Hello.

Are you ready to improve your English?

Well, today you are inside of my refrigerator,

and we are going to improve our English with comprehensible input.

What is comprehensible input?

Comprehensible input is when a native speaker like me speaks in a way that you can understand.

And today I am going to make a comprehensible input video for you by showing you how I eat every day.

So today I'm going to show you everything I eat.

We are going to talk about food and you are going to learn a ton of useful real life vocabulary in English.

Are you ready let's go hey guys Kyle here I just

want to welcome all of the new subscribers who found me on my recent videos

or this video and I want to give a big virtual hug

and welcome back to all of my loyal subscribers who have

been watching my videos some of you guys for years I appreciate you all very much.

So before I show you guys what I eat in a day,

let's talk a little bit about diet.

Okay.

And your diet is what you eat.

Okay.

Your diet is what you eat every day, every week, every month.

And the thing about diet is everybody eats different, right?

Some people like to eat

little things all day long all day they're snacking to snack means

that you're eating something little popcorn potato chips candy some people

snack all day okay some people like to eat the three main meals okay

and in english we call the traditional three meals breakfast lunch

and dinner breakfast is what you eat in the morning lunch is what you usually eat around 12 o'clock

or 1 p.m sometimes

and dinner I would say people normally traditionally eat dinner around

5 p.m here in the United States I know some places they eat dinner very late I heard

that in Spain sometimes they eat dinner at like 10 p.m sounds weird to me

so before I show you guys how I eat let's talk about how I eat

and you guys are going to get a lot of good vocabulary in this video a ton

so guys I usually just eat two times a day normally

most days I eat twice a day sometimes I eat three but I never never snack I never eat snacks,

little snacks, and I never eat more than three meals a day.

So how I eat.

Usually, I eat two big meals.

So on days that I do not have to go to work,

I usually will eat my first meal around 10 or 11 a.m.

Okay?

I know for some people,

they're thinking, oh, how do you do that?

It's so hard.

I would be so hungry.

And when my wife says that,

I tell her, man cannot live by bread alone.

Just a joke.

Which means that there's more important things than eating.

So normally I'll eat one meal at 10 or 11 a.m.

And then I will eat a big dinner around 5 or 6 p.m with my wife.

So the only times that I eat three times a day are when I work early in the morning.

And then I go to the gym to work out before work.

Okay?

So if I have to work at 6 30 a.m.

I'll go to the gym at 4 30 a.m.

Work out for one hour and then go to work.

So guys when I do that I am so hungry.

I'm starving.

So guys starving is actually not a good thing.

Starving means that you are dying of hunger you're so hungry

that your body is dying it's eating itself but people say

that all the time when they're very hungry they will say i'm starving i need to eat

but now that i think about it that sounds really bad

because there are a lot of people in the world who are actually starving so But yeah,

on days where I eat three meals, I eat smaller meals.

So I'll eat a smaller meal after the gym before I start working.

Then I'll eat another medium-sized meal at lunchtime at work.

And then I'll eat my big meal after I get home from work.

So another big part of my diet,

which I know is not good for me and I'm trying to slow down, coffee.

Coffee, guys.

I will drink black coffee

In the morning when i'm not eating and it helps me to not be

so hungry and give me energy And there's no calories in this.

I drink my coffee black No cream no milk no sugar.

I just like it black.

All right, guys, let's show you how I cook and eat Pretty much every day Okay,

guys, let's make meal number one Like I said,

when I don't work very early in the day and I don't get up very early to go to the gym,

I usually just eat twice.

So this is going to be the first of my two meals today.

Alright, let's check out our ingredients.

Our ingredients, the things that we are going to use to make this meal.

We have eggs.

I'm going to use a little bit of butter.

This is sausage, pork sausage.

now I know that a lot of people all around the world do not

or cannot eat pork both for health reasons or religious reasons

so if that is your case and you don't

or can't eat pork they make sausage just like this out of beef

and even out of turkey so check

that out it's really good too I just like pork

because I like fattier meat because when you're cooking my friends fat this flavor.

I've got some cheese right here.

Some really good high quality cheese and I bought this at a local farm by my house.

I prefer to buy things from local farms than to go to the big stores

because I want to support local families, right?

That's what you should do.

100

And then we've got these.

101

These are wraps.

102

We're going to basically make breakfast burritos or you could call them breakfast wraps.

103

Now we call them wraps because you wrap them up.

104

Now to wrap is a very useful verb in English.

105

You can wrap up burritos.

106

You can wrap a present.

107

To wrap is a very useful verb.

108

So don't forget that.

109

To wrap.

110

We are going to make a breakfast wrap.

111

So I'm making some rice right now.

112

I forgot to mention that ingredient but my rice is cooking right now

113

and while it's cooking I'm going to get everything ready.

114

All right guys so the first thing we're going to do is to grate some of this delicious farm fresh cheese.

115

This my friends this is called a cheese grater and you use it to grate to grate cheese.

116

Right now I am grating cheese.

117

Let me grate this cheese and then we'll talk about the next step.

118

Okay guys now that we have our grated cheese let's crack some eggs.

119

Okay guys, cracking eggs, to crack eggs is also something very useful to know in English

120

because many times if you're watching a recipe video or a cooking show,

121

they will say to crack eggs.

122

That just means to open up the eggs,

123

put them in a bowl.

124

All right, so now I'm going to cook my sausage, and my eggs.

125

I'm not gonna show you all of that because this is not a cooking video.

126

It's just an English video.

