Abs are made in the kitchen! MEAL PREP!

Endless crunches and sit ups will never make those abs pop like a well balanced diet. A key to success is having meals prepared for the week and tracking everything you're putting into your body!
This is a typical meal prep for a client of mine and his progress
Edit: the main point of this post is preparing your meals ahead of time so you don't eat your entire kitchen when you're hungry and have nothing prepared-- your meals don't have to look like this! This type of meal plan is what works for one person. To each their own!

Ummmm...OK?

I'm still going to say 'meh'. Agree with the general wisdom of "abs being made in the kitchen". But I'd get bored awfully quickly eating the same bland food day after day after day.-1 -
DAMN, and I was proud of my dinky 6 servings of weighed & portioned pasta salad last night.
Nice turtle! 0 -
What's with the turtle0

How long is your table? The fact that your slices of bread appear as large as your boyfriend's torso is throwing me off.0

Can you come to my house and do this for me please?

It's not for everyone, but if you have strong fitness goals, I find all my clients don't mind eating the same thing for a few days. You can always use different seasonings and condiments to change the flavors as well, but again-- meal prepping isn't for everyone.0 -

Wait...so you're saying having strong fitness goals and not eating the same bland pre-prepped meals day after day are mutually exclusive?0 -

Goodness that looks dull. I prefer fresh and to cook a bit of what I fancy on the day. Not everyone has the time or freedom to do so, so good on you for your lifestyle.0

I have strong fitness goals

Sorry you must be lying. According to OP that's not possible.0 -
To each their own. I definitely admire the dedication and can see how this would be a smart plan for someone without the wherewithal to create a variety of meals daily. I would go insane though.0
-
I would lose my mind by eating the exact same thing every day. These are the types of things I eat, but I gotta have variety.0
-
Me too. And there's kind of way too much bread and too many eggs there for me! I guess the actual meals probably aren't meant to be indicative of how we should eat though-- just the planning. (Not that we all need this kind of plan...)ceoverturf wrote: »Ummmm...OK?

You mean, the turtle is part of the food. Turtle soup, yo. Probably the most interesting food item on that table. lol
Look, I get the whole meal prep and everything, I do. But that looks suuuuuuuper boring. Where's the color? Where's the variety? Variety is the spice of life! Everything in that picture, except the green beans is white/brown. That's boring. I want my food to be a plethora of colors and flavors.0 -
Pre-made sandwiches?
Can anyone say soggyyyyyyy?0 -

I never said it wasn't possible. You do what works for you. Everyone's different. This is just what works for this particular client and his preferences.
