Yesterday I gave you the low-down on one of my favorite workout programs I’ve ever tried — Body Beast.
Today I want to let you know what I’ll be eating as I go through the Body Beast for the next 90 days. I’ll be tracking on MyFitnessPal (user name coachwayne), so for those of you following me, you’ll see minor variations. But I’m a creature of habit and I like to pick something that works and then stick with it. So most days I’ll eat nearly the same thing, with dinner being the biggest variable.
My maintenance calorie level is about 3000-3100, so I will go with a slight surplus to fuel muscle building. However, I don’t want to bulk up too much, so I’m not going a full 20% above maintenance. For those really wanting to pack on mass, the guide suggests going 20% above your maintenance level (that would be 3700 cals in my case). I have chosen to target 3400 cals and monitor my progress.
Here’s what my typical day’s nutrition plan will look like (I’ll elaborate below) =
My workout supplements are changing, as I am going to go with the Body Beast lineup for this first round. I will still use my Purple Wraath BCAA supplement during my workout, but immediately afterward I will BEAST UP with the Beachbody Body Beast Supplements. I will make the post workout shake with the Hardcore Base Shake, the Fuel Shot, the MAX Creatine, and the Super Suma. Since the Beast supps are all flavorless, I will use a naval orange along with water and ice to blend up my shake.
For breakfast, I will go with some egg whites and a bowl of oatmeal (I’m saving Shakeology for lunch this round since I’ll have just had the Beast Shake in the morning).
For the morning and afternoon snacks, I will do peanut butter sandwiches and some protein powder. With the AM snack, I will also have an apple. And with the afternoon snack, I will have a bag of veggies (which I cut up at home the night before and take with me to work) and some almonds.
For lunch, I will do more oatmeal and my Reeses Shakeology. However, since I’m trying to bump up the cals and fats, I will use natural peanut butter (I had been using PB2 before).
Dinner will be variable, but will usually consist of a lean meat (chicken, fish, or lean beef), a complex carb (like rice, quinoa, or couscous), and veggies (brocolli, beans, etc.)
In the evenings, I will make a fruit smoothie with vanilla whey, 1/2 banana, and blueberries (with ice and water).
