00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.960
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to an
episode of One Good Question, our Friday

2
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.599
episode where we take a question from
y'all in the community. If you want

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.079
to get involved good Company discord dot
com. There's a little tab on the

4
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.519
left where you can ask any question
you want. Today's question let's go one

5
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.480
by one. It says, give
us your best macro friendly recipe that anyone

6
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:30.879
of any skill cooking can do.
So we don't necessarily give recipes, but

7
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.600
Jerry recently has lost like seventy pounds, Jack Skinny. Everyone's here has dieted

8
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.200
at some point, so maybe just
mentioned like a favorite protein ish healthy ish

9
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.719
meal or like a staple. I'm
a pretty like basic dude, so I

10
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.719
just eat like the basics. I'm
not really too much of a chef,

11
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.880
but something that's easy that I cook
on the go and go to work.

12
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.880
It's probably just ninety six and four
percent ground beef with you could either mix

13
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.280
it up with like some rice,
some white rice, or like a tortilla,

14
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.480
and then you can just throw some
cheese in there with some light greens

15
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.799
using my go to meal, some
like saracha on there. That's so easy.

16
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.280
That's kind of my go to too, some kind of ground beef.

17
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.319
We did it for a YouTube video. But you do cauliflower rice if you're

18
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.879
really dieting, if you need a
little carbons, you can do regular rice.

19
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:19.799
I used to do a pound of
veggies, like mixed veggies, stir

20
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.560
it all up. You do a
little bit non fat cheese. And then

21
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.719
I was using like siracha. There's
like soy sauce, seracha sugar free or

22
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.599
low sugar ketchup or barbecue to kind
of wetten that thing up a little bit.

23
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.920
Balo. Yeah, yeah, Buffalo
is an easy one. It's just

24
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.879
so easy, so convenient. And
I've found, at least for me,

25
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.319
maybe Jerry and you guys can agree
that, like it's just less likely to

26
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.719
get old. I've done like chicken
breasts, and I've done tilapia and all

27
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.400
that stuff. It just tastes old, you know, and you're just like,

28
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.799
man, I'm sick of it in
two days. Where ground beef it

29
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.200
tastes five. I almost eat it
every day for years and it doesn't really

30
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.439
get old, and you just switch
sauces around it and it's pretty solid.

31
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.840
I'm gonna put y'all on mushroom seasoning. Go get him as super x market

32
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.719
or something like that. I never
heard of it, guys Asian powder stuff.

33
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.400
Yeah, it's like an alternative to
like salt, but it still zero

34
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.400
calories. Yeah, it makes it
like it gives like a little bit of

35
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.199
like a like a moremi taste.
Ye good words, it's real good.

36
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.199
It's real good. We use that. That was like a smaller dude calories.

37
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.360
I go turkey ground turkey. That's
disgusting. What dude, I don't

38
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.800
get as much to play with this
you whoa, whoa? We know that

39
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:38.599
already. Wait a minute, I
ain't got a real estate. I love

40
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.319
it. Less calories. Yeah,
you just get you just get hello lean.

41
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.520
Yeah, let's just go. That's
why we go to Walmart. Walmart

42
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.439
boys, the maount of you can
get it for turkey, Ye tue,

43
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.879
you get way more. It is
a little drier though. I tried ninety

44
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:59.840
nine one ground turkey. Okay,
cho, what the is that? That's

45
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.520
why ninety six beef is kind of
the sweet spot. It's lean as ship,

46
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.919
but it's still got like flavor.
You go ninety ninety six or ninety

47
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.240
nine turkey. Your chicken is so
bad. I don't get too crafty with

48
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:14.120
it because I feel like, for
me, you gotta the switch mother on.

49
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.319
I'm off living in that in between
a little too tough. So I

50
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:23.800
think it's just ground turkey rice.
But one banger Ninja creamy game Ninja creamy

51
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.520
is a life changer. All the
gimmicks ever we're gonna talk about, Like,

52
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.280
no, no, it's a game
changer. Cheving meat, it's probably

53
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.280
ninja creamy. Yeah, it's actually
a game changer. You do a you

54
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.360
could do fair Life milk, but
you do a fair Life shake. Just

55
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.960
a sprinkle of non sugar zero col
jello. Yeah, it's a game changer.

56
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.479
It really is. And I'm fat. Man. I love ice cream.

