In terms of building muscle, the 3 main components you need to focus on are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\">Consuming enough calories<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"> \u2013 To build muscle we need to be in a calorie surplus, as we need the body to be in an anabolic state (adding mass to the body). Building muscle is possible in a calorie deficit, especially if you carry large amounts of body fat, however it is extremely complicated and difficult. With my clients who are looking to build lean muscle we aim for a surplus of 200-500 calories. This means they are eating 200-500 calories more than what they are burning.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Eating enough protein<\/strong> \u2013 To add sufficient muscle to the body and for it to recover effectively from training we need to be eating enough protein. A good starting point for my male clients is 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight and female 0.8g of protein per pound of bodyweight. If my clients are overweight, you can imagine this number will be extremely high but, in general, these clients wouldn\u2019t be focusing on building muscle so losing weight is usually our first objective.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Effective training programs<\/strong> \u2013 We need to put sufficient stress on the muscle to force them to adapt and grow so a successful and structured training program which focuses on hypertrophy (muscle building) will need to be followed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f7112e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f7112e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">In terms of looking to lose fat, there is only one component you need to focus on:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'PT Sans', serif; font-size: 16px;\">Calorie deficit<\/strong><span style=\"font-family: 'PT Sans', serif; font-size: 16px;\"> \u2013 Please don\u2019t let anyone ever tell you differently, because a lot of people will. By being in a calorie deficit, you put the body into a catabolic state (losing mass). Simply put, you need to be burning more calories than what you are consuming. Exercise, weight lifting, keto (no carbs), shake diets, weight watchers and slimming world will only work when you are in a calorie deficit. You want to be aiming to be in a calorie deficit of around 300-500 calories. I typically start my clients off in roughly a 500 deficit. For example, if my client typically burns 2600 calories a day and wants to lose fat, they will be looking to consume around 2100 a day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'PT Sans', serif; font-size: 16px; color: #ffffff;\">So as you can see, food and nutrition is the most important factor in determining if you lose weight or build muscle, so it\u2019s important that we have a successful approach to it. This is why meal planning can be the perfect solution for a lot of people.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-899a54b elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"899a54b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d72e81e\" data-id=\"d72e81e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe044fd elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"fe044fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-061e1a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"061e1a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What You Need to Do Before You Meal Plan<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d6409a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0d6409a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Before you do a meal plan, you need to decide what you are doing a meal plan for.

This may seem quite daunting and complicated for people, but this is the easiest and most enjoyable thing to do when done properly. Let me share with you how I and all my clients do it. Remember, I have already said there is no one rule that fits all, so this is the part where you need to let your love and passion for food take over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">First thing I need you to do is decide how many meals you like to eat a day. Don\u2019t feel any pressure to do a certain set of meals. Choose as many as you want. Once you decide how many you want, divide your daily calorie number by the number of meals you have chosen. For example, if you need to eat 2100 calories a day need 150g of protein and want to eat 3 meals a day, each meal should be 700 calories and contain 50g of protein.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Now you know exactly how many calories and protein you need, go and have fun on the apps I have previously mentioned and create your own meals with your calorie numbers in mind. Yes, eat whatever you want! That\u2019s the whole point of a successful meal plan; try though keep your meal plans fresh, full of goodness, fibre, fruit and veg as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">An awesome tip to what I do is I buy all my favourite chefs\u2019 books like Gordan Ramsay and Jamie Oliver etc, I choose recipes I love, put their ingredients in the apps, adjust the ingredients to fit into my calories and protein. And just like that, I am eating awesome food in my meal plan that is going to get me my desired results!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Another tip is to have \u201cgo to meals\u201d. These meals are already prepped and in the freezer ready if I am ever in a rush, had a long day or the kids have been playing up. It means I can grab it out of the freezer, cook it up in 30 mins and be good to go, still getting all the calories I need.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b58923 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b58923\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-911a968\" data-id=\"911a968\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7a4a00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c7a4a00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-1024x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13576\" alt=\"Meal Planning\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-270x270.jpeg 270w, https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/EA21A902-926D-4687-A81A-6B83D3DEA90C-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-08531c5\" data-id=\"08531c5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f69b6b elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3f69b6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f32fe7e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f32fe7e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Meal Planning Can Help You Get Results<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1315977 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1315977\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Meal planning gives you the best opportunity to plan and educate yourself on food, and how much your body really needs.

Eating \u201chealthy\u201d is just not enough. You can still eat too much healthy stuff and put on weight! By taking your time with meal plans, you can empower yourself to know what is going on in your body and that will only ever encourage great results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">In my<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/xtremebootcamps.com\/weight-loss-boot-camps\/\">weight loss boot camps<\/a>, <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">this is the method I educate and explore with all my clients, and never does it not go down well. In fact, it\u2019s not unusual for clients to get emotional as some have spent decades and a huge majority of their life worrying about food and health, and the fact I give them the power and tools for them to take complete control of their food and nutrition through meal planning is quite euphoric for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Always
