IMPORTANT NOTES:
Make sure to stir the pot from start to finish the entire time, this will ensure none of the pasta gets stuck at the bottom.
Towards the end once all the cheese mixes have been added in if at any point the consistency is too thick you can always add a bit more evaporated milk to make it creamier.
When reheating add a drop of milk & stir it together. This will help the pasta warm up & become creamy again without splitting.

I don't care about losing weight this mac looks fantastic!
This is good
But it's probably bland cuz he never added salt
@@SmithBechiadid bro watch the video????
@@ugandaknucklesarmy8843 I did and I never saw him touch the salt
@@ugandaknucklesarmy8843 He did add some to the water but that does basically nothing.
I would recommend protein rich mix ins as well.
Also, mix ins are a good way to add flavor and nutritional value, spinach is a really good one, though, you should cook the spinach with the noodles for best results.
Sounds nice. You do lose some nutrients with the water that way, but miles better than not having spinach at all. Plus it tastes nicer when boiled in the pasta water :)
@@kristajohnson9173 oh, I didn't mean in water, you cook the spinach in the sauce with the noodles to finish cooking the noodles, infusing the nutrients and more so the flavor into the noodles
You should be able to just add the spinach to the hot pasta. It wilts very fast
@@kristajohnson9173you won’t lose any nutrients since the water isn’t drained. The water-soluble vitamins will be extracted from the spinach itself but will still remain in the dish.
you can replace the cream with Greek yogurt it will give the same texture and creamness at the end plus extra protein
I have the same suggestion, but keep the evaporated milk and all that because it also adds protein and flavor which makes the meal more filling
Greek yogurt changes the flavor of traditional mac and cheese too much. Evaporated milk works just fine.
This mac and cheese looks so delicious
I add carmelized onions and low fat hamburger meat, chopped red bell peppers, and sneak in some jalapenos!! (im Texan)
People need to stop sleeping on Nutritional Yeast. I'm not a vegan, but my roommate made vegan "cheese" sauce with cashews and Nutritional Yeast and other spices and it is BALLER
Also, it is gas on your popcorn. Highly recommend
Nutritional yeast popcorn is so good. I have an air popper and always put it on!
I’m not really looking to bulk up, I just needed a decent recipe I could use for evaporated milk. This looks like it’ll do nicely.
I’m sorry, but that mac & cheese looks so good to the point where I’m not gonna lose weight because I’m just gonna eat so much of it😂
"Sounds Something like this"
I miss her😭
Um what..absolutely vile
Oh nah
wtf
💀💀💀
Bro you ok?😂
This looks amamzing but I need data to back your 50g protien claim. That seems a bit high even for Protein mac and cheese that doesn't use cottage cheese.
320g pasta:
reg: 44p1126 banza: 63p1086
100g Cheddar: 403
50g Mozz: 148
20g Yeast: 80
(340+60)ml Evap Milk: 333
73p963/4 portions= 19p241 before adding pasta
this much pasta adds
regular: 11p282 banza: 16p271
So more like 30-35g protein for just over 500 calories. Not bad, but it's been wrongly advertised as having a better ratio
@@densedecisions4568however you could get protein pasta like chickpea flour pasta and then I’d say it’s accurate. It’s really not too just a texture difference!
Probably VettaSmart protein pasta found in Woolworths supermarket in Australia, almost double the protein of regular pasta
Its in the description. He's using Lulu protein pasta. High Protein but expensive
The recipe looks great but how are there 50 g of protein in one serving?
I used my calorie tracking app to calculate the macros/calories for this dish.
Per serving it was:
479 calories / 66 g carbs / 28.8 g protein / 9.6 g fat
Different ingredients may end up in a slightly different end result but getting over 20 g more protein per serving seems impossible 🤷🏼♀️
Tried it with red lentil pasta (not stated in the video) and it was: 49.6 g carbs / 39.6 G protein
Thank you, was looking for this comment
I had to rewatcgb the video to see if he added greek yogurt or something...
The only way I can see it could be 50 g of protein is you have to add like a fat-free Fairlife milk or 2% Fairlife milk or the equivalent. Something that has like 12 to 13 g of protein per serving. Otherwise you are correct. This is not 50 g of protein.
