    Kevin all these years on and I have to say you're absolutely still the number one fitness-oriented food UA-camr in my eyes! Amazing how much you're still inventing, keeping it tasty and interesting, and pushing us on from chicken and rice!

    Please do more of this! I love the idea of batch prepping food but never really get down with multiples of the exact same meal. This is a technique that I have seen some home cooks use but understanding what may work with what is where I get caught up! Great video as always! Thank you for another year of wonderful food and energy! Happy 2023 Mr!

    Naahhhh I had to comment asap about the subtle translation 😭🫶🏼 I'm Mexican American and not once have I ever seen someone do that in their videos and since Spanish is the second most spoken language in the US I just really appreciate the usage of it 🥹

    I'm definitely going to give this a try! I feel like I'm always planning multiple meals every few days because I struggle with food fatigue SO BAD constantly, but it's also hard when I have a really busy schedule or am just tired to cook so often. Would love to see more videos on how to meal prep while still keep things varied - as well as tips on how to reheat certain foods since some just don't taste as good the following days.

    I come from a powerlifting background about 10 years ago. I had Meal prepping down to a science! I have a family of 6 now, and I have body fat, and even though I have the knowledge, I couldn't get back into the grove. This video is the absolute perfect video for anyone starting off or needs motivation. Variety, and taste and ease.
    I'm not necessarily saying this video is for everyone, or if the food suits everyone, but it is the absolute best video on UA-cam for someone unsure, unknowing, or needs motivation.

    Hi Kevin, Great video! I just read about your meal prep planning on NPR.
    On item 4, grains (beyond brown rice), you mentioned you've been into faro. I cook daily and also like to spend Sundays making things that will end up being used during the week. So, might I also suggest Italian Barley. It's nutritious, relatively quick, easy to make, and seems to pair well with almost anything.
    Anyway, thank you for your helpful tips (especially your way of making chickpeas). I'm a firm believer that no matter how long I've been cooking, I can always learn something new and useful.

    • @fitmencook
      @fitmencook  Рік тому +1

    Hi, just a question, is all these meals eaten cold?, how long do they keep? I really enjoyed this video as I have commented on various meal prep videos “ how can you eat the same meal everyday?” It must be so boring. So you were a breath of fresh air doing all these variable meals and you made it look so easy. Keep them coming 🙏

    Love this!! Would love to see sections on your website/app dedicated to single ingredients/foods. Like a section for broccoli or veggies (like the fajita veggies), a section on different ways to prepare just chicken (I struggle so bad!) so we can mix and match the different foods. Love using your app to try new recipes, just wish it was easier to search for chicken only / veggie only / potatoes only etc! Hope that made sense, loved the video and would love to see more mix and match meal prep options!
