Summer 2026 Aldi Grocery Haul | The BEST High-Protein Foods to Buy at Aldi

Looking for the healthiest, highest-protein foods at @ALDIUSA this summer? In this complete grocery haul, I walk you through the store and show you exactly what I’d buy if my goal was losing fat, building muscle, and eating healthier without spending a fortune.

We’ll cover affordable staples, hidden gems, and brand dupes while breaking down calories, protein, fiber, and overall value. You’ll also learn my simple Protein Test so you can quickly identify high-protein foods every time you shop.

In this video, you’ll learn:
-The best high-protein breads, bagels, and breakfast foods
-Aldi alternatives to popular brands like @fairlife and Oikos
-The best protein-rich dairy products and drinkable yogurts
-What frozen foods are worth buying—and which ones to skip
-The leanest cuts of chicken, beef, and steak
-Budget-friendly meal ideas to help you hit your macros
-My favorite protein shakes and supplements available at Aldi

My nutrition philosophy is built around flexible dieting, eating mostly whole, single-ingredient foods while leaving room for the foods you enjoy. You don’t need to eliminate bread, snacks, or your favorite meals to make incredible progress. You simply need to understand calories, protein, fiber, and portion sizes.

If you’re tired of fad diets and want a sustainable approach to nutrition, this video will show you exactly how I shop.

New on Costco shelves this summer: baked chicken wings from the rotisserie department! While direct nutritional information isn’t available yet, they are estimated to be around 250 calories and 21g of protein per 3 oz of meat (excluding the bone). This estimation is based on Costco’s confirmed stats for their traditional seasoned rotisserie chicken, which has 140 calories and 19g of protein per 3 oz of meat with some skin.

These baked wings make for a quick, easy, and high-protein dinner option from time to time.

Want to look better in and out of your clothes? Focus on training the specific parts of your shoulders that pop: the lateral delt and the rear delt.

Here are three excellent exercises to emphasize:
1️⃣ Lateral Raises: Keep your arm fully extended and long the entire way across, reaching away from your body as if you’re trying to poke something.
2️⃣ Cross-Body Lateral Raises: This variation works closer to your rear delt. When performing this, think about backhanding or slapping someone behind you.
3️⃣ Rear Delt Flyes: Start with your hands out straight in front of you and reach really far away from your body the entire time. Make sure your shoulder blades never squeeze together.

Babybel “Pro” and Babybel “Light” (reduced fat) are the exact same food.

Babybel “Pro” and Babybel “Light” (reduced fat) are the exact same food.
They both have:
👉️ 50 calories
👉️ 5 grams of protein

The exact same macros. The only difference is that one is marketed as high protein with probiotics, while the other is marketed as reduced fat. It’s just a case of clever marketing.

Reviewing Frozen One protein ice cream pints:
The Macros: 40g of protein per pint. Calories vary by flavor, ranging from 120 calories for Apple Pie up to 140 calories (and 430 total calories per pint) for Peanut Butter Chip.

The Protein Test: The Dutch Chocolate and Apple Pie flavors pass the protein test, while the Peanut Butter Chip just misses the mark.

The Texture: Ingredients include allulose, grape sweetener, chicory fiber, and guar gum. The use of guar gum throws off the texture; xanthan gum would provide a much better consistency.

The Taste:
Dutch Chocolate & Apple Pie: Not bad, but not particularly good.
Peanut Butter Chip: Has a rough aftertaste.

The Verdict: It’s a hard pass. With so many superior options on the market like Halo Top, Protein Pints, and David’s protein ice cream, this one just doesn’t measure up.

The ULTIMATE Target Grocery Haul (Summer 2026) | The Best High-Protein, Low-Calorie Foods

Think Target is just for home décor and toiletries? Think again.

In today’s video, I’m taking you through the best high-protein, low-calorie, high-fiber foods you can buy at Target in Summer 2026. Whether your goal is fat loss, building muscle, body recomposition, or simply eating healthier, these are the foods I personally recommend to my coaching clients.

We’ll cover:
✅ The best high-protein meats and seafood
✅ My “Protein Test” for choosing healthier foods
✅ High-protein yogurt and breakfast options
✅ High-fiber snacks and desserts
✅ Macro-friendly ice cream, candy, and cereals
✅ How to build sustainable nutrition for long-term success

My nutrition philosophy has always been simple:

🥩 80% of your diet should come from single-ingredient foods like lean meats, fruits, vegetables, eggs, seafood, potatoes, rice, and beans.

🍦 The remaining 20% can include foods you enjoy with your family—or foods that help you hit your protein and fiber goals while making your nutrition easier to stick to.

Consistency beats perfection every single time.

Most bicep curls are redundant, pick a curl, any curl and progress it. This is because most curls only involve flexion and extension of the elbow. I like to incorporate variations that incorporate these two key components:

🔄 Wrist Rotation: Choose a curl that allows your wrist to go through supination and pronation (wrist turning).

🔥 Lengthened Challenge: Most curls are only difficult at the mid-portion of the exercise. I look for variations that offer a challenge both at the bottom and mid range of motion.
Such as:
Incline bicep curls
Preacher curls
Bayesian curls

The incline curl allows for full wrist rotation, and lowering the incline increases the difficulty in the bottom range.

Don’t believe everything you see on TikTok 🤫. Cream of rice is trending, but from a taste and nutrition standpoint, it might not be worth your macros.

If you’re dieting, there are simply better carbohydrate sources out there, like oatmeal or potatoes, which offers superior macros, prebiotic fiber, and better support for your gut health.
