Daily Eating Guide: Dinner + Snacks
Dinner
Have portions of different foods to make a complete meal.
Meat: First remove skin and cut off the fat, then try to grill your meats if you can to remove any remaining fat. Go for chicken breasts, turkey, salmon, seabass, halibut, shrimp, venison, top sirlion, beef tenderloin, lean ground turkey, lean ground beef and lamb. With these meats alone there are endless possibilites of meal ideas. Use some dried herbs like basil, oregano, thyme or whatever you like.
Have sides like salads, veggies, brown rice, corn, and baked potato.
If you stick with these type of ingredients you will be good.
Snacks
The rule I stick by is eat every 3 hours. It sounds like you are eating a lot but what you are really doing is keeping your metabolism running, burning fat and gaining muscle. It’s a good idea not to eat within 2 hours of bedtime but for some of you guys that are trying to get bigger and gain muscle it’s alright to have cottage cheese (loaded with casein protien) and/or a protien shake before bed. Take some of these snacks along with you to work or school:
-natural yogurt, trail mix, granola bars, protein bars, fruits (also dried fruits, canned fruit), veggies (baby carrots, celery, brocoli, peppers) almonds, healthy bagel, pita, dips, natural peanut butter,
Just a healthy, high-protein snack suggestion for those who may be interested.
2 cups crunchy peanut butter
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
2 extra ripe bananas
2 tbsp flaxseed
Mix all the ingredients with a fork in a large bowl. Mold the mixture into walnut-size balls and place them in a container lined with parchment to separate the layers. Refrigerate or freeze for at least 2 hours before serving or transferring to individual ziplock bags for a grab-and-go snack.
Enjoy!
