I've been doing your recipes and since June 2022 I've dropped 90lbs. Meal prepping makes it easy to keep my daily caloric goals.

nice. meal prep so you dont have to think about meals at all you just know what you have available to you helps alot. makes it alot easier to be like oh i have this one meal till dinner so ill wait an extra hour to make sure i dont get hungry early etc etc. its also much easier to calorie count when you do things ahead of time. if your choosing what your going to eat moments before you choices are going to be worse i find.

I will never get tired of the expert level fork trolling by Josh

Best of luck with your fitness goals! You got this! Even if you have setbacks, keep going at it!

Thanks for adding in the freezer meal demo. I don't mind the same meal for a few days in a row, but I've been wanting to start prepping more freezer meals to create some variety based on when things are in season/sales/etc. Keep up the good work!

I do a lot of meal prep and use glass storage containers to store my food. I generally pull the food out a day early and put it in the fridge to thaw first but if I have to microwave straight from the freezer I microwave it on 40%. In fact, I microwave everything at 40% regardless whether it is frozen. Yes, it does take about twice as long, but the end result is soooo much better. Less hot spots, no rubbery or burnt pieces, etc. In any case, microwaving at the lower power setting has never been a problem for my glass containers.

I literally just came for the fork comments 😂 Recipe looks amazing

I really dig your style of videos. It’s incredibly refreshing to watch people on youtube that give zero fucks about the comments and what others expect of them and just do what they feel like. Your presentation and attitude is excellent. This compliment should be taken with some amount of consideration, as I often getting pulled into HR at work for being a blunt asshat. Also your fork handling and water drinking bowl is probably the wave of the future. I see no downsides to your methods.

thx for telling me about the european version of the tomato sause, alot of times i struggle to find the right things from american recipes and i chose wrong and it dosent come out good.

Well made video with great attention to detail without over explaining, I also hate cutting fat out of chicken so I might substitute chicken breast over thighs for this recipe, as I used chicken thighs for the first time recently when my grocery store was sold out of chicken breast and I was extremely annoyed by how much time I spent trying to remove fat and it was impossible to get it all.

I always make sure to use the same fork method you use with whatever recipe I decide to make, makes for a good finger dexterity workout half the time lol.

Josh these rice bowls are amazing. Keep them coming!

I have made this twice now. Easily one of my favourite meal prep meals. I eat them for lunch at work, and it always is refreshingly good.

2:56 You can know that chilis is not very hot because of Josh eating a little bit of it sticked to finger. Love it.

That fork grip is killing me! I know you’re doing it on purpose to mess with us.

Down 45 lbs since my peak via restricting calories to 1500 a day. It took over a year to lose the first 25 as I wasn’t fully consistent. I started meal prepping your meals and am down another 20 in under 3 months as I’m now very consistent with staying under 1500. Pace of weight loss accelerated dramatically. Another 20 to go. This dish in particular is great because it tastes good and is super filling while being low calorie. I put portions in the freezer so it’s easier than ordering garbage off UberEats It’s crazy how much food you get for the calories. When I see pizza or a tiny Starbucks breakfast sandwich I’m like damn that’s so much less food than these meal prep meals but similar calories. Pro tip: I have started to take half servings of these meals and put them as filling for a quesadilla. I use 170 cal tortilla plus 100 cals of cheese. Works great with this recipe and the Teriyaki beef recipe. Life changing stuff - thanks Josh

Only a genius like yourself would hold a fork like that. Thanks for the recipe!

Made 3 of your dishes today for a whole week, this recipe is best of them, love how much volume you get with low calories. Thank you very much

Love these weight loss prep meals as I am an older female getting close to menopause and really need high protein but low calorie. Also my 18 year old daughter is also adjusting to weight changes as eating the same foods as she ate when in high school is not going to work for a slower metabolism. Thank you!!!

The chicken recipe alone is worth the like. ITS SO DAMN GOOD. I couldnt stop picking at it

I made this for my meal prep this week and it's perfectly filling and really good! I cut the rice in half just because I need to limit my carbs, but the flavor on the chicken is super tasty. I'll probably top it off with the lemon zest for a stronger lemon hit next time. What I appreciate most about these recipes is that flavor matters as much as hitting macros. Not a single recipe has been a dud and I've made about 10-12 of them so far from oatmeal bakes to rice bowls to pancake bites... Keep up the good work Josh!

Made this today and it was FANTASTIC! The yogurt marinade is a game changer. I don’t think I’ll cook chicken again without Greek yogurt.

Thanks for sharing, these are easy to fix and glad you went over the freezing/reheating of the meal.

you're helping me fear portioned meals a lot less. i struggle with it still but you give me hope

Props for adding the heads-up for non-US people

Restaurant Staff: "How would you like to eat your meal?" Josh: "I liKe t0 E4t l1kE a F0rkLifT BRRRRR!"

If you have room for one I highly recommend a chest freezer. They're incredibly energy efficient for how much freezer space they provide.

Thank you Josh!!! I am going to use this. I am so thankful for the time and effort you put, not just in the food here, but the VIDEO itself!

Josh Cortis changed my life ❤

I love how strong forward you are

If you ever end up scorching stuff onto a pan, if you spray it down with oven cleaner and then cover that in plastic wrap, you can just take the plastic off after about 30-60 min and pretty much rinse off the problem.

heading to the kitchen to try this now. Cheers for the recipe mate.

This looks really good. I just got done prepping for the week to come, but I'm definitely going to do this for next week.

This looks awesome and ez. Next on my list!

In germany "chili powder" usually means pure dried ground chili. In US recipes they often seem to mean a chili powder mix with other spices. What the chili powder you're using in this recipe?

Wow, awesome dude. Thank you so much!

Just in case you are vegetarian, you can substitute the chicken with beans in combination with 1 ort 2 other vegetables. Black beans and corn, lentils and mushrooms, bean sprouts and radish, whatever!

Microwaves don't penetrate very deeply which is why they cook so unevenly (well, that's one of the reasons), so stirring often is required, as they actually just cook the surface and heat has to go towards the middle as usual.
