Hey gang -- here is the veggie burger recipe, which I ill put in description as well: Black Bean/Lentil Veggie Burgers 3 cups cooked lentils 3 cups cooked black beans 1 cup cooked rice 1 cup raw oats 1/2 cup ketchup 1/2 cup dried/minced onions 2 tsp smoked paprika Mash ingredients together with potato masher, until desired consistency is reached (need to be able to form into patties). Form mixture into patties, and place on cookie sheet. Cover and place in refrigerator, for at least an hour (over night is best) Chill and grill! These are REALLY GOOD!!! They come from a formula vegan dietitian Jeff Novick MS RD came up with. You can get the full series of HCLF veggie burgers on DVD from: store.vegsource.com/collections/jeff-novick/products/jeff-novicks-fast-food-dvd-vol-2-burgers-fries
+VegSource Thank you for the recipe. Looks delicious. Will have to try it soon. P.S. eating out of the pyrex bowl is the best way to measure the volume of food you are consuming and THAT is classy. Love it! Get your Starch on :)
I really underestimated how easy it is to eat vegan! Ive been trying to go vegan but its been hard when Im away at school. Everything they cook in the cafeteria is cooked in oil, but your meals I can make in my dorm in a microwave! Thank you!!
If you're up for it I would so appreciate you making more of these videos :) My Dad thinks being Vegan and eating healthy in general is so difficult and time-consuming, and I think it will help him to see what a guy similar to him eats in a day. I appreciate you!
This is the most "dad" thing I've ever watched. I appreciate that you're not putting on a show or making it pretty, you're just preparing and serving how you would when the camera isn't on. It's the best way to show how easy this diet can be.
Hey there, Jeff! Great video here, and I’m wondering if you could do a recent version of this: What I eat in a day. Thanks so much for all you do!!🙌🏼 We love you and your beautiful family.🥹💗
I appreciate the minimalist approach to your recipes. So many vegan recipe blogs etc make things that require so much prep etc. Btw: Your rice looks amazing & you look so healthy & fit!
This video shows how simple eating a plant-based diet can be. Also, I only just found out today that you created VegSource! Thank you for spreading such a positive message with actual scientific evidence to back it up.
You're the coolest, and most knowledgeable and able to adapt to changes and always learning (which is the key to keeping youthful and young) 59-year old guy I know.
You and your daughters videos have been my source of guidance and inspiration for vegan meal ideas. They are absolutely delicious and I can't wait to try your combination with a veggie burger in top! Thank you for this video!
This video is a game changer for me. I'm new to the vegan WFPB diet, and I've been killing myself cooking. My new go-to lunch will be just rice, beans, frozen veggies and sauce. I'm so relieved! Not sure I can deal with it for 2 meals every day but for lunch every day, absolutely!
Jeff, Would LOVE to have more "What I eat in a day" videos from you. Really reinforces how simple the McDougall way of eating can be when I start going "recipe crazy" and can't decide what to cook. I miss seeing you on RUclips.
Love the simplicity of these meals! I'm taking the FOK online cooking class, and have been preparing lots of awesome food, but not exactly simple! Always a fan of the Keep It Simple plan. Will try the veg burger.
I love this! It's kind of how I eat. I love how you just eat out of the pyrex cup. I do that too for my oatmeal breakfast but I plate up my lunch and dinner. eating from a measuring cup saves water because you don't have to wash and extra dish and you can really get a good idea of how much for you're eating. I like your style. I subscribed.
Thank you so much! I approached this lifestyle on July 4 and I am loving it. I wish I had grown up eating like this since I have been overweight most of my life. I guess I am more like Sabrina, I put a lot of effort Into cooking but now that I school start tomorrow you have given me ideas on what to prepare for my lunches. I always wondered if I was eating too much or too little. It wasn't until I realized I was actually losing weight that I noticed I must be doing something right. Thank you for for the videos.
The frozen blueberries tip is golden. The only way I improve on it, is that I pour the blueberries in the bowl before I finish cooking the oatmeal on the stovetop. That way, the bottom of the bowl is nice and cool when you pick it up, even after the blueberries have been mixed in with the oatmeal.
I agree. The Instant Pot makes great oatmeal. It's a great fire-and-forget option for when I'm not ready to eat right away. May I also suggest cooking the banana along with the oatmeal? It makes the oatmeal taste like those fried banana buns they serve in chinese restaurants. So good. I'm not sure the result would be the same in the microwave, but it works in the Instant Pot. Stir before serving.
thanks so much for the burger recipe! ! I'm going to make some today! I am also 59 and vegan and bicycle every day because I don't drive. but I'm a girl and what I find is that the women I'm around are all trying to lose weight and they are terrified of eating too much starch. it's painful for me to see the tiny amounts they allow themselves. They refuse to believe me when I tell them that I eat a full pound of grain (or five pounds of potatoes) in addition to a half pound of legumes every day. I'm a size 6 and really strong for my size. So anyone reading this, starch rules. Eat as much as you can. Your body will become amazing and thank you every day.
