Why are peanuts a ‘no no’!? Either way thank you for all your great content all the way from the UK.

Yet another great video! Thank you. I am a hard gainer and struggle getting enough healthy calories and the way you breakdown the portions makes so much sense. I just started (again) to try to track my meals and calories using MyFitnessPal. It’s very overwhelming trying to eat more food than normal, but I am trying to do it the healthy way. I really enjoy the videos, keep up the great work!
How to make weight gain please make a video on this topic #request
Is this helpful when a person is athletic or is looking to gain weight?
Hello,your video was very useful for me.The portion that you have illustrated for dal and rice using the size of one’s fist how much would that roughly be using a measuring cup.
Should I eat a hand full every hour or two hours or three hours
Plzz make a vd about hairstyles for face shape & all shape +&points plzzzzzz
Wow really so you’re saying I don’t have to sacrifice pizza as long as I don’t pass my calories limit right?
very nice and helpful video for portion confusion in food.pls share more info on same
I was surprised by the generosity of the chip measure, it’s probably wiser to cut it out completely. I haven’t had any fried food in 6 months and the longer it gets the less I miss it. So just some patience is needed:)
But the person herself didn’t even try it and showed us she was just speaking
I disliked this video the moment you showed two palms full of potato chips,
Makes no sense.
How is one supposed to measure mayo with a thumb?!
OMFG…!!!!I always struggle for such pathetic measurement. I am so thankful to u for this miraculous upload. THanksaTon
But liquid ingredients or dry ingredients take diff volumes as u showed that measure with thumb but how
Come on guys… Are you serious? 1 tbsp of Mayonnaise, full palms of chips, fries and nachos? Gilt free? What kind of diet is that I’m afraid to ask? Especially when you’re saying 1 fist of veggies and full palms of nachos. That’s ridicules!
You should avoid this kind of food not only if you are on a diet, but if you want to be healthy and have a good skin.
Should have watched this before having chicken tortilla soup for lunch ♂️
Your videos are amazing! Ive been slowly watching all of them the past few days. i find avocado and lemon make a good “dressing” for salad, if you stir the avocado around it thins out and becomes dressing like. I think im going to start taking this approach to my meals, i just need to get my husband on board.
Thank you! This was very helpful! I love these videos and the recipes!
a very useful video.i ll use this in my diet.can you upload a video on how go loose chest fat easily at home.
plz make a video on how to walk with heels plz I request you
I like it and it is very good for diet……I love glamrs your team is so awsome
Download the app Loose it; it’s a great app where you can track your calories
Hey can u make video regarding bone health and assamese food secrets ❤️
You need to make an app where we can eat just like you!!!! Your amazing!!!! ♥️♥️
This method would not work for me, you wanna see the size of MY hands!
Thanks for the video bra you helped me alot I lost alot of weight just because I ate 250g(8 oz) a day,couldn’t done it without this video Thanks man ❤
but everyone’s hand sizes are different.
I know it says “just about a tablespoon” or whatever, but still…
You do not know how much I love you right now!! ☺️ This video was a life saver. God bless!
great vid thanks. need to buy new weighing scales but the delivery is too long.
Thank u so much dear… I was searching for something like this… ✊
This is the worst teaching in the world how is anyone to catch on when your moving so dam fast.
A glass is a proper baking measurement now? Waste of time watching this.
I saw a good pocket scale but.. I don’t think it will be a great choice for me to buy. .. There’s a lot to choose from and I want something reasonable but affordable.
The pocket scale only measures grams I believe .
You also have to calculate the ratio between raw and cooked proteins.
This isn’t accurate because some people have small hands (like me) and some very big hands, what would we do then?
Awesome info, so simple and we complicate the crap out of it. I like the container marked on the bottom, that’s an awesome idea.
I’d like to see more on macros, Thanks for doing these types of videos!
Even if i do understand this system, i still belive is completly stupid
I’m not good at guess amount of serving, so I weight my portion anyway, i wanna stay lean
Would like more food/nutrition vids while during quarantine season. You touched on this in your most recent vid, would hope you would keep it up
I love your food videos. Show us more recipes and food videos.
How many calories, macros was that meal.. not sure if I missed it.. I can eat clean but need clean while I’m burning 3k to 4k calories a day
thanks for the info my question is it ok to have my dinner with my protein shake
Amazing video
Can you please make a video about pre workout and post workout nutrition?
