This video reminds me of the time when I was learning how to cook. I had just bought the diet plan (created it on Next Level Diet) at the age of 22 and started preparing my own meals from the food I got in the plan. I was so motivated back then. I broke my barriers when it comes to amount of food I can eat in a day, resulting in noticeable gains for a newbie. I recommend everyone to take care of their diet first, the rest will come naturally.
The fact he is one of the most informative, transparent, and dedicated lifters i've ever had the pleasure of learning from and only has almost 6 thousand subscribers. This man deserves more publicity. Thank you for your dedication to teaching other lifters the proper ways of staying safe while lifting and how to successfully reach their goals.
Thank you so much for this brother! All I want to be is a mentor to provide quality info for people. I didn’t have that when I started. So grateful for having this opportunity 🙌🏻
This dude could easily have dozens of sponsors and make thousands a month from ads and products, but no, he decides to be an honest influencer and a standup guy. God bless you
@wdym? I haven't until this evening, and it's true, there are similarities. I just rewatched this one as well, for my own comparison, and they simply have different styles. I still prefer Noel's simplicity, it's a different transparency that translates through the lenses. I did take lots of notes from the Jeremy's video too, very informative. As the cheesy line goes, you learn something new every day.
I've been struggling in meeting my daily macro intake since I'm a student but now that won't be a problem. Wish i had watched this video earlier. Thank you so much.
Dried starches like lentils, beans, peas and all that stuff are great for meal prepping. Even rice is reasonably cheap if you buy in bulk. Legumes are relatively high in protein, but also pack some carbs and are super universal, as they will go with pretty much everything else. Fish, chicken, meat etc. and even in a salad type dish to make it more substantial. For inspiration, check cultures that live off of these ingredients. Indian cooking is amazing, Asian and Central and South American cooking as well. Lots of flavor with not as many ingredients and easily adaptable to your taste and whatever you have in your fridge and pantry.
Been eating this breakfast for a month, low cal salad and a fruit for lunch, and just shy of 1 cup rice w/ 5 oz chicken and 100 grams veggie of choice everyday. Along with upping my cardio work (gyms closed so decided to just run and cut) i'm down 15lbs. 15 lbs in a single month. I cant believe it and now i meal prep everything. Thanks Noel for making my life simpler, really appreciate it. I'm prepping for my first half marathon now and will be running a full marathon spring 2022. It's amazing how some simple advice and following through with it for just a short time can change your whole outlook on life. Like really appreciate your honesty and drive to see everyone reach their true potential. Again Thanks. Tips not in the video but i found made things easy for me. 1. The oven is your friend. cook a whole pack of chicken spiced how you want (im a sucker for cajun spice mix) at 400deg for 20 - 25 mins. Always juicy and keeps for 4 - 5 days. 2. While the chicken is baking you can bake all the veg you need at the same time. Saves me tons of clean up and is also super healthy with no added oils. Peppers, brussel sprouts, carrots are my go to's. 3. Find quick and easy to put together meals so not everything is prepped. Variety is also good and will keep you interested. I like using turkey bacon in low cal ceasar dressing i make for salads that still pack in the flavor at only 300 cal for a huge bowl. I don't adhere to a budget as tight as this video. I do this because i am currently cutting and sometimes i need extra food to make me feel satisfied after a workout. 4. Make each week a different theme. i have my fallback cajun every other week but add indian, italian, and asian meals in to keep it interesting and to learn how to cook different things. 5. Remember, following a diet and messing up is ok, just keep pushing forward. hitting 80% a month is stumbling 6 times. Practice makes perfect.
I trust no one. But for some reason, I feel like I could give this guy my bank details and he would just put money into my account with inspirational quotes attached to each deposit.
It's absolutely crazy that I learned a LOT of BB meals prep. in (5 MIN!) than I ever did in my life! what an amazing and simple man and an absolute legend that REALLY cares about ppl, motivate them and not giving fake info just to increase his followers like many so called "influencers" do! hats down to him for being as real as it gets all respect to this guy!
