=== Greek Salad of the Gods (04:46) ===

[00:00:53]  Extremely massive is what I am.
[00:00:58]  I haven't spent my narcissism points for this month, so I thought to make a Gains Kitchen where I talk about how great I am.
[00:01:06]  But worry not, I will also talk about a Greek recipe.
[00:01:09]  So, this is a Greek salad, and I thought to call it the Greek salad of the gods.
[00:01:16]  I thought it would be a fun thing to do.
[00:01:18]  So, basically, as you just saw, I just came back from the gym.
[00:01:23]  I dedicate all my sessions to Thor except for when I hit the push press and any shoulder exercise.
[00:01:31]  Those sessions I dedicate to Atlas.
[00:01:34]  It's optimal for hypertrophy.
[00:01:36]  So, basically, what I want to show you now is a salad.
[00:01:40]  You can eat primarily in the summer, of course, because you know, if you are cutting, you're trying to get a bit leaner, so you can post physique, so you can mug journalists, etc.
[00:01:51]  So, it's good.
[00:01:52]  So, basically, what a salad is good for is you know, you want to eat something nice without adding so many calories to your diet.
[00:02:02]  Then, of course, you can tweak the ingredients depending on if you're bulking or not.
[00:02:06]  It can be nice to eat a salad in the summer, even if you're bulking.
[00:02:10]  But for anyone who's trying to lose weight, this can be a good recipe if you want to eat something, get some volume into your belly so you feel a bit more satiated without skyrocketing the calories.
[00:02:22]  So, that being said, let me show you the ingredients.
[00:02:27]  First and foremost, we have the sacred feta cheese.
[00:02:32]  Absolutely love feta cheese, it's one of my favorite juices, great in any salad.
[00:02:37]  Of course, this is one of these things that the higher your caloric expenditure over the day is, the more you can have.
[00:02:47]  So, I have still, even if I'm cutting, I still want to get in quite a bit of calories, you know, because I have a lot to expend.
[00:02:55]  23% of fat in it, so be mindful of it.
[00:03:00]  But, you know, it is greatly divine in its taste, so it's worth every calories.
[00:03:06]  So, it's worth all the calories, in my humble opinion.
[00:03:12]  Then, a cucumber, we have a red onion, we have some Greek calamata olives, and of course, any olive will do, but this is especially suitable for a Greek salad.
[00:03:27]  So, yeah, classic Greek olives, right?
[00:03:31]  There, then, some good old tomatoes as well, some more onion, salad onion, then some salt and some oregano.
[00:03:48]  Then, last but not least, some good old olive oil.
[00:03:54]  It's actually Spanish because I'm a great fan of the Spanish kitchen, but if you want to make it a super Greek salad, you can of course have the olive oil from Greece, but you know, it doesn't matter overly much.
[00:04:06]  And this is one of these things that, you know, the higher your caloric expenditure, the more olive oil you can have.
[00:04:13]  If you're cutting, if you have less calories to spend, you can use less olive oil.
[00:04:21]  So basically, those are the ingredients.
[00:04:24]  Very simple, straightforward.
[00:04:26]  I'll just cut them in to a bowl stir it around and I will show you when it is done Behold This is aesthetic and tasty if anything
[00:04:56]  I'll try to get a cool thumbnail for the video here where I am both flexing so I look huge and juicy and this will also need to look absolutely delicious, which I'm sure it is.
[00:05:16]  It's a good thumbnail.
[00:05:18]  So anyway, you can eat this as it is or you can eat it to a larger meal.
[00:05:24]  If you do eat it as it is and you have a high need for protein, you can of course take a protein shake of whey with it so you get some protein into this particular meal because it's mostly fats as it is right now.

=== True Friends in America (02:33) ===

[00:05:39]  Speaking of which, I want to announce to all German true friends and all Austrian and Swiss true friends that Utaname Nutrition is coming to Germany later during the summer.
[00:05:52]  I am absolutely pumped for this and you know it's a great step in the right direction.
[00:05:58]  I do also want to aim a question to all American true friends.
[00:06:02]  If you do know an ethical producer of whey in America, please let me know.
[00:06:09]  It's a bit trickier for me to get into the American market.
[00:06:14]  I do want to sell supplements in America and I also want to do it in a good way.
[00:06:19]  So I have a lot of Americans asking me what is a good brand of whey that I can use for myself without it being you know contaminated with various metals etc and you of course don't want to buy whey from a farm that mistreats its animals.
[00:06:39]  The good thing with Utah name as it is right now is that I know full well where the whey comes from because I've grown up in the countryside.
[00:06:45]  I see cows basically every day just going out in the countryside.
[00:06:50]  So when I sell to Germany and the neighboring countries as well I know it's Swedish whey that comes from Swedish cows.
[00:06:58]  I know how they are treated.
[00:07:00]  I know the quality of it.
[00:07:01]  So I know full well every the ins and outs of the production and you know I can always go down to the factory check in which I do sometimes checking in on the production because I know because I want to have you know a good understanding of what's going on.
[00:07:15]  I want to be able to do the same thing in America.
[00:07:18]  I don't just want to you know team up with someone who produces whey and get a bad product out there.
[00:07:24]  After all it's my name I'm putting on the product so it needs to be top notch.
[00:07:28]  It also needs to be ethically produced.
[00:07:31]  I hate mistreatment of animals.
[00:07:33]  I hate mistreatment of cows in particular because it's a sacred animal for me since dairy products have been a large part of creating this magnificent physique you see here.
[00:07:44]  So if you are in America and you know anyone who can help me with this, I would be most appreciative if you can do it.
[00:07:51]  And for all German guys, stay tuned.
[00:07:53]  You can also follow me on YouTube Name Nutrition's Instagram linked below.
[00:07:58]  I don't only post about supplement, I also post about mythology, both Nordic and European mythology.
[00:08:05]  So that is what is up.
[00:08:07]  But anyway, I will eat this fine salad now and I will see you in the next video.
[00:08:12]  Thank you for watching.
