Want to know exactly what Mat Fraser was consuming daily during peak training and competition?! In this episode Mat Fraser and Sammy Moniz, founder of Feeding the Frasers, sit down in the kitchen and talk through a full day of eating. They were shocked to see how much food was actually being eaten each day. They talk about their approach to food and how they balanced food as fuel and eating to perform.

It really can't be overstated how critical Sammy and her management of Mat's food was to his success. They both worked very hard together to make that a success. It's a percentage contribution to his success that few other athletes have.
Also, this is a high quality ass video. My god, all the other fitness TH-camrs doing "a full day of eating" should take note.
The EPITOME of how to be physically as well as emotionally, supportive and present for your significant other!
Almost all of the high level games athletes have some form of food help like this
Nothing to do with diet at all. Jesus christ, every competitor was eating good food.
@@mikasd9 There's a huge difference between having a food delivery service like Trifecta and having a Sammy Moniz.
Sammy truly deserves her own network cooking show
RIGHT!!!
She really is sooo cool!
Having tried several of the recipes she post... I agree.
This is a prime example of: “Behind every GOOD man there’s a GOOD woman”.
This is prime example of:
"Find someone that will complement your life and will help you achieve your goals so you both can enjoy the benefits"
Mat found an awesome partner and he knows it as well, he's stated that a lot on other videos.
Nothing wrong with going at it alone. Alot of partners dont care. But i dont agree that the woman cooks up his food. Why cant he do it himself? Milliions of people doing it.
Yeah he is the fittest but damn make your own, it will show your lady you a complete man. Plus doesnt she have to raise the kids while he is gone? Mmmmh
@@conradduplooy6570 they don’t have kids
@Bryan Gordon oh so you are aware of their financial status as well huh?
@@antonisgikas6214 Mat is sponsored by Nike, Rogue, as well as a few other nutrition and fitness companies. Not to mention any earnings he got from comps. I don’t think Bryan’s comments are that far fetched buddy.
This was 49 minutes and 12 seconds of watching an amazing person love someone. As far as I'm concerned, Sammy is Mat's most important sponsor. GREAT episode
Word!
That woman is his backbone. Plain and simple!
“Write that down Patrick! WRITE IT DOWN!!!” - every games athlete to their coach/spouse/partner watching this video
Was just about to comment this 😂
😂😂😂
Can't believe how much of a LEGEND Sammy is. What a hero !!
Mat is very lucky to be with someone so careful
I can't even begin to explain my amazement listening to all of this. Matt had such a solid team backing him. Holy cow.
Agreed. I respect all his accomplishments and commitment...BUT dam, he is truly blessed to have a support team love him and back him up like that! (especially Sammy..!)
I would like to hear Sammies side of the journey. There must have been challenges and frustrations over the years because if not going to functions or movies or whatever couples do or did she go anyway and do them with friends. And if there how did she work through them.
I'm 5 minutes in and I can say: This is the best "Full Day of Eating" I have ever seen! Ever! It's not just "Im eating this and that at this time of the day". It's a layout of a strategic eating plan :D
"Just- eat it. Eat it, Phyllis. Dip it in the water so it'll slide down your gullet more easily." - Matt O'Keefe channeling Michael Scott
Yes! I've been waiting for this. Well done Mat and Sammy. This is phenomenal!
thanks Tyler, glad you enjoyed it!
Sammy is a frickin legend
Sammy is a natural when doing an interview! Great work
"my serving of rice now is so cute"
NO, YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE
Yesss I love them 😩❤️
When he said that I was immediately like OMG HE'S SO CUTE
lolol
Such an adorable thing to say 🤣🤣😌💜
He went most of his career ensuring no-one knew what his training schedule was or how he ate or how he did his accessory work etc. 5 years of absolute dominance later and now in retirement Mat just turns around and is like "I won because I worked twice as hard as everyone else and ate whatever I wanted" Turns out burning 6,000 calories on a games day means you can eat 17 cheeseburgers and it really isn't gonna matter.
