Three things I have learned that are super helpful for me are one: clean as you go. Don't give yourself a pile of dishes to do at the end. Two: stay focused on the prep. Don't do other things while you are prepping that are distracting. If you find yourself idle find something else you can start, finish, or clean. It will keep your mind clear and on top of what you are doing. Three: enjoy it! Put on some music and jam, listen to a podcast, maybe a movie in the background or something (unless it tends to distract you). Just remember building a habit is always going to be difficult but once it is built it is just like brushing your teeth!
@@2112jp It depends on the specifics of the diet, like varying macronutrient levels, but 5,000 calorie diets are not exclusive to bodybuilders: powerlifters, strongman competitors, competitive swimmers, triathletes, etc consume calories in that range. I’d say bodybuilders use those calories most efficiently, though, because they’re actually going towards building mass and sculpting a physique, as opposed to simply being burned or stored as fat. Powerlifters and strongmen have the 2nd most efficient usage.
For sure man👊🏼it is honestly therapeutic for me. Doing my routine in the kitchen, podcast on my speaker, cats watching my every move lol and thinking of the lean sexy gains to come👊🏼🔥
this dude threw the chicken on the grill w no seasoning lol. for yall that don't like suffering, i suggest throwing it in a huge bowl and seasoning w lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and maybe some oregano or thyme. You can also switch this up weekly. Maybe some onion powder, maybe some rosemary, maybe bbq sauce one week. do not cook plain chicken lol.
What do bodybuilders have against seasoning their food? It doesn’t have to be plain chicken and chicken plain rice. Food doesn’t have to taste boring forever to be healthy
@@ProcSteady maybe he get inspired by them and cook some of it or maybe he cook for his family just because he is not an gym person doesn't mean he should't watch the videos maybe he is sick or sm all but not a weirdo
My favourite bodybuilder to learn from. Always appreciate your content Evan. I know it was a long time ago now, but I hope you are recovered from your old knee injury.
This dude actually has a really good channel. He takes the time to inform and teach us about the fitness industry most are not doing this love this channel
These are the only real bodybuilding videos I watch. Because diet matters the most out of everything and learning how to cook (unhealthy or healthy) is a skill that so many lack nowadays. For every fitness enthusiast/bber I see eating those pre-made meals they could save probably 65% if they'd just learn to meal prep. Obviously, Evan does a more high end meal prep. He's earned that through having a successful career a bodybuilder and being smart with his money. Evan is a great example of someone that everyone in BB should look up to. He's serious about his longevity, his job and seems to live a complete life outside of the sport.. He and John (RIP) are two of my favorite guys that I've followed throughout my fitness/bb journey.
Thank you! I just found your channel. Today is my first time meal prepping. I’ve always gotten away from doing so and years later I’m seeing the truth of the matter. When I’m hungry, I’m hungry and that leads to bad food choices or starving which is even worse.
1st time here, Thanks Evan ! My Son is a Sgt in the United States Army 🇺🇸 but he's also married with 7 kids so large family 😊. So this will truly help him and his Soldiers with a Meal Prep Method that's so time ⏲️ efficient ! Thanks again and Blessings to you and your Family.
Oh man, I am loving this prospective. I've been trialing how much land it takes to grow enough grain, to feed chickens to get eggs, as well as testing supplementary methods towards reducing grain requirements by feeding them worms and rotating pasture in order to get more nutritional eggs. And that's just to get eggs, let alone all of the cornish cross chickens it takes to get this bulked. I found it takes about 10ft x 2ft of grain production land to feed 10 chickens to get about 7-8 eggs a day. I'm 150lb 6'2" tall and have been this weight for over 16 years, but my diet has been on the low calorie side from a era when I budgeted to grow my business, now I am ready to focus on bulking up and have more energy stored within me, I'm tired of having an "efficient" calorie diet. This diet is pretty much what I eat already but I stick to no grains, more nuts and pork and oyster mushrooms (8gram protein per pound) instead of chicken, and at probably 1/16th the amount you eat. I do grow 100% of my own vegetables which are often a large cost factor. My suggestion is look into Microgreens, you can grow them very easily, no daily maintenance on an NFT hydroponic setup, takes me one hour a week to produce 8lb of microgreens, and each 2ounce package I sell is equivalent to 2.5# of broccoli/cabbage in nutrition.
