Goals (fit + sustainable)
- Build muscle, lose fat slowly, and keep energy high.
- Hit protein daily, eat mostly whole foods, and stay consistent (not perfect).
Simple daily targets (use whichever fits you)
- Protein: 0.7–1.0 g per lb bodyweight (1.6–2.2 g/kg)
- Calories:
- If you want to lean out: aim for a small deficit (−200 to −400/day).
- If you want to build muscle as a beginner: maintenance to slight surplus (+100 to +250/day).
- Fiber: 25–40 g/day
- Water: 2–4 L/day (more if you sweat a lot)
Your core meal blueprint (what I usually eat)
Use this as the base and adjust portions up/down depending on goals.
1) Breakfast (My yogurt bowl)
Option A (your usual):
- Greek yogurt (0%–2% or full-fat)
- Honey (small drizzle)
- Mixed nuts
- Fruit (banana, strawberries, blackberries, etc.)
- 2–3 rice cakes
How to dial it for goals
- More fat loss: choose lower-fat Greek yogurt, reduce honey/nuts slightly, keep fruit.