57
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.479
It's better than any diet i've ice
cream I've ever had. It's better

58
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.439
than fucking Halo Top. It's better
than all that. I think the best

59
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.159
one Halo Top. Those cookie don't
I can't find anything. It's not even

60
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:54.560
that good cookie Halo Top to mes. Yeah, I don't know why,

61
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:58.560
hot take. I don't like ice
cream at all. WHOA, No,

62
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.000
that's quite crazy. What do that
case? I don't like I don't like

63
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:08.560
cakes. Those are like my two
like I hate the most, dude,

64
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:14.280
I tell you everything else a lot
of like mung food is like very oil

65
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.319
oily full. So it's like she
got a go. Yeah, I'm pretty

66
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:23.959
sure. Once I hit like thirty
five kicking in, it's gonna be out

67
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:30.360
this world. This this brings about
a story back in the the old st

68
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.199
days. We were in a like
light industrial space, a little small fucking

69
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:43.360
thing in North Sack and our roll
up door opened to this like common area

70
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.519
with all the other places, you
know, all the all the rear end

71
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:54.279
entrances are of the places like opened
into the same space. There was a

72
00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:02.079
long funeral home in one of them, and every weekend there was like funeral

73
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.120
after funeral after funeral, and they
would do all the food prep there and

74
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:13.439
there was literally like live chickens running
around in the place and and and uh

75
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:15.800
incense, and it was was crazy. I mean we had I mean they

76
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.600
offered its food. We ate it
sometimes, but it was it was so

77
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.199
Crazy's up by where he grew up, probably the church you go to.

78
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.319
We don't we don't do what what
is it? We don't do live slaughterings

79
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.120
at my church. But yeah,
I think it was up in It was

80
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.160
up in like northern Sagramento. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, it was up

81
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.040
there. Yeah, it was crazy
to be like working out and there's like

82
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:41.480
chickens that are that are like on
their last hour, you know what I

83
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.279
mean. Yeah, I was probably
the little kids running around you probably probably

84
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:50.000
so Yerry Jerry, one very very
little kid in you know. Two thousand

85
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.319
and six, two thousand and seven. Uh. Speaking of chicken and devices,

86
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:02.560
instant pot chicken, chicken breasts,
slow cookers, bang fast. You

87
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:12.079
go two cups of chicken broth and
then put whatever however many chicken breasts your

88
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.160
your CoA. It depends on how
thick they are, but normally you put

89
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:23.160
them on manual for like six minutes, let it release naturally for about five

90
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:28.000
and then kick it off, release
all the steam, and you're not you're

91
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.199
not making dental floss, you know
how chicken breast can be. And then

92
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.759
which is stored in the fridge,
you just take all that broth and put

93
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:41.319
it in there so that it stays
moist delicious. Uh, lemon pepper or

94
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.519
whatever you want to put on it. You know, lemon pepper is probably

95
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.480
the easiest and kind of the best
result. I'm gonna put that five spice

96
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:59.040
in there, so what the spice
you got some subas, probably something that

97
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:09.000
a whole year breakfast was a protein
fuck not waffles, French toast prote I

98
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.560
would go like egg whites, low
car bread, yeah, and wehaty bread.

99
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.560
Cinnamon yeah, can bang low coal. Yeah. I like thet yeah,

100
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.720
low cinnamon bay. Yeah, that's
an easy one for sure, And

101
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.160
you get a lot of volume in
if you get some bigger breads with like

102
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.160
low cows in it. Air fries
another easy piece, Like you go chicken

103
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.319
thighs in there. Bro, chicken
thighs in an air fire. Bro,

104
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.560
they go so hard. They're a
little bit they're a little bit higher fat.

105
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:40.399
But air fried chick chicken thighs go
crazy. Shrimp easy crazy, a

106
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.439
little more expensive, but you throw
that in the air fry or even the

107
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.199
oven is so easy. Potatoes in
the air fry easy. Yeah. The

108
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.160
air fry does just make ship kind
of like your pot Yeah. It depends

109
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.199
on where you're at, right,
yeah, or you just go lower carb

110
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.759
on it, dude. I'm fine
with air friers do. What I don't

111
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.279
like is anything any part of the
chicken that's not the breast, because everything

112
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.959
else is like too visceral, Like
that's oily for sure, and your like

113
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.439
here's like tendons and ligaments and vessels
and like that. Oh it makes me

114
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:15.360
nuts. It makes me nuts.
I grew up eating live like you bust

115
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.079
down on cardilios and stuff like.
Yes, it's just my thing. That's

116
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.680
it. Ladies and gentlemen. We
basic Sometimes the basics are the easiest because

117
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.519
they store better, they quick,
cook quick, and the bigger thing is

118
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.839
you just know what's going into it. So if you really are tracking your

119
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.399
protein your calories, the more shit
you get, there's just more areas to

120
00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:35.639
mess up and it gets a little
more complicated. So keeping the basics easy

121
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.360
and then you know, if you
got to sneak in your Chipotle burrito here

122
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.720
and there once a week, you
can track that easy. But the basics

123
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.919
work, man, both in the
gym and nutrition. Where can they find
