Hey guys, it's Jeff from ATHLEAN-X back here in the kitchen again for the second part of
our series "How to eat to gain more muscle" and we're gonna deal with lunch.
Now I'm not forgetting the snacks that you're gonna have in the mid-morning and afternoon.
We're gonna deal with snacks later on in the series, but for now let's put our attention
to lunch and specifically what I like to eat and some other options that you like to eat,
that are simple, a little bit creative and that are not gonna taste so bad.
Basically...I know it looks like we have a lot of stuff here on the counter and, like
I said last time, if you buy this stuff in whole, it becomes very very easy to do your
job in preparing your lunch.
It becomes very easy to make sure you always have this stuff on hand and ready to go.
So I wanna start at this end over here.
One of my main things that I like to eat is grilled chicken, kind of like chicken sandwich.
Stay away from the deli meats, guys.
They're loaded with salts...you'll see they'll come in a big bawl.
When was the last time you saw a turkey that was actually in the shape of a bawl?
This stuff is actually processed and thrown together, not good for you.
Stick to the real stuff, stick to the chicken breasts.
I've got a big bag here...a 10 pound bag, again you can buy it at BJ's, Costco, Wholesale...
Take out a lasagna pan, a big pan to hold these, take about 8 or so...whatever you use
for lunches or dinners and we'll talk about using the same things for dinner.
But for your week, you shouldn't have to worry about cooking every single day.
Let's take enough so it will last us for a week, so it'll be a lot more convenient.
You throw those in here, one can of tomatoes...it's real simple guys.
All you have to know is how to open it with a can opener.
Put in here a little onion, some garlic.
Now spices...there's some dry mushrooms, pasta sprinkler...so this right here, sandwich sprinkler.
They make these spices grouped together just for the guys like us that don't really know
what to do in the kitchen.
We can just put them in here, we know we're getting a blended mix...it has oregano, it
has basil, it has everything in one shot.
Put that in here into the oven on 4:25 for just an hour.
That's it!
Let it stay uncovered.
Now this will be done...use this throughout the day.
For lunch, I'll take this, I'll put some whole wheat bread, a little lettuce, tomato, some
salsa and that's it.
It's a great sandwich, you can even toast the bread up to get a little texture change.
But it's really good, that's what I have all the time, when I have the time to do that.
I love it, I take it on the go, I eat it in the car.
Some other options you have here...tuna.
I used to kid around with my wife, but I used to eat this from the can in college.
It was sort of what I survived on, but we can make it taste better now.
We can do a better job simply by having some other things to mix it with.
If you're gonna go on the mayo route, as in making a tuna salad sandwich, stick with the
light mayo or the non-fat mayo.
It's just gonna save you a lot of calories, a lot of unnecessary fat.
You can switch it up, you can use some salmon instead of using the actual tuna instead.
You can put it on with some sandwich...again, with bread, with some vinegar, some lemon
juice, some red peppers.
Whatever you want just to increase the taste of this, it will taste a lot better than just
plain tuna, like I did.
Put it on a sandwich, you can even mix it with a little bit of salad.
So we sort of cleared up all this space here, but one of the best things that I like is
sort of my secret weapon.
When I am behind schedule, when I'm running late and I need to get something in...go to
cereal.
You'll see in the meal plans two of the ones that I recommend the most are: Go Lean and
Heart to Heart.
Now don't get it confused with the Go Lean crunch..a lot of sugar in that, extra fat...it's
not equivalent to the Go Lean by itself.
What's great about this is there's actually 12 grams of protein in this cereal and there's
a lot of fibre too.
I challenge you to find other cereals that taste this good and have that nutritional
content.
And the Heart to Heart is not too far behind.
A bowl of cereal, some skid milk, a little extra protein with the yogurt, your favorite
kind of yogurt...they're all pretty much the same.
But a non-fat yogurt is really good and that's it...for 3 minutes and then out the door and
I feel like I've definitely got a good meal.
So again, I've got sort of my go-to meals, I've got some alternatives for when I'm on
the run.
There's also fruits that you can grab at any point in time, real quick and easy.
Guys, these are the meal plans that have a lot for me the potential to build muscle and
to burn fat, much easier than it would have been before in terms of what my option were.
I wanna give these meal plan to you, as well.
90 days worth of meal plans that come with the ATHLEAN-X training system.
When you combine the two of those, in the next 90 days you won't believe how much of
an impact it can have on you, just through a concerted effort through your diet.

You'll see there's tons of food here you can eat.
As a matter of fact, on these meal plans we don't even focus on portion sizes.