LOVE THAT YOU PUT YOUR YUMMY DELICIOUS RECIPE AND DIRECTIONS UNDERNEATH SO WE CAN HAVE THEM FOR LATER THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CANNOT COOK THANK YOU
I love my porridge too.I have organic 4 grain on the stove with a banana cinnamon sometimes coconut and a little almond milk.Once i tried it I wont ever go near instant oats.I also like a mix of raw and cooked veggies.Love your channel.
+VegSource Excellent stuff, you can imagine how cold it is the now then :D I heard the "Awrite" in a great Scottish accent! Impressed! :D Massive thanks! :)
Nice video! I eat almost the same every day, that is oatmeal for breakfast and rice with veggies and beans and nuts for dinner. I should incorporate even more veggies somewhere I think, they are so good.
+Rolf van de Pol Sounds like you've got a good thing going. Should you eat more veggies? Not necessarily. If you are trying to lose weight, or lose weight faster, then probably. But otherwise no need.
These meals actually look pretty good! Some might criticize relying on frozen vegetables as opposed to using fresh, but they say they're just as nutritious. Plus, there's no washing, peeling, slicing or chopping involved which is great for a lazy cook like me.
Frozen is typically higher in nutrition as it is harvested in the leak of ripeness and flash frozen. "Fresh fruits and veggies" have been sitting around often for long periods of time. Nutrition experts advocate frozen for convenience. And depending on the season, it can be cost effective and makes certain fruits and veggies available when during times when they aren't in season. Frozen veggies. A win. Lazy people rejoice!! 😄
I cook steel cut oats on the stove only takes 5-6 minutes. Our microwave is so powerful I would never be able to put it in that long. I put frozen strawberries and blueberries to cook it down after I made it today. So yummy!
No leafy greens? I eat remarkably similar stuff, but add a mostly romaine lettuce salad with a homemade walnut/vinegar/raisin dressing. I also have a fruit smoothie with kale.
I love that you made a vlog!!! yay oats!! I did veggies for breakfast for a while... maybe I need to get back on that train (: Glad to see someone else does the frozen veggie too!! Keep up the great vlogging!!
Great video! My only comment is that there's a lot of microwaving of frozen vegetables. I didn't see where there were fresh vegetables being steamed or eaten raw. And this was definitely just one day of what you eat. Good job.
Why no leafy greens? I've seen that with the girls too. I understand it's no calories, and not saying have it as a meal, but I always put leafy greens in with my starches, or steam some kale. Dr. Gregor raves about the importance of leafy greens too
+TallythePlantEater im vegan too and i find it hard incorporating leafy greens such as kale into my diet being that i hate the taste. Same with herbs. Maybe theyre like that too? Not sure but with me even adding a bit of kale to anything ruins the taste for me
+TallythePlantEater Leafy greens are great, no doubt! Particularly good for people battling heart disease who need extra nitric oxide to open their clogged arteries. However, one thing you should know about me: I am not of the "more nutrients are better" school. I do not believe that excellent health REQUIRES lots of greens or lots of any other special nutrients beyond a fairly simple starch-based diet. I will make a video about this at some point, but to extend life, restrict nutrients. It's true. The longest-lived cultures like the Okinawans, do not eat a lot of greens, don't eat much nuts, do not have a broad exposure to many different nutrients. Okinawans have a diet which is 70% sweet potatoes, 12% rice, 7% grains/wheat, 6% legumes and only 4% additional vegetables and just 3% fruits. New research on calorie restriction out of Australia seems to suggest that it is not the calorie restriction but the NUTRIENT restriction which is causing extended lifespan in all animals and insects studied (including humans). That could be because your cells become a lot more efficient in re-using nutrients when there is a paucity of nutrition. The stress of not enough nutrition is actually helpful, just like physical stress can be helpful. Cellular efficiency created by a lack of some nutrients can translate to extended cell life...which is called living longer, and extended lifespan... So it's kind of counter-intuitive to the way most people currently think, which is -- "get more of this healthy nutrient, that important nutrient and LOTS of this nutrient because it's so good!" Yes, that can promote health, but it won't necessarily make you live longer, whereas adequate or barely adequate nutrition can extend your life. I'm getting out on a tangent here, but going to make a video about this at some point. Cheers!
