If you’ve studied hard to understand how to improve your body you already know that losing weight, gaining muscle or getting healthier is first, 80% what you eat… and second, only 20% working out.

Everyone WISHES they could just throw enough effort at working out for 20 minutes or an hour and that would magically make them slim… or muscular… or toned… or… healthy or, well… hot 😉

However the unfortunate reality is that losing weight or gaining muscle takes much more will power than 20 minutes or an hour; and a much longer plan towards what you eat for health.

In addition to watching what you eat, you’ll most likely have to both weigh what you eat and tally the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat) if you’re to eat well enough to have an effect on your health, weight loss or muscle gain.

All of which… takes extra effort and time.

Which is why most people, seeking to lose weight or gain muscle resort to eating the same or similar healthy meals that they’ve premeasured to know the exact calorie content to simplify their diet. The fact is, it’s just a challenge formulating a diet plan for weight loss or muscle gain.
