Weight loss vs. Muscle gain meal ideas!? *Swipe to see lunch, dinner & snack ideas*⠀
⠀
While no one specific 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.⠀
⠀

⠀
?Breakfast fat loss – 2 eggs + 2 egg whites, 1/4 avocado, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes + 1/4 cup mushrooms + 1/4 cup asparagus sautéed + 1 piece Ezekiel toast.⠀
