ABOUT THIS MEAL PLAN:

The meal plan is based off of raw nutrition and the way your body assimilates nutrition best through food. Our bodies are meant to function best off of the right mixture of foods. That mixture includes complex carbs, lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Your appetite will regulate your caloric intake, basically eating until you are comfortably full (not stuffed). The caloric intake still matters, but with the correct combinations of whole foods and your body's natural appetite, you will find your body moving towards its healthiest state. That state being lean and strong (burning fat, building lean muscle, basically what people want).

People focus way to much on calories (which are just a unit measurement of energy) instead of what those calories are actually composed of and how they effect the body. Same reason why the IIFYM methodology is flawed because yes Macros (carbs,protien,fats) can be measured in the "right" proportions, but the carbs in an oreo are not equal (in nutritional value) to the carbs in a sweet potato.

So basically it's all about the RIGHT foods in the right amounts, and your body will regulate that with your appetite. Our bodies are a lot smarter than we think ;) Thats what the meal plan in the Trainer is all about.
