I'm 6'2, I weigh 175 lb and I'm an athlete recovering from hip surgery.

I know how to cut, but can anyone give me a few meal plan ideas? It's hard coming up with great meals that meet my macro needs. Keep in mind I'm a college student and only have a microwave and limited cafeteria food and places to eat.

THANKS!! <3

    It all depends on what your macro split is. So, my wife and I are both on a 16 week cut and here's an example of a 30-40-30 split for 2100 cal.

    Daily Breakfast/Lunch

    1/2 Cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal (I make it in the microwave)
    3 eggs (can also be made in a microwave)
    1 banana
    1/4 cup of trail mix (snack)
    2 scoop Whey Protein Shake (We use a 30g whey isolate)
    2 tbsp Peanut Butter
    1 Lean Cuisine Meal

    Dinners Vary

    8oz Chicken Breast (Tyson makes precooked grilled you can microwave)
    2 Cups Steamables Broccoli or other green veggie
    2 Cups of Sweet Potato or Russet (Both can be made in a microwave) Butter for lean meat days, no butter for fattier meats
    or
    1 Cup of Brown Rice (Uncle Bens makes a Boil in a Bag)

    OR

    8 oz Tilapia (hard to microwave)
    8 oz NY Strip Steak (Hard to microwave)
    4 oz Pork Chop (hard to microwave)
    6 oz of Skinless Chicken Thighs

    LOL Sorry.. Keep in mind, this is based on our weight 175-180lbs and our activity level. I tried to make it easier for her, because she doesn't train, and I train every day. There are many other factors here, including our refeeds, tracking progress and changing routines to keep facilitating fat loss while minimizing muscle atrophy.

    Hope this helps!

    P.S. I purposely kept the fats on the higher side to keep the endocrine system happy. :)

    I suggest nobody will be able to suggest a meal plan for you because YOU are the one who knows what macros you need to fit into your life.
    YOU are the one that will be putting the food in your mouth and ultimately
    YOU will be the one to prep the food
    YOU figure it out it can become second nature.
    YOU know what foods you like.
    YOU know what you can cook and what you can't cook.

    Unless you specifically pay someone with credentials to make your every meal and give them this information the information given to you here will not help YOU with your goals. Nobody knows YOU like YOU do.

    Do the work, put in the time.
    Your experience will thank you later.
