Shadowing Practice: What I eat in a day (macro tracking) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello and welcome.

Today we are back to another what I Eat in a day episode.

So this is what I'm eating today.

I don't eat like this every single day.

Actually, I have not been consistently tracking my macros.

So today we're going to be doing that and see what the results are for the day.

This is my second cup of coffee.

Cheers. Time for breakfast.

I really usually don't have eggs for breakfast.

But I had eggs for breakfast a couple days ago.

And, it just feels very official, so I'm gonna have that again today.

Gonna scan the barcode on these bagels to get it registered. Perfect.

And all the information is in there.

Now I have one singular piece of turkey bacon left.

So I'm going to have this one piece of turkey bacon.

The color looks a little sketchy.

I'm not gonna lie.

I don't think it's supposed to look like that.

I think it'll be okay, though.

As you can see here, I've had turkey bacon recently, so it's right there at the top.

However, I'm only having one slice today.

I don't think that was on the right setting.

I don't think it cooked. That's okay.

And this is today's breakfast.

Apollo. Apollo, you want to come here?

Come here. Not for you.

Not for you.

No. he's getting bolder by the day.

Let's make a bite.

The bite. done Lunch.

All right. Here I am, preparing lunch to bring with me Sometimes if I know, I'm going to be really busy in the morning, I'll pack lunch the night before.

But usually I just pack for the morning of.

For me, meal prep is usually only like a one day in advance situation.

The exception to that rule of packing.

Everything day of or day before is sometimes.

If I have a lot of meat, I'll cook that, like, a few days before.

And just like he did over the course of 2 to 3 days.

I cook this chicken yesterday.

And this is going to be the lunch for today.

I'm also going to pack some snacks.

I have dried fruit and going to bring some of these cinnamon pita chips.

Portion size 30g.

Here we go.

All right. I had to cut the work out early because I started to feel bad.

So now. The dried fruit that I packed earlier.

All right. I had to turn it back on to show this combo.

My date, my cinnamon pita very good Now it's time for the rest of my lunch.

Ooh, a little watery in there.

Okay. Oh, actually.

Really watery.

Icky. Very good though.

What the heck Okay.

And before we proceed, I would just like to say this message about today's video sponsor macro factor.

So macro factor is the app that I have been using to track today's food stuff.

And it's the one that I've been using for a couple of months now.

Macro factor is a smart nutrition.

And macro tracking coach app.

So not only can you use macro factors to track your food like we've been doing today, but you can also use it to track your weight, which I was doing when I first started using macro factor.

But then life got in the way and I stopped tracking my weight because I kind of got lazy.

But the cool thing about when you do both those is it really helps the algorithm of macro factor to analyze and assess variations in your expenditure to curate specifically to your needs and change your macro meal plan.

You can also change your goals over time and macro factor will adjust to that.

For example, I had a goal a couple months ago.

I tried to change it today.

And it calculated for that.

And then I decided, for the sake of this video, I wanted just something very simple.

So you can also do it where you just track, like what you want to do.

So, like here in the strategy section of the app, you can track your weight, your weight goal.

It will show you the goal rate of change and also Apollo.

And it'll also let you know like approximately how long that will take you, which is really cool.

And then if you are consistent with tracking your weight it will like, oh, calculate those things, So my favorite thing is the food log section, where you are able to log your food faster than any other macro app, and also, aside from just like looking up the random food, it has a big database.

Like when I showed the gorilla mind thing.

so you can do that or if it's not in there, you can put it in yourself manually, which is also really cool.

Quick add option to like do things manually.

Library. This has my recipes that I made and put in the ingredients and then like the serving and it calculate all that stuff, which is really cool.

So while Macro Factor is a paid app.

That means you will never see any ads.

And also they will not sell your data.

So there's that.

Also, it is cheaper than the paid version of like MyFitnessPal for example.

So there's that.

Also you can try it for free.

You can go to the App Store or Google Play Store and download Macro Factor.

Or you can go to Macro factor.com.

And I'll put a link in the description box.

Also if you use my code BEEF You will get a two week free trial period.

yeah, if you use code beef two weeks for free to try it out.

Back to the eating.

It. It's time for a snack.

Here we have frozen mango.

This is my favorite.

Thing, but it's obviously been a little too favorite.

And I forgot to get more.

Frozen mango.

I'm going to put some pineapple in there today.

definitely not my favorite, but whatever.

Frozen pineapple.

gorilla mind Protein powder.

And then I would like to put some kind of milk in here.

But I don't have any.

100

So. Whatever.

101

very good This will hold me over until dinner. Dinner.

102

All right, time for dinner.

