What’s new: Meals are new, fresh, and tasty! Some of my recent favorites on the meal plan this week 1) my simple protein pancake recipe 2) my favorite Mediterranean salad and 3) my cashew chicken stir fry recipe as well as 2 others! The workouts are challenging and result-driven; I’ve been incorporating aspects that really helped me see results in the past (ie: different angles, varying rep ranges, etc.) into the design of these workouts!
About the meal plan: this meal plan
is an 1900-ish calorie diet designed to promote a healthy metabolism – 5
small meals spaced throughout the day created with simplicity in mind
(easy meal prep ideas).
About the workouts: the week’s
worth of dollar a day training workouts includes my 5 weekly workouts:
1) legs/glutes 2) upper body circuit 3) no
equipment HIIT cardio & abs circuit 4) arms circuit
4) back, glutes & weighted abs – all have specified sets, reps, and
weights as well as my personal training tips!
serves as one day full of meals and is repeated for 7 days, which is
not too long to get sick of the food but allows for food to be pre-made
in mass amounts. Typically, I do 5 meals – meals 1, 2, and 4 are more of
a breakfast, lunch and dinner, while meals 3, and 5 are smaller
portioned meals to keep my body fed properly throughout the day.
Additionally, there is an optional post-workout shake/meal that can be
added any time during the day. I did not want to provide specific times
to eat these meals as everyone’s schedule varies; I suggest meal 1
should be consumed within 1 hour of waking and then all other meals
should be spaced 2.5-3.5 hours apart (give or take depending on your
schedule). My meal plan style is SIMPLISTIC; I’ve
found the more ingredients and the longer the prep, the more likely one
is to fall off the plan.

This is great to see the fitness work over here. We need to look smart and healthy! Your blog is very much helpful..Thanks
Hi Lauren!
I am curious if you ever implement bulking and cutting cycles in your diet? I know you said you stay around maintenance calories (1800ish) but I have been seeing a lot about bulking and cutting and how successful it is….but it scares me!
Also, when you say "1800 calories" is that net calories? If you burn 500 that day, would you still only consume 1800 or would you then eat back what you burned and eat 2100? Otherwise you would be sitting at 1300…which doesn't seem like enough for muscle growth!
