@@dah_goofster there are no nutrients in the starch. TBH these days I just wash and rinse the lentils thoroughly until the water is somewhat clear and don't bother pouring the cooking water off. Seems to work fine.
@@Grymyrk yeah I wasn’t talking bout just the start he though the cooking water could carry some nutrients in it but who really know unless some university does a study on it. The whole reason I’m switching my diet to soups and stews now is for the collagen and to make veggies more bioavailable, that’s the only reason I was asking haha
I’m no vegetarian but lentils are an awesome protein. Cheap, high protein, and with all the profound health benefits of legumes. One nice thing about lentils vs other legumes is that they are easier to digest, which allows you to eat a lot without getting gassy. Eventually your bifidobacteria will grow and your gut will adapt to any amount of fiber (one of the greatest benefits of eating a lot of legumes), but it’s great to have an option that’s easier to digest.
Great comment! Yeah, it's lower in oligosaccharides, which can cause gas. Of course everyone's gut is different but these are easier to digest and to cook. They just seem a bit happier to be eaten. - Nick
Thanks, I like your hack, I'm going to make this one. Hahahaha I was just looking in my pantry and I had a bag of lentils that's been sitting in there forever., that's why I searched lentil soup, and your video popped up. Thanks again sir. I don't even have to soak them with your recipe.
I absolutely love lentils and at the finish instead of vinegar I put in Frank’s hot sauce which is aged Cayenne peppers in vinegar. It adds. So much to the soup, vinegar is my number one favorite ingredient to add to lentils
50 grams per 3 cups. It’s a lot. When lentils are cooked they absorb the water and become more dense. Just like rice. So 3 cups of cooked lentils is like a whole full meal, if not more. The macros of lentils are amazing, but eating that much will make you feel super bloated and like a fart machine.
@@frequencyrich3099 Haha I promise I do eat 3 cups per day, I'm famous for it at the BarBend office! I should have said that if you're not used to that much fiber you should slowly add legumes to your diet, my gut is used to it now
I'm trying to increase meal diversity with other protein sources because after a few years of eating similar meals, it doesn't feel very inviting to think about the next meal that i have to eat
May I ask where you get the detailed nutritional data from? I'm trying to compile a list of nutritious foods and a lot of sources lack certain micronutrient data or it's just very inconsistent. Thanks!
Hey Nick, loved your channel man from India, awesome job dude lots of information, hey i have a question, I moved to USA to study, and can you please tell me where to buy isopure or ON supplement?, which i got to know by your channel, so far you said its the best supplement for beginners, so please care to respond
Lentils have 9 grams of protein per 100grams when cooked, that means that to get 54 grams of protein you need to eat more than half a kilo of cooked lentils. That’s not a meal that everyone can handle lol
Ranchers are hard to come by for most states. Butchers are okay...but bone stock popularity has increased the cost. I vote to save the bones and skin from rotisserie chicken or other meats you buy. Then boil the crap out of them. Very delicious
Hey hey hey??? How are you getting 54 gm? In how many grams of lentils?? Its only 9 gm per 100 gm of dry weight. I need this settled now. Please please. There is so much confusing information out there.
Yeah I saw the same thing when I googled it but the packages I have at home have between 20 and 25 gr per 100 gr of protein dry so I'd say he's probably eating between 200-250gr
@d It's 3 cups of lentils. If you google the nutrition in 1 cup of boiled lentils and times it by three, you'll see this recipe isn't that far off from that amount. I decreased the protein a bit and added some carbs and fat because of the olive oil and extra veggies, but it's not far fetched to get over 50 grams of protein in 3 cups.
I cook up some chuck cubes as well so there can be a boost of protien in there, i know this recipe is vegan but like i always say, vegan food is okay but usually meat makes it better
@@nickenglish5473 Nice! I hope i didnt come off as sounding anti vegan, i was being genuine because some of my favorite personal recipes are actually modifications of vegan recipies ive found
@@binkybonky3238 Yeah I worked out the other day 85% of my calories are vegan but I still eat ground beef and chicken stock (and rice and veggies) every night for dinner! #phytonutrientsareforeveryone
You have to soak all dry beans legumes lentils something we do as a principle in the East this helps amino acids to form as well as easy digestion - don't give up!
This is crazy. I eat lentil stew for lunch everyday every other week. No wonder I never have difficulty pooping haha 😅
Precook your lentils separately!! And drain the water, this will remove the starches that cause gas and bloating.
But what about the nutrients?

