- So I just finished up leg training.
Gotta get some food in me.
One of my number one places to go after I finish training,
Dong Huong Pho, number one pho in town.
Try the Dong Huong platter.
You'll be satisfied for a long time.
You'll love it.

I see how it is.
The guy just asked me how much I benched.
Yeah, that's the number one question people randomly ask me.
"How much do you bench?"
- [Cameraman] What'd you say?
- I said, "I don't know."
I said, "Last time I tried 405,
"I tore him my pec a little bit.
"And that's the heaviest I've gone since."
So I honestly don't know.
(air whooshes)
Can I please get a Don Huong platter and a green tea boba?
Comes with four different meats.
You got shrimp, chicken, pork, and beef.
You basically roll up this rice noodle wrap
with all the ingredients inside.
I'm gonna eat like 10 of 'em.
(smooth blues music)
You know, I get real frustrated when I go to someplace,
and I basically get underfed and overcharged.
So I found a few places in town
where I'm not afraid to spend a little bit of money
just to get a little extra food,
but this is one of those places.
I'll be full, full, full by the time I'm done.
(smooth blues music)
It's a boba tea.
So they have these big tapioca pearls at the bottom of 'em.
And tapioca is actually a really good carbohydrate source.
It's low glycemic index, starchy carb.
And it's basically like a green tea smoothie on top of that.
But they're super good.
These are the herbs.
We have some basil, cilantro.
She does this trick where she wraps the lettuce
within the wrap,
which is pretty nice. - Yeah, I like that.
(smooth blues music)
- It's where it's at.
Here, let me show you the procedure here.
(smooth blues music)
Little bit of fish sauce, and we're golden here.
Now, this is where everybody goes wrong.
You gotta get in here, fold up the end of it.
Little overlap.
You gotta kinda go over the top with this
and suck it all in, make it tight.
- Oh, wow. - Mm-hm, just like that.
- [Cameraman] Show us real quick.
(camera lens clicks)
(smooth blues music)
- I remember when I was like five years old
reading food labels, seeing what was on there.
So I personally just have a really good eye for macros.
I know what all this stuff is made out of.
I've got a good guesstimation
of where my calorie content is.
You know, when you go to restaurants,
it's not that hard to order smart.
Just, if you go for leaner protein options, once again,
depending on what you're doing.
Me, I'm bulking,
so I'm probably gonna eat these today. (chuckles)
But I would say just have a good idea what,
learning what macros are in food
and the breakdown of everything
is the best way to really have a good understanding.
But outside of that,
I would say it's just safe to order lean.

The plan on this prep is Sunday's kind of a re-feed day.
Bring it up a little bit Saturday night.
Bring it up all day Sunday.
Have a good meal Monday morning,
then drop right back down into the hole,
then cut all week long.
This is a good story.
And it's something that has changed my mind forever.
I remember one day I was at work at Armbrust and in prep.
And I walk by Dylan Armbrust's office,
and he knows I was hurting.
He knows it was one of my low calorie days,
and I was getting closer to show.
So he's like, "How you feeling, D?"
I'm like, "I feel like shit."
And I kinda keep walking.
Then he goes, "All right, that's good!"
(laughs) I'm like, "What do you mean 'that's good'?"
I backed up.
I stopped in my tracks, backed up.
"What do you mean 'that's good'?"
He goes, "Well, you know, if you feel like that,
"you're doing everything that you're supposed
"to be doing to get towards your goal."
He was absolutely right about that.
That's the first time I associated a positive,
with me moving towards my goal,
with a negative, being how I felt with the pain of prep.
So that's kinda one mental trick that
has worked for me ever since I've heard it,
and has kinda changed my perception
on how to approach the diet strategy.

Well, now you got a good idea
of what I would eat at a restaurant.
I'm Dorian Haywood.
