Zandre van der Berg agreed - i want to see how you eat enough protein when you are a 225lb guy and you're supposed to get 1.25g protein per pound of body fat which is a whopping 281.25 grams of protein - even with me eating salmon and tuna steaks (about 35g protein per 6oz filet) and protein shakes (25g each), its very hard to eat 281g protein!!! Show us how you would achieve this Layne!!!
my man I have some news for ya......U dont need a ridiculous 280 grams of protein......I am a big guy as well 6 foot 3 215 and cutting down to be chiseled I NEVER track protein....if i get 150 thats awesome but macros will fuck you up......!!!! hope this helps Rocc nyc
This video is just the reason I am subscribed to you. You give scientific data plus you keep you explain complex theories to a simplified format. Also the Cooking show helps: My favorite recipe is your pumpkin pancakes. Thanks Layne .
I used to skip breakfast because I'm trying to lose weight and the protein I would get vs calories consumed for a good breakfast wasn't worth it. I watch this and it's now one of my most important meals as it makes it so easy to hit my protein macros in a day
Just a heads up, bacon including all the grease that comes off it has about 9g of fat, depending on the brand and all that. I know this because my bacon nutrition facts says "uncooked" with 9g of fat, where as yours most likely assumes once the bacon is fully cooked, the grease is drained, greatly reducing the fat. If you are keeping the grease to cook the eggs, you are probably consuming closer to 9g rather the 3.5g you stated. Just my thoughts on it! Keep it up with your awesome videos, I love learning all the little details you're always explaining!
I know this is 5 years old, but that is not at all how nutrition labels work. They provide the calorie content as is. They can't lessen the number on the label by 50%, just because they assume you'll drain off the fat....
Wow Layne! I'm watching your video's tonight. This video is 6 years old. Look how far you've came. You grew a lot of muscle in the past 6 years and had much success 🙌 I wanted to take a moment to tell you Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You've helped me so much! I have came a long way in these past 2 years by implementing what you taught me. I am in the best shape of my life and feel amazing. You made things easier for me to reach my goals and made it sustainable. Your book Fat loss Forever is a great book and helped me a lot. Carbon diet coach is amazing! Best app ever! I couldn't have done this without Carbon and your knowledge. Y'all did an outstanding job building the Carbon Diet Coach app. Thank you 😊
This is a really good approach, I've been doing this without realising it. As a comparison, my breakfast (at 10.30am) today was 2 whole eggs and 2 small cans of tuna + a small piece of bread ~50g protein, 28 fat and 23 carb. For me personally, I know this will keep me full and satiated (which is more important than anything) till dinner at around 7-8pm 26kg down, 26 to go Thanks for the great info as always!!
I remember reading somewhere that they can be off by a certain small amount on any packaged & labeled food or drink. Not sure where I saw that now! lol
Kara Corey Fit Life Yeah I never knew about the splenda packets, also watch out for "zero calorie" energy drinks, check the back and they have a few cals, 10 - 15 cals whatever...
Can you make a video presenting the current literature on meat consumption in relation to health and performance. What are the benefits and possible downsides?
Hello. Last night, I watched the 3 hour video with Andrew Huberman and learned quite a bit. Interesting video covering multiple health topics. So, I’ll watch the series throughout the next few months. (I spy Chex cereal on fridge top! 🌾)
Hey Layne, thanks for the video. Question/maybe for antoher vid - With the given that most importantly you are tracking your total Calories Macros and Fibre intake, within that what would be some key meal timing and nutrient timing guidelines, even some helpful food source options or types (like when would you likely most benefit from slower or faster acting protein and carb sources and amounts around gym time, in relation to sleep quality and so on) I would love to see a full day of eating type vlog with your total macros calories etc plus tips on meal distribution and timing, though it is not as important as total macros, I think for those of us who do already track totals, it could also play a role. Thanks
3.5g fat a slice?? Those macros are for COOKED bacon (without the grease) by using that grease you have another 20-30 grams of fat in there (can be up to 11g/slice which is 44g!)... How do you worry about 0.7g carb in your splenda packets and miss that in your EVERYDAY breakfast? I mean I know you haven't had your coffee yet but c'mon man! Lol
Yeah I made a comment on it. I realized this because my bacon's macros are stated as "uncooked" so it includes the fat that would otherwise become grease. Which is annoying for me because I usually drain some of the extra grease and I don't want to be overestimating my caloric intake while I bulk. The bacon I eat has 9.5g of fat and 3g of protein per slice. I also run into the same problem with ground beef.
