Best Diet Plan to Get Muscle Definition

Hi

I'm looking for some pointers about daily meal plans for losing fat but building muscle. I'm following a hybrid Chalean Extreme and Insanity plan (with a couple of 5km runs in the week) but I know my diet isn't the best it could be to ensure you can SEE the muscle definition (ie I'm still carrying too much body fat) so although I feel stronger you don't necessarily see it. Does that make sense?

Can anyone give me some ideal meals plans please? Easy if possible as I don't have a huge amount of time for cooking!

I was thinking something along the lines of -

Breakfast - Porridge (made with water)
Lunch - Salad and chicken or tuna mayo
Supper - poached egg and wholemeal toast

Does that sounds right?

Thanks

    Keep protein at .8g per lb of existing lean body mass or more.
    Keep fats around .4-.5g per lb of existing lean body mass.
    Fill the rest of calories with carbs.
    Maintain a calorie deficit.
    Lift heavy weights to encourage your body to hold onto existing muscle.
  • Thanks I think my fat intake is too high will lower that and keep protein high and keep away from carbs no point doing all the hard work and hiding it!

    Huffdogg game solid advice.

    Dont keep away from carbs, especially if youre running 5km races during the week.
