Alan has shown me how to low bar squat, deadlift, press, and bench. Now my boy is showing me how to survive alone. Love ya brother

You are a great human being Alan. Thank you for existing

Pro tip for the salmon... Cook it about 90% skin side in the pan and 10% on the other 👍🏻

I really gotta say, I love how holistic your fitness channel has become over the years. I'm glad we can move beyond the GOMAD mindset so many of us grew up with

Cooking is the hardest part of the lifestyle for many people. Most people look more forward to leg day than they do cooking for the day/week. It's intimidating for so many people, so it's good that there are people out there willing to help take some of the mystery out of it for them and make it look a little more doable.

Those recipes look amazing! I love your videos and your tips are all helpful. Question for you... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got custom muscle-building meal plan from them and I love it.

Great job with your son helping cook! Both my kids have been cooking since they could toddle into the kitchen. We lift , cook, do homework and play together. Thanks for teaching us all so much!

Trimmed beard look is legit dude. You have been amazing content for so long. Thank you.

Similar to what someone else already said, Alan taught me how to do my main 3 compounds in high school, and now he’s teaching me how to reasonably cook as an adult, thanks man

A truly important subject. Most people have no clue how to grocery shop, especially young people. Thankyou for the content!

I already feel better and I’m less than a minute in. I struggle with grocery shopping as I never learned from my parents. Thank you for this.

Thx for the work and dedication in making our lives better Allen. Always appreciated! ❤

Aside from quality of life appliances (like rice cooker / InstantPot), having a whiteboard to write out my meals for the week has been so helpful. Definitely helps me stay more focused on what I do and do not need while at the grocery store.

Incredibly helpful, especially as a person that cannot cook all that well. Really appreciate the walk through.

Really loving the videos, especially the lift & run challenges and now here food prep. It’s so relatable and practical. Keep them coming!

Great vids and so down to earth. Thank you.

You are just so great, first you taught me how to deadlift, squat and overhead press and now you will even give me new ideas what to cook for myself during college. This is of really big help to me as a student (3rd semester, geology), although it will probably take another year before I am able to sustain this lifestyle. During my first year, I could manage to cook maybe once a week and it was usually such an amount that I could eat it for 3-4 days almost, now I usually cook main meals twice a week (smaller portions, so it can maybe take me through 3 days at maximum) and due to having pretty insane wednesdays, I also prepare some quality breakfast for that day (pancakes, scrambled eggs on million ways, etc.). Good thing to note is that I have school for 4 days, so I spend almost 3 days at home. What I'd really love is to learn how to bake some simple pastry. (a bit to show off myself to girls :D, but also because I am on a gluten free diet due to being a celiac and man, that stuff is expensive)

Thanks,Alan, long time viewer here. I don't comment often but I have to thank you for how simple but intelligent this advice is.

This is such a full loop video for me - I started watching you around the Chanko Nabe video, and have made that for years. Now, your kitchen and camera work is like a cooking channel! Thank you for the great recipes.

This is the best meal video on KZfaq. I've watched hundreds and all they've done is confused me. Alan did it right.

Pretty little guide .... very handy Alan :) Just one tip for the salmon, its quite fatty fish, no need for oil on the pan, or maybe just a drip or two, and always fry the side with skin first, that will let out the fats, and it will cook nicely in its own fat ;)

This is quality content! This is so underrated when it comes to staying fit, having this knowledge makes everything so much easier.

Much love brother, this is the type of content a LOT of young Americans need.

Amazing video, please do more of these, thank you!

Love it, man! I've dropped 35 pounds on my way to 15%-ish body fat following mostly strict keto, but vids like this will definitely help once I hit maintenance.

Thank you Alan. Please do more of these type of videos. they re highly helpful

Man! This is by far one of the best videos , for meals prep, and it looks to me , to enjoy with family.

I am an adult and I still feel lost in the grocery story. Trying to find my mum ever since I was 11.

Still providing quality content while not selling shit. Love it. Thanks for helping me improve my quality of life.

awesome seeing u cook with ur boy, i always really enjoyed cooking with my parents when i was young :^)

Great recipes. I do the "protein+side dish+ vegetables" scheme as well. But do grocery shopping and cooking a little differently. Buy 2-3 kg of whatever lean meat is on sale and a bunch of veggies. Buy brown rice and whole wheat pasta in bulk whenever it's on sale. Cut up all the meat into bite-size pieces, season and cook it all. Cut up all the vegetables, mix them together in a large bowl. Cook a whole bag of rice or pasta. Store these in separate containers in the fridge, and take one portion of each for every meal. Use different dressings and sauces for variety. This way i only have to cook and clean twice a week instead of every day.

Alan has helped me so much to stick to a training schedule! These meals look delicious!!

Great video. Thanks for the easily prepped meal ideas.

Thank you so much for the video, Alan. I can see what parts of this approach I'm already doing and what things can be improved. But the biggest point is seeing that **I can do this myself**! That I don't have to get a nutrition science degree just to eat well. That's going to be powerful for a lot of other people too!

Super easy tip for searing anything in a pan fish or steak or chicken. Make sure its dry first of any water moisture, a simple pat down with a paper towel is what i usually do. This ensures the small moisture between the pan and meat doesnt form a vapor barrier. It also limits spattering as the oil wont spray as much.

Actually, a great video. Thanks! And that produce!! Looked great!

Awesome vid Alan, definitely gonna try these meals!

