I can't do the calorie bank IIFYM type. I need to punish myself with the same shite everyday and do lower carb and high fats/protein

im same way. i have to be ultra strick to see progress....cause frick man i like to eat and can take down 1500 calories liek it aint nothing.


and keep it simple man. something i learned a long time ago from martin berkham was simple....create 2 meal plans. one for days you lift, one for the one you dont. days you lift, keep the fats lower and carbs higher, on days you dont, fats higher, carbs lower.

no science behind it but allows some variety. so lets say you are on 4 day ppsa, you simple

mon/tues- meal plan 1
wed- meal plan 2
thurs/fri- plan 1

sat/sun- meal plan 2 or fast all day and just eat dinner if going with family.

or you can create 3 meal plans. that away tues/fri are different and not eat same thing 2 days in a row.


like for me, right now im at about 1750-1800 cals

easist thing for me is protein shakes during the day, atleast for breakfast.

so i have the following:

1)fairlife core power 42g shake in the morning

2)lunch is 8oz chicken breast and 1/2 a packet of the little potatoe company microwave potatoes

3) 10oz salmon and 1/2 pack uncle ben microwave jasmine rice nad 1 cup sauteed(no oils) of trinity(onion/GP/celery). i cook rice and sautee with the trinity and put fish on top.

4) post workout- fairlife 25g shake or scoop of protien powder in fair life fat free milk.


my other meals are similar but i rotate out the salmon for 16oz shrimp, whole containter of the potatoes and whole bag of the rice. i drop the protein shakes except one after lifting.

other one is same as meal plan 2 but tuna in place of shrimp and then i add 4 eggs.

you could even do another where you rotate in red meat if you liked or do chicken thighs in place of the salmon.

i try and focus on staying below 1800 cals and hitting 200g protein. after that i dont give a shite how it works out, just something that is filling or fills a craving.
