| Here is a sample diet to please to the masses. This one provides approximately 2300-2400 calories, 45% carbs, 35% protein, and 20% fat. Try it out and see if it works for you. |
I've written articles on the science behind weight loss, supplements, training, etc. But one of the most frequent questions I get is to create diets for folks - they don't want to put any thought into the how and why of fat loss, they just want a diet.
So, here's a sample diet to please to the masses. This one provides approximately 2300-2400 calories, 45% carbs, 35% protein, and 20% fat (I know all the math may not be exact, so don't send me hate mail unless something is way off). Another 7 days will be posted next week.
