00:00 Hey guys, and welcome back to my channel.
00:01 And this video has been so requested.
00:04 And today I'm doing a what I eat in a day.
00:06 And this video is focusing on healthy, quick to make meals.
00:10 And they're affordable because I'm a dental student
00:13 and I'm living on loans.
00:14 So I'm not trying to go out for every meal, you know?
00:16 I don't even remember the last time I like bought food out
00:20 because I literally bring my lunch every day.
00:22 I make it a priority.
00:23 For people who say that they don't have enough time
00:25 to make lunch, it literally takes longer to go drive
00:28 and get lunch somewhere, or even go to your cafeteria
00:31 because I just pop my food in the microwave.
00:33 It takes two seconds at school.
00:35 And I always make it the night before.
00:37 I spend about 30 minutes cooking per day.
00:39 That's breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
00:41 I do it all at once.
00:42 I make it super easy for myself.
00:44 So it's actually the night before right now.
00:45 So I'm going to show you how I make my breakfast
00:48 and lunch for tomorrow.
00:49 And then I'll also show you like which snacks I'm packing.
00:52 And I'll show you like what I actually eat
00:54 throughout the day and whatnot.
00:55 But yeah, first I'm gonna start by making my breakfast,
00:58 which are my overnight protein oats.
01:00 I eat these every single day.
01:01 And it's a great way to use flavored protein
01:04 because I used to only ever get vanilla protein
01:06 because like I wouldn't want to put any flavors
01:09 in my smoothies.
01:10 But when you have really good flavors of protein,
01:12 you can put them in the oats
01:13 and it just like totally changes the flavor.
01:14 So it's like, yeah, I can have protein oats every day,
01:17 but some days I have blueberry muffins.
01:19 Some days I have cookies and cream.
01:21 Some days I have chocolate.
01:22 And today I'm going to make my pumpkin pie oats,
01:24 which I gave these to my boyfriend Ian the other day.
01:26 And he was like, holy crap,
01:27 like this literally takes like pumpkin pie.
01:29 So good.
01:30 So anyway, let's start by making that.
01:32 Can't promise that the lighting is gonna be good
01:34 in the kitchen because it is late at night.
01:36 But yeah, anyways, I'm just showing you
01:37 how I make it right now.
01:39 And then I'll be eating it tomorrow.
01:40 But again, I always make my food in advance
01:43 because ain't nobody got time to pack their lunch
01:46 and make breakfast in the morning, okay?
01:47 I literally eat my breakfast either in class
01:49 or on the way to class.
01:51 So saves time.
01:52 Okay, I hope the lighting isn't awful
01:54 because this is all we got.
01:55 Okay, so I have all the ingredients
01:57 for my protein oats here.
01:58 It's pretty simple.
02:00 I make them in a Mason jar so that I can just like
02:02 shake it up, put it in the fridge,
02:03 and leave it for the next day.
02:05 And it's also really easy to like transport
02:07 to and from class.
02:08 Obviously we have oats.
02:09 I just use the old fashioned oats.
02:10 I wouldn't recommend getting instant oats
02:12 because they just like, they're, I don't know,
02:14 they're all broken up oats.
02:15 They don't really taste very good.
02:16 I use almond milk.
02:18 This one just happened to be organic.
02:19 I don't really usually care about being organic,
02:21 even though maybe I should.
02:22 And then this is my like half used like pumpkin.
02:25 You have to get just pumpkin puree.
02:26 Like the only ingredient in this is pumpkin.
02:28 It's not pumpkin pie filling.
02:30 Don't get that because that has sugar in it
02:32 and a bunch of other stuff.
02:33 All you need is plain old pumpkin.
02:35 I got this at Target.
02:35 You can literally get it anywhere, any grocery store.
02:38 Trader Joe's has it.
02:39 And the main ingredient in this
02:41 that I think really makes the difference
02:42 is the level one protein.
02:44 First of all, I love this protein
02:45 because it's sustained assimilation way.
02:47 It's not like the super fast absorbing way.
02:50 So it's really good for the oats
02:51 because it'll stay with you for a long time.
02:53 I can usually eat these around eight o'clock in the morning
02:56 and I'm not hungry until lunch.
02:57 Like I don't usually have to have snacks in the morning.
03:00 Sometimes I'll have some fruit,
03:01 just like a little mini snack.
03:02 But when I used to eat like two eggs
03:04 and some toast in the morning,
03:05 I used to be starving by lunch.
03:06 So super important.
03:08 This really adds a lot of the pumpkin pie flavor,
03:10 the spice and everything.
03:11 And I've tried other protein in my oats
03:13 and it just makes it really grainy and powdery.
03:16 This, you can honestly barely tell it's there
03:18 and it's like still super creamy and really thick.
03:21 So I will be linking this down below
03:23 and my link gives you free shipping.
03:24 So if you want to try it.
03:25 Also they have a money back guarantees.
03:27 So if you don't like the protein,
03:28 it's no big deal.
03:29 Like you won't have wasted money on it.
03:30 Anyways, I'm going to make my oats
03:31 and I'm going to put like the ingredients
03:33 in the amounts on the screen for you guys.
