I used this meal plan in combination with a five day weight training and cardio plan while getting ready for the FLEX model search. I think this meal plan is great for everyday living.
Right now I am preparing for a Figure Show in August and my diet is being monitored and prepared by www.azprophysiques.com. When I am not preparing for anything specific I would follow the diet below.
A few important things to remember:
Make sure to never eat a carbohydrate alone –add a source of proteinwith your carbohydrate
***So never eat fruit, rice, pasta, crackers, cookies, chips… without some type of protein. I posted a shopping list under my blog tab which has a list of protein sources.
So many people will have granola, fruit and yogurt mixed together… this equals carb carb carb
Drink plenty of water
If you skip meals make sure your next meal is extra healthy – your body is ready to attack and store the food you introduce so make sure it is healthy.
If you know you have plans on the weekend involving good food it would be best to eat clean during the week so you can enjoy your weekend.
