He has a few recipes that make 6 meals but you can split them into 5 for a bulking-type meal. I take his hidden veggie mac and cheese and split it into 5 meals which breaks down to about 700 calories and 73g of protein.
@@TheMealPrepManual Please more, I have 1 great pasta bulking meal and I did your pasta meal too but I need some variation, I can’t keep eating the same things every week. This chilli will be great for abit but definitely keep ‘em coming, all about that variety.
Chili has always been a go-to bulking recipe for me! It's naturally high in calories, super nutrient dense, and easy to make in huge batches. You can just throw together a huge pot with like 15-20 minutes of total prep and have lunch for a week. It also helps that chili is really nice on a cold winter day, which just so happens to align with bulking season for many athletes.
Bro this is seriously the best meal prep youtube channel. No BS side stories, exact measurements, great technique and macros provided. And measurements converted to metric! 🇦🇺 Going to sub to your website cheers bro
Thanks for this, brother. Wife and I are on a tight budget now with 2 kids while moving into a new home. We both have full time jobs. Just did this recipe and I’m ready to start this meal prep journey, man. You’ve got my full attention
I made this with 90/10 beef and it still came out amazing. I also didn’t include the rice or corn bread muffin so cut soem calories Ended up coming in at 740 calories per and is my favorite meal prep to date, highly recommend it
I'm so glad I found your videos. I think following your recipes will be the thing that finally keeps my husband on track with his food goals. We've been struggling to find something that works for both of us. Cooking spereately for him and the family is a challenge but these all seem like something we can all enjoy. Thank you! I plan on becoming a gold member in the new year!
This is the best meal prep channel. it shows well balanced meals with carbs , protein and vegetables and it shows a variety of ways to meal prep . Other meal prep and bodybuilding channels are just all the same showing how to make broccoli, chicken and rice with some teriyaki sauce , or pasta with tomato sauce and hamburger like that stuff is boring and that is not a diet I'm going to realistically stick to . This channel brings new life to your meals.
I just wanna say thank you so much for these recipes!!! I’ve been wanting to meal prep for a while now and every time I research meal prep, the recipes are either complicated, expensive, or the recipe only makes a couple meals. My friend and I are planning on using these recipes and tomorrow we’re getting the ingredients:) thank you for making such simply put recipes with a whole weeks worth of servings!! You’re making my life so much easier right now!!
Just a tip - replace that white rice with wild rice/long grain blend for more nutrients and a better flavour profile as well, the white rice has had most of the good stuff leeched out through processing....
I think this is what I'll make next week. Also, I have to say thanks for the videos and recipes, you got me to give meal prepping another go and aside from a couple weeks when I was traveling it's stuck for 6 months now!
I love this channel, he has been helping thousands of people such as my self to reach there fitness goals, if it wasn’t for this channel I would have still been a hopeless fat fuck, thank you for your amazing content!!!
This is a perfectly fine meal for cutting as well for some I would think. Subtract the cornbread obviously and then take out the rice or beans or maybe even both. Plan on trying this one with my wife this weekend. Will probably make a batch after that for myself with some habaneros instead of poblanos as I love spice.
I have made this a few times. I recommend storing the muffins in the freezer and thaw them in the microwave, because I got mold on them after four days.
ay bro this is a life savior cause my cut is 3000 cals you know hoe many meals a day I had to eat before i saw this video, thank you and keep up the amazing cooking
I'm on my third week of meal prepping and the coolest thing Josh has shown me is that you can hide your veggies in anything. He didn't say anything about putting a zucchini or spinach or carrots in this chili but I DID IT ANYWAY and it's delicious. Thanks Man for the concise and informative videos!
Someone probably asked this already, but I missed an answer, @Josh Cortis: Why do you hold your utensils in the strangest of ways? lol I just had to know. It's a unique thing I've never really seen before. Awesome video, btw. Keep it up, man.