As a young Marine living in the barracks. Thank you. I’ve been meal prepping with my rice cooker and hot plate I’m not supposed to have and it’s going great.
@@Vezzolll yeah some barracks dont allow you to have your own hot plate. Just a microwave and fridge. if your sections leaders are nice, they might let it slide though
@@bigfranchise he doesn't need the money though. This guy has a job. He doesn't need TH-cam, TikTok money. That's why he always tells the truth and not give you false guidance when it comes to bodybuilding. Subscribing, liking, following and sharing his videos are also free.
@@Joshua_Cartus exactly. The difference is it doesn’t take money and just takes 2 seconds of your day. Paying someone not only makes you lose money, but also time. As the time spent earning the money to pay for the course takes time as well.

For lentils, from a culture which still eats them a lot, try to soak them in water over overnight at least. Greatly helps with digestion and some side effects you might get, same with beans or other seeds in that family
@@lastnamefirst650 You also need your microbiome to get used to those foods. So eat small portions once in a while and raise the dose each time you're eating it, your system will then develop the right enzymes to prevent bloating.
Straight to the point with timestamps and you’re not “hyper” like other bodybuilders that just scream everything. You saving that energy for the gym yess
I have the same disability and i want to ask you something.. im lifting weights with a prosthetic left arm but higher the weights the more my arm breaks... how do you do it? My prosthetic arm cant handle the weight
@@mariusdatenis I just use 1 arm as I don't have a working second. I have no shoulder/pec as well so muscle imbalance wasn't an issue for me. I'd talk to a prosthetic fitter about a stronger prosthetic for lifting specifically.
finally a bodybuilder that keeps it real and doesn't attribute their gains to eating 25 bland egg whites and oatmeal with just water 6 times a day, this looks really tasty and for sure gonna try them out! great video.
I wish all the fitness influencers were honest like he is, instead of lying and sell their shitty supplements which has no effects whatsoever. Thank you Noel for your knowledge sharing highly appreciate it.
I wish people weren’t naive and stupid enough to believe everything someone tells them online, and were actually capable of doing research, but here we are.
Honestly the best budget meal video I’ve seen, primarily because Noel is from South Africa and so I am so the ingredients he was talking is readily available to me. Unlike overseas influencers
i absolutely love that you did this whole video with your arm in a sling. People will always come up with every excuse in the book not to do something, and you're showing them that none of that matters. I love it
First meal I've tried of this was the chicken meal. Great shout for paprika & turmeric, chicken finally tastes good again. As for the potatos & carrots, I've been cutting the potato's into the shape of mini fries basically and putting that with the chopped carrots into a bowl and lathering them with extra virgin olive oil and putting them in the oven for an hour at 350F. Tastes fucking amazing. What I love about this meal prep system is you can take away or add whatever you'd like and it's a nice general structure to follow for cheap. Great stuff yet again Noel, I know this vid is pretty old but can't wait to try out the other meals. Thanks for making food fun again. :)
this man is singlehandedly pulling the whole gym community from darkness to light . even though his one arm is injured yet still one is enough tor him . Love the contents & knowledge he shares. This guy is really a gem to the fitness community & to the young stars as well.
the simplicity and straightforwardness of this video takes away all the negative stigma to meal prepping, it is concise information that is very achievable for most and easy to follow for all. No BS, amazing video. Thank you.
I used to lift a lot in high school when i had more free time, now as a student i go to gym rarer also because i dont eat properly to train harder, but you giving sincere motivation and basic life advices, i never knew how to cook, even my mom didnt teach me anything, you are helping more than you have expected
I found you on tiktok, then instagram and now youtube. You are so underrated for the content you put out, you're now one of my favorite influencers and Im Finally going to stop making excuses and just meal prep so thanks man!
I tried the smoothie it was nice, Im not even going to the gym just trying to get out of depression, one day im going to get back into the gym, and your motivation and education helps me thankyou Noel.