@@J-Kim24no it is 46 grams of protein, it’s the pasta he uses tho, it’s 19grams protein per 56 grams of pasta, the whole thing before splitting it becomes 185grams of protein
What app do you have for the calories
@@hamzanasser5171what kind of pasta??
For even extra protein, you can boil the noodles in bone broth. Adds flavor as well!
It will help you lose weight.
Me on my 3rd bowl in less than an hour - Yep it is helping alright.
I put it in my food diary and only worked out to be 29g of protein FYI.
It's chickpea pasta yk
@@Jotun279 What is that?
@@jesusluque7487 pasta made out of chickpeas/chickpea flower
Or any pulse pasta.
Imagine if you added grilled chicken too 😋
Imagine adding some high protein yogurt 🤤🤤🤤. Crdi B could never
Tf are you yapping about 😂💀
Looks yummy! I've tried a few of these protein Mac and cheese dishes but this one looks the most authentic ❤
You can't allow a 50% reduction of boiling water when your pasta reaches aldente in approx 9mins. The pasta will be overdone and pasty.
If the mac sounds like her, you did good
Im waiting for the "If you love Nutella but wants to lose weight and build muscle" version, please!
how is it 50 gram protien
You are capping so hard about the calorie to protein ratio. I made this but instead of milk I used yogurt (90 cal and 18g protein per serving - less calories than milk and way more protein) and then used less fattening cheese and it was still only around 7% protein to calories. There’s no way you’re getting 10%+ protein with this recipe.
Or you can use regular evaporated milk and have it be even creamier
Looks so good and no nasty cottage cheese 🙌💯
I’m confused about what makes this recipe 50 grams of protein?
chickpea noodles = 1086cal, 62 pr
400ml fat free evap milk = 334 cal, 26 pr
fat free cheddar = 160 cal, 32 pr
reduced fat mozz = 125 cal, 14 pr
nut yeast = 70 cal, 10 pr
*divided into four servings: 444 cal, 36g PROTEIN*
Cant reach 50g of protein, at best 36 tho which is still decent for the calories
Nutrion tracker says this per serving:
≈ 29g protein
≈ 7.4g fat
≈ 460 calories
Besides everyone talking about the protein value being off, has anyone tried this out? Does it taste good?
I call cap on the 50g of protein
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that looks good
😋😋😋👍
That looks bomb
This made be subscribe
I've heard something else that sounds the same 😊
These macros aren't legit. Unless you use fat free cheddar and milk. But it looks delicious
can't you like.. put some broccoli in there or something like damn. why do you people keep trying to lose weight without eating a vegetable D:
Why add broccoli? If you add it you'll just add more calories which is what makes you gain weight.
@@Grineck rofl I genuinely never know when I am being trolled on a video like this. Just in case anyone needs to be informed: food that is less calorie dense (like fruits and vegetables), has more fiber (like fruits and vegetables), and is a whole food (like fruits and vegetables) generally is good for healthy weight levels. We tend to eat the same physical volume of food every day, so fill your tums up with a little more broccoli and not ultraprocessed foods and ESPECIALLY not sweet drinks and you will do fine. Sweet drinks are singlehandedly destroying health of people around the world, if you cut out one thing, cut out sweet drinks (even fruit juice!)- because they are the sneakiest opponent to your body's ability to register fullness.
I think vegetables are the best option for people who don't have a lot of money and time- you can keep them in the freezer so you don't have to worry about them going bad. Just mix them in to meals or have them as a microwave steamed side. You just have to be consistent about it, maintain a steady pattern of eating a decent portion of whole, natural foods.
@@kristajohnson9173 How are you gonna lose weight if you eat more calories? If u are trying to lose weight you shouldn't be trying to add extra weight, I would lose more weight if I didn't add any vegetables to the food I already eat because than it would add more calories.
