My 2,500 Calorie Fat Loss Diet (Simple And Healthy Recipes)

The last number of months has been suboptimal for me in terms of my training and nutrition, to say the least. I've been living out of a suitcase. This is the first year of my life where I think I've lived in 4 or 5 different apartments. Did a month in Tulum. We did like a month in Texas. Dublin for a month. Here the odd month. It's been a crazy year, all over the place, living out of a suitcase, not having my own kitchen consistently. But now we're finally there. We've moved into the villa, about 3 weeks in at this stage. It's still looking pretty bare, as you can see. There's not much going on behind me, but it's kind of like a studio. But we do have a full working kitchen, so I'm gonna do a full day of eating today, training. The sun is out. Also got the new lens going as well, so give the video a thumbs up and let's get into it. The desk also really needs like some paintings or plants or just something going on up there. It's looking pretty air. I gotta be honest, this is so far the only piece of furniture, if you could even call that. It's a shelf. But I think this could be a pretty cool podcast studio. And also, if you need to take a little nap mid-podcast, we got a king-size bed from Emma Sleep Ireland. Emma Sleep were kind enough to send out that entire bed when I moved into the villa, and that was so helpful. They have no idea. We actually wouldn't have had anywhere to sleep if they didn't send that on. So thank you so much to Emma for that. Having a good bed is just a game changer, not only in your sleep but in your training and nutrition. Believe it or not, the better you sleep, the harder you're going to be able to train. And how you sleep and well-rested you are actually affects your diet and cravings as well. So I'm going to leave a link for Emma Sleep down below. Sales they have on right now are crazy, and they also ship worldwide, be it Ireland, Marbella, anywhere. So hit them up. It is insanely bright out. We still gotta build that pergola, and then we gotta unwrap the outdoor fireplace. So still a long way to go, but you don't exactly need them to live. We're getting some more microcement down here, and then this big blue thing is to protect the microcement just while it's setting. And then I think we've got to buffer it, and that'll be done. But I'm still figuring out what to do with all these tiles. They're actually really nice when they're cleaned up. You can probably see them a little bit better here. I'm thinking like white pebbles here, cactus. Either way, I'm sure we'll figure it out. But it's time to go to the kitchen now, get some pre-workout in, and then we're gonna go train with David and Julia. So it's gonna be a fun day. Try not to be too jealous of my supplement drawer. Yes, there's two. So today's pre-workout is gonna be Maxx Chewing Strawbango. I remember the first time I tried this flavor, it was actually from the energy drink in Las Vegas, which is a trip I'm still recovering from. But we're gonna do 2 scoops of this, and then we're gonna run off to paddle club because it's such a sunny day. It would be a real shame to not train outside because I had a podcast all morning. Pretty much all that I've actually had to eat today is 30 calories from a scoop of greens. So when I'm trying to lean down, I like to push my meals back as far as possible. Usually break the fast after my workout around 12 PM. So let's go to gym. We will be there in 3, 2, 1. We're back. It's been a minute. What are we trying today? I was gonna be doing a pull day. You down for a pull day? I'm down for a pull day. You prefer the push day? I prefer push day. Like, I'd never turn down a chest day, you know, that's a real treat, but I'll hit some pull. Yo! All right, so we are finishing off with some rear delt flies, and we were just saying how it's very easy to go easy on yourself with isolation movements. It comes to the end of your workout and you're like, I'll just chase feel the pump, feel the burn, but is it really doing anything? Is it enough stimulus? David motivated me to do 15s on the rear delt flies. I'm pumped. So let's see if we can keep the form tight as well. Oh! 3 more. Yeah! 2. 