The founder of Joe X Fitness went from 215 pounds to 165 pounds in less than a year by tracking his calories and lifting weights at the gym.

In a recent video, Chu described the three low-calorie foods that keep him feeling “full,” starting with homemade egg rolls

“If I eat twelve of these egg rolls, I end up with less than 700 calories, but I feel like I just ate over 1,200 calories,” he said

“I’m in an 800 calorie deficit and I’m always hungry,” he admitted.

Chu’s first recommendation was homemade spring rolls, which he makes with rice paper, vegetables and shrimp, beef or chicken for a high-protein treat.

“When I say you should eat egg rolls, I mean it,” he said, emphasizing that they are “by far the most filling thing” on his list.

“If I eat twelve of these egg rolls, I end up with less than 700 calories, but I feel like I just ate over 1,200 calories,” he explained. “So you basically get as much of it as a huge Chipotle burrito.”

Next on Chu’s list was potatoes, because they are both versatile and filling.

“If you always eat rice with your meat, switch to potatoes,” he advised. “I know it’s a crazy thing to say as a Korean, but trust me. They are quite low in calories and really filling.

“The best part is that you can turn it into things you wouldn’t normally eat while dieting, like loaded fries, while still hitting your calorie goal,” he added.

Chu ended his list with rice cakes, which serve as the base for his favorite high-protein, low-calorie dessert.

Chu demonstrated how he uses maple syrup to sweeten Greek yogurt before spreading it over three caramel or apple cinnamon rice cakes and adding frozen berries

It’s the “sweet, sour, low-calorie treat I never knew I needed,” he said

“Everyone hates it, but try this recipe I made recently,” he said.

He then topped off the dessert with frozen berries, saying it was the “sweet, tart, low-calorie treat (he) never knew he needed.”

“Just look at how much you get,” he concluded.

Chu’s video has been viewed more than 2.3 million times and received hundreds of comments since it was posted on October 20.

“Bro this makes me less stressed,” one fan commented. “I was tired of my food and about to give up.”

“Rice cakes are so goat,” someone else added. “I could eat (an) entire sleeve in one sitting.”

‘I make spring rolls every week. I get full from 3-4 lol,” another shared.

Others were confused by Chu’s calorie deficit and thought he was only eating 800 calories a day.

The fitness guru clarified that he eats 2,000 calories a day, which is 800 calories less than what he eats to maintain his weight.
