MEALS FOR WEIGHT LOSS | Down 30 pounds | Macro Friendly Meals

We got an intruder Hold on one sec. Okay. Anyway, I have tried to film this so many times Hey guys, welcome back to another video. So a few weeks ago I made a video talking about my favorite go-to breakfast and Just kind of what I've been doing the last few months since July I've been in a weight decline and I'm officially down 30 pounds So I've been at a consistent weight loss and I have not been doing anything crazy I haven't cut out any food groups and I definitely enjoyed myself during the holidays, but I just really stuck to my macro So if you are new to macros, you don't know anything about macros I will link a macro calculator for you guys below so you can get your very own Specific amount because every single person has a different macro count So what I eat and what my body needs is completely different than somebody else It's based off your age your gender your current way your goal weight. There's all kinds of factors that go into Calculating your macros for me specifically. I try to stick to around 130 grams of protein a day 170 carbs doesn't have to be that much but but that's about what I eat every day and then 30 to 40 grams of fat It's not so much counting calories. Yes. There's calories calculated into this as well But I just focus on those three things when I'm eating and I have found it is so flexible It's so easy to do. I do not feel like I am on any kind of diet today's video I wanted to share some of my favorite lunches and dinners and this is what my whole family eats I don't make anything different for them that I make for myself They love the kind of foods that I make but if we are ever having something that's just really high in fat or something like That then I will usually make something separate for myself I will just make the same thing but make it a little bit different. For example the other night We had breakfast for dinner. So I made them pancakes, but I made myself my protein French toast So I do that sometimes but for the most part whatever I make we all eat the same thing I also wanted to include some of my favorite snacks my protein bars my favorite protein drinks Anything that I use to supplement protein, I'll share all of that with you as well But I do want to thank butcher box for sponsoring today's video I will share with you guys all the details on them in just a minute But before we get started, I'm going to first show you guys all of my favorite snack foods and my protein bars As far as protein shakes go you guys are probably not surprised but I love the cake batter by clean simple eats I will have this linked below. These are just like to-go packs, but I actually have like a huge Jar full of it. I dumped like three bags of it inside of a jar because I literally drink it every single day So this one is my favorite flavor of all time. And then also the clean simple eats brownie batter You guys can tell I like batter. So this one is delicious I just make it like normal I use unsweetened almond milk to mix it in my shakes and I have one of these every single day Another like snack. I love these lightly salted rice cakes But my favorite way to have them is with peanut butter spread on top and then I would say this is just another favorite snack So this is the boom chicka pop. It's really low in calories. In fact, I think it says it right there on the front 140 calories. This is just a great thing that I will grab at nighttime if I'm filling snacky at all This is the perfect thing for me. I love the boom chicka pop as far as grab-and-go shakes I love the premier protein and I get these from Costco. So I make sure to always have a stock of these This is another Costco favorite the g2g protein bars. They're so good. And I like to keep them in the fridge I will say this is like a full-blown meal replacement There's 18 grams of protein, but there is 300 calories in these what I love these for is literally if I have no time But I'm starving I will just grab one of these and eat this because again, it's like a full-blown meal with how many calories are in it But it also leaves you so full. So these are a great bar to have on hand as you can see here I always have a stock. So I have another box from right here. These are my favorite built bars of all time There's only 140 calories 17 grams of protein 6 grams of sugar. I love that zero guilt, but it's The coconut marshmallow built puffs are literally the best things on the planet These ones are okay. Don't love them as much but definitely a huge fan of the coconut marshmallow Oh, there's is there two in here? Oh, no different one. Oh, these are really good, too I don't normally have like boxes of these on hand But I do like to grab these at our store My favorite is either the peanut butter fudge or the peanut butter. It's like white chocolate It's super good or the red velvet. So there's three of them that I love the macros are 13 grams of protein 12 carbs and 13 fat the built bars only have 2 grams of fat and since I'm trying to keep my fat a little bit lower I love these and I usually have these with a shake I will have everything that I talked about linked below and I do have a discount code for the built bars and for the shakes The first meal I'm showing you is my favorite taco salad and I use ground turkey instead of ground beef So this will just make it a little bit less fattening I will cook this entire package of this ground turkey and I will turn it into taco meat and I will use it throughout the Week, so I'm gonna show you actually the next two meals like this meal and the next one are pretty similar But just a few different ways that I eat this meat. It tastes really good in the fridge for a few days So all I do is I add some taco seasoning to it and then to turn it into a salad I put this on top of some shredded lettuce I had my favorite toppings like tomatoes a little bit of sour cream some cheese and I will eat this just like a salad and It's so delicious But another way I like to eat this meat is in the form of little street tacos So I will just heat up some of these taco shells and eat them like a regular taco And again, these are some of my favorite meals for lunch. I know they're kind of the same I use basically the same ingredients just added some taco shells to this but these are some of my favorite meals This next recipe is one of my favorites and it tastes really similar to what I would think a blueberry Muffin batter would taste like so what you will need for this recipe is some plain yogurt, and I love the phage 0% That's my favorite one. There is no flavor to this So just warning you you'll also need some blueberries and some protein powder and I'm using the cake batter from clean simple eats I think that makes it taste more like Muffin batter