HEALTHY side
Control your dryness with Meal Preparation
Dive confidently into the world of lean by adopting the meal preparation method, your infallible ally for sculpting your figure and successfully achieving your fitness goals.
As you work hard to achieve your fitness goals, the dry period can be a crucial step in refining your figure and revealing your hard-earned muscles.
To help you get through this phase successfully, we present the "dry meal preparation" method, a targeted approach to optimizing your diet for fat loss while maintaining your muscle mass.
Dry meal preparation relies on a delicate balance between cutting calories and maintaining optimal nutrition to support your performance and recovery. Here's how you can implement this method:
Calculating caloric requirements: Determine your target daily caloric intake for lean based on your weight, height, level of physical activity and specific goals. Be sure to create a moderate caloric deficit to promote fat loss while preserving muscle mass.
Food selection: Focus on foods rich in lean protein, non-starchy vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. Protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass, while vegetables and whole grains provide essential fiber and nutrients to keep you full and energized.
Meal planning: Create a weekly meal plan based on your caloric needs and food preferences. Distribute your macros evenly throughout the day, making sure to include sources of protein, carbohydrates and fats in every meal.
Monitoring and adjustment: Closely monitor your progress throughout the lean period and adjust your meal plan if necessary based on your results. Be patient and persistent, and remember that consistency is the key to success in lean.
Cheers!
