[3 - 3] when people think of eating healthy and
[3 - 5] meal prep generally they think it's
[5 - 7] expensive is this because the healthy
[7 - 9] meals at a restaurant are way more
[9 - 11] expensive than the ones that aren't good
[11 - 13] for you or is it because we see other
[13 - 15] influences on social media using
[15 - 18] expensive items like salmon
[18 - 21] quinoa asparagus to prep their meals
[21 - 22] well i'm going to show you today that
[22 - 24] that is a misconception and that meal
[24 - 27] prep is not expensive in a recent tick
[27 - 29] tock that we did about prepping meals a
[29 - 30] lot of people came back with the
[30 - 33] response that it's expensive so i'm
[33 - 34] going to show you that that is a
[34 - 36] misconception so here's how to meal prep
[36 - 45] as a student or a broke adult [Music] [Music] yes
[62 - 64] [Music] so if you want to see the results in the
[64 - 65] so if you want to see the results in the gym
[65 - 66] work on your diet
[66 - 69] diet is essential to achieving your
[69 - 71] fitness goals meal prepping is a way to
[71 - 73] ensure that you follow an appropriate
[73 - 75] diet because if your meals are prepped
[75 - 77] and in the containers and ready to be
[77 - 78] consumed it's more likely going to
[78 - 80] follow some sort of structured diet plan
[80 - 81] and just because you're on a diet and
[81 - 83] you're following a meal plan doesn't
[83 - 84] mean your meals have to be bland and
[85 - 88] tasteless so calculate your macros find what works
[88 - 90] so calculate your macros find what works for you and adapt these meals to your
[90 - 93] macros so let's head over to the kitchen
[93 - 95] and get into it i've compiled some of
[95 - 97] the best budget friendly protein sources
[97 - 99] i could find lentils
[99 - 101] my vegan sister would appreciate these
[101 - 103] lentils are seriously underrated these
[103 - 106] grains are full of protein lentils are
[106 - 108] super cheap at almost under one dollar a
[108 - 110] bag you don't want to eat these all day
[110 - 112] so i'd recommend only having them for
[112 - 115] one meal chicken breast the holy grail
[115 - 117] bodybuilders love chicken breast it's
[118 - 120] affordable a solid source of protein and
[127 - 127] eggs deserve a great amino acid profile
[127 - 129] they're also super cheap eggs are a must
[129 - 134] for anyone in fitness or bodybuilding
[137 - 137] lastly whey protein the price of whey
[137 - 139] protein may be a little bit overwhelming
[139 - 141] if you're looking at the cost per tub
[141 - 143] but at the cost per serving actually
[143 - 145] makes it super affordable
[146 - 147] [Music] so for our first meal we're gonna do a
[147 - 150] so for our first meal we're gonna do a tasty breakfast shake
[150 - 151] this shouldn't take more than five
[151 - 153] minutes to make throw the ingredients in
[153 - 156] a blender and you're ready to go
[169 - 171] [Music] meal 2 is our lentil meal
[171 - 173] meal 2 is our lentil meal i like to cook this as close to mince as
[173 - 175] possible to start off with rinsing your
[176 - 178] lentils and put them in a pot with boiling water
[178 - 179] and put them in a pot with boiling water let's make a sauce for that so we're
[179 - 181] going to chop up some tomatoes
[182 - 183] add that to the blender throw in some
[186 - 188] spices give it a good blend
[188 - 189] give it a good blend so once those lentils are close to
[190 - 192] finished add the sauce
[192 - 194] add the sauce add some green beans and let it cook to
[200 - 200] meal 3 is our chicken potato and mixed
[200 - 201] veg so i like to cut the chicken into
[201 - 203] little cubelets that makes a little bit
[203 - 207] more juicy and easier to eat
[209 - 209] personally i like to add some garlic and
[209 - 211] paprika but if you want try some
[212 - 213] turmeric it's a nice natural
[213 - 215] anti-inflammatory for your potatoes you
[215 - 217] can either steam them or boil them
[217 - 219] whichever is more convenient for you and
[219 - 220] the same thing goes for our carrots and
[220 - 232] broccoli [Music]
[232 - 233] [Music] and for our last meal meal four we're
[233 - 236] gonna do a nice egg and rice stir-fry
[236 - 238] so start off by cooking those eggs on
[238 - 241] the pan and then add into the mix some
[241 - 248] pre-boiled rice and cabbage
[250 - 250] add some seasoning of your choice i like
[250 - 252] to keep it low calorie so i went with
[252 - 267] some soya sauce for this one [Music]
[267 - 269] [Music] so now there's no excuses and nothing
[269 - 270] should stop you from reaching your
[270 - 272] fitness goals pretty much for the price
[272 - 275] of one big mac meal you can have