If you're looking for a chili recipe in the future that works very well with a larger amount of carbs, Cincinnati chili is a great option. It's basically a slightly thicker chili poured onto rice/spaghetti (any other pasta works). It has a bit of a strange flavor because you use chocolate as part of the seasoning, but you might wanna check it out.
I've been making this for like 2 years now, it's just a solid cheap chilli recipe. Whenever I just don't want to cook for a week I spend an hour and a half on this and dinner is just... solved.
I’m meal prepping this now for my boyfriend IT’s tasting pretty good. I added more more of potatoes/onions/ peppers/ and garlic though. Along with more of the seasoning portions you use. And using 80/20 ground beef (it’s all they had.) Im cooking the rice separately though since that’s what’s we’re used too. This is fairly simple and easy to make. (Cutting corners a bit though with using jiffy corn bread 🥹. Sorry but it’s late at night. Issa ready to relax) He wants to put if weight This seems like a sure fire way to do so
Just went to Publix and got all the ingredients for 65. (Including spices and basic ingredients) I might have enough to make 7-8 meals. Per meal is looking around 8-14. Less if you already have the basics.
To tweak the recipe for the cornbread I would like to opt for erythritol sweetener or monk fruit sweetener. To avoid sugar spikes or limit sugar intake...I'm not against sugar but if anyone would want to limit sugar intake those options would be the way to go.
Hey dude, I make look forwad to seeing your new videos, im loving the 1000cal meals, im a cyclist and when im getting in a lot of K's these keep me full and happy !
Great recipe! Would you happen to have InstantPot (pressure cooker) instructions? I don't own a separate large cooking pot and would like to set it and forget it for the cooking phase.
dawg you really gotta either peel your russets or use a different strain of potato whose skin tastes good when boiled. russet skins only taste good when baked or fried, they turn into wet cardboard flavored dirt when under wet heat
Great video Josh! What would you recommend for someone that is trying to lose weight while still building muscle (or at least maintain mass and strength)? I'm maintaining a caloric deficit of anywhere from 500-1000 calories a day and a lot of my calories come from protein. My workout routine is 15-30 minutes of intense cardio 5 days a week with lifting 4 days a week. Thank you for the videos, your meal preps have really helped me out!
500-1000 calorie deficit is way too much when you're trying to lose weight while building muscle. Stick around 100-300(at most) calorie deficit. It'll take longer to lose the extra fat you want to lose but it'll also stop you from burning out and fatigueing (and potentially causing injury). With that much of a calorie deficit you will not build muscle, you'll probably barely retain what you have if not actually lose some mass. Good luck, you can do it. Dont take my word for it, go look up what youtubers like Jeff Nippard say. Almost any youtuber I've come across has said those exact words. Don't go too low when cutting or too high when bulking. Going for extremes is always bad in the long run. And if you are finally at a weight where you're comfortable and wish to continue building muscle then go for a slight calorie surplus with like you said a lot (about 25-30%)of it coming from healthy proteins.
I am curious as to why you used potatoes over beans, especially considering beans are traditional and beans+rice= complete protein source. Great video though, definitely will be stealing a few of these tips!
Also, great anabolic chili tip is to use cottage cheese instead of sour cream & make a "protein" cornbread. If someone who likes to mix the cornbread into the chili like me, you might want to save yourself the time and energy and instead mix up a small amount of masa flour in water and add that. It will be less calories, less work, but it will provide the same texture as when you mix in the cornbread.
So, hear me out. If I wanted to make this as a cutting calories meal instead of bulking, could I remove the potato and the rice along with the cornbread and get it down to, say, 600 calories? I only ask because I'm trying to lose weight and many of your recipes are helping me do just that. I want to have this one in rotation since we're getting into winter, but I just don't need 1000 calorie meals at this phase.
I really don't get why so many youtubers bother with the containers - not only it adds unnecessary garbage but it's also an extra step in the process - why not just store it in the pot in the fridge and scoop out the portions as needed?