@dah_goofster you soak lentils to remove the anti nutrients first. 2 years later lol
As a vegetarian protein-conscious fitness enthusiast myself, I thoroughly enjoyed that video and recipe, thank you!
Glad you liked it, Anthony! - Nick

Try bahalina! It's so lovely, spiced coconut vinegar
Thank you sir! I’ve never thought about how good lentils are!!
Amy's canned lentil vegetable soup is a great shortcut.
I’ve been wanting to steer away from weight gainers/protein shakes after work outs. I like this!
Stay away from weight gainers altogether
@@supermasterfighter why
Great info 👍
Is it really 50 grams of protein per serving??? That's as much as my chilli which has turkey mince and kidney beans in it.. wow
It’s not. 50 grams is for 3 cups, which is an insane amount. I refuse to believe this guy eats 3 cups of lentils per day.
@@frequencyrich3099 I added in a kilo chicken thighs to my stew for the added protein

@@nickenglish5473 Hey Nick, quick question. How many servings were u able to make with those two packs of Lentils?
I'm trying to increase meal diversity with other protein sources because after a few years of eating similar meals, it doesn't feel very inviting to think about the next meal that i have to eat
Truly enjoyed this video. Didn't know you could make a big batch and freeze them. thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I agree and I do it very often to.
May I ask where you get the detailed nutritional data from? I'm trying to compile a list of nutritious foods and a lot of sources lack certain micronutrient data or it's just very inconsistent. Thanks!
great info man
dont forget to check up on that protein absorption chart...
Look up the Caribbean recipe (Trinidad) 🔥🔥
Watching English speakers make Indian dal is epic. Thanks for reminding me to stick to my roots.
What about adding mince meat and kidney beans 😋
Have you seen any downsides to consuming 3 cups of lentils everyday?
What type of lentils are you using?
Brown lentils or green lentils. The French/Italian kind, not the Indian kind (dhal)
Does that amount keep you full? Just wondering...
I feel a lot less bloated than i do with other legumes, but they're quite satiating. - Nick
Have trouble flavoring them it’s good tho I use beef de res

If you live in the US you can get these on Amazon or any supplement store like GNC or Vitamin Shoppe!
Lentils 500grms=130g protein 90cents
Which specific brand of lentils are you talking about?
how many servings are in this recipe?
Did i just watched a BA test kitchen best lentil ? Featuring ideas ?
Haha a good friend works at Bon Appetit, maybe I channeled her - Nick
How many grams is 1 serving of lentils?
Lentils have 9 grams of protein per 100grams when cooked, that means that to get 54 grams of protein you need to eat more than half a kilo of cooked lentils. That’s not a meal that everyone can handle lol
Really doesn't look too tasty! For any that cooked this, did it have much flavour?
dry stock cubes are usually bulked up with corn byproducts. best best thing to do is to buy bones from local ranchers
Ranchers are hard to come by for most states. Butchers are okay...but bone stock popularity has increased the cost. I vote to save the bones and skin from rotisserie chicken or other meats you buy. Then boil the crap out of them. Very delicious

Drop the oregano and get some paprika and a bay leaf in there, give it a try you wont go back!
I'll try this for sure
Shouldn't the fat here should be somewhere around 50g since you put quarter cup olive oil in it?
Per serving? No, not at all. That was more like 1/8 cup of olive oil for like 6 to 8 servings, and that's the only fat in the whole dish. - Nick
Can you do other stew recipes? I feel like I would get bored of this stew eventually eating it everyday
Hi can this helps me to gain weight
I cook up some chuck cubes as well so there can be a boost of protien in there, i know this recipe is vegan but like i always say, vegan food is okay but usually meat makes it better
Go for it! This isn't a vegan guide to veganism, just a guide to good nutrition

or-egg-uh-no... lol 😋🇺🇲
Wash your lentils 😅
Just make dhal lol
So high in fat though! Not that it 's bad but dhal tends to not fit in my macros
Talk more about whey :p
I've done dozens of videos on whey on this channel! - Nick
plants are just simply indigestible!

It does not matter how much it contains it matters what the body absorbs, and with legumes excess lectins can give you gut permeability issues...
Lectins are largely eliminated through cooking, though. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7407532 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2271815/ - Nick