Love it!...I want to get back to cycling...goal to do another century...fuelled with starch it will be amazing...have to work on getting leaner to enjoy the ride...you've inspired me...
That’s how I usually eat. It’s usually vegetables and a starch like rice or pasta with some beans. Everytime I cook it makes a huge thing of it and then I eat that for a couple days.
Its pronounced see-ra-cha or suh-ra-cha lol. BTW I love the pyrex bowl eating, you're definitely in the same camp as me (practical and efficient)! I also eat the same things practically every day. Potatoes for breakfast, banana oatmeal smoothie for lunch, and beans over rice with cooked veggies or salad veggies for dinner. I think this combo works the best for me, is easy to make and wholesome. Stick with what works!
+Potato Strong We get that white basmati from Smart and Final. It's from India and comes in a brown cloth bag. We generally prefer brown too, but for mixing it up now and then that white basmati is really good!
VegSource Nice! I'm in Canada. My current bag is a big generic brand bag of basmati in a cloth bag, says imported from India woohoo! I have a 50 lb bag of organic rolled oats on the way as well - starches for the win!
+VegSource We can get brown basmati rice in Australia..perhaps because of the high Indian population. It is amazing!!!Thank you for the burger recipe!!
Love it....I do the same thing with the Pyrex. My good friend is an engineer at the plant that makes Pyrex. Lost 100 so far following Ornish and Mcdougall. Had a heart attack@ 39 got in the Ornish program and watch processed people....both what a life changer.
+Greggsvlog You go guy. Glad to hear of your increasing health. You are lucky to have survived your heart attack. So many people die with their first one.
Hello I like your videos especially the part about keeping it simple I have just started down this lifestyle for May 21 of this year and I have lost 24 pounds so far and I’m loving it, but I don’t want to be so complicated I like to keep things simple thank you
Lia Valencia what is there to believe in? Unlimited calories doesnt mean stuff your face untill you puke and your eyeballs bleed. It means eat until you are totally satisfied. For me thats around 1000 calories per meal although if i deliberate overate to disconfort, i could easily double that.
I had to smile when I saw that you have two instant pots. A proper high carb household obviously ;-) My wife and I are thinking about getting a second one, too.
Great vid.... Bit worried about your overuse of the microwave. Dr Brian clement talks a lot about the dangers of them and they've been banned in other countries. They did a study giving soldiers microwave meals and after only two weeks they all got really sick and had troubles with stamina etc. Keep up the vids and please do one on fully raw kristina a water fast and weight gain, is it the nuts? Love urvids
+Vegan Power Couple I eat my bananas how I have them. If we have ripe ones, I'm eating them ripe. If they're not as ripe, I'll still eat them if that's all that's around. :)
also thanks for this video this was so helpful for me! i am a university student who is on an extremely tight budget of 40 Canadian dollars a week for groceries and i can totally afford this!
A lot of people say microwave food is bad . I actually study about them in college and they basically heat up the molecule . Maybe don't use them for all three meals is best. Nonetheless, that crunch on the burger tho ! 😍
This was great. Looking forward to seeing more of these. I would like to see what you eat as snacks (if you do indeed snack). Also, do you have a favorite stir fry sauce? I am looking for suggestions. Thanks.
Hi Jeff, could you tell me what kind of grill you have for the burger and you mentioned your wife uses grilled onions....I want one like yours! thanks for all you do....religious watcher here!
Mr. Nelson, thanks for all your hard work here. But why in the WORLD are you not eating organic? Does glyphosate really make a good seasoning? When you showed the list of seasonings you use I was surprised to not see one from Monsanto. :)
Hey gang -- here is the veggie burger recipe, which I ill put in description as well: Black Bean/Lentil Veggie Burgers
3 cups cooked lentils

Mash ingredients together with potato masher, until desired consistency is reached (need to be able to form into patties). Form mixture into patties, and place on cookie sheet. Cover and place in refrigerator, for at least an hour (over night is best) Chill and grill!

I eat very similar to this but always include leafy greens in just about every single meal. Nice job here! Love the emphasis on the beans too!
I eat out of a Pyrex bowl all the time, too! 🐛 less mess and the handle is the best!
Hey there, Jeff! Great video here, and I’m wondering if you could do a recent version of this: What I eat in a day. Thanks so much for all you do!!🙌🏼 We love you and your beautiful family.🥹💗
Congratulations! Funny, how returning to the basics is always a great choice. Thanks for all you have done for all of us.
I appreciate the minimalist approach to your recipes. So many vegan recipe blogs etc make things that require so much prep etc. Btw: Your rice looks amazing & you look so healthy & fit!