@@Grineck Oh you actually are just very poorly informed.... Okay. well. I just told you but let me lay it out more clearly- you eat the same VOLUME of food on average every day. The volume in your stomach is what tells your brain you are full (for the most part, it is slightly more complicated than that). So if you take the 2 cups of mac and cheese and replace it with 1.5 cups of mac and cheese and 0.5 cups of broccoli you will still feel the same amount of fullness because you ate the same volume, but it will be significantly less calories. Mac and cheese is 310 calories per cup while broccoli is only 35 calories per cup. So 310x2=620 or 310x1.5+35=500. 620 or 500, these are your options. And that's just one meal of the day, it stacks up fast. And that is how you eat a healthy diet. Just eat more stuff that has less calories for the same volume. It also helps if its not ultraprocessed. But the very great majority of ultraprocessed food has insanely high calorie counts for its volume. This is why Americans particularly are overweight, because they eat all these foods that have gone through a million steps to make it MORE calorically dense. Delicious sure, but eat too much, and you get all kinds of diseases.
Mmm, not to mention putting the broc in there will make you significantly more likely to not get some colon cancer from lack of fiber. Think how many pounds you could get out when you can actually poop regularly lol.
@@kristajohnson9173 Actually not lol.. You said to add broccoli into the remaining food he had already made which means he would add more calories. If you want to lose weight track your calories correctly and check your maintenance level of calories minus that by 100-500 calories and you'll be losing weight pretty quickly.
Add egg and bake please.
How is that 50 grams of protein per serving?
we all know it doesn't hit like a real Mac , throw in the brick of cheese and enjoy
Bro but pasta have really really alot of carbs (bad carbs)
Can I get American measurements, I'm to stupid and so is Google lol
Macaroni in a pot
Can you please save me a plate I’m so hungry right now it’s 11:05pm Friday June 28 2024
Now use egg pasta
Looks great but would wreck my shit
Made this today. It was disgusting, I’m sorry. Also, echoing what someone else said in another comment: waiting for half the water to boil results in overcooked, weak pasta.
Yeah I tried it too, awful recipe. Ended up wasting sm pasta. This poster is an a hole
High protein? That's a pot full of carbs.
So a fitness alternative to mac & cheese is just normal mac & cheese and lying about how it has 50g of protein.
And cover your eyes when you walk through the produce section at the store, that's a healthy life right there
Clickbait
Too much carbs
I call bullshit
Nowhere near 50 grams o protein
400 cals for that small thing is crazy for 400 cals u can eat way better and more other things
Anyone else thinks the English accent is rubbish
That's australian you bing bong.
Where's the 50g protein? I'd be surprised even if it was 50g all together.. That's like a total of 20g - you're chatting shit
He’s probably using chickpea pasta or lentil.
Our body can only process 25 grams of protein like ever 1 1/2 to 2 hours. So eating more than that is only going to affect the kidneys which you don't want.
We can actually absorb up to 5o to 70.
50g of protein but what are the other macros?
Your macaroni looks bootsie I'll stick to my grandmother recipe
The method of boiling pasta until water is gone then using evap milk was popularized by Kenji. Love that recipe.
food looks good! you earned a sub
Here bc I got braces and need protein soft food
looks great but where's the 50g of protein
Probably used protein pasta (i.e. made from edamame) which has much better macros than regular pasta: 180kcal for 24g protein.
I use red lentil pasta usually. Doesn’t taste as good but great macros
I recommend chickpea pasta, high protein and doesn't change the taste that much
protein pasta and cheese. you’re not very smart are you?
@@dabear7822youre a bum bro 😭😭
all that sodium ain't good tho but looks delicious af lol
Imagine saying eating Mac and cheese will help you lose fat and meaning it.
I miss her
There is no way that's 50 g of protein.
How much water do you put in the pot?
I just put a lot of water, and then drained out most of it when the pasta was done cooking. It turned out alright
The video versus actual recipe is a bit off, but overall this is actually pretty good and not terrible for you. I think a lot of you are just bad at reading comprehension as well. Here are some things to be aware of when making this:
1. The recipe calls for fat free EVAPORATED milk, NOT CONDENSED. Very different. One is going to have a ton of sugar. The other won't.
2. He does not specify to use reduced fat cheese in the video, but the recipe does call it out. That will lower your fat content by a fair amount.
