What I ate today on a cut!

2025/1/27 Edited to

... Read moreFor anyone on a cutting diet, meal planning is crucial to ensure you’re consuming enough protein and nutrients while keeping calories in check. Today, my meals included 2 eggs, 2 vegan sausages, and a slice of banana bread, which provided a great balance of carbohydrates and protein. The oat milk honey latte made for a delicious morning boost without dairy. For lunch, I whipped up a protein pasta salad packed with vegetables, which is not only filling but also aids muscle recovery after workouts. Vegetarian sources of protein, like legumes and tofu, can easily be incorporated into meals to maintain muscle while cutting. Try switching your grains for higher protein options, like chickpea pasta or quinoa, to boost your intake without adding too many calories. This method not only supports weight loss but also nourishes your body during active days.