The gym has almost cured my depression putting my mind toward bettering myself instead of sitting in my own self pity has really helped me. Wish you the best friend
Lifting is what got me out of the depressive funk I’d been in for years. It’s a positive feedback loop, the more you stick to a diet and make lifting gains the better and better it feels. Hope you’re doing better friend!
I finally went back to the gym today after I had fallen down into depression. Time to improve myself and fight those demons. We are going to make it bro.
Even if you're not into fitness, this video is a great example of how much money you can save just by cooking at home. I've worked with so many people over the years that always got take out for lunch and complained about not having money...
@@PinkeySuavo I'm 6'4, 90kg and I can gain muscle just fine on 2000kcal, tho I definitely feel I gain a good bit more with 2500 - 2800 a day. If you want more calories, just up the portion sizes, still super cheap.
@@j4y167 Thank you for the information! I wouldnt except that a 90kg person could build muscles on such calories. Its interesting. I think that most of the online calculators usually would show u need a lot more
@@PinkeySuavo I'm a nutritionist and 2000kcal are definetly not enough as a daily average for a 90kg person, especially, when they try to build muscle.
He deserves all the love and respect in this world, bcz he acknowledged that "broke adult" is a thing, and that shouldn't stop you from meal prep. Damn, he's so loving and kind.
I am not sure this comment will reach you Noel, but seeing this video, back in May of 2021 sparked a series of changes in my own lifestyle. The pure shock of someone this big, with this much lean mass, eating 'this little' was the first step of coming to terms that I had a pretty serious eating dysfunction. Fast forward now, 20 kilograms lighter, hitting the gym as many times as I can every week (even Saturdays and Sundays), striving towards a healthier, stronger body and, at the same time, mind. I really appreciate this channel exists and thank you for the work you do.
I just recenty started meal prepping, and I would have to say it has helped me a lot. sometimes its just soo inconvenient to have to make just 1 meal at a time 3 times a day or more. Thanks Noel
Even knowing of the benefits of meal prep and taking better care of my body beforehand, seeing and hearing someone do so and do so wholesomely is inspiring and encouraging. You're great.
It's absolutely crazy that I learned a LOT of BB meals prep. in (5 MIN!) than I ever did in my life! what an amazing and simple man and an absolute legend that REALLY cares about ppl, motivate them and not giving fake info just to increase his followers like many so called "influencers" do! hats down to you bro for being as real as it gets all respect to you!
Noel you are the real one for bringing positivity and real information to the fitness industry. I was so disgusted by all the toxic fitness influences out there. Fitness is not just about the size, is about training your mind to being mentally strong for the problems in life. I hope more people realize that. Thanks Brother
Wholesome message, content with added value to the listeners, simple and informative productive. All of that combined makes it the fastest fitness channel I've ever subbed to! Very nice finally seeing some integrity and transparency in this industry, sad to see that it it's uncommon. Unbelievable freshness that I wasn't expecting to stumble upon today !!
Straight to the point, no nonsense and actually doable. I’m married and a father of 2, developed a dad-bod and I can do all these at 5 AM upon waking up. And I wouldn’t mind eating these every workday. SUBSCRIBED!!! Thank you sir.
Noel talked about the time he broke his arm, and how it felt that everything he has done, has gone to waste. and you can see it in his eyes he is sad. still made this video to help others to achieve something. what a god sent this man is.
I am only 13 I have been working out for around a year and have been following this plan I have gotten a lot bigger now weighing 70kg and am 5'11 I hope to get more muscle till I'm satisfied with my results. Thank you this helped me so much through out the year
Thank you Noel! I have been breaking my brain for a week on how to eat as cheaply as possible to get enough protein and satiation on a dime. I am disabled unable to exercise CFS/ME. I was lingering over ar Greg Doucette youtube this past week trying to piece it together. And then your name came up over there. And HERE you absolutely gave me THE template on HOW to exactly do this and do it for Zeeeeero! Skipping whey meal and adopting the other 3 meals gives me 1,373 calories (perfect) protein 89 (perfect) cost 3 bucks!!! I am 5'5" 150 lbs.
