As important as it is to train, it's just as important (if not more) to have a proper nutrition plan. Eating well has always been a strong point, as for the last three years I believe that I have genuinely ate healthy. Throughout this time, my nutrition has progressed well, but it was during this last week that I finally think I found the right plan for me. Since I'm currently trying to gain a few pounds, I really wanted all my meals to include some type of lean meat with a good amount of complex carbs. In order to accomplish this, I feel like this plan will work the best if I continue to follow it religiously. Let me know what you think!
