00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:12.320
Ladies and a gentleman. Welcome to
your Friday episode one Good Question Facts,

2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.599
where we take your questions from Discord. If you want to get involved,

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.679
We got a discord of like minded
individuals where you get some exclusives on close

4
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:24.160
early looks and uh first grabs at
all of our drops. So good company

5
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.359
Discord dot com to join that.
Um, And today we have actually a

6
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.879
couple of people asking similar things,
so we're going to tie them into one.

7
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.799
One is what is your go to
meals for cutting and bulking? And

8
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:43.240
then someone says go to snacks during
a cut or a bulk? Um,

9
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.880
I guess one. I would just
rule out right away. If you are

10
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:52.359
actually cutting and you're locked in,
Um, there are no snacks. Um.

11
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.000
You can kind of, you know, sneaking some fruit or something like

12
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.280
that, but you ain't gonna be
grabbing a fucking handful of chips and cheetos

13
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.679
while you're cutting. And as you
get into your cut, if you're actually

14
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.319
cutting, calories are low, so
it's gonna be very very difficult. Um.

15
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.040
Firsthand experience, bulking is not something
I'm good at. It tends to

16
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.840
be uh, it tends to be
either. I'm kind of maintaining I'm dieting

17
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.959
or I'm just in like a big
fuck you mode. Yeah. So like

18
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.519
yeah, Chipotle and stuff right,
because you can get a burrito and it's

19
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.000
like a thousand calories and sixty protein
and seventy protein not that much fat.

20
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.760
So something like that I think is
something great for bulking. Um, you

21
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.040
know, if you're doing things quote
unquote correctly and a little bit more stable.

22
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.439
Um. Adding calories if you like
food is just too easy, So

23
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.480
I might attack the cutting a little
bit more here. Um. In terms

24
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.439
of like snacks, although protein bars
are convenient, they tend to be a

25
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.680
little bit high and fat, so
I almost make them sometimes more of a

26
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.519
meal in my brain, um,
sort of a meal replacement and stead because

27
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.599
I just don't eat that early anyways. I'm not hungry. Plus it slows

28
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:06.120
me down, So something like that
for breakfast. For me, lunch is

29
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.879
a pound of something, you know, ground turkey, lean beef. I

30
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.400
use some fat free cheese, and
I'll choose a vegetable or two and I'll

31
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.000
literally just put that in a big
old bowl. I'm kind of a volume

32
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.919
meter, and I think you need
to be. If you have trouble cutting,

33
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.159
you gotta find foods that are low
and fat low and carb hid protein

34
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.159
and have a ship ton of volume. So that's obviously why people slam salads

35
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.080
all day. If you moderate your
your toppings and your dressings, it's just

36
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.240
something you can eat, and you
can eat a lot of vegetables are number

37
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.800
two to that. So I do
a ton of vegetables, whether it be

38
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:45.000
a broccoli metally deal. They have
a bunch of weird like cauliflower rice mixes

39
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.439
now, and they don't taste great, but they kind of taste like nothing.

40
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.960
It's just like volume, you know. It's just like fiber some micronutrients,

41
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.319
and I mix that up with whatever
beef I'm eating. Maybe not the

42
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:04.240
quote unquote like healthiest micronutrient, but
I've been doing ground beef, which I

43
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.879
actually think tastes pretty good, Like
it still kind of tastes like beef,

44
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:13.280
just not as oily. And then
I found fat free super like American cheese.

45
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.840
Oh yeah, and so it's like
two carb, four protein per slice.

46
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.840
It's basically like a protein shake and
bright orange cheese. But when you

47
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.080
put it on ground beef, it
just reminds you of like barbecue. As

48
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.400
a kid, like whatever my dad
would like bake burgers and throw fake as

49
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.400
Kraft cheese on top, so it
tastes like that. And then yeah again

50
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.599
like a big ass bowl of broccoli
or something sacks or other meals like Greek

51
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:43.159
yogurt, varying amounts of fat in
there. Again depends on how much you're

52
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.319
trying to cut losing weight, and
like really cutting to look your best can

53
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.159
be different. Like losing weight,
maybe, isn't that difficult, right?

54
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.280
If you're eating seven to eleven all
day and McDonald's all day, you're trying

55
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.560
to cut some shit out possible.
If you're trying to get like shred and

56
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.080
build a bunch of muscle, it
does get a little bit more difficult.