I highly recommend you count your calories. There is a lot of good information on r/gainit. Being perpetually skinny is almost always due to not eating enough food, genetics and metabolism can always be overcome with a calorie surplus. It'll be a hard transition to up your calorie intake by several hundred per day, but once you get used to it, you'll be gaining in to time. Just make sure to lift as well or else you'll just gain a bunch of fat :P
@@Vizaru Eating too much is tough. I'm 120lbs and I eat as much as I can (although I limit junk food to only twice a month). The thing is, I get full real quick.
It’s awesome to see you talk about a similar way to which I cook ^^ I make a lot of healthy balanced meals for really cheap and have been hoping to gain some strength recently !it’s nice to know I already have the food down !!
noel, my friends and i have recently started going back to the gym, and starting october we plan to really take it seriously, focus on our diet as well as training and get even a little bit as jacked as you are, i look up to you so much, so thanks for this, i will use this to further educate and help my friends reach our collective goal of becoming more like you!
Noel, I've been watching your channel for a while and I just want to say thank you for helping to get me motivated again. Your videos are so clean, audio, video, and entertaining. Cooking meets advice and lifestyle. You are a great source of inspiration
Dude, I love your content, and this is the cherry on top. You make me want to step my game up and get serious about being healthy and get into body building. Thank you for being the God sent man that you are.
Love these! For the chicken and steamed veggies, I changed it up a bit. I oven roasted the broccoli, potatoes, and carrots to get them crispy and tossed them in avocado oil and seasoning for added flavor (before roasting). I also rotate my protein. One week it’s chicken, then turkey, then beef, then bison, then frozen fish filets. That way I don’t get bored and I get a balanced diet. I’ve been able to up my muscle mass and cut my fat with meal prep. And this is coming from a broke ass adult working 50 hours a week
Bro who tf disliked this video???? This god keeps the video as informative as possible and I have never received better advice ever..... I know you’re helping people (me included) and you’re gonna help a lot more. Keep it up cause one day you’re really gonna blow up ( I know you already have on tik tok congratulations) amazing content 10/10
I've recently began my weight loss journey and I am really enjoying the road thus far. My main goal is bulking up and getting rid of the excess fat in my body, but I was really worried about the food that I'm told to eat(usually super expensive stuff), but seeing these affordable meal preps really motivates me to continue. Thank you so much for this helpful video, padre Noel!
Full time student, worker, and father. Thank you for posting this video Deyzel. Will be a little difficult to find time to workout, but I'll figure it out.
Thank u Noel I am from India moving to Canada for higher studies. my parents don't support me going to the gym. vedios about cheap meal prep will help me a lot. Your doing the lord's work.
Honestly, when im hungry i just make these and store them. Small portions of course so i dont eat too much as i stress eat alot. Its nice food ans calms me down. Not only good recipes for fitness but life in general. 9/10 since nothing will be as perfect as your help!
Glad you brought up the cost of the whey protein, as that goes for a lot of foods. It lasts so long, and a scoop is full of protein and can pack up to 200 calories. People need to look at price tag less and see the serving. For one or even two people, it’s really good.🤟🏾
Yeah I'm in a support group for overeaters, this is really helping me to see that meal planning is possible and simple. Thanks a lot for breaking it down :)
Man in less than a year prices for these have gone up a bunch. Still extremely cost effective. Example: chicken breasts are at least $2.1/lb at walmart for the walmart junk and $3/lb for slightly higher quality. Lentils are $1.25/lb. Eggs now like $1.50/dozen. Quality whey protein is at least $1/serving now. Overall 25-40% increases in cost.

Atta boy
Get enough sleep, eat right like carbs, veggies, lean meat and some fats for the hormones. And train harder than last time fellow lifter
I'm a bit fat, I'd like to do the same thing 😂
@@EngineeredRFT let's crush it man!!

Straight to the point with timestamps and you’re not “hyper” like other bodybuilders that just scream everything. You saving that energy for the gym yess
Mad props, as an adult on disability with 1 arm trying to make it, these are game changers.