I really like combining two things to save time. Meal prep plus watching series or movies on my ipad works great for me. Enjoyment plus duty, great time saver.
Finally another „cooking with evan“ video i‘ve enjoyed a lot. In my opinion, he is one of the most mind weaponed bodybuilder in the game. Much love from austria.
Love this break down. It shows the cost,dedication and how. Unfortunately your one week food and budget would feed my family of 5 for nearly a month. But now I know what it truly takes. Thanks!
What i’ve been looking for. Clear, concise, and got the point across. I’ll be eating less and seasoning more, but i don’t know how anyone can go wrong following this to a T.
Evan mentioned frozen vegetables and I couldn't agree more, sometimes frozen vegetables tend to be better quality than fresh ones. For instance, I buy frozen spinach and artichokes. Usually, I try to switch vegetables based on the season, for instance in the summer I tend to go for more iceberg or lettuce compared to cruciferous which I consume autumn,winter and in the spring. To quote Evan if food is an afterthought, your life's an afterthought.
@pinco pallo I don't say frozen is better yet if I wish to have broccoli in the summer I'd rather have it frozen, I prefer switching to each season's fresh vegetables.
It's not about if he believes. It's just basically the only sustainable way for most people.. Most people can't eat 6 different meals a day for 20 years.. So everybody will end up cooking a lot of meat, rice/potatoes. Make portions and it's done..
This is the ticket, real deal Evan’s skill on meal prep! I’ve been waiting for this series. Many thanks for posting and please do keep posting videos more often, love it and practical to follow, and educational!
thank you, Evan! This is really helpful, I noticed you use hot water from the tap and wanted to provide a word of caution for viewers since hot water typically gets processed from tanks/boilers which have metallic parts that erode into the water so it may be better to start with cold tap water (even though it may take a little longer to cook). Thanks again for the video and I wish everyone here success!
Exactly !! I thought the same thing !! Maybe he's never seen the water that comes out of a tank when it's drained. Idk, but I like all his videos anyway. Just hope he sees your comment.
YES! the chef is back. Very happy to see Evan's coming back more often. edit: just half way through the video and I already have information overflow (the grams/ounces...etc)... very dense video! I love it.
8:46 I definitely agree with you....if peoplecan spend 36 hours a week watching Netflix/ scrolling social media, they can sacrifice an hour for meal prep!
Great video, I agree, we all have time! I found a way that gets me into veggies. I use "fresh" like you say, how fresh? I don't have a wok but I have a large fry pan, I do 500g mushroom chopped, 2 or 3 medium zuchinni, baby carrots, a large onion, any combo of beans/bok choy/aspargus/snow peas - basically whatever stir fry veggies you like. Bell peppers (I don't like them)...over med heat I dry fry the carrots for 8-9 minutes, remove, dry fry the rest without the mushrooms for 5 mins, remove, dry fry the mushrooms until they shrink and are releasing water, then throw back all the veggies together, and the secret is a Chinese style sauce. I use 2 cups of salt free chicken stock, 2 rounded tablespoons corn starch, 1 tsp salt, lots of pepper/garlic/ginger/onion powder, any seasoning you like. Start with your starch in a bowl and just cover with stock. Whisk until smooth, add the remaining stock, and this gets poured into the veggies over low heat. In 3-5 minutes the stock thickens and looks just like restaurant veggies. Top with some toasted sesame seeds and I've found a way to love veggies. I have 200g of this along with 150g of various meat for breakfast and lunch.