57
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.599
You really got to focus on your
protein and and your energy levels to make

58
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:08.439
sure training is good enough. So
having like yeah, lowish fat foods and

59
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.759
enough carbs and is going to be
the name of the game. Um,

60
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.800
beef jerkys when I'm traveling, even
like some Quest chips or something like that,

61
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.199
beef jerkys so fucking expensive. Yeah, I don't know why that is,

62
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:28.720
but I will say that the um
the quest like cheese at knockoffs,

63
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.439
You're not bad pretty fucking good.
Yeah, not bad. All their chips

64
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.519
have kind of improved. Um yeah, I had like their little you know,

65
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:41.079
onion whatever deal and really not bad
are they? Yeah? Are they

66
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.160
doritos Na? But for the status, you really can't beat it. Trying

67
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.480
to think of what I eat.
I mean, the truth is, yeah,

68
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.040
it's like for convenience, I think, and for like mentally staying on

69
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.040
on your diet, Like it's gonna
have to be pretty routine. So I

70
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.680
buy ten pounds of ground beef and
just eat it once or twice a day

71
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.720
for a week. It doesn't get
that interesting. And I know you are

72
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:06.800
going to click on Instagram and find
all these like great recipes and loaf at

73
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.319
this. But like, unless you
don't have a job, it's gonna be

74
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.519
hard to do, like whip up
something fancy every day that's taste yummy.

75
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.839
Yeah, I mean, but they're
they're there's sort of two philosophies about like

76
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:24.120
what you should eat, and one
of them is like eat really bland things

77
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.079
so you don't want to eat more
of them. The other one is,

78
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.639
you know, hit the macros with
the most interesting food you can. And

79
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.319
I think that, you know,
I think maybe those are things that you

80
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:39.399
pulse off and on to keep yourself
going. And some of it is like

81
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.600
whatever your personality is relatively, if
you don't care about your about what your

82
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.959
food taste, like, you better
be jacked. Yeah, you could.

83
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.199
You can certainly, you know,
you could certainly eat toward that direction because

84
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.639
it doesn't because it kind of doesn't
matter, right, I mean, if

85
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:56.079
you're you know, yeah, yeah, I kind of pulse offing on.

86
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.879
That's a good point because then sometimes
I'll get so bored. I'm like,

87
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.879
all right, let's try something and
nothing that weird. I could make like

88
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.199
a high protein casey d and the
air fryer with like a ship ton of

89
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:09.720
fat free cheese and like a fibrous
tortilla. Yeah. It's just like a

90
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.680
changeup for meating meat and broccoli.
Yeah, just sort of one kind of

91
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:18.079
secret weapon in the in the vegetable
department. Um, I think it's cabbage.

92
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.079
Yeah, it's an easy filler or
kim chi. Yeah, kim chi

93
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.639
really. Yeah, but like you
can take like if you're worried about fat

94
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.839
or whatever, you can you know, kind of just cook down some um,

95
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:36.360
some cabbage in you know, like
broth. It's like chicken broth or

96
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.920
vegetable broth or something like that,
and you get a lot of flavor and

97
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.759
a lot of a lot of calories
and a lot of you know, or

98
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.079
you can just chop it up and
serve it as the as the bed for

99
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.800
whatever protein. Yeah, that's kind
of what I do with like broccoli and

100
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.079
shits, just make it some kind
of filler. So to do a medley

101
00:06:54.120 --> 00:07:00.240
of stuff. Some people have trouble
with the with the broccolis and and and

102
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.000
cauliflowers and stuff like that in terms
of like gas, Yeah, and and

103
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.879
catifibro get your ass. Yeah,
cabbage you know can be gassy, but

104
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.560
not as as gassy as the cruisis
for his stuff. Yeah, Kim cheese

105
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.120
sometimes trying to think and then like
yeah, like talking about the pulsing,

106
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.079
Like you can eat out, you
know, like Chick fil a grilled stuff

107
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.319
or even the regular nuggets aren't that
bad, so you can track and snake

108
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:25.120
sneak that in when you're you know, going a little crazier Chipotle bowls.

109
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:30.639
You go Chipole bowls rice no rice
and get some decent macros in um and

110
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.279
overall like decent food like Chipotle's real
meat and it's real veggies, you know,

111
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.000
it's not like totally made up.
It's just a real lot of salt.

112
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.240
And that's you know, yeah,
but if you have no health conditions,

113
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.279
you'll be all right. Um,
you will suck water after you.

114
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.759
I don't know what else I eat. Traveling has been tough, even though

115
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.360
I've found a way to lose weight, because part of the stupid not stupid,

116
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.600
sorry Bart the barber of a gay
show, was to go on the

117
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.120
cheat meals with our guests. So
we'd film some episodes, we'd work out,

118
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.519
then we go on a cheat meal. And the whole point is that

119
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.519
we're trying their cheat meal, so
I can't not do it. But we

120
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.439
did like six of them, right, So cheat meal is supposed to be

121
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.000
yeah, once a week week,
right, a whole week of cheap meals.