Lorne Dezso do the math. Figure out the ratio. Then weigh the bacon after cooking, apply the ratio and there you have it, remaining fat vs protein minus grease. At least it's simple in my head lol
This is what I usually have for breakfast... Am I doing it right? Shake: 3/4 cup oats (dry measure) 80g baby spinach 100g frozen banana 100g frozen blueberry 30g whey isolate 62g cinnamon toast crunch Scrambled eggs: 3 eggs 5 oz egg whites 70g broc 70g mixed veg (green bean, yellow beans, baby carrots) About 50-100g red& white onions About 25g white mushroom 1 avocado 2 fibre 1 brownies 12 oz black coffee
Not good or bad really. Inn my personal opinion, if you can afford it, and don't have a issue with a list of 20 items for breakfast, it's actually better then what Layne is doing in this video, simply because you have somewhat better protein sources, fats and carbs, with added nutrients from veggies and descents amount of fiber. Since we don't know your stats, goals and eating habits, it's impossible to say anything about amount of calories etc. For me personally though, I just do 4 whole eggs, basic veggies and 2 slices of ezekiel toast, plus an apple - as it's way simply to both count and shop for :P
Jeez, so many fruits and veggies. Super healthy! I find it hard to fit in since I'm gaining weight and need to eat more calories, so if I did eat more fruits and veggies, I would be too full to eat enough cals
One question regarding the studies about meat and cancer: You say that the higher cancer risk could be due to the fact that meat eaters generally have less healthy life styles. But don't studies like that usually control for things like life style?
damn that is some good AND tasty macros for breakfast. Hey Layne would you be able to make a video on how to correct posture like maybe some stretch routines you go through or how often to get a massage or hit up the physio etc? I'd like to have your type of physique and posture one day! Keep up with the great content man!
Am I crazy or did you just save my daily macros? I love bacon and the best part is using the rendered fat to cook the eggs. However, most bacon packages suggest that the nutritional information given is only for the cooked strips. Therefore, I usually have to discard the fat or track it separately as bacon grease and when I do that it's a killer for my fat macros. Do you consider the bacon fat rendered as part of the actual bacon macros?
I've always been curious if the fat macros for fatty meat, (in this case bacon) include the grease that cooks off & remains in the pan. If so I've been under on my fats bc I've left the grease behind when I could've been utilizing it. Dang!!
Im quite late but I have question for yall. Layne here is trading fats from yolks to bacon and that’s understandable, but what about micronutrients? Egg yolk has better micronutrient profile than the bacon and Layne doesn’t seem to care.
Let's say you didn't cook any eggs and just did the bacon. What about the fat that would be left in the pan? Would you just count the total fat in your macros, or would you try to subtract a bit out to account for it?
bringing bacon back into my life was perhaps the wisest, most enjoyable and simple choice i have made in a long time......2016 accomplishment as far as i was concerned!
😅🤣😂. Layne Norton-I don't eat carbs at breakfast so I can enjoy it later in the day. Meanwhile I am thinking he and I are typically same(influenced by reading muscle magazines)😅🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Layne, hi first of all just want to say thank you for all your knowledge. You methods of the body, nutrition, and training are amazing to me. I want to know with all your knowledge why are you not like a lot more heavier than you are? Don't get me wrong you look amazing bro. Just wondering how you keep yourself from not wanting to be A BEAST. Also would like if you could do a video on how often you can train a muscle group in a week. Like if your still sore can you train a muscle group when it is 75 percent healed and still get growth. Thank you in advance Pete Curtis
Ive noticed a lot of bacon says 2 cooked slices weight 14 g for 1 serving, but when I weigh the bacon it is just 1 slice that = 14 grams. Which should you rely on? The serving size weight or serving size amount the package says?