Plus the abuse of peds which is rampant among the CrossFit community/athletes
@Richard de Villiersmy choice of words is irrelevant because I accept the fact that pro athletes use peds. They help them recover and play better. Pro athletes are still 99.99% better than the general public so I only complain because it was made illegal in the first place. These athletes are gifted let them compete and be the best they can be. It’s only a problem when the governing bodies make it one.
@Richard de Villiers You personally know what every single crossfitter is pinning? Your statement is asinine.
@@mistahozzy So fucking what? It's simple game theory mechanics. If you want to make it to the top and other people are doping, you will dope as well.
I would say it’s the same as 17 cheeseburgers, the quality of the food matters. Sammy made it very varied
i've just spent 49 minutes of my life watching a video about someone i've never met's diet. applause to Sammy, Mat and all those involved for producing such engaging, interesting and professional content. btw am craving snickers now.......:-)
This is the greatest piece of content I have ever consumed
It’s like a cooler version of a food network show, mixed with crossfit.
Keep this stuff coming!!!!!!
It's really cool to see how "normal" you two are and how you were figuring everything out... really cool you sharing the wisdom you gained through the last few years, appreciate you sharing in a very "real", down to earth way...great teamwork for amazing results!
What a great video. I rolled my eyes when I saw the length...but now I wish it was longer. Top notch
Makes me wonder how many of the athletes will change up their eating routine at the games now. It’s so interesting listening to the 5x champ reveal his secrets like the “protein bars” during the games lol.
Thanks for all the insights into all the circumstances leading to the different food choices. Really appreciate Matt sharing his struggles juggling everything. Sammy you are one of the major pillars to Matt's success! And you are glowing...
Seriously where is sammy’s trophy 🏆 she’s fitness cook on earth 🌍 FIVE TIMES 🙌🏽
So basically what you’re telling me is that I can eat as much food as I possibly can as long as I train like Mat Fraser.
I would have to quit my job to workout like him, and even then I don’t think I could do that much training
What a fun day that would be 😁
Yeah dude, it’s about Net Calories, not just Input calories. The amount that Mat works mostly likely yields a caloric deficit since he works out up to three times a day and the occasional caloric surplus when he’s just heavy lifting. But in a nutshell, yes
The average person isn’t training like he does. The average person wouldn’t be able to handle the volume that he does.
Such good energy, you two.. This open and honest conversation just made this video so inviting; it really felt like we were there in the kitchen with you.
PS; kitchen looks fab! :)
Love this.. sammy is such a great interviewer.
Sammy is so well spoken. Very nice to hear her speak. Great work!
what a team ! you guys are amazing ! It's amazing how Mat's success couldn't happen without Sam! love you
I am such a fan of what Mat did over the years. This was eye opening, I knew that he ate a lot during the season, but I didn't know that he continued to eat and even ate more during the games. Additionally, the disdain they have for people not eating during the games is hilarious and I would imagine is eye opening to athletes who were starving themselves or only eating dry chicken and broccoli.
My favorite thing about this video is that Mat and Sammy broke down all instafit crash diets within one hour. Obviously this is a unique case for the fittest in history but still, everything in moderation. Eat what you enjoy, eat to fuel and eat to live. Thank you Mat and Sammy, my pizza this weekend is going to taste that much sweeter. Also, sorry Mat, but go Sammy. A race car won't move an inch without fuel.
I love this. Especially at the end describing how others were talking about food they denied themselves whereas he just ate what he wanted.
Kitchen came out great guys! I remember when you guys were just looking at the plans of how you wanted to make your kitchen.
I thought the same and I’m so glad they didn’t angle the island.
Never realized your title was "Fittest man in History". I love it! I can't wait for more Fraser inspired Nike gear!!
Awesome how Sammy navigated the whole thing! :D
Sammy's a great mediator😄🙌
She is amazing
What does Sammy eat in her normal day?? We all want that video! You both guys are amazing! Sammy is what makes the difference in Matt's performance
Great insight to your diet and proves Sammy was the golden ticket to 5 titles in a row. Behind every great man is a great woman.
