Nutrition + Training + Supplements= No Dad Bod
Nutrition:
Everyone talks about how hard it is to eat healthy. It is true that you have to be a bit more dedicated to eat healthy, but eating healthy saves me money! I don’t eat out while I’m at work, and I eat great and tasty meals that I prepare for the week. A tool I use is this BMR CALCULATOR. I attempt to eat 300-500 calories less than my BMR when I’m trying to cut weight.
Sample Meal Plan:
1. Sensible breakfast: Banana + Level-1 Protein Shake
2. Snacks: Almonds (unflavored, raw)
3. Lunch Options:
Grilled Chicken Salad
White Beans
Healthy Chili
Turkey Sandwich on whole wheat bread
4. Healthy Dinner:
Lean cut of meat (4-6 oz) + Whole Grain Rice or Sweet Potato + Broccoli/Corn/Cauliflower/Green beans
5. Post workout shake with healthy carbs and protein:
I like to use Ignition and Phormula-1. You can buy it here and receive free shipping and discount.
Training:
Working a 9 to 5 and having a family makes it difficult to find time to train. Here are my solutions…
1. 30 Minute Jog 3 times per week
2. Leg day consisting of 3 sets of squats, 3 sets of leg exentions, 3 sets of hamstring curls, and 3 sets of calves
3. Arms and Shoulders Day (5 sets of shoulder presses, 5 sets of alternating bicep curls, 5 sets of rope triceps extensions)
4. Chest day consisting of 5 sets of bench press, 5 sets of inclined dumbbell bench press + ABS
5. Back day consisting of 5 sets of lat pulldowns and 5 sets of seated cable rows
Supplements:
Supplements are great to help maximize results with proper training and nutrition.
Combining Nutrition + Training + Supplements will help you rid Dad Bod forever! We can win this war against Dad Bod!
