I have been working out for over 2 years and never knew this information! Life saver!

Flash frozen veg is better than most fresh. Local is over-rated; transportation isn't energy intensive -- fertilizer is.

In these hard economic times, many of us are listening to this video.

Love how knowledgeable you are. Thanks for debunking common myths

[danielnoonan]

I always wondered if frozen veggies retained their nutrients

[Mistahhhloba]

Canned Fish is where it's at for quick on the go protein meal/snack

What are your favorite protein/fat sources? I know some are higher in saturated fat and maybe not the healthiest option

[SayWhatSuca]

The reason why some may buy lean meat is due to the calories associated with a fater cut, and also taking into account cooking oils/butter, and / or any condiment you may use that contains fat.

That being said, fat is the most difficult thing to get when you do choose lean meats.

Now, if you are in maintenance or in a caloric surplus, then yes, fatty meats go a long way.

Context is king

Excessive protein intake can happen very easily and is super expensive and freezing stuff can save you a lot of money.

Often, make that mistake and spend way too much money.

1lb of 80/20 ground beef and 1lb of ground chicken for about 7 bucks a day from Aldi, throw some whole wheat flour into the meat at the end of it cooking to soak up some of the juices and retain all the calories and a few extra carbs and fiber. Then about 4oz of frozen fruit and 4oz of frozen berries for desert. Probably all less than 10 bucks per day. About 110g fat, 160g protein, and at least 100g carbs, and a decent base to add on too.

Question for everyone. I understand the advice regarding organic food vs nonorganic and their trivial nutritional differences, but what does the research say about the larger amounts of preservatives and chemicals in non organic food. How does that affect our bodies’ ability to maximize the nutritional content of the food we eat?

[PatternShift]

My $0.02 — going a little bit in on leaner protein still worth it. 90% lean beef, but don’t have to go to 96%. 2% milk. 2% Fage is the nectar of the gods. Chicken thighs are fine, not just breast. Ground Turkey. Make sure enough room for nuts (various), avocado and olive to be a good chunk of the fat in your diet. Obviously don’t lose fat from salmon or tuna or trout or cod etc, you want the full fat profile there.

How do I even find organic foods when we've cultivated veggies and grown cattle for centuries to be better tasting, more productive and more resistive against spoiling and environment?

I prefer buying the meats with -30% stickers that are about to spoil and freezing them over buying frozen foods. Why? Because many frozen food products are just shitty and somehow processed versions of the ones you would buy otherwise and legit not that cheap. Similar thing with canned foods (we don't have a freezer box full of just cut raw meats in the stores). Like tuna is at the point where it's tough to justify having canned tuna for more than a backup in the cupboard in case there's a reason you can't go buy food, so expensive. But delicious though.

My personal number one tip is buy the rawest forms of food, for example a full fish, and prepare it yourself. Furthermore use all of it like making a stock on top of fillets and fish soup and feed the rest to dog and so on, fully utilize what you get for your money. Also bake your own breads from sourdough to pita, it's not very complicated. Pitas are like idk 15 minutes of waiting after mixing the ingredients and baking for five minutes. And make your own sauces like creamy garlic, ranch, oily sauces. And pickle stuff or ferment it, it's good and the fermented ones have supposedly good effect on gut health. Pickled red onion on top of salad or bread or lactofermented cucumber on bread are fantastic ways to brighten up your dishes without that many calories but a lot of taste. And lastly even syrups if you need or use them for sometjing. It's not more than sugar, water and spices. And you might have a ton of fun making all of it as well.

There is one more important tip: eat the skin/peels of plants that you typically would otherwise throw out, such as orange peels, banana peels, kiwi skin, watermelon rind, avocado skin, etc., as they have a lot of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that help reduce inflammation and improving overall health

[butterfsh]

You just dropped “buy local” in there with no rationale. Why?

[SB_]

Why local foods? Are bananas still a good carbs source then?

[amitev]

Is the freezing affecting the vitamins?

Best advice: Save money in other aspects of your life! Prio 1 should be food quality not budget...

[Bunia]

Pasta, rosterie chciken and red sauce. Cheap and delicious!
