Glute Building Meal Plan
I’ve decided that I’m going to try this meal plan again that I did last summer. I did pretty good on it, but would have done better had I stuck to it more. This plan includes 10 protein sources that you can choose from to make up 4 meals that equal up to 1600 calories. The first protein packed food is eggs which are also a great source of riboflavin, vitamin B-12, phosphorus, and selenium. The second is tofu or soy based meat substitutes (which I have never tried, but am up for anything). These types of meat substitutes are not only good for protein, but also for thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper. The third protein is salmon, which is also good for phosphorus, niacin, vitamin B-12, and selenium. The fourth is a no brainer–chicken. The fifth is 1% fat cottage cheese and it is great because it’s very versatile. The sixth protein is chickpeas which are also packed with fiber and folate. The seventh is protein powder which can add protein to almost anything. The eighth protein is lentils which also has iron and fiber. Number nine is turkey, which along with chicken, it is common sense almost. Finally number ten is probably one of my favorite foods to each at anytime…peanut butter. All of these foods are supposed to build great glutes! I’m going to try to post what I eat everyday so I can see how it works and also to keep myself accountable!
