Fitness for Everyone: Personalizing Meal Plan for Men

Goals: Build Lean Muscle to Make your Carnival experience better!

Note: (always consult a Dietitian or doctor before attempting any meal plan)

I call this the "clean gains" meal plan. Yes, this one will probably appeal more to males, which is why the calorie and nutrient ratio is designed for a 180-pounder. This diet works best when you eat every 2 to 3 hours and work out 4 to 5 times a week-but not those sissy 15-to-20-rep-range sessions.

Do you want YOUR body to be muscle mag material?

Here's a note for women: Don't be afraid to try this meal plan! If you've been working out for a while, doing mostly cardio, don't you think it's time to push your physique to the next level? The hottest bodies out there weren't crafted on the treadmill but sculpted with iron through weight training. You won't get bulky on a meal plan like this. Granted, you probably won't lose fat, but you'll be able to fuel hardcore workouts and chisel out a toned, shapely physique.

As before, if you weigh more or less than 180 pounds, tailor the calories and nutrients to fit your specific needs. But remember, this meal plan is meant to be slightly more than you need so that your muscles can take that fuel, rebuild, and grow.