I love how he eats from the Pyrex!!! Keep it simple!!! I love eating out of my measuring cup or coff mugs. Handles make it easy

Mmm, your lunch looks so good!!! I hope you'll be doing more What I Eat In A Day videos- this was awesome. And Jaki is amazing!
Love to see these type of videos from you! Wish you would do more " What I eat in a day videos " So interesting!
I cook steel cut oats on the stove only takes 5-6 minutes. Our microwave is so powerful I would never be able to put it in that long. I put frozen strawberries and blueberries to cook it down after I made it today. So yummy!
I love the simplicity of your meals!
Can't wait to make the burgers, They look so delicious! I'm a new vegan and I have never felt healthier and happier😋
I would die by hunger watching those portions
No leafy greens? I eat remarkably similar stuff, but add a mostly romaine lettuce salad with a homemade walnut/vinegar/raisin dressing. I also have a fruit smoothie with kale.
I love that you made a vlog!!! yay oats!! I did veggies for breakfast for a while... maybe I need to get back on that train (: Glad to see someone else does the frozen veggie too!! Keep up the great vlogging!!
very practical .I am eating the same here in Brazil with predominantly vegetals .I cook them in water though.
I would like to see you eat more organic veggies. Thanks for sharing.
+NoirHammer Thank you, I like organic for sure. And when I'm buying frozen veggies, if I can't find organic, I get what they have. :)

Great vid, would love to see more like this!
Thank you so much for sharing your awesome yummy delicious RECIPE in the DISCRIPTION BOX to help US BEGINNERS THANK YOU
your oatmeal portion was the most pathetically small breakfast ive ever seen. i normally smash in >250g dry weight oats for breakfast
I used to have the half of that for breakfast
Lia Valencia im glad you overcame anorexia, welcome to unlimited food world
+La ne I actually don't believe in unlimited calories tho haha
Lia Valencia what is there to believe in? Unlimited calories doesnt mean stuff your face untill you puke and your eyeballs bleed. It means eat until you are totally satisfied. For me thats around 1000 calories per meal although if i deliberate overate to disconfort, i could easily double that.
+La ne Don't hate - everyone eats how much is satisfying to them. Don't compare yourself to him and vice versa.
Thanks for tip about instapot. I will invest in one as I need something faster than crockpot
Thanks! Very refreshing to see the simplicity of your meals! But how about green leaves for the calcium? Do you take them as well?
I wonder how you make those black beans, they look so delicious.
LOVE RECIPES HELPS BEGINNERS THANK YOU SO MUCH
I had to smile when I saw that you have two instant pots. A proper high carb household obviously ;-) My wife and I are thinking about getting a second one, too.
Great vid.... Bit worried about your overuse of the microwave. Dr Brian clement talks a lot about the dangers of them and they've been banned in other countries. They did a study giving soldiers microwave meals and after only two weeks they all got really sick and had troubles with stamina etc. Keep up the vids and please do one on fully raw kristina a water fast and weight gain, is it the nuts? Love urvids
+vegan duende hmm, I wonder what kind of meals these were though. TV dinners are sickening no matter how they're cooked
I love the Pyrex comment! That's exactly how my husband would eat it and it cracks me up
YES FINALLY A WHAT I EAT IN A DAY FROM YOU
great video. thank you. more of these!! but, why do you not eat your bananas when they are spotty?
+Vegan Power Couple I eat my bananas how I have them. If we have ripe ones, I'm eating them ripe. If they're not as ripe, I'll still eat them if that's all that's around. :)
oh, ok. cool. thanks for replying!!
You will live a long life for sure , thanks for sharing.
also thanks for this video this was so helpful for me! i am a university student who is on an extremely tight budget of 40 Canadian dollars a week for groceries and i can totally afford this!
Nice video - thanks for sharing.
A lot of people say microwave food is bad . I actually study about them in college and they basically heat up the molecule . Maybe don't use them for all three meals is best. Nonetheless, that crunch on the burger tho ! 😍
I adore this video. I'm about to make rice and heat up a veggie burger like you did!!! Yummmmmm!!!!!!
This was great. Looking forward to seeing more of these. I would like to see what you eat as snacks (if you do indeed snack).
Also, do you have a favorite stir fry sauce? I am looking for suggestions. Thanks.
thanks for sharing!
Hi Jeff, could you tell me what kind of grill you have for the burger and you mentioned your wife uses grilled onions....I want one like yours! thanks for all you do....religious watcher here!
Mr. Nelson, thanks for all your hard work here. But why in the WORLD are you not eating organic? Does glyphosate really make a good seasoning? When you showed the list of seasonings you use I was surprised to not see one from Monsanto. :)
