Mac & Cheese is actually GREAT for weight loss

(Code E4CM = 10% off)

Today we are making macaroni and cheese two ways. The first is an OG classic mac that tastes like the nostalgic blue box, but way better. Second, a buffalo chicken mac that blows anything I have ever had out of the water. They are packed with protein and can be utilized both on a cut and a bulk for maximum gains.

I've made this a few times now (using Barilla Protein+ pasta) and it's great. Last time, I tried adding a spoonful of King Arthur's "better Cheddar cheese powder, " and somehow it took it to another level. Both the flavor and the texture of the cheese sauce were improved. I can't believe how good it was. That powder adds 70 calories to the whole recipe, with 4g protein. Worth it

Thank you so so much for your fantastic channel! In 6 months I have lost 35 lb, I know it's not a lot, but I have also manage to start recovering from my bulimia/bed, which I suffered with for almost my whole life. Thank you for posting so many wonderful recipes, all your information and highly qualitative videos and content. Not to mention, you seem very entertaining, sweet, kind and caring about all of us and our health. Thank you so much again. I know my comment must be full och grammar and spelling mistakes since my native language is Swedish. I know my comment will likely never reach you, but I just wanted you to know that you are helping a girl from Sweden more than you can imagine. Lots of love ❤

I made the OG mac and cheese tonight. I can't believe it is possible to make mac and cheese this good with this much protein and good macros. This recipe is amazing, and it's so easy to make too

[cheezy]

Been watching your channel for a while, just made the OG Mac & Cheese and it is legitimately insane. Thank you for taking the time to prioritize taste while keeping the recipes macro friendly!!

[williamshears]

Hey man, look into using sodium citrate to make cheese sauce out of any cheese like cotija or feta that normally don't work like that. Modernist pantry has some good videos on this. Really opens up the Mac world and removes the need to add any flour from some recipes.

[kevinacemusic]

You are the man! I'd say the best macro-oriented channel overall

[daveyfunk]

All you need to do is boil some macaroni and then mix in Greek yoghurt and cheese into it. Frying up some onions and garlic and can even add a little of the boiled mac water to stiffen it with the starch but not needed

[SUlCUNE]

What's nice is the macros are already pretty decent as is for a good quick meal. But anyone can easily bump the protein by using homemade chicken to get the oil/breading lower. Can't wait to try them out.

[lexwritesthings]

This is the first of your recipes that I've tried. WOW is it good. Best Mac I've ever made. Thank you!

[JNBL]

I’m sensing a blow up on this recipe like that blowup I vividly remember of an OG cookie dough 🫣
I’m going to try this one soon! Hope you have a Merry Christmas Nick!

[baddict]

Just made it. Was great but I’m not sure I’ll make it again since it was a nightmare to clean the bottom of the pot since the milk had burned a bit. Not sure how you managed to keep it at high heat. I was stirring the entire time too.

[Ahmed-nyxc]

I have made your Oreo McFlurry copycat recipe and it's amazing!

Out of curiosity, have you made a version of chicken that is similar to Tysons air fried chicken? It'd be amazing to get something similar to that with a bit better macros!

Appreciate the awesome videos!

[tazRenegade]

Looks so indulgent 🤤 I don’t even really like Mac & cheese but this reminds me of when I used to kill boxes of Kraft 😆 I like the idea of adding chicken, too. Thanks Nick!

[royceisaacs]

This looks great and I cant wait to try

Only thing I'll say is I find taking the finished mac into a pan and baking/putting under the broiler for a few mins adds some flavor and depth imo
Additionally throwing in a handful of real bacon bits (1.5f 3p per serv) or some center cut bacon also adds a lot of flavor

[brooklyndiva]

sauce! 🧑‍🍳🧀
S/n: update the noodle amount to the OG recipes so ppl don’t get confused. Looking forward to trying.😋

[convoid]

Is the second one supposed to be so stringy? Do I need more corn starch? Or less corn starch?

[donovanjake]

ayyyy been following a few years. just made the cookie dough from one of your recent videos, ended up watching several old ones this week and you mention you went to SIUE. I graduated there about 7ish years ago, small world. keep it up .

[sussyimpostergriddyhitter]

Do you like that ninja airfryer/pressurecooker? Ive been looking to get it but don't really know if its worth the high price tag

[feruspriest]

Great Mac.

Mine *always* looks like soup when I mix in all the cheese ingredients. It takes a long time for it to look like it does in the videos.

Am I messing something up?