Another tip for onion criers: sharper knife = less smashed cell walls = less crying gas produced
another tip: put the onion into the freezer for 2 mins before you cut it
I used a hazmat suit personally
I deadass wear swimming goggles
cutting them under the microwave with the vent fan on also gets rid of any crying
When i cut onions, the onion starts crying.
Bro this is seriously the best meal prep youtube channel. No BS side stories, exact measurements, great technique and macros provided. And measurements converted to metric! 🇦🇺 Going to sub to your website cheers bro
Onions aren’t a problem for me, I’m always crying anyway.
Leave em in the fridge, keeps the onion fluid cold and thus preventing from vaporising and ending up in your eyes.
Happyness is not optimal for gains anyways
I love that you specify measurements in the metric system!
Thanks for this, brother. Wife and I are on a tight budget now with 2 kids while moving into a new home. We both have full time jobs. Just did this recipe and I’m ready to start this meal prep journey, man. You’ve got my full attention

I just made this and it tastes amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and wouldn’t change a thing. Will absolutely be making again.

I love your videos and your cooking is so inspiring. Thank you 👌🏽💗
Thank you 🙏
I have made this a few times. I recommend storing the muffins in the freezer and thaw them in the microwave, because I got mold on them after four days.
The way you held the spoon.... bro... LOL. Great video though, will definitely be making this for next week. Happy to see a higher calorie meal!
Keep the bulking videos coming 👍🏼 it’s that time of year
going to try and do 1 a month
I've been in the slumps these past few weeks, but these videos always cheer me up. Maybe its the dry humor that lightens the mood for me.
ay bro this is a life savior cause my cut is 3000 cals you know hoe many meals a day I had to eat before i saw this video, thank you and keep up the amazing cooking
glad to hear that 😎
BRO UR CUT IS 3000??? ARE YOU LIKE THE HULK???
Love these Josh! Please give us more super high-calorie meals like this and Hambulker Helper they are amazing!!!
Bro. I eat this foe breakfast lunch and dinner for 2 weeks. It's so good and yields a lot of servings, thanks.
Tip for the rice, add it after the tomato sauce and broth. My rice burned the bottom because of the direct heat contact at the bottom of the pot
Josh your high calorie meals are amazing please make more of them!!!

just doubled the recipe making this and the chicken fajita bowls for me and my boyfriend trying to get my muscles and weight back up
Brilliant. Never heard of putting potatoes in chili but it makes perfect sense. Like fries with ketchup. In your chili.
More muscle gain meals please I love them
going to try and do 1 a month
Great recipe! Would you happen to have InstantPot (pressure cooker) instructions? I don't own a separate large cooking pot and would like to set it and forget it for the cooking phase.

I don't like peeling potatoes either, but I also don't like the taste of the peel, so I scrub them really well with a clean Dobie teflon-safe pad.
Yes🤩 thank you!! One more 1000 cal recipe and ill have a full month of bulk meal prep🔥
this looks amazing. i love chili with fries, so im considering doubling the potato content? i hope it works out

500-1000 calorie deficit is way too much when you're trying to lose weight while building muscle. Stick around 100-300(at most) calorie deficit. It'll take longer to lose the extra fat you want to lose but it'll also stop you from burning out and fatigueing (and potentially causing injury).

Thanks for the awesome recipes man. Think you can do a carne asada or chicken chipotle burrito bowl meal prep recipe?
For a better corn bread (my opinion)
Use buttermilk
I play squash competitively, cool to see that you play!
I came for the recipe, stayed for the verbal beatdown :D
Bulking is just a dream for me
Can you use dry beans instead of canned beans? Please let me know. Thank you!
I can't eat beans or potatoes. What would you substitute for them? I really wanna try this
just leave them out
Find out calories in the potatoes and beans, then sub in an equal calorie amount of rice maybe?
Love the high calorie meals!
Holy, this looks so tasty, thank you for the great food tip
It was amazing and 2 friends of mine have alreadt tried making it aswell!
Would adding more beef while keep the other ingredients the same ruin the meal or no ?
This man is doing the Lord's work for us skinny people.
👍👍
Did you drain and rinse the beans? Or add the beans with the canning liquid?
Bruuuuuuuuuuh, how can you use your spoon like that. I tilted right when I saw that xd

Yes, the calories are hard, and so is getting enough protein. But I seriously can't do the 85% ground beef. All that grease makes me sick.
