Healthy meals for students and other busy people: 6-pack abs and gain muscle with good nutrition

http://www.scoobysworkshop.com
Good nutrition is the secret to both losing fat and gaining muscle, in this video I show you how to eat 6 inexpensive, nutritious meals a day without cooking or shopping. This video is in response to the hundreds of people who have written me saying they knew their nutrition was horrible but felt powerless to improve it because of the schedule constraints of their work, school, or life. Eating 6 small, well balanced meals a day is easy when you know how and once your nutrition is on track you will find it easy to reduce bodyfat to show those 8-pack abs and gain muscle too.

The one thing you need to do though is get rid of the idea that food always has to be tasty. Jack LaLane had a great saying "If it tastes good, spit it out!" and its so true. If something is that good then its most likely got too much sugar, salt, fat or artificial flavors. When something tastes really, really good your first thought should be - "whats in this?". Think about what you are eating! If what makes it taste good is the nasty stuff mentioned above then spit it out. Obviously if you are eating a carrot or an apple and it tastes good this doesnt apply. The saying is designed to make you think about everything you eat. If you dont know what is on the list of ingredients and its nutritional content then SPIT IT OUT!

Here are the meals I eat during the video:

5:00am coffee and protein powder mixed in water (about 100 cals)
6:30am oatmeal with flax and protein powder (about 400 cals)
9:30am mixed frozen vegetables with spaghetti sauce and protein powder mixed in water (about 400 cals)
12:00 shredded wheat with nonfat milk, flax, and protein powder (about 400 cals)
2:30pm can of kidney beans and raisins (about 300 cals)
5:00pm dried soybeans and raisins (about 300 cals)
7:30pm mixed frozen vegetables with spaghetti sauce and protein powder mixed in water (about 300 cals)
9:00pm protein powder mixed in water (100 cals)

If you eat too much your kidneys have to work overtime to get rid of it and its not healthy. How much protein consumption is too much? Many bodybuilders consume more than 1g protein per pound of body weight per day without any problems. I keep under that number, I weigh 240 lbs and consume about 200g protein a day.

You will notice that I didnt eat any chicken/meat/fish during the whole day, that is typical for me. I eat meat when I go out to restaurants (about once a week) but not at home. If you want, feel free to use meats for your protein rather than protein powder. You can get dried fish and meat, and you can also get canned salmon/tuna. Both of these are very convenient. If you have time, you can grill up some chicken twice a week and use this as your protein.

Many, many people have asked what protein powder I recommend. I would stick to protein powders that have the words "100% Natural" in the name. The protein powder I use is here:

People seem really confused about three products and its really important you get these straight or you will make some serious dietary mistakes!

Protein Powder - Contents: protein (whey, soy or egg)

Protein Shanks - Contents: protein (whey, soy or egg), sugar, assorted chemicals

Weight Gainer - Contents: protein (whey, soy or egg), sugar, assorted chemicals

Nutrition is key to being able to add muscle! I cover nutrition on my website, if thats not detailed enough for you I have reviewed and recommended some excellent books:

i think he's great, really!!!

@tam705618 Consuming an excess of ANYTHING will kill you, even water. You could die of eating too much protein regardless of the source - meat, dairy, or whey. Singling out protein powder as 'dangerous' is unjustified and completely unsupported. I'm a pseudo-vegetarian and rely heavily upon dairy whey for my protein needs.

[iceriders]

this guy is just two funny driving without a shirt and do you really have to add protein to everything... really appreciate you taking to show us what to keep cause i really have no idea and struggling

I personally am a huge fan of cottage cheese, however it has a lot of fat in it, but I feel that the protein in it kind of out weighs the fat part, do you ever eat cottage cheese or no?

[JiGsAwMoFo]

Damn, he eats a lot of protein XD Would anyone happen to know about how many cals this whole meal plan is?

[tam705618]

@The4buster Don't over take protein powder, some research say it will cause kidney stone. In general, 1g of protein powder for each kg of your body weight is a safe start (i believe you can take more if you work out).
