Let's not mess about, meal prep is simple....when you get it right.
Step 1) get a calorie target and macro split for your goal (go online, ask your coach, work it out yourself)
Step 2) put your calories/macros into myfitnesspal (go to goals > calories & macro goals and customise it)
Step 3) put in foods you LIKE, that you could eat every day for a year (within reason) and do not worry about amounts, just make 4-6 little meal EXAMPLES

......I consulted with a potential client who was on the cusp of joining our personal training program.
He needed to lose a lot of weight, was on medication for blood pressure and heart issues.
With huge worries of dying young.... to be honest I agreed with him.
He was at risk.
So we spoke, both got excited and I made a positive plan with him to get moving and DO something about it.
Which we started to do....

Ever had one of those lightbulb moments?
I have them all the time.
not because I'm particularly clever
But usually because I'm doing things so arse-backwards that when I finally see the light it's a big revelation.

Carrying on from yesterday's 'what they don't tell you about fitness' post....
here's a few more things:
1) you will NOT gain muscle from lifting weights

Today I thought I'd share a few 'accepted beliefs' that annoy me in the fitness world, stay with me, you may find the truth hard to handle....
....but after the initial sting, you'll thank me.

1) You'll have to eat MORE than you think.
If you've gained more fat than you'd like it can ONLY happen when the body has been in fat storage mode.
Fat storage mode is caused by undereating.
So eat more often throughout the day, rather than starving yourself then overeating.