because of the cake batter protein added in and then if you want some extra crunch I'm just putting some Catalina crunch cereal into this I know that's probably a little bit weird But you can put granola or whatever you want if you want some crunch So I start by melting one cup of blueberries in the microwave if the berries are just refrigerated I only have to melt them for about a minute Maybe between 45 seconds in a minute and then I'll stir it up and then while it looks like this is when I will dump In my protein powder this way the protein mixes in really well And I will stir this in slowly and once this is all mixed together I will add in one cup of the yogurt and this tastes great just as it is But again, if you want to add some crunch, you can add whatever toppings you want The next one here is a BLT salad if you can't tell I love salad So I usually cook a few pieces of bacon so that I can use this throughout the week I don't love the taste of meal prepped food But as far as taco meat or bacon to me, it tastes great, especially because I'm using them like in a salad So it tastes really good So I will just cook a few slices of bacon and if you want to make this a little bit less fat I usually only use one and a half to maybe two slices of bacon when I make this into a salad But if you want to make it a little bit less fat, you could obviously use turkey bacon And then I'm doing kind of the same thing. I use shredded romaine I add some croutons and some tomatoes and this tastes just like a BLT Today's video is sponsored by butcher box and we absolutely love this delivery service If you aren't familiar with them Butcher box gives their customers access to high-quality meat at an affordable price and you never have to pay for shipping You get several meat options to choose from from 100% grass-fed beef to free-range organic chicken Crate free pork and wild-caught seafood They ship your order frozen at the peak of freshness and they pack it in an eco-friendly 100% recyclable box They source directly from farmers and fishermen who meet the highest standards for quality So, you know, you're getting your meat through thoughtful sourcing I wanted to share a few reasons that I personally love their service and one of them is their pricing The least expensive box option can make up to 24 meals That means you can easily have a home-cooked meal with your family every Monday through Friday For an entire month to get started with their service. They offer two standard box options, which is custom or curated They offer classic size or a large size in both of those options So you can decide which would be best for your family's needs the box I ordered this month is the custom box in the classic size and I love choosing my own cuts from a variety of beef pork Chicken and seafood each month, but I also love that they have the option for pre-selected meats in their curated boxes Another thing I love about this subscription is the time that it saves We typically shop at a few different stores to find meat that we love Especially because we only buy grass-fed and free-range options So the fact we can get our meat delivered right to our door and the shipping is free is a huge deal for us The quality is probably an obvious one because like I mentioned before we only eat Grass-fed and free-range of any kind of meat. Not only is it thoughtful sourcing? But the quality of the meat is so much better for you. I also love that they offer member benefits So once you're a part of the butcher box community, you have access to special member deals and add-ons for each box Some examples include member deals bundled items limited special items holiday cuts and prepared items You can also adjust box options and delivery frequencies to your needs and can cancel at any time with no penalty Make sure you click the link below to claim this month's butcher box limited offer and thank you again butcher box for sponsoring today's video So what I'm making here is one of our family favorites This is the crock pot beef and broccoli and the recipe comes from life in a loft house I will have it linked below. I do have to mention the quality of the butcher box meat is so delicious It's really not even comparable to store-bought meat So if you've been on the hunt for really good tasty meat I would definitely give them a try But again, this is one of our family favorites and it tastes just like you're eating out at a restaurant I will let this cook here for a few hours and then I will put in the broccoli But what I want you guys to see here is I'm still eating the same things my family eats I will always just portion out my food, but I always try to get about four ounces of the meat I'm having the broccoli. I also add a side of rice So I'm still eating everything my family's eating but I'm making my portions so that it will fit into my macros I feel like this is the first time in my life I've been on some kind of health journey and I haven't been afraid of seasoning or butter and I actually mentioned this in my video before That I had been using spray butter for as long as I can remember The zero calorie kind and it's just full of basically plastic and I have slowly Transitioned to get away from zero calorie foods just because it's not real food and your body doesn't really know What you're putting in it. So even though it might have lower calories. I am trying to eat real food The last meal I'm sharing is a go-to we have this every single week at least one time and it's teriyaki chicken and rice So this is something that Thomas makes every week. I never make this meal I feel like he just makes it perfect every time So he will cut up some chicken breast and then add some garlic salt Johnny season salt and teriyaki sauce He will cook this in a pan. And then when this is done, he will set it aside and then make our rice So how he makes the rice is he will sprinkle some of that Johnny's salt on top and then just a little bit of soy sauce and then he will scramble up two eggs and Mix them in there as well. And anyone that has had his fried rice has said it is literally the best rice ever I swear it is so good. And honestly, I've never been able to make it quite like him I'm showing you all of the steps so you can definitely try this at home But this is always a meal that I look forward to and I love this so much That's everything I have for this video But I've had a lot of requests for a full day of eating a full day in the life of what I've been doing with My workouts with all of my meals and just kind of what my routine is So I will be sure to have that video up for you guys ASAP Thank you guys again for watching and remember to click the link below to claim this month's butcher box limited offer Thanks again, and we'll see you guys in the next video