Man, you really don't know how much I appreciate these videos! I wish you could make a version of this weekly! Maybe what you changed this week and why you changed it or maybe you got to the market and your normal X was out of stock so you had to go with Y, etc... I'm a huge fan of beef but living on a tiny island it is hard to find consistency. I cook a different kind of beef every day for me and my family, as well as at least 2 other meat sources. I'm always interested in what others do. And...I've learned that making fish in a Sous Vide changes everything! They can be PERFECT with no real work, never EVER dry. Fish is also great as long as you take it out and weight it into portions because it won't stay in tact when cooked sous vide (mostly). THANK YOU AGAIN!
wonder if Evan still grows his veg in his garden like he did a few years back. Remember too his morning protein pancakes which I made were absolutely yummy.
@@TheWoWBane try Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Mix with Salted Butter coating the pan before you pour mix. I think you won’t be disappointed if you haven’t tried that yet.
Centopani new vid...count me in , im not a bodybuilder but I lost good weight with this guy advices, now I watch all his vids...thanks from Portugal friend...
This is true! I also prepared my meals in about 1 hour. I eat the same every week and I don’t get tired. I prepared salmon with rice and vegetables for dinner. A salad for lunch or chicken with rice and vegetables. I even have to prepare my breakfast the previous night because I work from 5am to 4pm 4 days a week. So I cook eggs with spinach for breakfast. Thanks for more ideas .
Love listening! And yea last week, I prepared my meals for a week and it was much easier to stay on top with all the protein and nutrition instead of grabbing other choices. It’s great to know that my food is there for when I needed.
Evan. You’re my favorite bodybuilder to learn from. I’m not a big eater, so eating is hard for me. I tend to eat smaller portions throughout the day for results.
I've been prepping for a while but I kept running into the same issues so I decided to fix the problems once and for all. These are the solutions I came up with: 1. Buy a second freezer - now I can keep more ingredients before I run out and have to buy more 2. Order food online in bulk - this reduces physical trips to the supermarket and I can have delivered far more than I can carry riding my bicycle 3. Buy bigger saucepans - prepping is more efficient the more volume you can do at once, so I invested in more and bigger saucepans for cooking in 4. Prep fewer times - some tasks like getting everything out and cleaning up scale with the number of times you prep not the volume you prep, so prefer fewer longer prep sessions over more shorter sessions to save total time 5. Prep on weekends - by prepping on a weekend I can eliminate the chances of work getting in the way of having time to prep. Saturday mornings are blocked out for prepping. I think these will help me a lot because my biggest issues were running out of time mid-week to prep my next batch of meals, forgetting that I'd eaten the last meal and needed to prep more, and the supermarket being out of stock on a particular thing I needed. Next I want to experiment with different meal types to spice things up because I've basically been eating the same breakfast, lunch and dinner every day for years lol.
Always do my chicken in the instant pot with some marinade, so many choices (I love teriyaki) and it always comes out moist and delicious; also helps I can do close to 3-4 pounds at once.
i agree with everything except i would like a greeny green in there, you can boil some chard and even skip the salad making, keep like 3 pounds of boiled greens in the fridge and add 2 forks in every meal, the ''wetness'' of them make the meals go down easier also some spices wont hurt the rice, black pepper, nutmeg, paprika, turmeric, spearmint, all good all fun
Evan, love love your videos. I love that you focus on quality food. Keep up the good work. PS get rid of that Pam. I use avocado oil spray PSS PRO TIP = rinse your rice a few times and drain before you cook. It gets rid of half the starch so the grains stay separate and it’s not so gummy
Amazing tutorial! I’m not a bodybuilder just regularly work out, but this gave me great ideas to meal prep. Just wondering u don’t season your chicken?
Evan is the man. Ive always followed him. Calm easy going spirit, eats way cleaner than most bodybuilders and smart. I fell off of bodybuilding for years when I got sick and lost a lot of weight. I rebooted my health with a plant based diet. I will never be as big or strong eating this way but I feel better and thats all that matters. Personally I think my sickness was from excessive amounts of wheat grains and gluten
I can really appreciate the effort you put into this video. I this wasn’t no rush through 5 minute video. Some of us starting to really take body building serious can see the care you put into for the building community ! Great video .thanks !