103

For dinner today, we're going to be having beef and oats.

104

Savory oats.

105

I actually like them a lot. I like them a lot more.

106

When you let them sit for, like, a day, and they kind of congeal.

107

So maybe I'll cook that first and put it in the freezer.

108

I like it when they're cold to cold. Savory oats.

109

I usually just do one serving.

110

Back to the oat cabinet.

111

here I have 93 seven lean beef.

112

It's finally the end of an era with my 8020 beef or 8515, whatever it was, it shall be missed.

113

I ate all 20 pounds of it or whatever it was.

114

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's from the I have bad News video where the bad news was announced.

115

The bad news was not the 8020 beef.

116

It's literally not that deep to me.

117

I really don't care.

118

That's why I ate all of it.

119

And it wasn't an issue because it's not that serious, at least for me.

120

You know, maybe for you live your life, baby.

121

Our oats are done.

122

I'm gonna put them in the freezer so they'll cool faster.

123

I don't think it's going to give us the same effect, because usually when it just sits for a long time, water kind of makes it slimy.

124

Yea, I really enjoy that. But.

125

We'll see what happens.

126

While that's happening, I'm going to cut up some carrots and pickles.

127

I prefer the large carrots that look like they came straight out of the earth.

128

Dirt on and everything.

129

Those are the carrots that I like.

130

But I already have these in the fridge, so my mom says baby carrots are unnatural and an abomination.

131

I say baby carrots.

132

Time to plate.

133

It's still quite hot, but I think it cooled down a little bit.

134

Fun fact about me I don't like very hot food.

135

I like it lukewarm or cold.

136

I'm familiar with the salt in there.

137

I'm not tracking the salt or anything.

138

Probably if I wanted to get the most out of my experience, it would be ideal to track that.

139

But I'm getting something out of it, you know?

140

I'm going to add some of this honey mustard.

141

I really like this honey mustard and barbecue sauce.

142

Kind of make it like a burger bowl.

143

Kombucha for Bev And I think it would also be good to have some more watermelon, since I just chopped it up and I need to eat it.

144

pretty much once you chop the melon, it's melon on the menu for a while.

145

And now I'm going to enjoy this and watch Dexter.

146

How do you feel about mukbangs I know they're kind of a trending topic right now.

147

I know some people watch them and, like, live vicariously and feel satiated watching that.

148

I never got that.

149

If I watch someone else eating, I'm the one eat.

150

So also, sometimes I've noticed they've started getting, like, annoying with their chewing.

151

It's like I can't even describe it.

152

They're not chewing normally.

153

They're definitely. like a show chew, which I can't be mad at.

154

Obviously they're doing it for a reason, but they're the professionals.

155

A few moments later.

156

All right. It seems I got a little bit of camp left.

157

burger bowl complete watermelon. Dunzo.

158

It appears based on my calculations, I am over the allotted macros and calories.

159

Whatever you want to say that I had for today.

160

Only by a little bit, though, so that's okay.

161

Usually, just kind of tracking it to track, but I can lock in and actually calculate correctly, I think the data received would be very interesting to look at.

162

All right. And I decided that that's all I want to eat for today.

163

So we're done.

164

I'm going to take my nighttime vitamins.

165

Today's calories came in at 2406 281g of carbs, 59g of fat, 178g of protein.

166

Now, all of those except for the fat are over.

167

You know the goal number.

168

How do I feel about that? Indifferent. I don't really care.

169

I like to track it, to track it.

170

But at this exact moment, I'm not worrying about being exact about anything.

171

And I say most of the time I'm not like that.

172

Worried it's just kind of like, whatever, you know, I'm just tracking.

173

But like I have said in the previous what I eat in the day videos, please don't watch this and be like, if I eat exactly what Patty eats, I'm going to look like Patty. You won't.

174

You won't look like me because you're not me.

175

You will look like yourself eating that.

176

So whatever that means, It might be too much for you.

177

It might be too little.

178

You should do what works for your body because your body is unique and your goals may be different from mine.

179

And that's totally fine. And we love to see it.

180

I just think sometimes these are fun to see.

181

What other people eat.

182

I try to eat a balanced diet in general.

183

So this is what today's diet look like.

184

it was good and I enjoyed it. It was fine.

185

I hope you enjoyed too.

186

If you did, or even if you did not, I would really appreciate if you could.

187

Like the video, subscribe to the channel.

188

If you're not already, and leave a comment below, because I always love hearing from you and I love to see you in the next one.

189

I feel like our snacks were kind of lacking today, so if you want a comment, a fun snack, maybe I can try that sometime.

190

I'd really appreciate it.

191

And thank you for watching. Adios.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
