Meal plan

You will need to find out what recipes you will need to achieve your desired goals. I highly recommend "Anabolic Cooking" by Dave Ruel for muscle building menus and recipes. It has great tasting recipes that are a snap to make. You also get meal plans for 1,200 calories, and up to 4,000 calorie menus. These recipes are structured for muscle building. You can read my personal review of this book at:

Dave Ruel Anabolic Cooking Review

You can also use some of the menus that are outlined in the recipes section of Building Muscle101. See these pages here:

Just remember to adjust the ingredients and nutritional content to match that of your desired nutritional percentages in your nutritional program. When you are planning your diet, I strongly suggest you plan your meals in advance. By planning your meals in advance, you have no excuse to go to the restaurant.

Break your meals down into breakfast, mid morning, lunch, mid afternoon, post workout and dinner. Remember to pack your meals in convenient containers and take them to work with you.

Cooler bags are perfect for this. Plan Ahead!
