what's up youtube billy k here again today i'm going to show you guys how to make a healthier version of uh we're going to be using a little bit leaner proteins i found this new product that i've been using for the last year year and a half now it's very easy to make because you know it's just a power that you put in it's very macro friendly i mean i understand the way that my parents used to make it with using all the bones and all that stuff like that but frankly i just don't have the time to do that so being able to make something that's quick and fast make it fit my macros and still be able to reach my goals makes it very easy for me and i want to show you guys how to do it also i'm going to be showing you guys how to prep it in advance so now you can have you know pho as a type of meal prep for yourself whether it's for dinner or even just having an idea while um the weather starts to get cold and you want something a little bit soupy but still want it healthy all right so like many of my recipes i only used you know maybe less than five ingredients so from here i want to start off with the noodles or the banfa you can pick that up at any local market any asian market will be a little bit easier to find secondly we're going to use this powder that i got from costco it's a pho broth powder so all you have to do is really add in just the onions and the ginger next we have the lean protein so you can either choose you know chicken tenderloins chicken breast you know or a lean cut of beef such as a top round or round eye for me i just like to use the top brown cut another tip for beef is the less white it has the less fat it has it's not that fat it's bad for you but we're just trying to limit our intake or however you can fit in your daily macros and lastly you see the onions and ginger those are the only things that you need to add into the pho broth powder as you're making the broth so really simple very few dress very few ingredients and that's all you need all right so um this is how we're gonna make the broth uh you need one gallon of water this is half a gallon and again uh i always have my water bottle here's the other half one gallon of water i'm gonna throw in one onion two pieces of ginger and this one already pre-opened just because the packaging so you're going to see is this little pouch in here there's actually two pouches so you're gonna use one of them i'll put that aside save that for the next batch drop the pouch you can see some powder in here and just take half you can eyeball it it's good enough and it's about half let's go ahead and stir it around that's only going to take about 15 minutes and once 15 minutes is up take out that little white pouch and pretty much now you're ready to serve and we'll go to uh prepping the noodles next all right guys so first thing here is we're going to portion out the noodles and again there's no such thing as bad foods but only bad quantities and i always emphasize that you should eat according to your goals so according to this right here two ounces will equal 35 grams of carbs if you'd like to know more about how you weigh out all your food or find out what your macronutrients are go ahead and visit my website at billykayfitness.com and i have a complete program for you there so again this is exactly how i go about eating my fur so we're gonna turn the scale on we're going to tear it and i'm gonna eat according to my portion so i'm gonna do a little bit more than two ounces i'm just gonna do three ounces here and i wanna show you how i do it so i don't make them before i make a mess here so sometimes i'll just bring a pair of scissors and i'm not sure if that's the right way to do it but that's how i do it how many ounces we got there it's in grams i'm gonna switch it out four so oh i'm just going to keep three three three ounces so there's one serving so i really want to emphasize that it's really important to eat according to your goals you know understanding how much carbs you can have a day you know carbs aren't bad for you it's just that if we over eat carbs then it becomes bad for you because then that's going to cause some weight gain so again understanding your macronutrients understanding how much you need to eat is absolutely key and now that i have all my noodles ready it makes it very easy for me to come home from work and then just grab it from the grab from the fridge dip in the hot water and then i'm done and ready i don't have to measure it out again all right so next year we're going to weigh out our proteins i'm going to start out with the beef again eat according to your goals for me between four and six ounces roughly close enough now the macronutrients will be listed below in this video so uh if you want to check up on your numbers or look up myfitnesspal it'll all be there all right same thing for the chicken um it all depends on how much you want to eat so i'll just do six ounce portions a lot of you guys uh always ask do you wear your protein before or after it's cooked uh generally i weigh it after just because it tends to be easier but for this recipe i'm just gonna do it before that doesn't really make that big of a difference as long as you stay consistent with one or the other all right guys so here's the last step we're going to um boil the noodles real quick in water it should only take about less than like 30 seconds just want to give it a quick little dip and swatch just so for the noodles to kind of soften up and that should be about it it's about 30 seconds there kind of cook up your beef real quick so that's what i'm going to do it's just real quick kind of just moving around that's it you're done and i didn't include this before but actually you can also add in cilantro green onions and thinly sliced onions totally up to you it's a little bit more effort into doing but it gives that the pho that extra flavor that you're missing there let's go and top it off all right so here's our final product this is the macros are very easy to count just because it's one carb and one protein and feel free to add a little bit of extra sriracha for some spice and traditionally we also add in some hoisin sauce which is primarily a carbohydrate so just make sure to limit yourself you don't want to go all crazy on it but other than that it's a really simple recipe to make i include it in my diet all the time and you saw the meal prep previously there if you have any questions let me know and um that's pretty much it yeah all right guys thanks for
