My Picks For The Healthiest Meals At Fast Food Restaurants

Talon Fitness 2026-04-01 | As much as I advocate for cooking your meals at home as often as possible, and much time as I've put into showing what to do so with, sometimes you're on the road and you need to eat then and there. Fast food is often your best shot at that. And while fast food often gets the reputation of not being the healthiest food out there, I was personally curious as to how good they could actually get. I think for many of these chains, they'll surprise you.

What Went Wrong With The Food Pyramid

Talon Fitness 2024-07-01 | In a world where everyone is looking for the perfect diet - trying to find the balance between nutrition and practicality, it's important to make sure we don't lose sight of another key aspect: individuality.

10 Healthy Foods That Are Often Worse Than You Think

Talon Fitness 2024-06-13 | This is a video I've wanted to make for a while to clear up some of the nuances and places where people can trip up when they don't know exactly what they're looking for. Foods that are generally perceived as nutritious and by most accounts, healthy, that have either been tainted over the years or were worse than you thought to begin with.

Edit: So I mixed up the protein content for eggs in the Dark Chocolate segment. I keep pivoting back and forth between servings and standard 100g sizes so it was bound to happen eventually. Fortunately I was in no way trying to make a practical comparison between the two, it was just showing numbers on screen for context.

Alcohol - The REAL Killers

Talon Fitness 2024-03-17 | It's amazing how similar the beer in the fridge is to the candy in the pantry. At least from a health perspective. Alcohol is the nutrient that everyone forgets is a nutrient. In such a calorie focused world, more people than you would think trade in one pitfall for another. But really, alcohol needs little introduction. It's an adult drink sure, but hopefully with adulthood, you gain something to balance out your ability to drink. The control to know when and when not to do so. Anyway, Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hope I didn't ruin it for you.