1 more, come on! Oh my God. All right, so we're back in the kitchen of dreams. Look how white the kitchen is. It's like a laboratory, but instead of coming up with scientific formulas, we come up with macro-friendly and high-protein meals. That's the type of laboratory I want to be in. Air fryer has changed my life. We are doing 2 chicken breasts. One is extremely spicy, that is mine, and the other has garlic on it. So we're gonna put these in the air fryer for about 10 minutes, then we're gonna make some healthy chicken wraps. Alright, so as you can see, it's looking nice and crispy. There's a bit of browning on top. I take it out around then. I'm gonna eat this now. I'll put everything up on the screen. Nutrition, calories, all that good stuff. I'm looking forward to today. It's about like 1 PM. I've still got a ton of calories, so we might be able to have some fun stuff today. It's a good day. All right, so Linda is also preparing some— you spilled a bit. Linda is preparing some delicious looking protein oats. So the key is you put them in these little jars and you put the liquid in and you lock it in so it gets all moist. I hate that word. Gets all moist and creamy, and that's the key to good overnight oats. So we're gonna do some Ghost Whey Simple Oats and also some Cocoa butter as well to make it milk chocolatey. So the majority of my day is spent in this kopihole. So I just had a great call about the new Feel Cakes website, trip to Dubai, doing some cool stuff there in the New Year's. But now what you're here for is food. So I'm gonna go down and see what that little jar of protein oats is saying. Second meal of the day is a bowl of protein oats. We topped it with banana and there's some peanut butter in there, some chocolate chips, and this is of course done with Ghost Whey, the chocolate chip whey. It's unbelievable. And then the way it's kind of gone brown, it's because of the cacao in it, which has a lot of health benefits as well. So I'm gonna eat this now, enjoy. We're gonna do our daily walk, and then I'll see you guys for a big, big dinner afterwards. All right, so we are here at Leroy Merlin, the equivalent of Bed Bath and Beyond in Spain, and we have been doing frequent trips here. For example, today we're getting a doorbell because I have a huge Alfie package arriving tomorrow for Black Friday. So if I don't get this doorbell, it's going to be a bad time because they're going to show up, not going to be able to make the delivery, and that's going to be bad. So we're going to go in, get a doorbell, and every time I go in, I always get like loads of random bits like towel racks. So let's see what we come out with. So I really need to get some art for the villa, like the blank walls, kind of like an insane asylum. But then when I go to choose a piece, I'm like, what does that mean? Who drew it? What's the meaning behind it? Where is this bōshak located on the planet? Like, I'll just overthink it. So like, I really need to get something kind of nice and minimalistic and plain. But now do you know what I mean? Every time I come in here, I just, I just have to come out with a few different things. All right. So doorbell secured. I was tempted to get a couple of plants, but I'm going to hold off. Once you go inside, you realize just how much things there is. To get when you purchase a house. But either way, I'm a bit of discipline and we're taking things slow, but we're going to head back to the villa and then finish up this vlog. All right, people. So for dinner, we are doing some steak, broccoli, and rice. And now the instructions are in Swedish, but by the look of things, you just pour it all in. So I'm not going to eat the whole box. I'm just going to cook the whole thing and then have it prepped for the week. All right. So the rice turned out insanely good. Let's check. On the broccoli. Well, that is looking charred. That is looking very good. Check how good these guys look. Oh my God. So let's put this all together and have some dinner. It ain't much, but it's honest work. A bit of a bro meal, but I'm gonna flavor it with some hot sauce. I am gone in the head, so I do like the Carolina Reaper hot sauce. I'm gonna eat this now and then we'll wrap up the video. All right, so finishing off this video with Classic meal. We're having some straight up whole wheat bread, some peanut butter smooth— usually go for crunchy— and a nice tall glass of semi-skim milk. So that is the current full day of eating. Feels so good to be back cooking all my meals, training hard. It's honestly been months, and it's crazy for me to say that. Training has always been— it's decent, not as good as it could be the last couple of months, but diet, we're in a kitchen, there's just nothing compares. Knowing exactly what you're putting into your body, being able to cater towards all your preferences, do some of Macro calorie hacks, there's nothing like it. You like the video, give it a thumbs up. I'm out here, see you in the next one. Keep it real.
