Get day by day meal plans to get ripped and build muscle here
If you want to get ripped and build muscle year round you will have to be sure that you are consistent with your meal plan prep. Lacking consistency with your nutrition is the fastest way to fall out of shape, especially when you get hit with any of life’s surprises. All too often, it may seem that life gets in the way of you and your six pack. I get it, I understand. But if you are going to let that cave in your health, you will likely not be healthy enough to help those that need you the most.
In this video, I reveal a few things going on in my personal life that would normally make it impossible for me to get my workouts in, eat healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle. That said, I understand that I must be strong if I am going to be able to be strong for those that need me. Sure, it requires me to get up earlier than I would like to. It requires me to workout with less equipment than I would normally like to. It requires me to train with less time than I would normally allot. But I still get the job done.
My meal plan prep relies on finding ways to manage the three choices that we all have, those being good, fast and cheap. If you want anything in life you must realize that you can only choose two of these options. I chose good and fast, at the expense of cheap.
By using the catering menu at local health food grocery stores however, you will be surprised at just how much money you can save over the normally priced healthy food options. For instance, if you shop at Whole Foods you can buy a great meal that includes grilled fish or chicken, asparagus, sweet potatoes and grilled veggies. You will likely pay a pretty penny to have that though. On the other hand, if you hit the less publicized catering menu you can order your already prepared healthy food in bulk.
Don’t worry if you can’t eat it all in one sitting, after all it’s bought in bulk, you shouldn’t be eating it all at once! Realize that you can freeze pretty much any of it without sacrificing it’s quality or freshness. Almost every cooked food can be frozen (some with differing times). Refer to any online resource to determine how long your favorite foods can be frozen and you’ll be surprised at just how much more flexible your meal plan prep can become in even the toughest and tightest of times.

Eating healthy isn't expensive. Know what is expensive? Eating healthy AND staying kosher at the same time.

Yes congratulations Jeff.
In case, like me, you’ve recently been wasting your time looking for a diet program that works, Google "sowo hope site. ” I have dropped 13 pounds in Just one week. The diet plan is wonderful. My colleague already lost 11 pounds too.

most helpfull video about meal prep I have seen, going to buy in bulk instead of cooking everything!
Guys what is the most trusted macros calculator please I've been trying and see no results at all!!!
know this is about 2 years late but congrats on having twins
One of the best videos you did and one of the best YouTube channels..
What I do is I cook the main part of the meal (understand meat or eggs) and then buy the rest, like a salad, yogurt, nuts (usually buy in bulk from the market), cheeses, etc. That way I can cook the meat pretty fast for the whole working week and then just buy the rest which would be a pain in the ass to make myself but not so expensive to buy.
Haha 😂 In canada Fast food isn't cheap. Same in Japan😂 I made pretty fast tasty cheap meals with Rice, Chicken mushroons and spinach In Japan only 200¥ or 2$ american a meal and really healthy and delicious. But I know what you mean you usually only get to choose 2.
Am I the only female who watches you and comments? I am a dedicated follower. I loved this video. As usual it was very informative and the way you deliver your info is absolutely on point and easy to absorb. Love meal prepping! Time saver as well as keeping me on track. Congrats on becoming a dad soon.
Same principle applies when modifying cars.
Good fast and cheap options are Chinese food

“No matter what, you still better find a way to address your own health if you’re going to be worth a damn to the people that need you”.
It’s amazing how sometimes when you’re gong through something, when you least expect it, you come across the exact words you need to hear to keep going. You’ll probably never read this, but thank you Jeff!
jeff
what i learn from experience
is that eating fast food and junk food is not really cheap
WOW…2 kids on the way…Congrats man. Good luck, I will include your family in my prayers tonight. Thanks for all the GREAT videos.
Congrats:)
Without saying the actual words, he's saying "Quit the bullshit excuses because no one cares. If you wanna get in shape, sort your shit out and make it happen". I love this channel.
“Good and Cheap” should be easy for people who like to cook and have even modicum of time they can replace entertainment or social media for meal prepping once or twice a week. And if you do OMAD (One Meal a Day), you cut the 2- 4 other meal times out of your day. The problem with that is that with OMAD, people often don’t feel like eating enough calories to bulk up or see muscle gains that they need. OMAD does suppress your hunger hormones to the point you can go another 23 hours without even thinking about food until the next meal.
How do you manage nutrition when you travel? Any advice on what you pack and take with you?
