Help with a meal plan? - Wednesday, May 09, 2007 6:57 PM
 Well I've been working out for a few weeks now, and I've saved up for my own fridge (I live with my parents).  Come Friday I'm going to buy my fridge, and food to put in it.  Can anyone recommend anything to buy?  Money isn't really a problem because this girl I've been getting with works at the food store I go to and gives me her 45% discount.

EDIT:  I burn 2130 calories a day, so I need to eat about 1600-1700 a day.

What kind of food do you like to eat?
Do you cook?

It all depends on if your ok to cook and prepare your meals in advance.
 
Lean Proteins: Chicken breat, lean cuts of mea, fish
Complex Carbs: Dark green vegetables etc.
 
Oh should I also add not to stock your new fridge with High Malt beer and fried goodies?

 I can cook anything for the most part, cooking isn't too hard, and taste doesn't matter to me, I can man it down.

What I first did was to cook in bulk as it was easy and portioning was less painful.
 
I would buy 2-3 Kg of veggies (sometimes frozen ones) and 1-2 Kg of meat (Chicken breast of lean red meat).
 
Id then cook it all together, working out macronutrients as I did and divided the cooked product into 12 small resealabe plastic tubs.
 
Basically, I had 4 days worth of 3 meals that way and every day Id take 3 tubs with me to work and eat one every 3 hours. Breakfast and pre/post workout nutrition made up the rest of the meals for the day. This was I was only cooking big 2-3 times a week and could relax the rest of the time so cooking was never a Pain in the A.
 
Was very convenient when I worked an office job. Not so much now. But I regret not being able to do it now as it was the best way to ensure I was eating right as each serving was exact in Protein/Carb/Fat mix and I got my best muscle gain and fat loss doing this.