Mate your missus is a fricking legend. The girl deserves just as much accolades, 100% a good example of behind every good man is an even better woman. Hell of a team/couple, you guys compliment each other so very well 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I see how strong yet such a gentle soul he is, wishing him the best of luck💙
Wow. Sammy is really good at speaking on camera. Thanks for the video!
14:37 I love her smile remembering how great of a team they were
Sam's cooking is absolutely amazing. I could not sit there talking for 45 minutes with all that delicious food. My god.
Watching this reminds me of how my husband described how he ate before we were married, gas station nutrition. 💕
We all need a Sammy in our lives! She is so sweet
Dang this is a whole movie! Love the details that went into this schedule.
Gotta love the honesty from Mat on the dreaded feeling of eating when not hungry 😅
For all of the years of TH-cam I had like 3 to 5 comments... And again the time has come to comment once more:) Thank you for this video, and the work you two (and all the other people involved in this) did, to make us have like an hour of enjoyment. Keep up the good work!
P. S. : just a kind reminder, that you have fans all around the world, and I think maybe I'm not the only one who doesn't know what are the common names as Hungry man dinner or other foods. And maybe you could make the videos even more informative and fun showing us more ditails.
I like how they talk to each other like they are homies. Good vid, good channel, keep the vids coming!
I am currently in love with the thick cut apple wood smoked bacon from Costco but will be heading to Trader Joes to give the Frasers' bacon a go!
There is no exaggeration is saying Sammy was 50% of the reason behind Fraser's winning streak. Yes he worked harder than anyone else so that the other 50%. But with Sammy, it's the food, it's her dedicating all her time to his needs, it's I'm sure being not put first for those 5 years. Sammy is awesome and and Matt is SO lucky to have her.
Waiting on a Feeding the Frasers X Ben & Jerry's flavor! Snickers, peanut butter + chocolate ice creams, pretzel?
Honestly I adore Sammy she deserves so much credit for how incredible Mat is
He talks about his nutrition the same way he knew the exact price of every piece of equipment in his home gym. This is a person who put a huge amount of effort into being an expert at his craft.
He did his due diligence at every aspect, it seems. Every little 1%.
Can't believe this started with a small video of Feeding the Frasers! Proud of where you've gotten.
You have NO IDEA how Long i've been waiting for this!! Thank you!!
Sammy is such a natural on camera/explaining things clearly! ⭐️
if your food doesnt give you PTSD, youre not training hard enough..
Preach! The hardest part of being athlete i reckon. The training's the fun part! Eating 5000 calories a day on the other hand.
Sammy...you are heaven sent! This was incredibly interesting to watch.
I like that they both say "we" often. Really are a team
I love this long-form content! Super interesting and informative.
Sammy and Matt are such inspirations.
Call me someone who needs instant gratification, but how did you sit in front of all this food for 40 minutes and not just take one bite? It's all so incredible looking. That sandwich just looks so warm & crunchy, yet cold and savory on the inside. The bagel. So simple, yet looks so perfectly toasted and that bacccccon. That steak?! ugh. Sammy, you are a genius.
So simple but looks so great.
Almost an hour of info on diet. This is why I love you guys and this channel. Detailed!
I love seeing all the hype Sammy is getting in these comments! I had NO IDEA how much work she put in, I’m glad they getting her part of the story, and partially told from Matt.
Sammy you are born to be in front of the camera! This was so interesting tha k you both!
So much love for you guys! What a great team!
I'm a year late to the party on this video, but would have also loved to hear about how eating for a sport without weight classes differs from something like olympic weightlifting. They kinda hinted at it at the end when talking about how some athletes were eating rice and chicken during the games while Mat was eating whatever he wanted pretty much
Lovely to see you guys talking like this... Wow - I need to start talking to my wife like this... Good luck!
Sammy cracks a pizza joke….Matt takes it so literal 😂
This is an incredibly informative video. Thanks so much for putting this one together.
I wonder what vegan protein he used??? Fun video. Good job to Sammy for being the cook and of course Matt for eating!
