I've had a question that I just cant find the answer to anywhere online. But when measuring lentils or beans for macros, do you measure it dry or after its been cooked/boiled. Because 200 g lentils dry made A LOT of cooked lentils and it felt like it wasn't right. Also when looking on google or something for the macros of lentils or beans, does the nutritional value change after cooking them. I think it does for kidney beans but what about the others?
Very insightful thanks for your content as always! I have another nutrition question for you not sure if you mentioned it in a previous video but is saturated fat from coconut bad? I've read different studies with a variety of thoughts on the matter so not really sure what to think. I know coconut has MCTS which are supposedly good for health. For eggs I tried JustEgg Folded and they are excellent for a sandwich. Keep up the good work!
I read the ingredients even though it may say it doesn't contain allergens (eggs, wheat, dairy, etc). It is still possible it could have animal products like lactose that didn't make the list.
One of the things is looking above and below eye level. The store will place the brandstuff with the highest margins on those shelfs, but some of the real gems are non name brand low in price on that lowest shelf, way in the back. I found some popped wheat wafels there that are so awesome!!!
Good points, especially about buying just one 'cheat' or cheat-ish food, and lentils, the go to high protein food for a quick meal. I have a wide variety of legumes but the brown (whole, not pink without skin) tiny circular lentils are particularly useful for being fast cooking. Among fruits bananas are sonething to always keep in mind I think: uniquely satisfying, available always, not expensive, but needing to be bought frequently as I feel they have a lower shelf life than other fruits.
The allergy thing doesn’t include things like beef and chicken fat for example. I’ve had store brand “herb stuffing” with chicken fat in it without any mention other than in the ingredients. There aren’t that many examples of this though. 🔍 🌱
There’s no vegan section at the grocery store in my country 🥲 mainly vegetarian and all of the plant based meats are packed together with animal meat. 😢
My tip is to buy store brand foods to save money. When you're shopping for things like oats and pasta, the difference is small between store brand and name brand items.
Brian, did that mic block out grocery store sounds so we could hear your voice better?
I have looked at some products that say may contain milk, then read the ingredients and they did have milk in them. So the trick to read the end of the label doesn't always work.
Yo the big mic in the grocery store got me! 😂 Did you pay someone off? The US is different man. I’ve been banned from filming in a few of the grocery stores in town… and never with a mic! 🎤
Going to the end of the ingredient list is so much quicker! I didn't know that one! Only choose one sweet a week is a great idea! These are great tips!
Great video bro! Another pro tip is shop the outside edges of the store first & fill your cart with as much whole foods as you can & then go to the convenience foods 😁 you by less of them that way ☺
Good, thanks. Some tips from me:- Update: noticed 'ONE tip' only later but since I've already typed and posted a few tips – I apologize. 1. Fresh ginger root: Dr. Michael Greger a couple of years ago had noted in a video that for fighting viruses fresh ginger had been found greatly effective, much more than dried ginger which of course is helpful in other ways. So through most of the pandemic I went back to fresh ginger every day: here in India fresh ginger is ubiquitous but since it's a bit of a drag to have it always on hand, and not deteriorated like becoming tough or limp I had been using powdered dried ginger, or the ready bought paste. So having enough fresh ginger, buying just a bit each time, may be worth considering. 2. Also garlic: again said to be great for fighting germs, one should make sure to have some on hand always. 3. Other than the food groups listed in the video good sources of fat should always be around: nuts, pumpkin seeds, other seeds like sesame maybe and of course like ginger and garlic I have flaxseed powder every day so that must always be present, whether the ready powder like I buy or the seeds to grind up. Similarly for chia if using. If one is into avocadoes, those too. 4. I use fresh lime (like lemon) every day and make sure to have plenty on hand, to squeeze for the taste, flavour, 'zing' and the limonenes, terpenes etc. Very good for health and the real thing is probably more satisfying than pre squeezed lemon juice. 5. While of course all vegetables have their place, and I have a variety each day, potatoes, tomatoes, onions and cabbage are probably the most important. Cabbage lasts long in storage, cooks easily, is pleasant enough and is technically a leafy vegetable, cruciferous too. Onions and tomatoes are special, and potatoes maybe super special: great for rustling up a meal. These four plus something bright or dark green like capsicum/peppers means one can have a satisfying quick meal any time. 6. In a video dietician Brenda Davis said that spices should be included in the daily recommended food. I make sure to have them in stock always: turmeric, black pepper, cumin, coriander seed powder, fenugreek seeds, plain mustard powder, amla powder.
another tip re: checking ingredients — i like to go to the cholesterol first, dietary cholesterol ALWAYS comes from animal products, so if there's even a little cholesterol in a product that means it's not vegan 🤷♀

I hate that they mix in the vegan meats with the non vegan meats because it's so disgusting and disturbing to see the raw, bloody, ground and cut up animal parts. I wish they kept them separate.
I've been eating the Nugo Slim, or Barebell vegan protein bars when I need something sweet, or a mushroom based hot chocolate. At least there's some nutritional value in there. But you are right, only get ONE sweet thing!
What's ONE tip that you can add? 👇🏼👇🏼 Also, I'm looking to help vegans lose fat and gain muscle, send me "GET FIT" on IG for details! 💪🏼
I wish they would put the Just Egg with the other vegan stuff and not with the eggs. The egg section grosses me out.
Thanks for the content! 🌿

Those are some great tips our grocery stores are set up that way as well. I love how you're walking around with a microphone such confidence. Lol
I heard you say only one sweet a week but I think you meant one sweet a day right?!? Lol
0:20 sideboob Wow Just Egg is $4.10 here 3:58 😆

Does anyone know if accutane stops u from growing

Where do you guys find seitan? I can never find it at the 2 grocery stores I go too (shaws market basket)
Out of all the Vegan body builders I've seen on youtube, you are the best looking.
Simply delicious
Looks like that store has a big selection of non-dairy Ben & Jerry's! My store only carries 3 flavors, so I'm jealous.
Going to the end of the ingredient list is so much quicker! I didn't know that one! Only choose one sweet a week is a great idea! These are great tips!
*brings a full blown mic to the grocery store*. This is amazing.
Great video bro! Another pro tip is shop the outside edges of the store first & fill your cart with as much whole foods as you can & then go to the convenience foods 😁 you by less of them that way ☺
Awesome video as always!! Thank you for all you do for the vegan / healthy living community 🌱💚✨😊
