Scaling Guide

  • Beginner: Reduce total sets by one per exercise. Use body weight or resistance bands. Focus on the eccentric (lowering) phase to build control.
  • Advanced: Incorporate "tempo" training (e.g., 3 seconds down, 1 second pause). Add "drop sets" on the final set of each exercise to maximize muscle fiber recruitment.

SECTION 2: THE 7-DAY DIET PLAN

This plan prioritizes nutrient density—maximizing vitamins and minerals per calorie—while maintaining a balanced 40/30/30 (Carbs/Protein/Fat) macro split.

The Meal Plan

Meal

Example 1 (Days 1, 3, 5)

Example 2 (Days 2, 4, 6, 7)

Breakfast

Greek yogurt bowl with chia seeds, blueberries, and walnuts.

Scrambled eggs (2) with spinach, feta, and two slices of whole-grain toast.

Snack 1

One medium apple with 1 tbsp almond butter.

1/4 cup hummus with raw bell pepper strips.

Lunch

Grilled chicken breast, 1/2 cup quinoa, roasted broccoli, and olive oil dressing.

Tuna or Chickpea salad over mixed greens with avocado and pumpkin seeds.

Snack 2

A small handful of raw almonds or a protein shake.

Low-fat cottage cheese with sliced cucumber.

Dinner

Baked salmon fillet with asparagus and a medium baked sweet potato.

Lean ground turkey stir-fry with bok choy, snap peas, and brown rice.

Hydration Strategy

  • Target: 30–35ml of water per kg of body weight daily.
  • Timing: Drink 500ml upon waking. Consume 250ml every hour during the workday.
  • Workout: Add 500ml for every 45 minutes of intense activity.

Dietitian's Swaps

  • Vegetarian: Replace Chicken/Beef with Tempeh, Tofu, or Lentils. Ensure 20g+ protein per meal.
  • Dairy-Free: Replace Greek yogurt with Coconut/Soy yogurt (unsweetened) and feta with nutritional yeast or avocado.
  • Gluten-Free: Swap whole-wheat bread/pasta for Quinoa, Buckwheat, or Certified GF Oats.
