I’ll be the first to say
it, I did not reinvent
the wheel with these
recipes. Although, you
will find nutrient
dense, tasty meals that
allow for a sustainable
way of eating.

I have tried every “fad” diet out there. It’s easy


to get overwhelmed with all the information
online when it comes to nutrition. I’ve seen
that if you stick to 3 key things, it makes this
whole process simple.

1. Prepping. Having your food prepared saves


time and eliminates the excuse that you did
not have time to cook. Pro-tip, freeze the
meals after making them. They stay fresh for
months.
2. Tracking calories. Eating in a caloric surplus,
or deficit depending on your goals is the
simplest way to see progress in the least
amount of time.
3. Protein goal. Hitting 1g of protein per lb. of
lean body mass will ensure you build quality
muscle, retain your muscle while cutting fat,
and gives your body the necessary resources
to repair muscle fibers.
