Random meals and snacks that keep me slim thick

Hello Lemon8 friends 👋🏾

I figured I’d share some (nonasthetic) meals that helped me gain weight and build muscle. I always try to prioritize PROTEIN and healthy(er) carbs as it aids in muscle protein synthesis and keeps me feeling fuller for a longer time ✨

In my fitness/weight gain journey, I learned pretty quickly that I wouldn’t make the gains I wanted until I started changing up my diet. I decided to dirty bulk in the beginning of my journey, but I do NOT recommend dirty bulking to anyone ☠️😭 eating high energy fast foods for the sake of weight gain is NOT worth the acne, stress, and FAT gain 👎🏾 the solution to my problem was to start making my own meals following macronutrient guidelines that align with my goals.

To simplify things, I first used a ✨macro calculator✨ to tell me how much of each macronutrient(protein, carbohydrates, and fat) I need in a day to be on track with my goals. From that point on, I just made foods that align with my goals and the rest is history ❤️

However, a general rule of thumb when trying to build muscle is to try and get at least 20g of Protein with each meal ✨
