Just wondering fava beans tofu has only fava beans in it. But from a muscle building perspective I feel it’s inadequate as just fava beans don’t suffice from complete amino acid profile as they are low with methionine.
I love that you stick to the basics most of the time. Because that is realistic for most people working a „normal“ job. You diet is no sprint nor a marathon. It is a walk until you die (literally).
I love all your content ❤️ My husband introduced me. I couldn't help notice that calcium was 47% of the RDA and sodium nearly 3000mg. If I'm not mistaken WHO recommends 1500mg as an upper limit. Personally I find calcium a challenging target to hit unless tofu, lots of dark leafy greens and fortified milk is included. Would love to see a video that focuses on hitting calcium RDA targets on a plant based diet, with low sodium because the kidneys excretes precious calcium stores to get rid of excess sodium, so it is a double whammy for the body. Your content is engaging and entertaining as always. From two fans in South Africa ❤
Thanks for all your information I am 80 years old and I’m living a healthy life but you Are giving me more information about vegan combining pro Tien plant base. Thanks.
This weather kills me too! I suffer from really crippling seasonal depression. Upping my vitamin D in the winter months has helped, and I do my best to stay active instead of just sitting in a hot bath or hiding under a blanket. I workout (lift and/or higher intensity cardio) in the morning and every evening I hop on my spin bike or treadmill for a good 30-50 minutes.
I eat pumpkin seeds and nutritional yeast now almost daily as part of my protein because it's so delicious, healthy and I learned from you in your other video that it's actually a good source of protein!
I made the sauce and added it to a red lentil pasta / black bean and green apple salad. I added a little red wine vinegar and olive oil to the salad and then added the sauce. Super Good!
I average around 65 grams a day, female, 5'2, 135 pounds, lean weight goal 125 pounds, 46.5 years old, workout daily for about 1hr ( multiple training varies by day) , and I get 5000 to 10,000 steps a daily.
I love your content! I have been vegan for around 5 years, and recently found out I am intolerant to soy so some of your older videos focussing on high protein, soy free recipes have been awesome ✌️
These recipes are amazing! It’s so inspiring to see how easy it can be to get high-protein vegan meals that are both delicious and great for staying fit. Love how you included the macros too-super helpful! Definitely trying these out!🥰
My favorite format, your What I Eat In A Day, it is even better with the nutrients. So I can learn something about macros. Thank you. Perhaps ypu can also show us a full week or a few days of your eating.❤
Everything looks so yummy! I'm travelling right now and finding variety that's not extortionate priced is tricky so I'm living vicariously through you with these delicious meals!!! That cashew cheesy sauce and faba bean tofu!!! Also just a smoothie! I'm drooling.... also no greens in the smoothie! Hahaa loved this video. Thank you as always
Derrick, missed your great videos. TH-cam kicked you off my feed a couple of years ago. Missed watching your delishious meal making. Keep up the great works. Blessings to you and Amanda!
Maaaan the gains are strong with you bro - it’s inspiring. Love these meal combos. Especially dinner. I keep trying to find that variety of kale! No luck yet but hope to try it soon.
Love your videos as always! Is there a chance you can do a video on gaining weight as someone with a high metabolism? My dad (vegan) and boyfriend (mixed eater), both struggle with this. They are both lean and work construction/outdoor/active jobs. Finding a meal prep book that’s simple, affordable, but high in protein, carbs all that good stuff is difficult… Thanks for all you do!🙃
I’m absolutely dying for a morning smoothie bowl ! I’m in Europe right now and haven’t had a smoothie bowl in almost two weeks. I can’t wait to get back home and fire up the vitamix , and those two dishes you made looked awesome!🎉
Great looking meals! I just bought that Primavera Veg Mix because of your recommendation. Can’t wait to try your recipe with it. Thanks, Derek (for all your advice) and Crystal (for all the filming).❤❤
Great video. Really enjoy your sauces and dressings and how you make delicious food so fast and easy to make. Just bought some of the fava bean tofu and can't wait to try it; amazed that it has zero carbs and so much protein!
Another great video! I love that you made a point of moving again in the afternoon, it can be hard after a long day at work, but I find when I do, I feel much better for it! Also love that you didn’t go crazy high with the protein intake. It’s high, but not unreasonable. Another great vid guys❤❤❤ I would’ve loved to have seen the fibre content too! Usually without trying I manage to hit 100g protein on plant based diet
The way you can always come up with a meal that looks super tasty but also something new and different is like ASMR for my eyes. These look so good. I can't wait to get my hands on that new e-book!