Love your videos, Doc. Ya know if you cut your bacon in half (no shit, not length-wise) it'll be less of a PITA to cook. BTW, how many carbs in the beer and wine in your refrigerator?!?!?
Layne, I see you are big on the liquid Splenda. Unfortunately, I can taste "chemicals" so I gave it a good go, but I just can't even. However, I would like to hear your thoughts on the flavored drops. Dasani is one of them, but I prefer the cherry kool-aid. Sometimes I just want more than plain water.
You cook your egg whites in the bacon grease. Usually, macros on bacon is for COOKED slices, is it not? Meaning that the fat rendered from the slices isn't in the fat on the label. Do you add that fat in when you track this breakfast?
hey there ,new subscriber i was so in to video watching cook bacon ,then you start talking about meat, fat , cancer etc that i forgot you you were actually cooking food to eat😂😂😂😂 thank you sooooo helpful.
LAYNE - NEED HELP - i want to see how you eat enough protein when I am a 225lb guy and you're supposed to get 1.25g protein per pound of body fat which is a whopping 281.25 grams of protein - even with me eating salmon and tuna steaks (about 35g protein per 6oz filet) and protein shakes (25g each), its very hard to eat 281g protein!!! Show us how you would achieve this - day in the life style - thanks in advance Layne!!!
You just know somebody's going to misinterpret this. 'So guys, it's not like the fat is bad. It's just that I want X amount in a day and it's just about the tradeoff of where it comes from.' "So I shouldn't eat the yolk?" 'Wh.. No that's not the point at all.' "But you're saying fat is bad. I should avoid fat yeah?" 'Jesus christ'
This is great! Would love to see an am to pm meal creation or prep with the same annotations! Seeing is helpful psychologically because I've read all the articles and I still eat my trans fats stress go-to! Damn anxiety!
+biolayne, do you make a distinction between fats? For example, I try to have as little sat. fat as possible to maintain lower cholesterol levels. Just curious about your approach, whether you get a annual lipid panel, etc etc etc. Thanks :)
Hey Layne, just wondering about the loss of fat in the heat/meat process, if one were to get rid of the bacon grease after cooking, how would you be able to calculate the bacon in terms of fats lost? Something I've always been curious about and have shied away when it comes to Bacon because of it's high fat content.
If you look a the nutrition label, as Layne stated, each strip of bacon equates to about 3.5 grams of fat (2 strips were 7g). The most common error people make with this approach is that they assume that is referring to the raw strip of bacon, which actually contains much more fat than 3.5g per slice. The nutrition label for bacon _usually_ refers to prepared bacon, where each strip of bacon loses almost 2/3 of its raw weight to moisture and fat loss. Meaning, if you pan fry and drain the grease, you will get closer to the 3.5g of fat per slice. If you leave the grease in the pan to cook the remainder of your meal, it will be more flavorful, but at the cost of having more fat per slice, probably closer to around 9g of fat per slice. I typically save the grease in a baby food jar and put it in the fridge so I can appropriately weigh and more precisely calculate the macro impact with future use.
So is egg substitute just egg whites? I get the egg whites instead of egg substitute but have never looked at the macros. If there is no yolk, why does it look yellow? Is it just food coloring?
Layne, what are your thoughts on sodium intake? Egg white substitutes tend to have a high sodium amount. Curious if you have a set limit or a rule of thumb that you follow.
Hi Layne, might be a dumb question but If you are cutting, would you avoid cooking the eggs in the bacon grease or is that technically included in the fat grams from the nutrition label?
I know it's kinda of topic but what's the best way to heal a muscle pull/tear. Particularly in the glute (because it has to be used so much in the lifts as well as life)
Just a quick question..I've heard your body can only process 20 grams of protein at a time and eating more than 20-30 grams at a time doesn't have any added benefit for you. Could you comment on that?