Damn I always forget that "throw stuff into a pan and roast in the oven" is a convenient option and instead end up standing beside the stovetop. I'm definitely having some teriyaki chicken next week, thanks Alan.

Haven’t lifted conventionally in 3 years, but I keep following. Love the running and lifting combo vids.

I'm loving your new look, dawg. 👍

I love this video, sometimes I don't know what to meal prep anymore & this gave me some ideas. Thank you!

What an incredibly thoughtful video. Thank you

Semper Fi, brother. I haven't come across your videos for a while. You've leaned quite a bit. Congrats and thanks for continuing to make great content.

Chef Alan! Love this. Thank you! high value video. Also, I'm a runner and lifter so your recent videos on the subject have been a god-send. Cheers from Miami!

Just hopped on KZfaq for the first time in a while. Had to do a double take when I saw Allan. He’s super skinny now

This is a really useful video! Im always looking for more healthy recipes that are simple and high in protein and you have nailed it. Finally I see the proper way to roast potatoes and veg.

Thank you so much Alan. I always learn something from you.

This video is super useful thanks Alan!!

Your little boy is sooooooo stinking cute!!!! I’m happy to see you have a beautiful little family. Wishing you guys all the best 💕

A good tip for better roasted potatoes, especially the mini gold ones is to cut them and let them soak in water for 15-20 min.....takes the starch out of the potatoes and they crisp up in the oven much better.

Honestly really appreciate this video. I suck at grocery shopping because i always stick to recipes which are too complicated to memorize. Thinking of it in terms of protein / carb / fiber is so simple i feel stupid and can’t believe they don’t teach this in school.

thanks for this, really kept it simple and useful.

Great stuff loving the hair cut looks good 👍

My cooking changed when I invested in a set of good pantry staples, like spices, powders, and shelf stable sauces. Yes, it's an upfront investment, but these things basically last forever and, with some creativity, you can make about 90% of any dish you're craving if you have the right fresh ingredients. Most dishes, at the end of the day, are just a protein with a seasoning, sauce, or marinate of some kind

Thanks 😊 this is so helpful👍🏻BTW, you’re looking amazing.

You’re looking phenomenal my man 💪

Great advice!! I reckon it's vital to be able to eat whole foods as the main part of your diet. Also, your kid is adorable. Thanks Alan!

This was amazing, thank you

i remember watching your cooking video years and years ago where you made some roasted potatoes. I'm glad to hear the same background music here.

Excellent video!

Been doing this since I started training, it makes you buy only what you need and can save you money aswell.

I have literally forgotten you for the past 2 yrs brother, glad you are doing good and so cute little fella hanging around! Best Regards Allan, thank you for uploading such a useful content for us, the viewers!

This is exactly what I've been looking for

Hey Alan, I had to come back to this video and say thankyou. With your advice I make a great dinner every night, and eat the extra serve for lunch the next day. Simples. No more meal prepping for 6 days and eating leftovers for a week. This is so much easier and much more enjoyable.

Love how is kept simple, healthy and not just rice and chicken for almost every meal and not afraid to season the food

Great summary at the end

Great video thank you!

Thanks for the tips dad

I love this guy, he's a REAL dude. Straight to the damn point

I now am intimately familiar with the Thrall family dishware. Great video Alan.

One of the most well rounded individuals to exist today also happens to share their well roudnedness with all of us. For free. For years in a row. Makes me feel lucky

I love it. The tenderloin is something I am going to put in the rotation. Awesome getting your son involved!

Super useful, thanks!

Hey Alan, just want to say that a pressure is extremely versatile as you may know already. It can make rice not as bad and it can also be use to cook ramen broth (not the instant noodles type)

This video was great

Works for me! Thanks.

Solid gold, even for those of us who know our way around the kitchen

The beard is back in town!!!

Alan, coming in clutch!

I'm surprised your family has a new meal every day! When I was a kid, we would eat like 2-4 days of the same meal.

Dang I've been a subscriber since his Mountain Man breakfast video and I feel like I just subbed yesterday. Time flies!

Dude you lookin CLEAN!

I made the vegetables from the salmon meal to go with the chicken from the stir fry meal. My whole house loved it!

Wooo a new video!

Jeesh your boy is getting big. Time fly’s.

Please keep nutrition/ recipe videos coming!

Thanks Alan my first meal I ever made myself was your ultimate bulking breakfast from 6 years ago lol

Feels weird to see you without beard, I like seeing your videos man. Great job

needed this, thanks dad

Great vid A, lots of folks have no clue.

Great viedo

Oh boy do I eat out!😂😂😂😂 keeps you strong and healthy.

I’m a grad student who begun Starting Strenght a month ago (starting the power cleans tomorrow) I’ll definitely add this recipes to my meal prep

Holy cow Alan, I haven't watched your videos for a while, you've lost so much weight/ got shredded! Well done!

Great video! I try to avoid carbs from pasta, potatoes and rice and just eat meat and vegetables. I get my calories from daydrinking already

I just moved out to my own place at 18 so I really needed this thanks

Thank you for this. I have a hard time managing calories in/out without a calorie calculator. I've been "bulking" for 9 months now because i hated calorie counting. Been doing it for 2 years and finally felt so free not having to count... But now i've gained unnecessary weight and more strength.. Mixed feelings about the trade-off.

I wish I'd had this video back when I was in my 20s! It took me way too long to learn most of this. Haha. Great video!

You are a diamond in the fitness youtube . Both detailed and simple 10 years old can cook this ❤