I have the same disability and i want to ask you something.. im lifting weights with a prosthetic left arm but higher the weights the more my arm breaks... how do you do it? My prosthetic arm cant handle the weight
@@mariusdatenis I just use 1 arm as I don't have a working second. I have no shoulder/pec as well so muscle imbalance wasn't an issue for me. I'd talk to a prosthetic fitter about a stronger prosthetic for lifting specifically.
finally a bodybuilder that keeps it real and doesn't attribute their gains to eating 25 bland egg whites and oatmeal with just water 6 times a day, this looks really tasty and for sure gonna try them out! great video.
I wish all the fitness influencers were honest like he is, instead of lying and sell their shitty supplements which has no effects whatsoever. Thank you Noel for your knowledge sharing highly appreciate it.
That's so true. All the toxic fitness influences out there are really keeping new people away from wanting to learn more about the industry.
I wish people weren’t naive and stupid enough to believe everything someone tells them online, and were actually capable of doing research, but here we are.
this comment didn't age well
@@yhunterz6954 yes, it did.
@@yhunterz6954 His sponsor was actually decent though, want it?
Honestly the best budget meal video I’ve seen, primarily because Noel is from South Africa and so I am so the ingredients he was talking is readily available to me. Unlike overseas influencers
Likewise bru
i absolutely love that you did this whole video with your arm in a sling. People will always come up with every excuse in the book not to do something, and you're showing them that none of that matters. I love it
This dude..god bless. It’s always nice to see people that are honest and kind become so successful. Hoping for the best for this man!
this guy is literally that one guy who looks like he tears gorillas in half for fun, but is actually just a chill dude
First meal I've tried of this was the chicken meal. Great shout for paprika & turmeric, chicken finally tastes good again. As for the potatos & carrots, I've been cutting the potato's into the shape of mini fries basically and putting that with the chopped carrots into a bowl and lathering them with extra virgin olive oil and putting them in the oven for an hour at 350F. Tastes fucking amazing. What I love about this meal prep system is you can take away or add whatever you'd like and it's a nice general structure to follow for cheap. Great stuff yet again Noel, I know this vid is pretty old but can't wait to try out the other meals. Thanks for making food fun again. :)
Add some rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, salt pepper chili flakes and minced garlic to those potatoes and that flavor is incredible
how much caaaloes is this whole diet
calories
@@m_elite9568 it has olive oil in it so the calories should be reasonably high
this man is singlehandedly pulling the whole gym community from darkness to light . even though his one arm is injured yet still one is enough tor him . Love the contents & knowledge he shares. This guy is really a gem to the fitness community & to the young stars as well.
the simplicity and straightforwardness of this video takes away all the negative stigma to meal prepping, it is concise information that is very achievable for most and easy to follow for all. No BS, amazing video. Thank you.
what negative stigma alex??
I used to lift a lot in high school when i had more free time, now as a student i go to gym rarer also because i dont eat properly to train harder, but you giving sincere motivation and basic life advices, i never knew how to cook, even my mom didnt teach me anything, you are helping more than you have expected
I found you on tiktok, then instagram and now youtube. You are so underrated for the content you put out, you're now one of my favorite influencers and Im Finally going to stop making excuses and just meal prep so thanks man!
I tried the smoothie it was nice, Im not even going to the gym just trying to get out of depression, one day im going to get back into the gym, and your motivation and education helps me thankyou Noel.
same bruv, the depression is tough but we'll make it out brah
The gym has almost cured my depression putting my mind toward bettering myself instead of sitting in my own self pity has really helped me. Wish you the best friend
We're gonna make it brahs 💪💪
Lifting is what got me out of the depressive funk I’d been in for years. It’s a positive feedback loop, the more you stick to a diet and make lifting gains the better and better it feels. Hope you’re doing better friend!
I finally went back to the gym today after I had fallen down into depression. Time to improve myself and fight those demons. We are going to make it bro.
This guy came out of no where! So fresh and much needed in this industry
Even if you're not into fitness, this video is a great example of how much money you can save just by cooking at home.
