What I eat to get lean & shredded 🍴

These meals can appear to be super boring 😂 but the body fat is dropping and the muscles are popping… here’s how I’m doing it:

🎇Always building my meals from protein 🥩

🎇Choosing healthy fats for my meals 🥑

🎇Using carbs as fuel (pre) & replenishing (post)

🎇Not ridding of salt for healthy contractions 💪🏾

🎇Water, water, water, water 💦🚰

... Read moreEating lean and shredded doesn't have to be boring! It's all about balancing your macronutrients to fuel your workouts and recovery. For effective fat loss, consider incorporating a variety of protein sources such as chicken breast, shrimp, and ground beef. Eggs and egg whites are excellent protein sources that can be prepared in multiple ways. Including healthy fats like avocado and olive oil can help enhance flavors and keep you satiated. Remember, carbs are not the enemy; in fact, they serve as energy for your workouts. Opt for whole food sources like basmati rice and limit processed carbs to maintain your calorie deficit. Stay hydrated with plenty of water, which is essential for muscle contractions and overall health. Monitoring your salt intake can also aid in muscle function, but don't omit it entirely as it's crucial for your performance. Make your meals enjoyable with a mix of spices and healthy preparations!

Want a shredded back? 😏
Me too! Just something about those back muscles…sheesh! I love to warm up with pull ups, both wide and closed grip. That alone will have your back on fire 🔥. Remember to lift a good enough weight to still be able to contract those muscles. Mind to muscle connection 💪🏻 #backworkout #backmuscles