Big fan of your videos! I’d love to learn more about how you calculate your macros. It’s hard to find information out there for calculating macros for a recreational CF athlete.
@ 10:44 Omg behind you! There’s a beast in the kichen D:
Love your channel btw! Thank you for all the insight
This is great thank you! How do you handle cravings? Any snack you recommend to work around cravings?
Great advice. I love the fact you mention read the labels. I watch another channel with Bobby Parrish FlavCity. He breaks down the labels and hits different grocery stores to show what to buy & what to avoid. Love your channel!
YOUR hand size equates to your individualized calorie intake. Invented by Dr Kazzim Mawji presented to the world in 1993 during World Diabetes meeting in Indiana. USA. search Zimbabwe hand jive. Be healthy by eating right. Enjoy
Homemade dressings are the absolute best!
If you’re ever looking for something new try this one out. It’s so good.
Greek salad dressing
2/3 cups olive oil
1/4 red wine vinegar
4-6 minced cloves of garlic
2 T oregano
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Great video, what are your thoughts on salt and milk products?
Love the content Kristi! When do you typically eat in the day? As in how long after you wake up, how long before you sleep and how long before and after you workout.
The way I combat overeating is to use smaller cooking equipment. and small bowls rather than big plates.
make a video on how would u measure sugar & oil & other eatables with you thumb. u stupid lady
Very informative as always, Kristi! Like how you explained it simply and how every part of the meal ties in together.
So helpful!! Thanks!! I’d actually pay extra to see a daily sample of your food intake (and grocery list?). Lol
Hi Kristi. I’m a really big fan and supporter of yours!!!!
I was just hoping you could offer a few words of advice because I recently found a pretty big wood log to use for exercise, and thought maybe to try: Shoulder Carries for distance, alternating shoulder presses, and “bear hug” squats with the log. I’m not an expert on fitness, but if you have a moment I could really use your encouragement. You’re such a great motivational speaker……
Awesome!! DO you have cheat meals or cheat days? How necessary to have cheat meals or cheat days?
Thanks!!:D
You mention to stay away from peanuts. What about natural peanut butter..do you count that as fat or protein?
Hi Kristi! Great educational video. Thank you so much for this information. Can you make a video where you give different examples of good sources of fat and carbs? Thank you:)
I don’t know. I love eating too much. I’ve been keto for a few months but was still able to eat “to much” I mean I was working out so I put on muscle as well
What I’m trying to say is that I really want to achieve this extra leanness but my eating is too much of a mess right now
I’m really looking forward to some more helpful tips. Keep it up:)
Could I swap fruits for veggies? I eat a lot of fruits but not many veggies
This is what I needed. Nice way to portion what I’ll use to meal prep
@emmabee11 yeah, it might be a problem if you have small hands but are a fatass:)
Okay for measuring dry food like chips and nuts etc…. how do I measure peanut butter without scooping it up with my thumb
Do you think professional athletes like yourself can get away with higher carbs than the normal person who works out 5 times a week?
I love this approach! def makes a lot of sense, ive mostly worked on decreased my carbs intake and rely more on my vegs and fats as energy. Thought it was interesting you mentioned veggies being more than your protein I am always thinking protein first but it makes a lot of sense!
I would love to try… but as of now I can’t I’m nursing my baby… anyways very useful tips… thank you
This video helped me out a lot. I learned a lot during this video. Loved your meals. Thank you for sharing
So much yes!! I was waiting for this thank you so much!!!
Wow….there hacks are really impressive….I haven’t seen such cool hacks before….I’m gonna follow them from this moment itself
Thank you glamrs
I liked this video. It makes portion control ALOT more simplified. And regarding the potato chips, nachos, etc… I think that’s a good idea. Not everyone can go cold turkey and never eat unhealthy foods again. For those that can, great for you! But that tip was shared for those of us still struggling and honest about their need to include some unhealthy foods into their diet. Eating a big handful with both hands is much better then polishing off a whole bag of potato chips lol
I’ve been struggling with how to make a balanced meal and this helped so much! Thank you! I would love more videos on this subject!
I really like to season meals with lemon, garlic and olive oil! A source of fat I love is peanuts!
thats a nice explanation of the make up of a single meal, but when your training how many meals per day do you eat?, also do you take any suppliments. btw the tune in the opening is very cool, would be great to run too:) what is it?
Why are you smiling for no reason, nothing but I find it little bit strange
So I only clicked on this vid cuz the girls looked cute but it was surprising useful…. go figure.