I've worked with so many people over the years that always got take out for lunch and complained about not having money...
But u get 2000kcal from it. I bet many people need more than that to build muscles.
@@PinkeySuavo I'm 6'4, 90kg and I can gain muscle just fine on 2000kcal, tho I definitely feel I gain a good bit more with 2500 - 2800 a day. If you want more calories, just up the portion sizes, still super cheap.
@@j4y167 Thank you for the information! I wouldnt except that a 90kg person could build muscles on such calories. Its interesting. I think that most of the online calculators usually would show u need a lot more
@@PinkeySuavo it's also mainly about the protein intake, which isn't small throughout the 4 meals
@@PinkeySuavo I'm a nutritionist and 2000kcal are definetly not enough as a daily average for a 90kg person, especially, when they try to build muscle.
He deserves all the love and respect in this world, bcz he acknowledged that "broke adult" is a thing, and that shouldn't stop you from meal prep. Damn, he's so loving and kind.
I am not sure this comment will reach you Noel, but seeing this video, back in May of 2021 sparked a series of changes in my own lifestyle. The pure shock of someone this big, with this much lean mass, eating 'this little' was the first step of coming to terms that I had a pretty serious eating dysfunction.
Fast forward now, 20 kilograms lighter, hitting the gym as many times as I can every week (even Saturdays and Sundays), striving towards a healthier, stronger body and, at the same time, mind. I really appreciate this channel exists and thank you for the work you do.
inspirational!
i just cant descibe how this man helps me, motivates me, entertains me. Keep it up brother
I like how calm and simple these videos are. I'm so used to being shouted at on TH-cam by an American. Much love from UK
The only youtuber who screams at me regularly is coach Greg, and he's Canadian
Look at Noel with his arm in a sling, teaching us to look after ourselves. I appreciate you, man 💘
I just recenty started meal prepping, and I would have to say it has helped me a lot. sometimes its just soo inconvenient to have to make just 1 meal at a time 3 times a day or more. Thanks Noel
I love this manly man full of perfection
he should make a series about students and broke adults because it’s really really helpful
Pro Tip: Use a pressure cooker for cooking lentils. They make it much softer which eases the digestion process.
Yea just make sure too run it under cold water before you open it
so i can use a rice cooker?
This man is a legend, a killer for every information about food prep, workout. You can't have any execuses with this man. THANK YOU Legend!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this my brother!🙏🏼❤️Appreciate you! Got loads more content coming up! Thanks for supporting the vision!
Even knowing of the benefits of meal prep and taking better care of my body beforehand, seeing and hearing someone do so and do so wholesomely is inspiring and encouraging. You're great.
It's absolutely crazy that I learned a LOT of BB meals prep. in (5 MIN!) than I ever did in my life! what an amazing and simple man and an absolute legend that REALLY cares about ppl, motivate them and not giving fake info just to increase his followers like many so called "influencers" do! hats down to you bro for being as real as it gets all respect to you!
Noel you are the real one for bringing positivity and real information to the fitness industry. I was so disgusted by all the toxic fitness influences out there. Fitness is not just about the size, is about training your mind to being mentally strong for the problems in life. I hope more people realize that. Thanks Brother
Wholesome message, content with added value to the listeners, simple and informative productive. All of that combined makes it the fastest fitness channel I've ever subbed to! Very nice finally seeing some integrity and transparency in this industry, sad to see that it it's uncommon. Unbelievable freshness that I wasn't expecting to stumble upon today !!
Straight to the point, no nonsense and actually doable. I’m married and a father of 2, developed a dad-bod and I can do all these at 5 AM upon waking up. And I wouldn’t mind eating these every workday. SUBSCRIBED!!! Thank you sir.
Daddy Noel got beginners, veterans, and broke students their backs. Thank you Noel :)
1:39 an important part you've skipped: before boiling lentils rinse it a couple of times and leave in a fresh water for a couple of hours.
This is SO helpful. Going back to college and on a crazy tight food budget, thank you so much!