I think this was one of the key points in Mat's success, seems like he's the only crossfitter who actually ate REAL FOOD. I've seen the very same video for other athletes and they use to eat just garbage.
I love how real the diet is. It's tasty food that hits what you need. The only thing is that the idea that dairy is inflammatory is unsupported by the data and the available research. Unless you have a diagnosed intolerance, there is no evidence that it increases inflammation. In fact the opposite is supported by the data - that the fat and protein that it contains (or anything like that would) will aid recovery and reduce inflammation
I want one sammy in my life !!!!
Thats a hella lot of Snickers. They should sponsor you
I bet a lot of people will copy this, and then, gets trapped with extra weight. 😅
That was so well produced and explained 🙌
Sammy: What do you want to eat ?
Mat: YES
All the times we appreciated Mat we were wrong. It’s the team Fraser that must be appreciated. Sammy you are special. So are you Mat. But the sum is bigger than you individually. Thanks for the good information you’re packing and sharing with us.
It would be super awesome to see your stretching and mobility routine. I'm realizing the older I get the more important that aspect of fitness becomes for me. Thank ya muchly.
Google GoWod Mobility
@@robinsoncet Thanks, I know there are plenty of resources out there but I want to see his routine specifically.
His favorite stretches, tools, when he does what and why, how often and for how long- all that good stuff.
@@tylerscott6640 ya maybe he will explain in his videos. But he is sponsored by GoWod so maybe it's close?
You are blessed🙏Some of us have to cook and prep all our meals.
I wish I could meet women like Sammy. Not because she does so much stuff for Mat, but because she is so supportive. A true friend, wife and feminine energy. Very refreshing.
I love the relationship between them. Love this. Good info. 💯👏💖💃👍
I am going through a divorce right now and I am feeling shitty but seeing this interaction between those two amazing people makes me realise that this is how a relationship should be, both working hard towards a goal and both have each others back which I lacked in my marriage. It feels good to see this now. Keep up the good work guys.
"the ingredients to make the perfect crossfit athlete"....................... and maybe clear out an entire supermarket
I need to know more about these freezer cookies.
Legit one of my life regrets is not seeing Tia and Matt in the Games😓. You guys are awesome!! Glad u get to enjoy the fruits of all that hard work both Sammy an Matt put in.
Same. We were supposed to go last year but of course Covid changed all of that. I’ll always be sad about that.
@@giovannarandolph5454 lol yea that sucks pretty bad....
WOW! My stomach started hurting imagining eating all of this food! Props to Sammy for being there for Mat! I don't blame Mat for wanting to retire and "enjoy" life. Great video!
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!! Sammy is Great!!!! Sammy you should have your own Food Channel with Crossfit!💚
We is smaller already, not a bad thing... just shows how important Sammy is... behind every good men has always a great women.
Bro, Motts can't touch Welch's fruit snacks. lol. Thanks for the great content guys!
Dude, Sammy is the real champion. What an amazing wife that is 1000% ride or die. I am very lucky to have a similar wife but Sammy is almost robotic ride or die, which is just something the wild has never seen before. Hats off to Sammy.
This was fascinating. Such a great couple. 👏👏
I think because of this video many, many people will stop starving themselves
I find it really interesting that Mat struggled so much with the amount of food and felt like he was force feeding himself but they weren't actually aiming for a calorie or macro goal? You watch the male crossfit athletes now start bulking haha. Another thing - hearing all of Mat's stories now about his experiences whilst he was at the top goes to show just how much you have to sacrifice to be the best.... crossfit was literally his WHOLE life for years. There's not many who can make that level of commitment. You can why he has retired, he needs to start living.
meal 2, mat is like salivating, sammy smiling the whole way. haha
Super awesome video. Would love more reflection from you guys on everything Mat did to prepare.
I’m in love with mini Shredded wheats as well. Great snac as well as relatively clean carb source.
The perfect couple! thanks for this talk
Absolute teamwork. Enjoy the fruits of your labor...no pun intended! 😁
