thanks a lot. love it
This is such an important message! As a nutrition expert, I often see people overcomplicate healthy eating when the real key is consistency and simple habits that fit into everyday life.
Healthy cooking doesn't need to be boring, expensive, or complicated—it needs to be sustainable. Which of these habits do you think is the hardest for people to maintain? 👇
Great approach to healthy cooking making nutritious food enjoyable is what makes healthy habits sustainable. I’d also pair this with tracking sleep, activity and recovery. "AlterMe Ring" can be useful for keeping an eye on those wellness patterns and seeing how your daily habits fit into your overall routine.
Great advice! Healthy eating becomes much easier when you focus on sustainable habits instead of strict rules. I've also found that using tools like the AlterMe Ring to track sleep, activity, and recovery helps me make better decisions about my nutrition and overall wellness.

crazy u eat like me but good
Bro cooking is hard
Incredible video all around
Weight is one thing, but processed food causes cancer, and cancer doesn’t care if you are thin or fat.
I've been struggling with eating out all the time and I never learned the basics of cooking for myself or basic nutrition concepts. This video was SUPER helpful and I took a ton of screenshots. Looking forward to checking out your website and more videos.
Thanks Chef, Redhead. Lol
I love vite ramen and i dont even buy it haha their CEO does great ads on insta
I just have on question. Did he swallow that bit of Tweenkie? lol
My confusion just packed its bags and left.
❤😊
I’m in awe of how clearly you explained this!
One of the most practical healthy cooking videos on YouTube.
I didn’t expect to learn, yet here I am—smarter and stunned.
My mouth this entire video was a river. I cant wait to put this into practice next time I go grocery shopping. Thank you so much, i am very grateful for this video.
Eating healthy will never taste as good as eating unhealthy.
For the record, Day O is Dayton, Ohio.
O.7 per pound is perfect, more isnt necessary accordin to the most recent data btw
This video was amazing. Thank you! More please!🩷🩷🩷
The Twinkies…
Oh Ethan, I appreciate that you made me giggle.
1 g of protein per 1lb of body weight sounds like something completely made up by the internet. If it were scientific it would be like 0.812g or something like that, rather than something obviously rounded up from something more precise.
I feel smarter than I have any right to.
AI has not done you justice 😮
I'm just now finding your channel 😊😊😊😊
I didn’t just learn—I upgraded my operating system.
I’m honestly amazed by your talent as a teacher!
You are so right stating that there are nuances that need to be dealt with for cooking for weight loss that no one is talking about. Well done! There is one other that I don’t hear talked about as well. That is how to implement all this for the calorie needs of an older person. I am a 72 year old woman who resistance trains four days a week to keep or increase muscle mass. I need 115 grams of protein a day at least because older people don’t process protein as fully as a younger person. Plus, I don’t need as many calories as I used to, so I eat way less than I did. And I don’t want to put on weight, which I can do easily. That 115 grams of protein doesn’t leave much room for carbs and fats. Most chefs’ sandwiches would do me for the day. I know what to do, I just wanted to put it out there because it’s pretty challenging. But, hey, it’s a new year and this video was inspiring! So back to the drawing board and Thank You!
1:23 A book by mike israetel??? Really Ethan……
I’m genuinely excited to learn more from you!
I’m shocked at how good this video is!
I was ready to give up, but then this video said "not today."
Hands down the best tutorial I’ve ever seen!
Such a great transformation. I've come across a tool, Healix ai, that helps with dieting and weight loss goals. I'm looking forward to a great progress.
1:33 not the book from the dude who couldn't even write a proper thesis to actually earn his degree lmao… Or spell "Nutrient" for that matter, apparently. I can guarantee you Israetel made those percentages up.
Omg I love twinkies.
This may be the best video I’ve ever seen about nutrition! Thank you for this and for making it free!
You just turned frustration into excitement!
My brain unlocked a hidden achievement thanks to this.
This completely changed the game for me!
You’ve earned a lifelong viewer with this!
The clarity here is off the charts!
I didn’t just learn—I upgraded my operating system.
So refreshing to be taught principles that can apply to individuals lifestyles rather than "you have to do this, and this only". Thanks for sharing your expertise, knowledge and experience.
What an incredibly informative and helpful video, thank you very much, subscribed!
13:27 WOW I need this asap👌🏾
You just made my entire day with this explanation!
