Diet for Strength

Then a big glass of milk.

Seriously, you need calories. Lots of them. Even adding a twist of lime to your water doesn’t cut it.

Food. All of it.

That’s what I like to hear.

My Approach would be to;

Aim for around 150 grams of protein a day. Over 3 meals, that’s 40 -50 grams of protein per meal. So at least 6 eggs and a glass of milk at breakfast. Then just double up that volume with vegetables and fruit.

At lunch time, double your deer patties. Half a pound of meat, or a piece the size of your hand is around 40-50 grams. More veggies.

Same for dinner.

If that’s too much to eat in 3 meals, cut those numbers back a little and add a snack to make up the difference. You can get something portable, like boiled eggs, protein bars, or trail mix with Greek yogurt to make sure you never go too long without eating. Your veggie juice is an easy way to get some vegetables away from home. The easier you can make it, the more likely you are to stick to it.

Some other approaches are
-drinking a gallon of milk a day
-eat 8 tuna fish sandwiches a day
-drink a daily Get Big protein shake
-eat 12 eggs a day

I like the , total protein divided by number or meals, flexible way. But some people do well the “daily challenge” style.

One thing I will suggest is to get yourself a crockpot if you don’t have one. I usually throw 5+ chicken breasts in plus veggies and that’s my lunch for the week. It’s pretty cost effect and you can do basically anything.

I also have a dehydrator and make my own Jerky. You just buy a relatively cheaper piece of meat, dehydrate it, and you’ve got a mobile snack high in protein. It’s way cheaper than buying it at the store. Great for school or work depending on what you do.
