On my website there are hundreds of meal prep, snack, and macro friendly dessert recipes that I have developed over the years. There are no targeted ads, no pointless life stories and endless scrolling to get to the ingredient list, just the recipes. I have a subscription based model where Gold Members have access to every recipe on the site, which is under $5/month with annual memberships. If that's not your thing, there is also a Silver level membership that is free for life, still ad free, and you get access to a good amount of the recipes. Registering to become a member, whether that is a Gold or Silver (free) member, is the best way you can help support what I do. I appreciate all of you more than you know 😎

I've been doing your recipes and since June 2022 I've dropped 90lbs. Meal prepping makes it easy to keep my daily caloric goals.

I will never get tired of the expert level fork trolling by Josh

[raymondm]

Can't wait to try this! More low calorie high volume meal preps please.

[MartinDeHill]

Even though i knew this one, I want to show my appreciation for your description of the tomato sauce! It's super helpful for us following along from across the pond

[McCullogh]

I know its a small thing that you probably just do automatically Josh but that you add both impercal and metrical measurements is awesome. Greetings from Sweden!

Josh revealed the true key of weight loss: holding your fork like you’ve smashed your index finger in the oven.

Thanks for adding in the freezer meal demo. I don't mind the same meal for a few days in a row, but I've been wanting to start prepping more freezer meals to create some variety based on when things are in season/sales/etc. Keep up the good work!

[timothylowther]

Can't wait to try this! I started using Josh's recipes in august and have gone from 305 pounds to 270 (plus actually exercising). His meals have been a god send to manage hunger and hit my macros! Plus getting me to eat my veggies.

I'm so confused about the fork holding style 😹😹😹 wtf josh haha .. Great video as always and thanks for explaining the tomato sauce alternatives 🙌🙌

[adamrojas]

Man im so glad I found this your page. your Reciepes have helped me bulk up slowly and is now helping me lean back down for my first powerlifiting comp!

[khmero]

#Respect Josh. You held the fork in a odd way to get the comments and algorithm going. I respect the hustle. Keep it up and thanks for the recipe.

[shree]

Just tried this recipe. And it tastes superb. Took a bit long as I'm new to meal prep, but it came out perfect in the end.

How do you not have 1M subs, this is illegal. Man you're saving my life with this! I should be able to save a lot of money by preparing well in advance. Going to give my first meal prep week a go this Sunday. Thank you!

[Waremonger]

I do a lot of meal prep and use glass storage containers to store my food. I generally pull the food out a day early and put it in the fridge to thaw first but if I have to microwave straight from the freezer I microwave it on 40%. In fact, I microwave everything at 40% regardless whether it is frozen. Yes, it does take about twice as long, but the end result is soooo much better. Less hot spots, no rubbery or burnt pieces, etc. In any case, microwaving at the lower power setting has never been a problem for my glass containers.

[KJotis]

Yes, please and thank you, more of these lower calorie recipes! 🤩

[nevernerd]

I really dig your style of videos. It’s incredibly refreshing to watch people on youtube that give zero fucks about the comments and what others expect of them and just do what they feel like. Your presentation and attitude is excellent. This compliment should be taken with some amount of consideration, as I often getting pulled into HR at work for being a blunt asshat. Also your fork handling and water drinking bowl is probably the wave of the future. I see no downsides to your methods.

[Panditmonium]

Hey Josh thanks for posting these videos, appreciate it

Suggestion: I'm a complete beginner, and I figure that are other people like me. In line with your previous video on becoming a meal prepper, maybe you should do a series or have a playlist of "easy" things us beginners can start with.

Appreciate the content as always!

[ShadowmarkReturns]

I'm glad there's commentary, been running into too many music only recipe tutorials.

[cardinonr]

I just made this dish for my work week and my wife has already eaten one of my portions! This is the best meal yet!

[anticmper]

Well made video with great attention to detail without over explaining, I also hate cutting fat out of chicken so I might substitute chicken breast over thighs for this recipe, as I used chicken thighs for the first time recently when my grocery store was sold out of chicken breast and I was extremely annoyed by how much time I spent trying to remove fat and it was impossible to get it all.
