Meal Plans

So, for over two years now I have followed meal plans. Basically, I have my body fat measured then Zach figures out how many calories I should eat each day. He breaks it down by meals.

I have 5 meals a day and I eat every three hours. I learned to plan my day around eating these 5 meals. At first it was tricky. Now I can plan my entire day with no problem. Sometimes I will eat and no one will even notice that I just ate. Most people don't even bat an eye when I start taking food out of my purse and start eating.

When I started I just counted the calories. A few plans in I started watching saturated fat, and a few plans later I started counting protein and eating pre and post workout meals.

These plans a made for me. They are based on my weight and what I should weigh. On average, I get a new plan every three months. Below is a list of all the different meal plans I have had since I started this whole meal plan business.
