@@neskec90 oh damn that does make sence. Ill deffinately have to be more caustious when lookin at stuff. I usually just look for that big 0 on the cals
@@neskec90 well the reason they can list 0 calories is because it's the same thing with ingredients. If it's under a certain amount, they aren't legally required to list it. Which is why that little thing had over 1000 servings
You could not have picked a better guy! Brent is a living legend and too humble to say so himself. Hardest worker in the room, every time. Let's get more Brent content!
Brent seems like such a nice down to earth kind of person. I agree food labels don't always tell the whole story, they can lie about certain things through all the loop holes allowed.
Oh yeah!! Let's go shopping! I love how he explains everything he touches to a T! M.S. I really enjoy these grocery shopping field trip videos! I learned a ton from them,and it seems everyone of these video's you put out, you have the perfect athlete for it! Thank you M.S. for dropping the knowledge of the do's and dont's of shopping!
Sometimes people in the bodybuilding world who have a good command of their diet don't understand how others struggle. They don't understand how people cant understand labels and can't pick out the lies on labels. This is a great video! Being a type 1 diabetic Brent has learned from an early age the importance of diet. I really like how you go over the labels. Excellent tips!
8:24 for real, Soybean is a common frying oil (along with cottonseed and canola). If anyone is spraying that on their veggies you might as well deep fry it. Heck, you might end up with less oil eating a tempura platter.
I did not know who that this till this video, but it is so nice to listen to him and he explains everything completely and gives great advices. Please do more with and about him 👏👏👏 best grocery shopping vid in a while
6:10 The chicken breasts that are half the price are weighed down with 50% added water in some cases (e.g. Aldi, Walmart). The half price brand he put in his cart, however, is actually really good quality and not waterlogged beyond belief.
@@muscleandstrength"Contains up to 15% Chicken Broth, Carrageenan and Salt." That's what my Heritage Farm package of "Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Breasts With Rib Meat" says anyway. The packaged pre-cut tenders are a little better, though.
The only way to know is to compare your cooked weight to your raw. Actual meat should cook down to 75% If 15% is added, that is gone from the top and you cook down 25% of whats actual real meat from there. So 100oz of "chicken" x 0.85 to remove filler = 85oz of chicken. 85oz of real chicken x 0.75 cooking process = 63.75oz cooked chicken Another thing is that nasty pad that soaks up the juice is included in the weight you are paying.
The spray “butter” works out to about 1g fat per 5 pumps. So just keep it to a little bit instead of hosing your food down. Same goes for no-stick spray too: 1 second ≈ 1.5 gram of fat. The whole point of a spray is to deliver a thin even layer, so a little goes a long way. More to the point though, be careful with “free” foods. If you can’t trust yourself around them, either assign them a couple grams of macros so they’re not free anymore or just don’t use them. (Not judging, btw. I’ve been that guy, that’s why I know those products’ real caloric values.)
I agree store brands can be good if you compare the ingredients & nutrition facts against the competition to make the better choice financially & for health/ results. No preservatives, artificial ingredients, GMO’s, & sugar, etc. is best even if another product costs a little bit more.
The fact that chicken tenderloins are half the price of chicken breast shows your average consumer doesn't understand anything about meat! Tenderloins are essentially the fillet of chicken. It is part of the breast! More tender and with more flavour while still lean.
If you love asparagus, sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, grow your own are very easy grow. And if like oat milk- make own too is very easy and way cheaper And make own bread , pasta way healthier than the preservatives get on the shelf.
I wish half of these things were in europe too. We don't have 0 cal ice creams or 0 carbs toasts etc... The only 'treat' I can get here is low cal greek yogurt. Even 0 cal sauces are hard to find
Diet drinks are toxicwith aspertame and artficial sweeteners. If it helps some people stay focused mentally so be it but I'd recommend drinking flavoured seltzer over any soda. It's carbonated water without the concern of artificial ingrediates that'll influence caloric intake.
Im amaze every Food you take theres a " nutritional facts" explanation behind it even if you criticize the pros & con its for the Public to know every detail more power to you brother😎💪🏼
The fact he said Kroger in the singular and not Kroger's, solidifies for me that he is one of those guys who says "Oh really? how many you goin to?" That Lewis Keto 35 calorie bread is the GOAT. It tastes so much better than that live carb smart bread and tastes indiscernible from real bread.
very informative. I learned not to believe its not butter lol got to be decent at basic math to do it quick and efficiently at the grocery store to educate yourself. always multiplying something to get BIG!
I don't get the butter thing. If they put 0 calories on it, I think the allowable tolerance by law is what like 10% from stated values? So it could technically have up to .1 calories per spray. So what if you use 50 sprays (I don't... but just saying) that'd be like 5 calories. It's also odd that directly after that we segway into the mustard which also claims zero calories.....

He’s one of the best I’ve seen recently. Speaks well and gets right to the point, very informative thanks Brent
Love the emphasis on veggies at the beginning, and the shameless couponing. We need him on again

Fan of this guy! He is the definition of determination! His pro debut was awesome this past year!
Extremely good tips and advice; definately need a part 2!
Lot's of diet hacks in his Full Day Of Eating!
I never thought I would love watching shopping with bodybuilders as much as I do. It's the best! So much knowledge and discipline.
Brent seems like such a nice down to earth kind of person. I agree food labels don't always tell the whole story, they can lie about certain things through all the loop holes allowed.
With his experience as both a bodybuilder and diabetic he's really paid attention to these labels and it shows!
Love Brent, hope he gets his health in check..would love to see more content from him

Thank you for this- super informative video! The big takeaways for me were the chicken breast / rib meat and the spray butter. 🔥🔥
I learned a lot from this video! Thank you, Brent!
Brent is very knowledgeable, I enjoyed this grocery shopping haul.

