The best ground beef

Buckle up, grab your reusable grocery bags because we are going to be doing some shopping together.

What kind of meats do we buy? The kind with gd labels. If we don’t know what’s in it we don’t buy it.

94/6 ground beef has 130 kcal and 21g protein per 4oz, whereas 85/15 ground beef has 240kcal and 21g per protein per 4oz. That probably translates to 150 calorie difference per patty.

We need to keep our bad cholesterol (ldl) down / we need to reduce our saturated fat content. Lean protein is defined as less than 10g of fat per 4oz. 94/6 has 4g of fat per serving, 85/15 has 17g of fat per serving.

PSA: Stop Finishing Your Kid’s Food 🛑

Finishing your children’s meals will destroy your diet‼️ I understand you think it’s wasteful to throw it out; but it’s wasteful to eat it also. It’s over nutrition. You do not need it.

The average male eats ~2600 calories a day, and the average female eats ~2100 calories a day to maintain their weight.

Protein Bar Review: Built Bar

Protein on the go review. What do I look for in a protein treat? Convenience, low calories, great tasting, and I can leave it in the console of my car or my duffle bag.

BuiltGo has 100 calories, 15g of protein and 100mg caffeine. It’s a nice afternoon pick me up when a cup of coffee would be over kill, or you need to a little more protein and have a sweet tooth.

Built has products that I use personally and recommend to clients. They are delicious tasting and some of the lowest calories per grams of protein in the game.

IS CHIPOTLE HEALTHY?

Is restaurant food healthy for you❓Depends. Are you going to do your due diligence❓Manage your people‼️

In the case of Chipotle you are going to have your work cut out for you. Cheese is listed as 110 calories at #Chipotle. 🤥 I requested half cheese to which I received a handful of cheese I would speculate was ~300 calories.

Does this mean chipotle is bad? Is Dig Inn bad? Look in the f*cking mirror. It’s on you. Go in their with your head in the game and you can get it done.

Later tonight I will post what I would order if I went to chipotle not on a diet but being about this life.

TRANSFORMATION: Ava

Client spotlight: Ava has been training hard and heavily focused on her diet this semester. Ava had the goal of adding 10lbs of muscle to her frame, she is 5’10 and very active. We worked hard to increase her day to day calories.

The result is she is up 5 lbs of lean mass since the beginning of the year and looks and feels the best she ever has. Ava has a remaining goal of 5lbs of muscle to add. This will probably take her into next year with consistent training and focusing on eating 2400 calories a day.

Amazing work, Ava. All your dedication is paying off.

LEG WORKOUT FOR RUNNERS

Building strength and staying healthy while running 💪

🏃🏻Band Walks – While running you are constantly raising one leg then the other, healthy glutes that activate when you push through the ground to move are pivotal.
🏃🏻 Hexbar Deadlift – Nothing strengthens all of the muscles of your back (the posterior chain) like the deadlift. The hexbar offers all the rewards with less risks.
🏃🏻 Reverse Lunge – build stability and strength in the entire lower body. It also helps develop mobility in the big toe and ankle. Essential for runners.
🏃🏻 Quad / Hip Stretch – Tight hips flexors, quads, adductors and calves are par for the course as runners. You need to handle them before they handle you.

Popcorn Review: Pop Secret, Skinny Pop, Skinny Girl

Popcorn. I love it. I use in when dieting before bed to help me feel full and just fight off any cravings. It’s relatively low in calories / harmless.

Pop Secret has 90 calories a bag. Homestyle. Sea Salt. kettle corn. It taste delicious. It should be marketed as a diet food.

Skinny Pop has 165 calories a bag. It taste like diet pop corn. #basic

Skinny Girl has 150 calories a bag, and the bag is small 🥵 It the worst tasting of the three 🤬

I’M 240 LBS & RUNNING A MARATHON 🏃‍♂️

YES I’M 240 LBS & RUNNING A MARATHON. #bigmenrunning 🏃‍♂️

People keep asking me “Jake, why are you running?” “What’s with the running, Jake?”

The reality is I ask clients every day to take on new tasks and start forming habits in order to change their lives. I ask clients to take it on one day at time and to trust me through all of it.

Running a marathon is an exciting challenge for me; I don’t find it the least bit overwhelming. I just put it in my focus, commit resources to it and trust the process. I know how to design, adjust and recovery from training.

I have never had an interest in running before last month. I haven’t ever been interested in being a runner before. This is what I do, I get people to leave their comfort zone .

TRANSFORMATION: Thad, Will & Pete

Brothers who barbell clean together stay together 💪.

Clients spotlight: Thad, Will & Pete. Brothers/brother-in-law who all work with me; these three decided to get serious about barbell cleans a couple of months ago in the past week they all hit PRs on the movement.

Thad came to me never having hit beyond 145 lbs this past week he hit 190 lbs at a body weight of ~152 lbs.

Will’s personal record was 185 lbs, last week he hit 205 lbs, and this week he got 225 lbs easy.

Peter had done 225 lbs before, but in recent years hadn’t lifted beyond 135 on a bar and mostly just ran. He PR’d 245 lbs this week.

Clients routinely come in to see me to change their bodies, perform at new levels and feel better.

WHY YOU MUST TIME YOUR PROTEIN

NUTRIENT TIMING is essential for building muscle 💪..

Simplified protein does store in your body, it either converts to amino acids or glucose. Clients who are seeking to build muscle need to 4-5 meals daily.

CALORIES is KING. It is the most essential aspect of nutrition. PROTEIN is essential for body composition. .6 – 1 gram per pound of body weight depending on your goals. These are your priorities; however, if you want to build muscle nutrient timing is part of the games.

THREE WISHES CEREAL REVIEW

Three Wishes is local to Westchester and I really like it as a healthy cereal. It’s high in fiber, and almost passes the test for protein (which don’t forget is 10g protein per 100 calories). It also tastes delicious, especially if you are looking for something that isn’t overly processed and low in sugar.
