Meal plans

Anybody out there know of a good meal plan that lays out exactly what to eat. Like recipes of exactly how much of everything to eat and what not. It's much easier for me to just fallow a plan than try to count macros and stuff. I'm trying to get toned and have tried a bunch of things like low carbs and intermittent fasting but they make me feel like crap and I'm always hungry. I'm 29 too if that changes anything. I'm just here trying to find the right path.

    You really dont need to count anything other than calories. The issue with meal plans is that without weighing and counting the calories you still don't know how much you're truly eating even if it tells you exactly how much. For instance, it can say "one chicken breast" but that breast could be anywhere from 3-6oz more or less. Plus I'd imagine eating the same thing gets old. Have you tried simply counting calories and eating in a deficit?

    Try eating the foods that you like. Log them. You should definitely use a food scale.

    Have you filled out your profile info to get your recommended calories, etc?