122
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.040
That's like really like six weeks of
cheap meals, right, So then

123
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.680
we'd you know, for dinner,
I just eat like pure chicken breast.

124
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.560
And that's not you know what old
school or not in old school, but

125
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.240
first generation internet flexible dieting looked like, right, like go eat a pound

126
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.639
of ice cream and then just eat
chicken breast all day and I'm not one

127
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.279
to like mega preach balance and all
this stuff, but that's probably not sustainable

128
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.159
and probably not your best way to
go about it. And you know,

129
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.360
yeah, going off the rails here
and there, if you're not a competitor

130
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:48.840
and having a nice meal Mother Day, July fourth, whatever, holidays are

131
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.360
around and you need to or you'd
like to indulge a little bit, I

132
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.360
don't think that's an issue. But
and then yeah, because people eat salad

133
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.679
all day and then slam popped art
set night. Yeah, that's probably not

134
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.480
the best. Problem is that salad. It can be not very filling,

135
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.960
and you can eat a lot of
salad and feel like you can just keep

136
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.159
eating. And that's my issue with
all foods because people say about it,

137
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.679
like rice and potatoes, but I'll
just fucking eat those all day long,

138
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.799
even ground beef. Yeah, I
can eat rice until I'm sick. Yes,

139
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.600
like freshly cooked like a like a
bust melati rice or whatever, even

140
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.320
like yeah, Korean barbecues style stuff, I'll just eat that all day.

141
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.840
Yeah. I could just never stop
at that. Yeah, I don't really

142
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.559
know what's going on, you know, like, yeah, you go,

143
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.840
you choose a lean beef choose a
veggy, you choose some kind of carb

144
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:39.639
depending on your goals, and you
eat that a lot. Repeat. Yeah.

145
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.320
Yeah, I do get a little
creative with my seasonings or my sauces.

146
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.759
You know, that's probably where you're
best at. But I mean,

147
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:48.200
that's just the truth of it.
At the end of the day, you're

148
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.559
gonna have to make some sacrifices in
your palate if you want to look a

149
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.720
certain way or performer a certain way. Yeah. And if you're somebody who's

150
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:05.360
just trying to like always way less
and not to compete, you know,

151
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.679
on stage or anything like that,
then you can be a little bit more

152
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:16.480
liberal and more more creative with it. But don't get so caught up in

153
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:22.960
a diet that's for somebody who's a
competitor that you find yourself incapable of sticking

154
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.080
to it because it's it's too much
from what you're for what you're trying to

155
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.080
accomplish. Yeah, and if you're
trying to play a long game, I

156
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.840
mean, I guess that's one negative
going on to just the industry in general,

157
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.759
because the people that do pop off
are right now it seems to be

158
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.919
competitors. So yeah, they're all
going to look awesome, but their literal

159
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:45.200
job is to look the best human
physique they can, whether that means peds

160
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.480
or just a different lifestyle. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard for me,

161
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.919
all right. I'm not a competitor, but yeah, you look at

162
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.039
those people all day, all day, and yeah, of course you want

163
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.919
to look like them, but they're
making extreme sacrifices and getting paid for it

164
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.000
some nature, yeah, sponsorships or
something. Just as an a side before

165
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.879
we close this out. I think
that surprises me is when you see people

166
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.919
on Instagram or wherever who are jacked
and they don't have a bunch of a

167
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.360
following, and obviously they got jacked
and took these pictures of themselves so they

168
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.159
would like hit and get a following, because otherwise, why would you Why

169
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.120
would you do that? Yeah,
why are you posting it? Why are

170
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.440
you posting it? I know,
I mean you can obviously do it for

171
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.679
your own personal reasons and I don't
have to do with um um with social

172
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:39.919
media, but if you're posting it
on social media, then you really want

173
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.600
the approval and yeah, sometimes you
don't get it. Yeah, Yeah,

174
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.960
there's a little bit of luck,
a little bit of creativity, a little

175
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.759
bit of collaboration, and then yeah, maybe you don't look as good as

176
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:56.240
you thought. Often Creamers is the
top on social media, but not always.

177
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:01.080
And yeah, and some people,
you know, they just weren't necessarily

178
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.879
born with a with a body type. It's gonna look like a you know,

179
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.279
somebody they admire on social media or
YouTube or whatever. Yeah, angles

180
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.440
pictures, Yeah, posing is so
much on the internet now, Yeah for

181
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.360
sure, for sure. Um all
right, yeah, hopefully some ideas for

182
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.000
snacks. Sorry, that wasn't that
as exciting as you want. I don't

183
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.000
know. I'm not mister creative with
it. But that's the truth is.

184
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.399
You probably can't get too creative if
you want to dive in new episodes every