Noel talked about the time he broke his arm, and how it felt that everything he has done, has gone to waste. and you can see it in his eyes he is sad. still made this video to help others to achieve something. what a god sent this man is.
I am only 13 I have been working out for around a year and have been following this plan I have gotten a lot bigger now weighing 70kg and am 5'11 I hope to get more muscle till I'm satisfied with my results. Thank you this helped me so much through out the year
God are you huge. Way to go brother. I hope you get bigger and bigger safely
Cheers man for this video, can't wait to see more meals!
Will be sure to post more for you guys. Thanks for the feedback and support
Thank you Noel! I have been breaking my brain for a week on how to eat as cheaply as possible to get enough protein and satiation on a dime. I am disabled unable to exercise CFS/ME. I was lingering over ar Greg Doucette youtube this past week trying to piece it together. And then your name came up over there. And HERE you absolutely gave me THE template on HOW to exactly do this and do it for Zeeeeero! Skipping whey meal and adopting the other 3 meals gives me 1,373 calories (perfect) protein 89 (perfect) cost 3 bucks!!! I am 5'5" 150 lbs.
I think is this one of the most truthful people out here.
And this. This gentleman is a real influencer.
I’m a skinny 130 pound guy who finds it very hard to maintain a healthy diet. Thank you for this, I hope to see improvements on myself and many others
I highly recommend you count your calories. There is a lot of good information on r/gainit. Being perpetually skinny is almost always due to not eating enough food, genetics and metabolism can always be overcome with a calorie surplus. It'll be a hard transition to up your calorie intake by several hundred per day, but once you get used to it, you'll be gaining in to time. Just make sure to lift as well or else you'll just gain a bunch of fat :P
@@Vizaru Eating too much is tough. I'm 120lbs and I eat as much as I can (although I limit junk food to only twice a month). The thing is, I get full real quick.
It’s awesome to see you talk about a similar way to which I cook ^^ I make a lot of healthy balanced meals for really cheap and have been hoping to gain some strength recently !it’s nice to know I already have the food down !!
noel, my friends and i have recently started going back to the gym, and starting october we plan to really take it seriously, focus on our diet as well as training and get even a little bit as jacked as you are, i look up to you so much, so thanks for this, i will use this to further educate and help my friends reach our collective goal of becoming more like you!
If you want it bad, you will make it work with what ever you can find! Keep your heads up my Kings! Lest get it!!!!!
Somebody cast him in a Hollywood. This man deserves more success and exposure.
Ten pounds down in one week, very inspired by your videos. I have learned so much. Thanks for the push to do it! Time for some muscle gains!
Wow!! Nice work dude, keep it up 👊💪
Damn that’s fantastic, keep up the amazing work
I don’t think that’s even possible
@@nathanielprince9191 I’m a wrestler, can guarantee it’s possible. I’ve done 5 pounds in a day before. It’s hard, but possibly.
@@taylorowens3721 yea I'm a wrestler to but we gain that weight right back because were losing mostly water weight just so we can make weight
Noel, I've been watching your channel for a while and I just want to say thank you for helping to get me motivated again. Your videos are so clean, audio, video, and entertaining. Cooking meets advice and lifestyle. You are a great source of inspiration
This man just single handling improved my life, motivated me and erased a misconception out of me.
Seeing him struggle momentarily with the nutribullet made me feel capable of achieving his level one day. In my dreams lol
I like how this man is the furthest from broke and he’s making tutorials for broke people
Because he’s awesome like that 🙏
He had started from the bottom now he's here. He *Truly* values the essence of hard work, struggle, discipline and determination.
Dude, I love your content, and this is the cherry on top. You make me want to step my game up and get serious about being healthy and get into body building. Thank you for being the God sent man that you are.
Well done, sir. For us naturals out there, this is the true and only way to get lean, smart meal prep. and consistency in your macros + workouts.
