Losing weight by tracking my calories, my steps, and exercise. Also been using your recipes and suggestions from your newsletter. Much appreciated. Doing so to help avoid knee replacement surgery. Started at 172 pounds and after 4-5 months am at 158. Thanks for your videos and your newsletter.

I'm actually gaining right now, but, the process is the same. I track everything. I don't cut any one thing out of my diet. I prefer a nice balance of everything including a little bit of junk from time to time. Great video man.

Tracking macros and doing my best to eat healthy! High protein!
Found you a couple months ago and love your recipes!!!

[highflyer]

Good looking recipe, I might actually give this a try sometime next week. Can you freeze the bars once they're made? If not, how how long do they last once made?

[rleeper]

Currently cutting, keeping calories at 1750-1800 on average. High carb days for legs will bump it up to 1900 max, but seeing results and also usikg your protien bownie recipe and loving it!

I love LMNT. The Mango Habanero is amazing. I didn't think a spicy drink would be refreshing, but it is.

After tracking for the last several months, taking a break and just tying to get in protein at every meal and not miss any workouts. I think it’s time for a mental break from tracking for a little bit.

Definitely going to make these. Never really on a diet, just always consciously trying to include lots of protein when possible and make better choices overall.

[davidpouler]

Will definitely try these! I've actually been trying to concoct my own on the go protein snack. Some winners, some not so much. I just made my first batch of a protein version of rice crispy treat using Catalina crunch cereal. But I am peanut butter lover and will try these out with more of a pb touch. Also, I'm not dieting as much as I used to but still keep an eye on macros, I'm down about 80 lbs from this time last year.

First protein bar recipe without nuts! Don’t like nuts 🥜but will for sure make them! Cute Kitty!! Thanks for sharing ! 👍

This guy is awesome. It’s nearly impossible to find “energy” bars with good ingredients. Always way too much salt and sugar in store bar brands which keep it tasty, and cheap. I don’t eat added sugar so, this recipe is great. This weekend my wife and I are doing a 20 mile day hike, so these bars may be accompanying us! I see a trend with the protein powder. I normally do not buy as I try to get my calories from food. But I see how this is great for baking and treats, and at $1-$2 a scoop, a tub will last me a long time

Thanks protein chef

[LarryWestfall]

Dieting and working out. Down from 235 pounds to 195 currently in about 8 months. Still have about 10 more pounds to go to hit my goal. Thanks for the recipe. Looks yummy.

[doctordoggo]

These look delicious.Dealing with 110 weather daily here in AZ so anything that's in and out the kitchen is the move. Currently on a cut. counting calories while making a effort to hit a protein range of 160-180 per a day.

[johnmcdevitt]

Intermittent fasting for the last year. Complex carbs, nuts, peppers, proteins and greens. Cold brew/mct, multivitamin with omegas, Tumeric/Bioperine, L-Theanine, L-Tyrosine, L-Carnitine and citicholine/aGPC for brain health.

Diets feel like fads these days. Everyone has that one trick to lose bodyweight and build muscle fast. There's no secret diet. It consistently doing what you know is good for you. And that's hard sometimes. Recipes like this make it easier. Thank you!

Yoo Protein Chef! I'm just a couple weeks after my knee surgery - torn ACL and ruptured meniscus. I'm a powerlifter, i was lil fat 125kg's guy. Now i'm tracking calories nad going for a sick cut, to look great at the beach and to relieve my knee a bit. Now I'm 99 kg's and thinking about cutting even more to start in some bodybuilding competition.

This recipe looks very good! Long-time silent viewer here. In response to your posed question: I’ve been working on eating better; increasing fruit/ veg, dietary fiber, and plant proteins. I can’t wait to try this recipe with Ambrosia Collective’s Planta-branded Banana Maple French Toast protein powder!

Thanks for the continued, quality content!