Hey guys thanks Evan for this video! I’m going to do it tomorrow! I really appreciate you doing this.. as a student with work and other things that life throws at one it’s hard to spend time making food but now I got the key thanks again man!!
I could eat grilled curried chicken all week long. The only thing I would do differently is I'd split the rice up into half plain rice/ half tumeric rice. I am going to adapt a lot of what you do/ how you eat. Coming off of 3 years of extreme chronic illness, I am taking my diet and health seriously and making wellness a routine. Saying FUCK YOU to my past illness and getting SHREDDED bc I was built to overcome. Thanks for the inspiration.
Perfect video. Perfect overview/explanation. Thank you for this. I’ll definitely be following this program and following this channel now that I’ve stumbled upon it.
Best way is to have 3 exciting meals as Evan says most ppl eat three times a aday so have three exciting meals to some extent then the others just have something simpler to get the calories in
a lot of foodies and yelp reviewers for a living will easily spend an hour just in line for a table and waiting when eating out several times a week lol
Three things I have learned that are super helpful for me are one: clean as you go. Don't give yourself a pile of dishes to do at the end. Two: stay focused on the prep.

As a former cook I can tell this guy wouldn’t last an 8 hour shift in the line
this dude threw the chicken on the grill w no seasoning lol. for yall that don't like suffering, i suggest throwing it in a huge bowl and seasoning w lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and maybe some oregano or thyme. You can also switch this up weekly. Maybe some onion powder, maybe some rosemary, maybe bbq sauce one week. do not cook plain chicken lol.
Or do what the fuck you like.
Amen
What do bodybuilders have against seasoning their food? It doesn’t have to be plain chicken and chicken plain rice. Food doesn’t have to taste boring forever to be healthy
I can’t agree more with you
I don't have anything at all against it. I actually prefer it plain.
Yo, facts!
I was wondering this myself. Some Montreal chicken spice & lemon would change that up so much
If they enjoy it, it’s a healthier option. Most seasoning mixes have excess salt that leads to bloating, and chemicals like MSG.
Evan's laugh always cracks me up. Love these videos. He has a knack for conveying information clearly and concisely
Did he "FORGET" to talk about STEROIDS again?

Not sure why you would think that would be the case. Evan has NEVER ate that way...
Evan. You’re my favorite bodybuilder to learn from. I’m not a big eater, so eating is hard for me. I tend to eat smaller portions throughout the day for results.
I don’t lift but I love learning the behind the scenes when it comes to their diet. Health = wealth.
I Pretty much eat for size not for taste 😎
@@BUCKEYE614 no one asked lol xp OR you Just flexing on alle comments
@@choebalkop by the looks of your default picture you need to eat for size to 🤡
Bodybuilding is extremely unhealthy.
Did he "FORGET" to talk about STEROIDS again?
Stay natural buddy!
I've been prepping for a while but I kept running into the same issues so I decided to fix the problems once and for all. These are the solutions I came up with:
1. Buy a second freezer - now I can keep more ingredients before I run out and have to buy more
2. Order food online in bulk - this reduces physical trips to the supermarket and I can have delivered far more than I can carry riding my bicycle
3. Buy bigger saucepans - prepping is more efficient the more volume you can do at once, so I invested in more and bigger saucepans for cooking in
4. Prep fewer times - some tasks like getting everything out and cleaning up scale with the number of times you prep not the volume you prep, so prefer fewer longer prep sessions over more shorter sessions to save total time
5. Prep on weekends - by prepping on a weekend I can eliminate the chances of work getting in the way of having time to prep. Saturday mornings are blocked out for prepping.
I think these will help me a lot because my biggest issues were running out of time mid-week to prep my next batch of meals, forgetting that I'd eaten the last meal and needed to prep more, and the supermarket being out of stock on a particular thing I needed.
Next I want to experiment with different meal types to spice things up because I've basically been eating the same breakfast, lunch and dinner every day for years lol.
