A Dietian Picks Protein Bars

 - You know, you and I are BFFs because of our peptide bond. That's a protein joke. Hi, I'm Tracy Lockwood Beckerman. I'm a registered dietitian in New York City, and it's my job to help you figure out what to eat and why. Protein bars are a staple in on-the-go snacking and workout recovery. Inherently, they seem healthy, but how do you know if you're just eating a glorified candy bar? Today I'm giving you the rundown on what to look for in protein bars as well as Tracy-approved picks. Pay attention to how many servings are in each bar. It usually is one, but always read the label to check. If your bar is going to be a snack, choose one that has at least 30 grams of carbohydrates and more than seven grams of protein, and five grams of fiber. If this is a meal, you should choose one with more protein and carbohydrates to keep you fuller longer. Don't choose a bar that's high in fiber just for the sake of it. High-fiber products can cause GI issues such as...

Also stay tuned to the end of the video to get tips on how to make the healthiest cup of tea possible.

The basics of kitchen tools

 Cooking is harder than ordering takeout, or microwaving a frozen entree, or having your parents cook for you. It takes a financial investment, lots of practice, time, and patience. Why do it? Well, first off, and this is gonna sound simple-minded but stick with me: cooking is attractive. Like playing guitar, it demonstrates your prowess with your hands, your sophisticated knowledge of an art form and is a demonstrable value to look for in a partner. But it goes deeper than that. Cooking is a shared experience, a way to express yourself to someone you care about. That someone could even be yourself. Cooking is a physically and mentally healthy outlet and hobby. Just like learning guitar, you're not going to be a rockstar right out of the gate; you need to learn the how and why of what makes a great meal, why one flavor works when another fails, why food behaves the way it does. The basics. Welcome to Basics With Babish, a new series designed to help grow your confidence in the kitc...

20 Best comfort foods across the globe

 Herrine Ro: In these stressful and uncertain times of quarantine, people from all over the world are seeking comfort in food. Comfort food can fix any bad day. It's typically high in sugar, fat, and/or salt. And the beauty of comfort food is that it varies from person to person. It's rooted in where you're from and who you grew up with. We asked 20 people from different cultural backgrounds to share what comfort food is to them. I'll start with mine. My favorite comfort food is kimchi jjigae, or kimchi stew. I'm Korean American, and, growing, up my mom made kimchi jjigae pretty often for dinner. My mom's kimchi jjigae has that son-mat. Son-mat in Korean means, like, hand taste. The best way I can describe it is my mom's special touch. Even if I try to make my mom's kimchi jjigae here in New York City, I can't get that taste because it lacks my mom's special touch. So, basically, the flavors that you're getting are, like, spicy, salty, fatty,...
