Eat Like Jeff Cavaliere (RIPPED YEAR ROUND!)

If you ever wanted to eat like Jeff Cavaliere and be ripped year round, this video is going to show you how. I’m going to cover my most important method for how to eat to be lean, and the best part is that it will work even if you don’t desire the low body fat levels that I have right now.

As always, nutrition is the main determinant in how lean you look. Cardio, while helpful in burning a few extra calories is not the determining factor for how ripped you can be. The biggest and most significant impact you are going to have is always going to be with your nutrition. That said, far too often people don’t take a calculated approach to how they eat and it leads them to carrying around higher body fat percentages than they should.

The key to diet success is going to be having a system in place. The meal plan that you are following to do this should first and foremost, allow you to eat foods that you enjoy. Too many people think that eating to get ripped means that you have to eat nothing that you like and only bland and boring foods. This is simply not the case. Taking the time to learn how to make foods that you already enjoy taste even better is going to change the way that you look at diets forever.

In fact, the word diet will never exit your mouth again. Once you settle in on a way to eat that you can live with, it is simply going to become your lifestyle and it is at that point that the long term changes can occur.

The second most important thing that you can do from here is pick a method of eating and stick with it. In other words, if you have to call them a diet plan to get lean at this point fine, just make sure it is one that can lose the diet tag after awhile and become just the way you eat. Whether this be keto, paleo, or just low fat like myself, it is important that you find one that doesn’t disrupt your life too much or you likely won’t stick with it for long.

As I said, my meal plan of choice was to lower my levels of dietary fats that I ate every day. In the beginning, my daily eating was already too high in fats so finding places to cut wasn’t even hard. I also realized that with dietary fats being twice as calorically dense as carbs and proteins on a gram per gram basis, I was going to have the greatest impact by doing this. This also was the easiest to do since it didn’t deprive me of the carbs I felt better consuming to meet the needs I had as a competing athlete.

From here, I advise you to eat at specific times of the day if you want to eat like Jeff Cavaliere. I don’t eat when I’m hungry, I eat when the clock tells me to. Now, this occurs within a window of time that is roughly 30 minutes. For instance, around 8-8:30am I have breakfast. Somewhere in the mid morning, I have a snack - roughly around 10:30-11am. Lunch follows as well as a mid afternoon snack. I keep these windows open for these short periods and they can fluctuate a bit from day to day, however I make sure not to eat outside of these windows.

Far too often, people that eat when they are hungry wind up finding it very hard to stay in a caloric deficit. This happens because even the hunger itself that they are feeling can be confused for other signals and they mindlessly graze themselves into too many calories.

To assist this, I add additional times and eating windows during the day to account for any periods that I seem to be getting consistently hungry. I started out just eating three meals a day; breakfast, lunch and dinner. The additional snacks that were added were done so out of necessity. At this point, I’m locked in and so will you be if you take the time to do this right.

Finally, if rule number one is in place and you are eating foods that build muscle and that you actually like, you will not need cheat meals. The name itself implies that you are eating foods that are a far departure from the ones that you eat on a daily basis and are somehow much more gratifying. Again, if you take the time to identify foods that can keep you full and happy you won’t need cheat meals or even more, cheat days.

2:08 Only eat foods you enjoy (not the same thing as eating whatever you like).
3:33 Pick a sustainable approach that you can do long-term rather than a "diet."
5:15 Eat at specific times each day, become "mechanical" about your meal times.
7:26 Institute more scheduled eating periods.

At 64 years old I started lifting weights again after 30 years at a gym close by and all those embedded memories started coming back on how to lift weights correctly. Honestly, I think your insights are the best around and I am not exaggerating. All those weight lifters of yesteryear including Frank Zane, Mike and Ray Mentzer, Larry Scott, Dave Drapper, Franco Columbu, Tom Platz, Lou Ferrigno and many others were my heroes. In their memory I bench pressed 180lbs at 64 years old. Great stuff and many thanks. Keep it coming...

Great video! I am 57, was active in sports and weight training my entire life, then BAM! I ruptured my achilies tendon. No insurance and I went from 220 @ 7 percent bodyfat to 352 and 37 percent bodyfat. After 3.5 years I qualified for Medicaid and had my surgery. Because of your videos and others like you, the past 6 weeks my weight went down to 305 mainly by cleaning up my diet. Now I feel OK to start lightly training. Thank you for all you do!

So jeff, as a physiotherapist id love to see more videos relating to injury prevention whether that comes to how we should plan programs, or maybe a video on strength ratios. Ex: if you are overhead pressing X-number, youre bench should be around X-number. A video on imbalances and understanding what the balance of different moves should be

Best results for me personally was cutting carbs, increasing fat and protein. Lost stomach, gained muscle and have far more energy. Everyones different, just gotta find what works and like Jeff said, what you're gonna enjoy 💪💪

Nice to see you again, Jeff. I have been following you since 2015 and you were the reason I started my fitness journey. Your workout videos were inspiring to me. I gave my best and trained hard for years, but I was hardly getting any muscle, only to find out that my diet was poor af. I have always eaten 'just enough' thinking it would be sufficient. Reality hit me hard when I started following my first real diet plan from Nextlevel diet (if I remember correctly). The amount of food was huge for me back then, but I eventually got used to it and started getting real results. That's all from me. Once again, I am happy to see you again. I wish you all the best in your career.

You can tell this is a channel that actually cares. The detailed descriptions, the efficient cuts waste no time - most digestible, effective way to learn about health/fitness IMO with actually good, non-biased information

Just so people understand, it's MUCH easier to "train consistently" when it's YOUR JOB to do so. Most people work 8 hours.
Imagine doing that as "work", then you wouldn't have to use your "free time" when it obviously could have been used for entertainment instead.

So if you feel like you are failing because you don't have Jeff's physique or still have more than 40% body fat, don't worry and keep going.
You are playing the hard difficulty, don't expect it to be easy.

I lost 8kg of fat and won 2kg of muscle in 8 months by counting calories. I started working out last month doing a beginner home workout (200-300 calorie deficit with 0.8g protein x kg).
On the pandemic I stopped working out and started to get fat, my knees were weak and I struggled for air while walking. Following Jeff's advice I am starting to get a six pack for the first time in my life while feeling strong, expecting more gains when going back to the gym.
Thanks Jeff!