127

I just wanted to show you guys some very useful verbs like grating cheese and cracking eggs.

128

So I'll show you guys when I'm ready to put this together.

129

All right.

130

All right guys.

131

It is time to make these sausage,

132

egg, rice, and cheese breakfast wraps.

133

I'm also going to teach you guys another very useful phrase in English

134

which is meal prepping Meal prepping and we are about to meal prep.

135

What is meal prepping?

136

Meal prepping is when you cook one time,

137

but you make meals for more than one day For example,

138

we're going to make one wrap here.

139

I'm going to eat that right now I'm going to make two other wraps right here,

140

but I am not going to eat those today I'm going to eat those tomorrow

141

and the next day this way

142

when I wake up I do not have to cook

143

That is the best part about meal prepping you cook one time

144

And then you get to eat for a couple days without cooking again

145

Meal prepping is cool and it helps you to be healthier because if you already have food

146

Prepared and ready you will not be thinking hmm.

147

Maybe I should eat this this bread this donut this cake

148

you're going to think no I already have my healthy meal in the refrigerator let me just eat

149

that alright guys

150

so now we're going to put equal parts of all the

151

things we cooked on each thing boom boom on each wrap

152

so we're gonna start cheese let's put cheese on each wrap

153

I know this looks like a lot of cheese that's

154

because it is this is a very healthy cheese

155

and I love cheese I know I know some of you guys probably cannot eat cheese

156

or drink too much milk because it makes your stomach hurt.

157

That happens to my wife.

158

But me, I can eat cheese and drink milk all day and it does not hurt me.

159

So I love dairy.

160

And what is dairy?

161

Dairy is what we call any food that is made by milk.

162

Dairy.

163

Dairy products.

164

Cheese, yogurt, milk, dairy products.

165

Now, the white rice that I prepared.

166

The white rice that I cooked earlier.

167

We're going to put some of that on each one.

168

I hope all this stuff's going to fit on these.

169

Now we've got our eggs.

170

These are the eggs that I made.

171

We'll put an equal part of eggs on each one.

172

And last, the sausage.

173

Alright guys, now let's see if we can even wrap these things up.

174

One, two, and three.

175

Alright, and with this meal I'm going to have another dairy product that I really like.

176

That I bought from the local farm.

177

This is called kefir.

178

And kefir is like a yogurt that you can drink.

179

It's very good for you.

180

And I think it's delicious.

181

Tastes so healthy.

182

All right, let's try the first meal of the day.

183

Sausage rice and egg and cheese breakfast wrap.

184

185

186

All right, guys.

187

189

190

191

Guess what I'm gonna make?

192

Wife, what am I gonna make?

193

Ramen.

194

I'm going to make some ramen noodles, Japanese dish.

195

You could just buy a little little bag that has the ramen noodles in it,

196

but we're gonna make it with all these ingredients.

197

It's going to be delicious.

198

So let's go over our ingredients.

199

Here we've got some beef.

200

This is going to be a beef ramen or a steak ramen.

201

Right Right here we have what we call in English mushrooms.

202

This is called bok choy.

203

Some of you guys, if you're in Asia you may know what this is, bok choy.

204

Got some garlic here, some ginger,

205

and we're going to use the broth to make the soup.

206

So first things I'm going to do, smash up garlic.

207

And then we need just a little piece of ginger guys.

208

Ginger is very strong so you don't need a lot.

209

Maybe a piece like that.

210

We're gonna get this heating up in a pan and then we'll get our broth going.

211

We'll cut up our other vegetables

212

and i'll show you guys where we're at in just a minute all right guys

213

so we have our garlic chopped up this is to chop

214

to chop we have our ginger chopped up to chop to

215

chop chopping is an important verb we have our bok choy boiling in water for just a couple minutes

216

and now we're going to put it into some cold water this is called blanching you make it softer

217

but it still is a little bit crunchy you take it out before it gets too soft

218

and put in the cold water that's blanched i'm gonna put

219

it in the fridge until we're ready for it the refrigerator

220

guys the refrigerator i just said something very native the fridge okay the fridge that's what we call the refrigerator

221

if you're a native english speaker from the u.s in britain they say weird things they probably say Oh,

222

223

Something like that.

224

All right, guys.

225

I've got this little pot.

226

This is what our broth is going to go into.

227

It's hot, and there's a little bit of oil in there.

228

We're going to put our garlic and our ginger in there.

229

Oh, it smells already.

230

Guys, this is going to be delicious.

231

And I want to start this before I start the meat,

232

because you want to cook this for a little while and let those flavors really get into the broth.

233

All right, we're going to let the broth cook for a little bit.

234

While I get everything else ready,

235

I'm going to cook the meat

236

and I'll show you as we bring it all together

237

and serve up a couple of delicious bowls of ramen for my beautiful wife and myself.

239

Alright guys, take the beef out.

240

And now, if you watch any video of somebody who knows how to cook steak,

241

they're going to tell you to let it rest.

242

Rest.

243

You gotta let the steak rest.

244

Okay?

245

It has something to do with if you cut it right away,

246

all of the juices will squirt right out of it.

247

And we do not want that.

248

We want a juicy steak.

249

Juicy steak.

250

So while we let this rest for about 10 minutes,

251

we're going to start cooking our mushrooms, which I already cut.

252

We're going to cook that in the same pan that the steak was in.

253

And then we're going to cook our noodles,

254

and everything is going to come together deliciously.

255

See you guys in a minute.

256

Okay, guys, everything is starting to come together.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