Oh my gosh, I'm so loving the soy free tofu!! I have a horrible soy allergy, so being vegan has been difficult. I'm hoping to get back to 100% vegan by the end of the year. 🤞 Love your channel!!! 💙❤️
It's so good! they also have a new Root vegetable mix by the same company that sells the frozen roasted veg mix I used in the video. Also very good! haha
Great video! I am trying to get more protein and I don’t usually get more than 80 grams and that’s about as high as I can go without going over my calories. Everything looked so tasty much appreciated ❤
Binge watching your videos. Ok 👏 gonna try wfpb again. I kinda didn't think I could do it and hit the protein I need to but obviously you are rocking it so... teach me yoda 😂 thank you SO much for your youtube channel, excited to go all-in on this and see what happens.
(I tried wfpb a while back but it didnt stick. and have been a fan of your channel for a while just cuz it's good vibes. But feeling motivated to actually make a plan and a grocery list & actually join in. Let's goooo 👏😎)
"Eating only plants" - I don't eat animal products, but I do eat fungi in addition to plants. Fungi - mushrooms and the mycelium in tempeh - are tasty, and Derek Sarno has shown how a grilled large mushroom (using his technique with two cast-iron skillets) can be very like a steak. The important thing is that fungi are the primary source of the protein ergothioneine, which is extremely beneficial.
@@lindsaytoussaint Since the emphasis here is on protein, I think it's worth noting that a very beneficial protein (ergothioneine) comes not from plants but from fungi.
Thank you for sharing your amazing energy brother 🤍🌱💪 awesome video, inspiring as always ! Even if I still wonder how you manage to get all this muscle gains eating so little considering the time you spend training 😮
Still have to get used to your new look 😊 I did a body scan recently and apparently my daily calorie requirement is 1500 calories. I find it so difficult to not go over that and still have enough protein and all the other good stuff. Trying to lose weight while replacing fat with muscle
7:52 leftover starchy carbs like pasta, potatoes, when they're refrigerated and then reheated creates resistant starch, which is haute-cuisine for your good bacteria in your intestines. So now I'm wondering if pasta made from legumes (like red lentil pasta) does the same thing.
Thanks again for another great informative video. Question: do you ever use the plant based “milks” I notice you always use water in your smoothies. Thank You
Yes I have a couple of ebooks and releasing a new Sauce & Dressings ebook in the next couple days! Check my website simnettnutrition.com if you want to check them out! I’m stoked you’re interested! Much appreciated.
Awesome. Frozen meat alternatives tend to be high in sodium, so my preference would have been to eat more of the red lentil pasta instead. I typically get 100g protein on a daily caloric intake of over 2000.
I've been vegan for eons but am freshly obsessed with cramming in protein to see if it'll fix a couple of issues. I'm very small but shoving down about 110-112 grams a day on average now and THAT'S hard. I'm not a volume eater so I do have to use a lot of protein supplements.
That is almost as much as I take in over a day as male that lifts weights 6 days per week. Pretty close build to Simnett, just a little taller but we weight almost the same. Let you are a serious athlete that is a lot of protein for a female. I believe the optimum where you don't really see any more benefit from is is 1.6g per kg. I would also use your targeted bodyweight and not actual if you are trying to lose fat or if one is already slender and trying to add a couple kg of muscle, then bump the protein up by 1.6g per kg muscle mass you want.
@@mjs28s But I'm a huge 87-88 lbs. and hyperactive! Yes...I'm really that small. :-) I'm probably overdoing it. I'm looking up protein info right now. I just saw an interesting short video on Plant Based Science London about how vegans DO need more than the often touted 0.8 grams per kilogram of weight during times of stress, illness, and wound healing. I also saw this elsewhere, "Nutritional Guidelines suggest a daily intake of 1.6 and 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram, or .73 and 1 grams per pound to lose weight. Athletes and heavy exercisers should consume 2.2-3.4 grams of protein per kilogram (1-1.5 grams per pound) if aiming for weight loss." So, even at the 2.2 grams level, I'm going overboard with my intake. Today will be 117 grams of protein...not including some extra stuff like what's in veggies, grains, etc.
This helps my protein anxiety I'm developing from reading fitness stuff. If someone jacked like you doesn't sweat about not getting 200g of protein DAILY then maybe I can relax a bit as a gym casual.
