This came up on my netflix tonight. Of course you don't have to watch the whole thing, but I thought he did a really good job of explaining macros and how the body uses them. And also recipes for granola and protien bars https://youtube.com/watch?v=QrfCxwHfv6I

    Me too. I just discovered it on netflix, and I'm on my third episode tonight. The first episode was making the perfect bloody mary and margarita

    I like him when he sticks to talking about food, but he fat shames and I don't like his politics.

    I must admit I didn't get 2 minutes in because the guy was so annoying. So I have no idea if he ended up talking sense or not

    What's wrong? Are you a commie or something?