Always do my chicken in the instant pot with some marinade, so many choices (I love teriyaki) and it always comes out moist and delicious; also helps I can do close to 3-4 pounds at once.
i agree with everything except i would like a greeny green in there, you can boil some chard and even skip the salad making, keep like 3 pounds of boiled greens in the fridge and add 2 forks in every meal, the ''wetness'' of them make the meals go down easier
also some spices wont hurt the rice, black pepper, nutmeg, paprika, turmeric, spearmint, all good all fun
Thanks so much for the help!! I now have a better idea of how I can remain efficient with my mel prepping for the week :)
Evan the only guy I care for at Animal cuz of content like this and his attitude
Cant Wait Let's Do This 💯💪🔥🖤🐭
I remember seeing him in another video doing this years ago, awesome to see him again
Ev never let's me down! Love these videos dropping gems 💎 💎 always!
Evan is not only a great BBer, but as well funny and genuine person. Would like to see him on stage again.
Evan, love love your videos. I love that you focus on quality food. Keep up the good work.
PS get rid of that Pam. I use avocado oil spray
PSS PRO TIP = rinse your rice a few times and drain before you cook. It gets rid of half the starch so the grains stay separate and it’s not so gummy
also gotta measure it right not heaping cups lol
This is a guy that gets shit done! Impressive! Great discipline.
Amazing tutorial! I’m not a bodybuilder just regularly work out, but this gave me great ideas to meal prep. Just wondering u don’t season your chicken?
Thabk you for posting this! No more excuses! So motivated to start!!
I really like Evan he seems like an awesome dude! Thanks for the videos!
Evan is the man. Ive always followed him. Calm easy going spirit, eats way cleaner than most bodybuilders and smart. I fell off of bodybuilding for years when I got sick and lost a lot of weight. I rebooted my health with a plant based diet. I will never be as big or strong eating this way but I feel better and thats all that matters. Personally I think my sickness was from excessive amounts of wheat grains and gluten
After watching this I really need to clean out all the shit from my fridge and keep it healthy & simple
I can really appreciate the effort you put into this video. I this wasn’t no rush through 5 minute video. Some of us starting to really take body building serious can see the care you put into for the building community ! Great video .thanks !
Really good stuff, you guys should bring more content such as this one and for sure Evan was brillnat too!
Evan's cooking videos are the only bodybuilding food videos that look legit delicious.
Love this and Evan. Easy and very actionable.👌
I’m glad I found you channel years ago. Thank you for everything you do for us.
Hey guys thanks Evan for this video! I’m going to do it tomorrow! I really appreciate you doing this.. as a student with work and other things that life throws at one it’s hard to spend time making food but now I got the key thanks again man!!
Hi! Can you leave a shopping list for this please?
Thank you for sharing , I already preped but the method of keeping all in one container was hella helpful
I could eat grilled curried chicken all week long. The only thing I would do differently is I'd split the rice up into half plain rice/ half tumeric rice.
I am going to adapt a lot of what you do/ how you eat. Coming off of 3 years of extreme chronic illness, I am taking my diet and health seriously and making wellness a routine.
Saying FUCK YOU to my past illness and getting SHREDDED bc I was built to overcome.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Nice 👍
Perfect video. Perfect overview/explanation. Thank you for this. I’ll definitely be following this program and following this channel now that I’ve stumbled upon it.
Best way is to have 3 exciting meals as Evan says most ppl eat three times a aday so have three exciting meals to some extent then the others just have something simpler to get the calories in
Is chicken rice and plain vege exciting lol
@@arenuzzle6282 add some seasoning to it. It's not that hard and you can easily enhance everything here with a little bit of more time.
Evan makes really great videos on diet and preparations … he should make his own cook book at this point!
Waiting for that food competition with Fouad
straight to the point. very likeable guy. i normally dont enjoy videos like this, but this one is a good one!
a lot of foodies and yelp reviewers for a living will easily spend an hour just in line for a table and waiting when eating out several times a week lol
