Muscle Gut Ok, so you know that you need to eat a lot to maintain all that muscle, but then it creates a problem. If you don't eat, your abs start to get more defined, but then your arms & chest get smaller. "What the @#!@%?!?" you say. Don't worry. You can have mucho muscles without the gut. It's all about portion control. Instead of eating 4 large meals a day with mucho protein & mucho carbs, let's switch up your carb/protein/fat ratio & have smaller meals. Check out our meal plan ideas which we generalize for everyone. This includes eating 6x a day. Since you have more muscle than most, I would recommend up to 300g of protein per day & actually eating 8x a day! WorkoutWe know, we know.. you want big pecs & buff arms. But we still need to work out those legs. The more you workout your thighs & glutes, the more weight gain you'll see. There are a number of programs we could recommend, but stay with this theme:
Meal Plan7am: 1 piece of whole wheat toast & 1/2 avocado & 5 egg whites9am: Large Protein shake mixed in skim milk with Flax oil 9:45am: Workout 11:am: Old-Fashioned Oats, walnuts, raisins, calcium caseinate powder all blended & heated 12:30pm: Brown Rice, 6oz Chicken, Baby Spinach, oranges, & toasted almonds with olive oil & lemon as dressing 3pm: Large Protein shake mixed in skim milk with Flax oil 5:30pm: 6oz Salmon, 1 cup Broccoli, 1 cup black beans 8:00pm: 6oz Tuna, 1 piece whole wheat bread, 1 tablespoon greek yogurt, 1 tomato slice, 1/4 avocado 10:00pm: Cottage Cheese, 1 scoop protein mix, 1 tablespoon almond butter, fresh pineapple pieces "So that is 9 meals!?!?!? But trust me, you'll look a lot more cut, have more energy, and it will make it easier to gain muscle." ~Matt |
