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

So I got a confession to make....
I've started training hard (6 days per week) for muscle gain.
And the other day I found myself panicking about not being muscular enough.
Or more specifically, not gaining muscle FAST enough.
A lot of my clients have the same thoughts when it comes to fat loss....
Why can't this happen FASTER arghh??!!!
Anyway, fortunately I did two things to stop myself stressing and to stay focused.

3 IMPORTANT BENEFITS OF STRENGTH TRAINING
Ryan started our personal training program a few months ago....
....and he crushed 3 of our strength records in his first 12 weeks!
Just so you grasp the gravity of what I'm saying - these are records set over the past 7 years by hundreds of men and women!

....what if you can't see what you could become?
You will never achieve what you can't see and feel in your mind.
Going a step further, even if you've seen others achieve your goal and you know the path is there, you'll give up if you can't see the path and don't get guidance.
For example:
Imagine a client coming to me and saying they'd only like to lose 1 stone, or 'tone up' before their holiday.
Ok, but when I can see strength, muscle, endurance, reduced stress, a happier life AND 3-4 stone lost so they actually have a flat stomach and abs....

Dieting but GAINED weight? Here's what to do…
First of all, relax, it's quite normal for this to happen in a number of situations.
And remember that gaining weight and gaining fat are two very different things. Mi
I feel this is a really important thing to discuss because you may be on track for great results, you may be training and dieting spot on…. then you gain weight and give up!
So let's look at a few scenarios.

I wrote some goals out this morning..
...and I was surprised at how far away they seemed.
First goal: gain 5kg of muscle - gaining 0.5kg (or 1lb) of muscle each month this is 10 months away presuming epic commitment to diet and training, no holidays etc.
Second goal: gain 10kg of muscle - that's at least 2 years away.
For you, let's make some quick goals now...
SET A TARGET: If you want to gain muscle, how much do you want?
BE REALISTIC: Gain a pound or half a kilo a month...
TIMEFRAME: How many months away is your goal?
Or maybe you want fat loss...
SET A TARGET: If you want to lose weight, how much do you wanna lose?

Think about this....
....everything you are experiencing right now IS a result.
Not happy with your belly?

SOMETHING has caused these things to happen.

......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....

every year I CONVINCE myself that I'm 'not in too bad of a shape'
I'm confident about my body and always have been
But as those calendar days get crossed off...
....as my holiday gets closer and closer....
I start to doubt myself.
I look in the mirror and start pinching and grabbing my belly fat and love handles
I take 'before' pictures and set out a ridiculously low calorie diet for myself
I promise myself that 'just 4 weeks' of no cheat meals is doable
I commit to training 5 days a week for 4 weeks
and at the end of 4 weeks, you know what happens?
