Weight loss vs. muscle gain meal ideas! 💪 *Swipe to see lunch, dinner & a snack idea* .
While no one meal will make you gain or lose weight, your meals and snacks for the day all together will add up to hit your target goals.
.
As a reminder, for fat loss you need to be in a sustainable caloric deficit. For muscle gain, you need to be in a caloric surplus. For macitence, you need to be at a a caloric maintenance level.
.
While that exact caloric number will be different for everyone, here are some examples to help you reach your goals.
.
As you can see for the weight loss meals, they’re not devoid of all complex carbs. While at dinner, I skipped the rice for cauliflower rice, at lunch, I still included the full sweet potato and just skipped the toppings that were in the muscle gain meal.
.
Additionally, I made sure I had plenty of healthy fats in the weight loss meals but still had a smaller portion than in the muscle gain meals.
