00:00I do feel better, well actually. He's still not happy. I'll be it for real. There's nobody I'm

00:15white. You got somebody uncovered right here. I mean, I don't know what's going on. Yeah,

00:21that's better. What's going on guys? I'm Jalen Hurts. Today I'm going to talk about what my

00:26diet looks like and how that influences my training. I think an excuse people always tell

00:39athletes is you work out a lot, you're always moving around a lot so you can eat whatever you want.

00:45There's some truth in that. I think you have to have some discipline as well. And what I try to

00:49incorporate is a good amount of fish, good amount of steak and chicken and protein, your three bases.

00:55It all varies in what I'm putting into my body throughout the season and where I'm at. I keep

01:01it consistent. In terms of portion and everything, I keep it consistent from practice days to training

01:07days to game days. A day of eating consists of tons of water, one, one to two protein shakes,

01:18a lot of fruits, a lot of turkey in the mornings, a lot of eggs, whether that's scrambled, light,

01:24or over easy. Turkey bacon and maybe a carb or a potato or something or some toast, one of the two.

01:31But I try to keep it light in the mornings and I try to keep it light for lunch. Consistently a salad,

01:38whether it's a Caesar salad or a Cobb type salad. For dinner, it's those proteins, you know, that I'm

01:43talking about. In terms of protein, I keep it very consistent within the big three, fishes, chickens,

01:49and steaks. Pretty open to vegetables. I like to try a lot of different vegetables. And then I do manage

01:56the carbs in the off season, depending on how much running I'm doing. Carbs fill you up. I think as an

02:03athlete, you don't want to walk around feeling too heavy all the time. And so I don't necessarily eat

02:08to get full. No crimp tonight. You find the sugars in your drinks and avoid, you know, the ice creams.

02:16It's tempting at times, but it's self-subscribed. In the office, you know, you spend a lot of time in

02:23there coming up with the game plan and we eat a lot of sunflower seeds. So that's our thing. A nostalgic,

02:29remembering self, my childhood playing baseball and, you know, being in the dugout and stuff. So they've done me

02:35well. I want to say my D-line's coach's wife makes us cookies after wins. He gets them for the D-line

02:42room. Somehow I found myself getting a bag of cookies as well. And we kept winning and he kept

02:47them coming. So sometimes I'll indulge. Sometimes I won't. I don't see it as a cheat. I see it as more

02:55so a reward. Butter pecan ice cream bluebell. It's changed. As I've gone through my career,

03:03I've learned the importance of diet and how it can affect your body and how it responds to certain

03:08things. So whether that's your vibe, what you put in your body, that affects that. I say,

03:13knowing how my body responds to certain things, I think that's the most important thing as an

03:18athlete. You know, I know how my body responds when I eat too many carbs and I know how it responds when

03:24I don't eat any. I think the off-season diet is important because that's the time you're preparing

03:32yourself for the season. In the off-season, I take out carbs out of my diet because carbs is like a big,

03:38you know, supply of energy. I go through these phases where I'm not running as much. And so it's

03:43fuel that I don't need. And so it also keeps me slim as well. And I have better control over my body.

03:50What's hard is the diet or the training? Training. This is where the work is done. Both of them are

03:57training in an element. You have to train yourself to eat the right things if you want the results.

04:01And you also have to train, actually put the work in. You know, foundationally, it changes over time

04:07as you get older because as a kid, I used to be outside playing basketball. And instead of going to

04:13the water holes, I'd sneak inside and go grab a cup of Kool-Aid, you know, and play off of that. So not doing

04:19it as a professional. Favorite family recipe, crawfish. My father got it from my grandfather,

04:25and I now carried it towards. I don't mind telling you it's pretty hard to replicate. You have the

04:31base, your Louisiana seasonings. You can put anything in it. The secret is to make sure they're

04:36clean. My last meal on earth would be crawfish. My comfort food. I say my comfort food is a fresh batch of

04:48chicken. Fried chicken. Fresh out of the grease.

04:52Thanks for watchin'. I hope you learned a little bit about my diet and my training.