Does that chicken say it contains broth/water as well as chicken breast in the ingredients?
@@muscleandstrength"Contains up to 15% Chicken Broth, Carrageenan and Salt." That's what my Heritage Farm package of "Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Breasts With Rib Meat" says anyway. The packaged pre-cut tenders are a little better, though.

Stay tuned!
These are literally my favorite types of videos

He's so right about maltitol, I learned the hard way
😭😭
Great and smart bodybuilder. Really enjoyed his inside, keep it up!
Love this guy. Genuine no bs
Truth!
Thank you!
I agree store brands can be good if you compare the ingredients & nutrition facts against the competition to make the better choice financially & for health/ results. No preservatives, artificial ingredients, GMO’s, & sugar, etc. is best even if another product costs a little bit more.
I eat the chocolate Breyer's Carb Smart or vanilla no added sugar which is even less calories serving and divide it into 4 servings.
This guy is great.
Brent is a great guy he’s always been nice to me every time we’ve talked at shows and he’s jacked af
Couldn’t agree more!
I like this dude, more of him, he seems pretty chill
I like Brent he sounds relax...
He's super chill!
I love this guy. So down to earth and realistic eating.
Years of loving and living the lifestyle = epic knowledge.
My favorite store and i have that carb master bread. Slice is small but taste is ok
My favourite natty of all time
Appreciate the knowledge on a couple things, like the spray butter,
Thank you for watching and commenting!
The fact that chicken tenderloins are half the price of chicken breast shows your average consumer doesn't understand anything about meat! Tenderloins are essentially the fillet of chicken. It is part of the breast! More tender and with more flavour while still lean.
Some good tips here for sure.
This man has a great attitude great video M&S.
Yes he does! Thanks for watching man!
I did not know about the butter, great vid!
Great video as always! Keep them coming! :)
Really enjoyed this!
Love THIS dude!
Very helpful!!! Thank you!
Great video. This guy is awesome super genuine!
Glad you liked this episode thanks so much for the comment!
This guy's class.
8:55 because if its below 5 calories then they can call it zero... so it's realistically 9 calories per gram of the stuff
Man Brent seems like really nice person.
If you love asparagus, sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, grow your own are very easy grow.
And if like oat milk- make own too is very easy and way cheaper
And make own bread , pasta way healthier than the preservatives get on the shelf.
Good vid. Seems like a decent and straightforward guy.
Absolutely.
very knowledgeable guy, great video!
I wish half of these things were in europe too. We don't have 0 cal ice creams or 0 carbs toasts etc... The only 'treat' I can get here is low cal greek yogurt. Even 0 cal sauces are hard to find
Honestly that's because they aren't good for you at all and full of chemicals
Diet drinks are toxicwith aspertame and artficial sweeteners. If it helps some people stay focused mentally so be it but I'd recommend drinking flavoured seltzer over any soda. It's carbonated water without the concern of artificial ingrediates that'll influence caloric intake.
Wow first time I saw him. He is so nice. I watched the whole video.
Awesome thanks for watching glad you liked the video!
Im amaze every Food you take theres a " nutritional facts" explanation behind it even if you criticize the pros & con its for the Public to know every detail more power to you brother😎💪🏼

Tren is what takes my physique to the next level
I have a question for the peanut butter when you're weighing out how many grams do you do
I stay away from soda's because the carbonation causes stomach stretching gasses
Great video bro🔥
Brent 🐐
Mio lemonade for the win!
Seems like a super good dude!
Quality content greatly appreciated 💪💪👌👌
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed !
I was skeptical about ol boy buy when he said why spend more money than you need to 👌
The fact he said Kroger in the singular and not Kroger's, solidifies for me that he is one of those guys who says "Oh really? how many you goin to?"
That Lewis Keto 35 calorie bread is the GOAT. It tastes so much better than that live carb smart bread and tastes indiscernible from real bread.
Facts, peanut butter makes bulking a lil easier.
Great video.
very informative. I learned not to believe its not butter lol
got to be decent at basic math to do it quick and efficiently at the grocery store to educate yourself.
always multiplying something to get BIG!
Absolutely. I've always wondered about this spray lol
Great video
Bret what’s up big homie from making big moves congratulations on the new pro card!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Great tips
🔥🔥💪
Is he sponsored by muscle egg because his head is shaped like one?! 😂 🤣 J/k, Brent, great video!
Thanks for the great info!
Based. Real butter and mustard all day long
This guy is massive! It's funny how his client was using half a bottle of "I can't believe it's not butter" a day lmao.
I like this guy
Good one
This is quite an eye-opener - cool channel! 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
💪💪
I don't get the butter thing.
If they put 0 calories on it, I think the allowable tolerance by law is what like 10% from stated values? So it could technically have up to .1 calories per spray. So what if you use 50 sprays (I don't... but just saying) that'd be like 5 calories.
It's also odd that directly after that we segway into the mustard which also claims zero calories.....
