cheese or just seasoning. Not particularly visually appealing (at least for pictures) but it always tastes good and is usually pretty healthy.
Just found your channel and I love it! Super interesting and fun! I would love more nutrition content! U explaine everything so easy and clever! Keep up the Great work! ❤️
Are there any prepared meal services that you'd actually recommend? Looking for something grab-and-go for breakfast and lunch and wondering which are nutritionally sound.
Field trip lol. After seeing your breakfast, I need to add in more veggies for breakfast. It’s usually an egg or oatmeal with whole grain toast. I eat a large salad for lunch, which ups my veggie servings and gives me a low calorie lunch. Dinner I eat around my husband and daughter. Neither one eat enough vegetables, but both are thin and healthy. Go figure! I try to eat a lean meat and veggie, cutting out the pasta or rice I make for them. Sweets are my downfall, especially dark chocolate!
Literally not trying to start up a debate or anything but im a vegetarian (so no meat or fish but I do eat eggs, dairy products, honey etc) and I always struggle with the amount of proteins to include in my daily meals. Any advice? I never really know how much is enough and how to get enough from my meals without getting redundant? (like I'm not sure I want to be stuffing myself with dozens of hard boiled eggs everyday lmao) I'll be happy to know your opinion and tips about that! Really cool video as usual, I just did your 50min glutes work out this morning, you rock girl!
Hey! Precision Nutrition has an excellent calculator that can help you figure out how much protein is optimal for your goals on a vegetarian diet. If you give it a Google it should come right up. Hope that helps!
I’m so glad that I found your channel! This was super helpful and definitely something I’ll be implementing into my lifestyle. 🤍 I also enjoyed the humor of you blurring out the chicken breasts. 😂
Hey I'm a new subscriber, since this was a nutrition video I would like to know more about bcaa? I'm thinking of taking one once a week during my longer workout day
Any tips for a veggie hater to like/eat more veggies? If you're lucky you'll see me eat a little bit of veggies with a lot of meat 😅 I want to eat healthier and include more veggies (except for tomatoes, texturally I just cannot)
Hey Samantha! Try going half and half with your carbs or hiding them in sauces. For example: if I'm doing rice, I'll do half rice and half cauli or broccoli rice. If I'm making a pasta sauce, I'll chop up some zucchini really small or puree it in. Also smoothies are a great way to stuff in spinach without even tasting it :) Hope that helps a bit!
So after you baked the Brussel sprouts, you just chopped them up and put them into a bowl? Or did they just break up on their own from baking? Love your channel. I put on that quarantine weight and I’m trying my darnest to loose it. Your channels is helping.
Any tips for healthy snacks? I've recently been going for an apple and some almonds, but have a feeling I'm gonna get tired of them if I don't mix it up haha (plus I've always been a salty kinda person, so what would be a good savory snack?)
I’m honestly not a big snacker, but try to get protein in at your snack time. Almonds, hard boiled egg on a rice cake, protein bar, cheese stick. Lots of options!
So many options you can steal some of my ideas if you like 😊: Apples/banana with peanut butter + cinnamon. Cottage cheese, smoked salmon on pumpernickle. Mix beans with canned tuna sprinkled with nuts or seeds. Greek yogurt + fruit + nuts or muesli for crunch. And sometimes...1 or 2 chocolates 😁
some more options: popcorn, roasted chickpeas (flavour according to your taste, i like honey soy), slice of cheese sandwiched between two corn thins (like rice cakes but corn), nut butter on rice cakes, the cucumber salad from mina rome's snacks vid on youtube but i add 1/2 cup of edamame for protein. also, just leftovers in a smaller portion are great and there are some decent processed snacks around too
I caught one of your videos last week and I find them so informative! Would you mind reviewing AARMY workouts? I go back and forth staying a client and would love to get your feedback! Cheers 🏋🏻♀️
I guess it is. Unfortunately I can’t afford to get my hair done more than twice a year so sometimes my roots come out. Happy you enjoy my videos though.
I kind of cringe at the fact you put warm food in a container and immediately closed it and refrigerate it. I was always taught to let it cool first. Is that wrong?
@@JustinaErcole I understand. I looked it up and I found a website where they explained why you should let it cool. And it's not because the food will go bad as I thought. It's because the fridge will get too warm and there may be condense in the fridge which will make it more wet and more prone for bacteria growth.
For sure plastic is a huge problem, and we should reuse as much as possible. But you talk about "Fighting the battle of saving the earth" then you should quit having the menstruation cycle of chickens, you should stop eating the limbs of our dear animals (they are our friends not our food). Only then you'll be on track to "fight the battle of saving the earth" You seem like a real nice person, I'm sure you would feel compassion for our friends? Wish their lives to be lived fully and happy, not wish their deaths for our satisfaction...

Ha! Oh yeahhh, most of us can't afford that aesthetic in nyc lol
“Shit in a bowl” lmao I’m glad I’m not the only one. So many of my meals I think to myself omg if anyone saw this they would think yuck
Hahahahha

100%! The only diet that works is the one you can stick to long term :) thanks for watching!

Hey Katherine! The only one I've ever tried is Factor75. Excellent preparation and quality of ingredients.
I'm fighting with myself to be healthier, it's hard but I know I can, hope to live until 80 years old hahahah, I love your video
Aim for 100 🤪 thanks for watching!

For the sweets, try to get individual pre portions! I find it helps a bit :)

New sub binging your fitness vids reviews lol..here because of your review of Heather Robertson 😌 keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
Same here!
Hey I'm a new subscriber, since this was a nutrition video I would like to know more about bcaa? I'm thinking of taking one once a week during my longer workout day
Hey! If I’m being honest, I know very little about BCAAs because I don’t use them and none of my clients do. Sorry I’m not more help!
@@JustinaErcole no, thank you for being honest! I'm still going to follow your videos. They've been very helpful, especially in correcting my form

I chopped them first and then baked :)
What protein powder do you use?
I have a few I enjoy but No Bull and Organifi are my faves :)

I like to have cauliflower around always, that with a little hummus, very satisfying

I'll check it out!
I’m distracted by your dark roots, is your hair really that dark, but I love your videos
I guess it is. Unfortunately I can’t afford to get my hair done more than twice a year so sometimes my roots come out. Happy you enjoy my videos though.
I kind of cringe at the fact you put warm food in a container and immediately closed it and refrigerate it. I was always taught to let it cool first. Is that wrong?
If you couldn’t tell by my video, I’m definitely not a kitchen expert lol. So if it’s wrong I have no clue!
@@JustinaErcole I understand. I looked it up and I found a website where they explained why you should let it cool. And it's not because the food will go bad as I thought.
