The Bodybuilding Meal Prep Cookbook: Macro-Pleasant Meals to Put together, Seize, and Go

Meaningful applied course on healthy food prep
I based this purchase on other reviews citing excellent tasty recipes.I was surprised by the level of flavor because when I think body uikding, I think tasteless and boring. This is so much more exciting.I tried to read the intro pages but the theoretical work was a bit too much detail. So I went through my pantry and then went to the store for the extra needd items for week 1 prep. that part was so easy, and I noticed a lot of vegetables came into my cart today. That’s how I like it. I also felt guilty because currently I offer my kids lunch snacks that I know they will eat: cookies, chips,and Capri suns. How am I making this healthy stuff for me and not my kids?Back home and prepping, of course they declined any tastes of the food I myself couldn’t wait it smelled great! And it also all tastes great!Modifications are very easy. I didn’t have red wine vinegar, modify to fancy ACV. Add extra garlic, no problem. And turkey for chicken stock. Everything is what I want to eat. I don’t have that, let’s eat something unhealthy impulse with these meals prepped and available to me.So you will want some containers for smoothie ingredients and meals. I might consider a double batch of the kale because one barely filled a larger bento box. But a great thing about her book is you try it, it’s successful, and you will try it again. It isn’t so exhausting that you give up after one time. She’s me talky preparing the reader in stages, and for me this works!So there’s six weeks worth of meal planning, and recipes just standing alone but organized based on their meal type. It’s got weekly shopping lists, an overall time management plan to cook all items efficiently and prepare most efficiently. She has freezer recipes (smoothies) and precook meals (the recipes).She starts the reader off with preparing only two meals per day, but there’s tree recipes. This is so smart. Some of us try to be overachievers and then fail after a bit when life happens. So do yourself a favor, learn how to prep a few, add more, and try all the recipes at least once.The first week recipes are: smoothies, turkey meatballs, broiled mushrooms, salsa chicken, and wilted kale.I added an extra smoothie recipe and started with a plan for three meals a day. Two protein smoothies (seeds, fruit, strawberry and the second is strawbwrry- PB, like a sandwich), Turkey meatballs meal, and salsa chicken with kale. This is easy to augment my current routine, and I am excited to try the portions.Her book has small suggestions to add a bit more nutrition so ie. Doing high protein yogurt added to the smoothie, for example.This is a lovely book. I don’t think there’s a ton of pictures. The recipes are all spiced enough to make me happy.Excellent addition for any athlete out there, not just bodybuilders. I am really excited about trying all the recipes there, they look great.By the time you get to week six you’ll make up to give meals a day! I like the graduated approach. It’s pretty close to getting top notch advise from someone higher up.Also worth mebtionig is that the clean up is super light and easy. I was looking at this book and another one for “workout hard, cook fast” type of titled books, and I am so very happy I chose this one for clean eating and improving my prep work. I highly recommend this book.Would love more books by this author.

Something is off with the macro calculations but the recipes are fantastic (lots of Keto options)
I know my BMR and was able to use it to calculate according to the author’s instructions and they kept coming out weirdly off. Specifically, the calculations kept giving me somewhere around 25-40 grams of fat/day while cutting which is not healthy. I ended up using a TDEE calculator online with a cutting option and am tracking with cronometer. Once I got that sorted out however, everything was great. I love the recipes and how accessible they are. No weird ingredients and lots of creativity. The macros are calculated for you but with the problems in the beginning I will double check them all.

Very few pictures
If you are like me and like to see pictures of the meals, this book if not for you!

Entrenador personal en casa
Me agrada que sea tan sencillo la forma en la que el autor explica y es fascinante el que tenga planes semanales y muchas recetas más para poder elegir cuando ya se tenga más control del conteo de calorías, por cierto las recetas son muy buenas y todo está riquísimo.

Been using this book for a few months now and the recipes help a lot! Only thing I wish for is a European version of the book. can’t source some ingredientsUpdate: Been using this book for a few months now and i use it daily. Ended up buying another for a friend of mine. Always had problem putting on weight but the simplified bulking information really helped him big time!Really worth the few quid if your into bodybuilding or even looking to shed a few healthy and with good tasting recipes.

Das buch ist ziemlich OK, obwohl hbe ich mehr von den Rezepten erwartet.

Nice recipes but would have been a nice added value to add pictures of the meals. Happy in general though
