@@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
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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😎💪🏼
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
That was a great sidebar about “I can’t believe it’s not butter”. 1000 servings per container is absurd. (Edit) All his disclaimers were hilarious and informative.
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.
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.....
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!
Dexter Jackson had a video from like '06 where he was cooking and literally unscrewed the sprayer from the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and dumped half the bottle in the frying pan!
Frankly speaking when it comes to condiments, I am not really into sauces or even mustard, ketchup. I prefer sticking to lemon juice, vinegar and I just adore adore tabasco.
It was a pleasure working with Brent on this grocery haul! Thank you!

The way he speaks makes me just want to chill with the guy. Seems so down to earth. If only the whole industry was like this.
He is extremely down to earth and knows a ton about bodybuilding
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!
You got that right! Thanks for the comment!
Please bring this guy back on, he was phenomenal on explaining things
Several videos with Brent will release soon!
Fan of this guy! He is the definition of determination! His pro debut was awesome this past year!
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!
Extremely good tips and advice; definately need a part 2!
Lot's of diet hacks in his Full Day Of Eating!
Love Brent, hope he gets his health in check..would love to see more content from him
that's jay cutler

I never thought I would love watching shopping with bodybuilders as much as I do. It's the best! So much knowledge and discipline.
This man is dropping nutritional knowledge on us! Best video out to date
the attention to details on every grocery item is lit!!! 🔥🔥🔥 no bs. learned a lot. lots of tips shared.
Glad to hear you liked this video man thanks for the comment!
He seems like a good dude and definitely a smart shopper
Agreed with a lot of comments below. A good genuine decent guy. Hope he hits his goals. He's be a good ambassador.
Thank you for this- super informative video! The big takeaways for me were the chicken breast / rib meat and the spray butter. 🔥🔥
I love how real he is with his approach behind all the food
Love the emphasis on veggies at the beginning, and the shameless couponing. We need him on again
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 like the full day of eating and grocery shopping videos. You should do more of these videos with Brent.
I learned a lot from this video! Thank you, Brent!

Brent has some great insight into the foods he is picking and great suggestions!!
You got that right!
Seems like a humble guy nice video!

Brent is on the top of his game. Great Info!
Agreed!
My favourite natty of all time
First time seeing this guy but he seems really cool! More videos of him please.
Stay tuned!
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 really enjoy this guy on M&S never heard of him until now. Keep it going
He's so right about maltitol, I learned the hard way
😭😭
More videos with this guy. Down to earth and solid info.
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.
I like this dude, more of him, he seems pretty chill
Brent is very knowledgeable, I enjoyed this grocery shopping haul.
Glad to hear it!

Does that chicken say it contains broth/water as well as chicken breast in the ingredients?

I love this guy. So down to earth and realistic eating.
Years of loving and living the lifestyle = epic knowledge.
You can't forget the gear on the way out 😂
These are literally my favorite types of videos
Man Brent seems like really nice person.
Great and smart bodybuilder. Really enjoyed his inside, keep it up!
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 eat the chocolate Breyer's Carb Smart or vanilla no added sugar which is even less calories serving and divide it into 4 servings.
Love this guy. Genuine no bs
Truth!
Is he sponsored by muscle egg because his head is shaped like one?! 😂 🤣 J/k, Brent, great video!
Bret what’s up big homie from making big moves congratulations on the new pro card!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
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😎💪🏼

And make own bread , pasta way healthier than the preservatives get on the shelf.
This guy is great.
Tren is what takes my physique to the next level
Great video as always! Keep them coming! :)
This guy is so muscular so powerful looking he makes everybody else look little and thin
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
This man has a great attitude great video M&S.
Yes he does! Thanks for watching man!
That was a great sidebar about “I can’t believe it’s not butter”. 1000 servings per container is absurd.
(Edit) All his disclaimers were hilarious and informative.
Great advice this guy needs his own youtube vids deffinetly would subscribe
Couldn’t agree with you more!
Good vid. Seems like a decent and straightforward guy.
Absolutely.
I did not know about the butter, great vid!
Great video. This guy is awesome super genuine!
Glad you liked this episode thanks so much for the comment!
Some good tips here for sure.
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
Great vid! This dude is the real deal
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.
Really enjoyed this!
immediately love the guy paying so much attention to pricing than most of bodybuilders. yoked AF too
Yes same very relatable!
This guys real chill and reminds me of jay cutler and Evan centapani, I’m gonna start following him, he looks like he can place top 10 in the O
His IG is awesome- more content with Brent will release over the next few weeks stay tuned!
Appreciate the knowledge on a couple things, like the spray butter,
Thank you for watching and commenting!

Very helpful!!! Thank you!

💪💪
Wow first time I saw him. He is so nice. I watched the whole video.
Awesome thanks for watching glad you liked the video!
very knowledgeable guy, 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
Jesus the cranium on this guy gives Tito Ortiz a run for his money
This guy's class.
Mustard, garlic, pepper, cinnamon all great zero calorie things
Nice guy! Good tips. Perfect 🙂
My favorite store and i have that carb master bread. Slice is small but taste is ok
I was skeptical about ol boy buy when he said why spend more money than you need to 👌
Great content
Brent 🐐
Believe it or not, he’s the PE teacher at my high school
Bro goes to OV
Literally shat myself when i saw him shout out to okaw valley highschool and give me a like if you have had this beautiful man for a teacher
Great video bro🔥
I'm the frozen manager at a Kroger in texas. I would feel out if I saw you shopping my section!!!!
Dexter Jackson had a video from like '06 where he was cooking and literally unscrewed the sprayer from the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and dumped half the bottle in the frying pan!
lol! Classic!
11:48 that other guy's shirt 🤣
Lmao!
Great video.
No hate, this guy looks like the love child of Brad Rowe and Jay cutler
lmao! What a combo
@@muscleandstrength winning combo! I liked this guy, super personable and just nice. Great video guys
he's a good man! keeping real :)
Frankly speaking when it comes to condiments, I am not really into sauces or even mustard, ketchup. I prefer sticking to lemon juice, vinegar and I just adore adore tabasco.
Can't go wrong with those!
Based. Real butter and mustard all day long
I stay away from soda's because the carbonation causes stomach stretching gasses
Pretty sure this dude used to be a student teacher for my PE class in middle school, lmao wild
Wow that’s awesome haha!
