In this monologue, the speaker explains that the speed and form of eating can be as important as food choice for body‑composition goals. When trying to gain weight (bulking), he streamlined calorie intake by blending or grinding foods—ground chicken, mashed potatoes, and chicken soup—so he could consume large amounts quickly. Conversely, when cutting to lean out, he deliberately slowed his eating by avoiding liquid calories and serving food in solid, chunkier pieces that required more chewing and time, thereby reducing overall intake. The core message is that manipulating eating mechanics (liquid vs solid, blended vs chunked) can help control calorie consumption during bulking and cutting phases.

If you're struggling to gain weight or lose weight, it's not about what you eat, but sometimes it can be about how you eat it. So when I was a younger guy and I was trying to gain weight, I really struggled. I realized that instead of trying to like eat chicken, you know, one at a time and cut it up and bake my potatoes and cut it up, I could just blend all that stuff. Meaning I would grind up the chicken so I'd have ground chicken and then I'd mash the potatoes. So I have this nice, like almost like shepherd's pie type thing. But then I take a can of like chicken soup and pour it on top and I could just spoon it in as fast as I could. Made it easier for me to get the calories. And on the other hand, when I was dieting down because I wanted to lean out, I did the exact opposite of that. I don't want to drink any calories. I want to have as solid chunks of food on my plate, and I wouldn't have to cut every single one of these things individually. And so that slowed me down.