03:35 And yeah.
03:36 (upbeat music)
03:39 (upbeat music)
03:41 (upbeat music)
03:44 (upbeat music)
03:46 (upbeat music)
03:49 (upbeat music)
03:52 (upbeat music)
03:54 (upbeat music)
03:57 Okay, my oats are ready to go.
04:00 This is what they look like.
04:01 Basically you just want all of the oats
04:02 covered by like some liquid.
04:04 It will thicken up overnight.
04:05 The protein also makes it like really thick.
04:07 So now I'm just going to pop this in the fridge
04:09 and make my lunch.
04:10 Okay, the artificial lighting is just not my friend today.
04:13 So sorry about the situation,
04:15 but now I'm going to make my lunch.
04:17 So for lunch,
04:18 I've just been having these little burrito bowl things.
04:21 So I basically have my basic ingredients out.
04:23 I'm just going to put them in this little Tupperware
04:27 and I'm going to have some rice
04:28 and I already have some rice
04:29 all ready to go for my rice cooker.
04:31 If you eat a lot of rice,
04:32 10 out of 10 recommend this.
04:34 Like it's just so good.
04:35 And then I'm going to cook up some lean ground beef.
04:38 Sometimes I'll put turkey in this,
04:41 but today I wanted the beef.
04:43 So 93% lean and I'm going to use just taco seasoning.
04:48 Taco seasoning is super cheap
04:50 and it just works on so many things.
04:52 Like I put it on my chicken,
04:53 like I put on everything.
04:55 So taco seasoning,
04:56 I got some whole black beans.
04:58 I like whole beans rather than refried
05:00 just cause I think they give a little more structure.
05:03 And I bought some pico de gallo salsa.
05:06 So yeah, it was super cheap.
05:08 And honestly it's like very low in calories
05:10 cause just like tomatoes and everything.
05:11 So pretty healthy.
05:13 Not that calories imply health,
05:14 you know what I mean?
05:15 And then I'm going to cut up half an avocado
05:17 to put on top cause I don't have any guac.
05:19 So that's what we're doing.
05:21 So I'm going to pile everything into here
05:22 and we're going to cook it up.
05:24 So I'm going to start by cooking up the lean ground beef.
05:26 I don't really need to cook anything else
05:28 cause like the beans are technically already done.
05:29 Like, and I'm going to microwave them.
05:31 So I don't add any oil or anything to my pan
05:34 cause it is nonstick, but yeah, it's just like,
05:37 and this has some fat to it.
05:38 So you don't really need any oil.
05:40 So I don't add it.
05:41 (upbeat music)
05:43 the meat.
05:44 (upbeat music)
05:47 (upbeat music)
05:49 (upbeat music)
05:52 (upbeat music)
06:21 So here's what I have.
06:22 I have my little pico de gallo
06:24 with about half of an avocado.
06:26 I put this in a separate little container
06:28 because I don't want to microwave it
06:30 like along with all that stuff.
06:32 So this will go in the fridge
06:34 and then we have a little bit of rice, some beans.
06:38 By the way, I do not track my calories.
06:40 So I honestly don't have no clue how many calories this is.
06:43 Oh, Peach, hey, it's almost like it's your dinner time.
06:48 It's not.
06:49 So yeah, my rice and my beans
06:51 and then I'll probably put about a third to a quarter
06:55 of this beef in there.
06:57 Occasionally I weigh it.
06:58 I usually go for about three to four ounces,
07:01 usually more on the three side
07:02 just because I do have the beans in here too.
07:05 So that's like another source of protein.
07:06 It'll also keep me full.
07:08 So I don't need like a ton of the beef
07:10 and then the rest of the beef.
07:11 I literally just do the exact same thing
07:13 so that I don't have to cook it up again
07:14 and use it for the next day's lunch.
07:16 So it'll probably give me about three to four lunches.
07:19 Super easy, super quick.
07:20 I literally only had to cook one time for like four lunches.
07:23 So I'm gonna pack this all up
07:24 and then I'm gonna pack some snacks
07:25 and I will show you guys that.
07:26 For snacks, I'm gonna pack myself these little grapes.
07:30 And as you can see, I just put all of my food
07:33 for the next day all right next to each other,
07:35 usually on this little quarter of the fridge.
07:38 So I just know this is what I grab in the morning.
07:41 And for my other snack, I have a lot of goldfish.
07:46 Guys, I'm obsessed with goldfish.
07:49 I think I'm gonna have one of my little built bars.
07:53 It's the peanut butter flavor.
07:54 So I'm probably gonna have this as a snack.
07:56 I haven't even unpacked my backpack yet,
07:58 but I'm just gonna put my little built bar
08:00 in with my other snacks.
08:01 I also have my little bada beans in here.
08:04 I often just like have snacks in my bag
08:06 just in case I get hungry.
08:08 I'll probably end up packing a little Oreo or two
08:10 because I just like to have a little something sweet
08:12 after lunch.
08:13 So that's it for what I pack for tomorrow.
08:14 I'll show you throughout the day tomorrow
08:15 what I actually end up eating.
