It doesn’t matter how much time you spend in the gym or how much cardio you do… if your diet isn’t properly structured, you aren’t going to see any real progress at all.

Before you begin, make sure to check out these important guidelines first…
1) The number of meals you consume each day is a matter of personal preference. Although this plan is based on 6 meals per day, you can combine them into fewer meals if you prefer.
2) Check out the nutritional database on calorieking.com if you want to subtitute in different food items. The calorie content for each food item is listed in the plan below, so swapping foods in and out is fairly simple.
3) If you want to use the meal plan for a workout day, just insert your training session anywhere into the plan where it fits your schedule.