3. Yes, pasta has carbs. We all know this. Babies know this. You're not a fitness guru for pointing this out. The recipe is meant to be low fat, high protein. If you also want low carbs, just switch out the pasta for some kind of lentil pasta or other alternative.
4. Probably the stupidest thing missing is a measurement for water, especially since it instructs you to reduce it by half. Half of what? I simply eyeballed how much water I would need to use in order to cover the pasta by about half an inch. From that experience, I recommend using a little less. If you pour the pasta into the boiling water and it looks to be too much, just carefully dump a bit out.
I followed the recipe but missed the fact that it calls for low fat cheese, and a fourth of it still comes out to be 522 calories, 71g carbs, 13g fat, 28g protein. Obviously if I used reduced fat cheese it would look a little different, but if you are not carb counting this really isn't that bad nutritionally. Tastes good too.
Adding some more cheese does it better as cheese has its own protein content.
Did bro use chickpea pasta? How is it so high protein this is literally a normal Mac and cheese recipe
Thats what I am saying, most of videos like these don’t give accurate macros
I tried to do some calculations with what little info was given in the video.
Mozzarella is 7-8g of protien per serving depending on brand (80 calories)
Cheddar cheese is 7g of protien preserving. (110 calories)
Nutritional Yeast is actually a great edition since it is 8g of protien per serving and 60 calories.
Condensed milk is 6g of protien per 1/4 cup serving. (Calroies vary as well. He didn't say if the milk was 2%, 1%, fat free, or whole so I can't give an accurate calorie number but no matter what, the count is already above what is mentioned in the video)
Pasta can vary but the general number I use is anywhere between 6 and 9g of protien, depending on the brand and type of pasta. (Calories vary but the general rule is 230 calories, which is standard for most normal pastas)
Total protien is 37 or 38g and this is me giving the highest numbers possible with mozzarella and pasta.
Calories count is 500 without including calories from condensed milk. It's probably more.
Still not a bad meal but definitely don't take what the video says at face value
You're welcome
Edit: this is assuming there is 1/4 cup of each cheese in the portions and the pasta is accurately measured. Same goes for the nutritional yeast.
@@ivoryquillum4436Why did you include condensed milk? That is a thickened milk with sugar used for desserts. The man used EVAPORATED MILK. You can buy it in a can, or just simmer milk on low heat until it is half its volume.
I’m assuming he did. In the video when he does the first step which is pasta, he has it in parenthesis of which pasta of choice anyone could use. He mentions lentil, chickpea or the normal macaroni etc. so I would assume he’s using chickpea in here
@@jdmes4586no it is accurate you just have to look at the specific ingredients he uses
Where did the 50g of protein come from
That sounds delicious
If you want to stay fat do this...
Awww Delicious looking 😢
Try CACIO E PEPE brazza 👌
L
Der Sound 🤤
Bro said healthy it has 434 calories wtf
434 calories and 50g of protein is pretty good, considering most males need at least 2000 calories per day. It's obviously lacking micronutrients but you can make that up with veggies
The fuck is fat free milk
Milk with no fat
This guy deserves a LIKE
Wtf!??? 100 g light cheddar cheese is already 350 calories. With another 50 g cheese, there would be at least 500 calories… fake as fuck
The pot isn’t for him to eat in one sitting. He’s doing meal prep so I’m sure he divvy’s out the whole put into bowls of 4-5 or more and gets a more clear total of the macros per bowl
It's not 50g protein for anyone asking. It's called click-bait so you like the video.
Fat free condensed milk is 30g of sugar per 50ml serving. That's insane! Would be great to see a version using some other substitute.
Fat free *Evaporated* milk not condensed, should be very low carbs/sugar
I would recommend using cauliflower pasta, it’s so good and so healthy
No
@billymehr cauliflower is for poor white people who don't neow flavour so I agree HELLL TO THE NAAH AH NAAAH
😂@@billymehr
so... instead of mac and cheese, you want to eat cauliflower and cheese
@@namo2403 it has so much more more protein, and it’s still pasta lmao just made differently, would still taste mostly the same (I’m not gonna lie and say it’s just as good) but with the added protein, it’s worth it