I think you answered this implicitly however I was under the impression it was best to consume fast digesting protein i.e. Whey upon waking to stop catabolism from sleeping. So whole food protein sources upon waking is ok?
I always thought dieting is expensive and 'healthy' food costs a lot. Little did I know. I got my diet plan from *Agoge Diet* and I was able to select foods that fit my budget.
So you don't do carb backloading or any of that nonsense, but you eat your carbs late in the day around your workouts when they're better utilized (the very definition of carb backloading)? 🤔
I would love you did more of these Layne. I know you don’t like to do these but we want these kind of videos 😊
do a full day of eating please

Center cut bacon yass. I didn't realize that about splenda packets,will check out the liquid drops for sure. Great video.
I didn't realize that either. I've been using liquid versions of sugar substitutes just because I thought they tasted better.
I remember reading somewhere that they can be off by a certain small amount on any packaged & labeled food or drink. Not sure where I saw that now! lol
Ah yup I have that problem with gluten. A couple food items say they're gluten-free but they're actually not. They're just under a certain limit.

Try cooking your bacon on a cookie sheet, comes out more thoroughly crispy

Hey Layne. You said you lower your caloric intake (carbs/fats) on your non-training days. Is this just out of personal preference?
So is egg substitute just egg whites? I get the egg whites instead of egg substitute but have never looked at the macros. If there is no yolk, why does it look yellow? Is it just food coloring?
marijo1013 it's just food coloring. Same macros for both, egg white in a carton and egg beaters.
is tirkey bacon better to use if you want the whole egg or would you still want to use egg white
Layne (or anyone) are you coming to Australia for Arnold's in March?! Us Aussies would love to meet you 😊
not this year, next year =)
biolayne We will hold you to it! If not I'll see you in the US :D
Would be cool to see a full day of eating
Layne, what are your thoughts on sodium intake? Egg white substitutes tend to have a high sodium amount. Curious if you have a set limit or a rule of thumb that you follow.
Do a full day if eating please
Hi Layne, might be a dumb question but If you are cutting, would you avoid cooking the eggs in the bacon grease or is that technically included in the fat grams from the nutrition label?
Add:My grandmother always cooked eggs in the bacon grease,,,, the best!
I wonder if the glycogen stores in meat carries over to daily carb intake 😊
no, death causes depletion of glycogen
Thanks for the knowledge
I know it's kinda of topic but what's the best way to heal a muscle pull/tear. Particularly in the glute (because it has to be used so much in the lifts as well as life)
Do the macros for meat include the fat that's cooked off? (bacon grease, ...)
Really glad I discovered your channel. Ironically it was because I was trolling Blahahahaha lol. You opened my eyes to daily dietary habits.
Do you focus more on your p/c/f more then calories ? Thanks
Just a quick question..I've heard your body can only process 20 grams of protein at a time and eating more than 20-30 grams at a time doesn't have any added benefit for you. Could you comment on that?
false. I've done a video previously addressing this
Thanks! I actually just saw that video a few minutes after I commented. Very informative.
Love your videos
I think you answered this implicitly however I was under the impression it was best to consume fast digesting protein i.e. Whey upon waking to stop catabolism from sleeping. So whole food protein sources upon waking is ok?
rockstarr469 yes it is fine
I noticed you handled raw bacon, then went directly into your bag and pulled out some cheese. Aren't you concerned about trichinosis?
biolayne what is your current cal intake for training days and off days?
great video! love it
Why the fook did Layne spray down the pan with pam when bacon has enough fat to cook on its own.
First; it's all I have in life.
I always thought dieting is expensive and 'healthy' food costs a lot. Little did I know. I got my diet plan from *Agoge Diet* and I was able to select foods that fit my budget.
Man my center cut bacon is 3 pan fried slices for 4f/7p
You're making me want to eat some bacon now dude! lol
So you don't do carb backloading or any of that nonsense, but you eat your carbs late in the day around your workouts when they're better utilized (the very definition of carb backloading)? 🤔
The real question is, what brand of beer is that? ;p
"Good enough for government work" haha!!!
Do you track the oil you spray in the pan?