Hello, thanks for the video. To sustain health and building muscle mass. How many calories do you normally eat per day and what ratio of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats do you use on our normal basis
Hey Derek, another great video. Instead of using the processed Gardien Chicken strips, would TVP Curls be just as tasty, easy to cook but without so much sodium? Would appreciate your thoughts. Thx
Simnett, somehow your shaved head makes you look more ripped than ever!! 💪 I've been giving myself short buzzcuts as my bald era is approaching, so thanks for showing us that if you look after yourself you can look awesome without hair, from a future fellow baldsman 💚
Excess protein can increase likelihood of kidney stones but no link is there with creatine. If kidney function is compromised creatine should be avoided or used with monitoring from a health professional. 👊
Yo Derek, is there a reason you dont use as much bananas on your smoothie lately? Just curious as I eat lots of bananas as well. Thanks for the content, love your work!
haha no serious reason! I used to have like 10 bananas in my smoothie, haha! That was years ago. Right now, I'm making my smoothies slightly smaller just because I love eating to just saving room/calories for other meals lol
@@Simnettnutrition Shoot! I couldn't find them there yesterday. Maybe it's only certain locations or seasonal. I"ll definitely keep my eye out though! Thanks!
OMG, I have got to find those kalettes (why are they not called brussale krouts or something). I am a huge brussel sprout fan, so these would be a top pick for me. 😜😝 Have you tried the dried brussel sprouts (like potato chip style) from WalMart? OMG, I had them once and ate the whole container! They were way better than all other chips! 💯 Anyway, I wish you would do a food seminar in the US that people could come to. After meeting my fave Canadian band a few weeks ago (☆☆☆☆☆Autumn Kings☆☆☆☆☆), I can verify that Canadian men are hundreds of times nicer than American men! 😉😆
Man I hate ab workouts. I always do drop sets for my abs but I never feel like I challenge my abs enough, because even at high reps it doesn't feel super demanding.
Im a bit confused with the whole “whole foods” thing and how this promotes muscle growth over a macro-equivalent “processed food”. I feel like I always hear whole food good processed food bad but I never know actually why that is besides it being intuitive on the surface. Can someone explain? 1:05
Processed food generally lacks in other nutrients including fiber and contains chemicals and often added sugars which are all awful for you. They can obliterate your gut micro biome.

Isn’t that process food super high in sodium?
@@sunflower8599 My thoughts exactly.
I always appreciate the Cronometer scroll. So many people focus solely on the macros and forget the micros! Love these videos. 💪💚🌱
Awesome! thanks for watching :D
For real! You never hear bodybuilder talking about micro nutrients
That fava bean tofu changed my life! Recently found it at the store and as someone wirh a soy intolerance it has made being vegan soooo much easier.
It's so good! I love it!
Pumfu is good too and made from pumpkin seeds
It is so good! I alternate between the fava bean tofu and soy tofu. It’s great to have an alternative high protein source!
Just wondering fava beans tofu has only fava beans in it. But from a muscle building perspective I feel it’s inadequate as just fava beans don’t suffice from complete amino acid profile as they are low with methionine.
Using Soft/Silken Tofu as a base for salad dressings is great to increase your protein intake too. I use it instead of cashews.

OMG, I have got to find those kalettes (why are they not called brussale krouts or something). I am a huge brussel sprout fan, so these would be a top pick for me. 😜😝
Have you tried the dried brussel sprouts (like potato chip style) from WalMart? OMG, I had them once and ate the whole container! They were way better than all other chips! 💯
Anyway, I wish you would do a food seminar in the US that people could come to. After meeting my fave Canadian band a few weeks ago (☆☆☆☆☆Autumn Kings☆☆☆☆☆), I can verify that Canadian men are hundreds of times nicer than American men! 😉😆
I have never tried dried Brussel sprouts! That sounds so interesting.
I need to look for those kalettes (is this how you spell it ??)
Yes I think so
Can you tell me where you bought both the kalettes and the soy free tofu (I live in your area). Thanks.
The Kalettes are from Costco and the soy free tofu is by Big Mountain foods, I buy it from Choices Market or Save one
@Simnettnutrition Thank you!

Man I hate ab workouts. I always do drop sets for my abs but I never feel like I challenge my abs enough, because even at high reps it doesn't feel super demanding.
Im a bit confused with the whole “whole foods” thing and how this promotes muscle growth over a macro-equivalent “processed food”. I feel like I always hear whole food good processed food bad but I never know actually why that is besides it being intuitive on the surface. Can someone explain? 1:05
Processed food generally lacks in other nutrients including fiber and contains chemicals and often added sugars which are all awful for you. They can obliterate your gut micro biome.
Dude you're looking so jacked! Great content!
Thank you!