Love these! For the chicken and steamed veggies, I changed it up a bit. I oven roasted the broccoli, potatoes, and carrots to get them crispy and tossed them in avocado oil and seasoning for added flavor (before roasting). I also rotate my protein. One week it’s chicken, then turkey, then beef, then bison, then frozen fish filets. That way I don’t get bored and I get a balanced diet. I’ve been able to up my muscle mass and cut my fat with meal prep. And this is coming from a broke ass adult working 50 hours a week
do you just do his meal plan and times it by 5 on like sunday?
@@dexate Yup! Just x5 and eat it for the week. That’s why I rotate the veggies and protein to keep from getting bored
This looks like what a normal meal should be for erveryone. Healthy nutritions and affordable
Except for the protein shake part, these meals were everyday dishes for 100 of years for everyone in Southeast Asia.
This video has saved my sanity on how to eat on a dime.
Bro who tf disliked this video???? This god keeps the video as informative as possible and I have never received better advice ever..... I know you’re helping people (me included) and you’re gonna help a lot more. Keep it up cause one day you’re really gonna blow up ( I know you already have on tik tok congratulations) amazing content 10/10
I've recently began my weight loss journey and I am really enjoying the road thus far. My main goal is bulking up and getting rid of the excess fat in my body, but I was really worried about the food that I'm told to eat(usually super expensive stuff), but seeing these affordable meal preps really motivates me to continue. Thank you so much for this helpful video, padre Noel!
Full time student, worker, and father. Thank you for posting this video Deyzel. Will be a little difficult to find time to workout, but I'll figure it out.
Thank u Noel I am from India moving to Canada for higher studies. my parents don't support me going to the gym. vedios about cheap meal prep will help me a lot. Your doing the lord's work.
oats,banannas,bagels,cream cheese
Why parents wouldn't support you going to the gym? Maybe I get it wrong, but sounds just stupid
Honestly, when im hungry i just make these and store them. Small portions of course so i dont eat too much as i stress eat alot. Its nice food ans calms me down. Not only good recipes for fitness but life in general. 9/10 since nothing will be as perfect as your help!
i like this guy. i wasnt expecting such soft spoken voice. love the clarity and how to-the-point the directions were.
Glad you brought up the cost of the whey protein, as that goes for a lot of foods. It lasts so long, and a scoop is full of protein and can pack up to 200 calories. People need to look at price tag less and see the serving. For one or even two people, it’s really good.🤟🏾
Yeah I'm in a support group for overeaters, this is really helping me to see that meal planning is possible and simple. Thanks a lot for breaking it down :)
Thanks to this man I’ve been getting back into exercising and healthy lifestyle, truly grateful
Went out and got everything, cooked it all, so satisfying man thank you for this!!
Thank you. This is an awesome video, I've been struggling with my diet plans and distribution but this is a game-changer. Thank you.
Noel crams in such good info in such a short amount of time. Most channels would turn this into a 20 min video
"Eggs are super cheap"
2023: Allow me to introduce myself
This is why i keep egg laying chicken lol
I now know how an actual Gentle Giant looks like .
Pro tip: Lentils aren't a complete protein by themselves, so eat with a grain to get a complete amino acid profile.
Mixed lentils are available to complete the amino acid profile. Give it a try.
Or any animal protein
@@john0094 reason they're using lentils is for the price, thats the point of the vid lol animal proteins generally cost more
grain like what?
@@harshittewari2298 Rice or roti
This was actually a very informative video. Thanks man

Cocaine based diet
@@JocaIdrone dayum 🤣
@@JocaIdrone What do you mean? Cocaine is expensive af, if you tried to make a joke it didn't work cuz Colombia is the one with the Cocaine
Have you tried getting gains
@Im right Your wrong nah, you don't make enough money from that game, it's a myth
Man in less than a year prices for these have gone up a bunch. Still extremely cost effective.
Example: chicken breasts are at least $2.1/lb at walmart for the walmart junk and $3/lb for slightly higher quality. Lentils are $1.25/lb. Eggs now like $1.50/dozen. Quality whey protein is at least $1/serving now.
Overall 25-40% increases in cost.
Stop voting for Democrats. They hate you, and they hate America. You will pay more for everything to fund their goals that have NOTHING to do with the people of this nation.