08:16 And then I'll show you how I make
08:17 like one of my normal dinners.
08:19 Okay, it's the morning and now I just grab all of my food.
08:24 Try not to drop it.
08:26 Oats just go straight up in my bag
08:29 'cause they won't fit in my compartment.
08:31 I slide it all in.
08:32 This is my game changer bag, by the way.
08:34 Literally the best things ever happened in my life.
08:37 Wearing makeup to class today because it's Halloween.
08:40 It's the day before Halloween,
08:41 but I'm gonna be some kind of like, I don't know,
08:45 80s workout person 'cause I didn't wanna buy anything.
08:48 So it's about 5.45.
08:55 I just got back from the gym.
08:57 No, I don't normally wear makeup to the gym.
08:59 I don't really normally wear much makeup at all,
09:01 but it was Halloween today, so I was like in the spirit.
09:04 And I didn't bring anything to wash my makeup off
09:06 before I went to the gym
09:07 'cause I just go straight from class
09:08 because I like did not wanna go at all today.
09:11 And I knew if I went home,
09:12 I would have not gone to the gym at all.
09:14 So I just went straight there,
09:16 got a little full body workout in.
09:18 So yeah, I showed you everything I ate basically,
09:20 except for I didn't actually end up eating
09:22 my little built bar for the day.
09:24 Normally I would eat that
09:26 around like three o'clock in the afternoon
09:27 when I kind of get hungry after lunch,
09:29 but I had so much candy today.
09:31 I had so many Reese's cups.
09:33 They're so good.
09:35 So that's definitely not typical.
09:36 Normally I would have like a protein bar,
09:38 but instead I had candy, so healthy alternatives.
09:41 Anyways, I'm probably gonna have
09:42 some sort of a snack right now.
09:45 And then I'm probably gonna make dinner in like half hour.
09:47 I'm not quite ready for dinner yet.
09:48 Normally I eat around seven.
09:49 So I'll probably start making my dinner around 6.30.
09:52 So yeah.
09:53 So it's about, it's not 5.15, it's like 7.20.
09:57 A little later than I was expecting.
09:59 Ended up having some Popcorners,
10:00 it's a little snack.
10:01 I love these things.
10:02 No shame, the other day I had three packs.
10:04 Yeah, they're the best.
10:06 So, and then I also had a few little Oreo thins.
10:11 I got the family size for myself
10:13 because I love Oreo thins.
10:14 And for dinner, I have this little piece of salmon.
10:19 And I literally just put this sauce on it and it's so good.
10:24 You can get this at any grocery store,
10:25 but it's just like the teriyaki sauce,
10:27 like the Panda Express one.
10:28 I thought Panda Express makes great food.
10:30 So why not buy their sauce?
10:32 It's great.
10:33 I literally just put it on.
10:34 That is the only thing I do.
10:35 And then I pop it in the oven for about 15 minutes.
10:38 I'll probably have some rice with it.
10:40 And then I will just make some of this broccoli.
10:43 Just gonna steam it in my little microwave steamer.
10:45 And that will be dinner.
10:46 I also just realized that I haven't had my greens yet.
10:49 I take the first form greens and reds.
10:51 I definitely think the greens do more for me
10:54 in terms of digestion.
10:55 But ever since I started taking these,
10:57 I have not been bloated a single time,
11:00 which is kind of crazy.
11:01 At first I thought they were all hype.
11:03 But honestly, they've helped with my digestion so much.
11:06 And that's definitely something I've struggled with.
11:09 I don't do well with dairy.
11:10 But when I've had dairy with these, I'm honestly fine.
11:13 So kind of crazy.
11:14 So I'm gonna whip these up
11:16 and then I'm gonna finish the rest of my dinner.
11:18 (upbeat music)
11:21 So my salmon was done in around 15 minutes.
11:27 I just got rice from my rice cooker.
11:29 By the way, this is literally rice I made yesterday.
11:32 And it's still fresh and ready to go for today.
11:35 And then I just microwave my broccoli
11:38 in this little steamer guy I got from Amazon.
11:40 And I'm just gonna throw, ouch, it's hot.
11:43 A few pieces.
11:45 No, I should not be using my hands.
11:48 So this is my dinner.
11:50 And then I also take my little vitamins.
11:55 I take fish oils and a probiotic.
11:58 If you guys wanna know more about which vitamins I take,
12:01 I will let you know.
12:03 But yeah, so that is everything I eat in a day.
12:05 I'm gonna finish my dinner
12:06 and then I'll show you if I eat any dessert later tonight,
12:09 which I probably will because I do every night.
12:11 So yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
12:14 Give it a thumbs up if you liked it.
12:15 Let me know if you want me to do another one of these.
12:17 I do have more recipes to share.
12:18 And also let me know if you want me to put my macros
12:21 and calorie count throughout the day.
12:23 'Cause I don't normally do that,
12:24 which is why I didn't do it in this video
12:26 'cause I wanted it to be realistic.
12:28 But if that would help you guys, I could totally add that.
12:30 So yeah, thank you guys so much for watching
12:32 and I'll see you next time.
12:33 Bye.
