So i decided to try out a very reputable personal trainer who also does meal planning, all for a good price for one month.
A little about me: male, mid 30s, 5'8, 160 lbs, skinny-ish with bellyfat. Trying to build some muscle and size while shedding any unnecessary fat in process. I spent a year trying this on my own and, thanks to the mass amount of misinformation out there, failed at it. So i thought I'd try out a pro who could create a plan that is custom fit for me particularly.
I've only done one session so far and he knows his stuff as far as workouts go. No debate there. But I've just received my meal plan and it has me scratching my head. Is this for someone building muscle or trying to lose weight?
I will show you the first 3 days only as an example:
DAY 1
Breakfast: rolled oats cooked in low fat milk and little bit of maple syrup.
Snack: 1 hard boiled egg
Lunch: apple and cheddar pita pockets
Snack: cucumber salad
Dinner: vegetable soup
DAY 2
Breakfast: cottage cheese with blueberries and honey and side of almonds
Snack: sliced green bell pepper with humous
Lunch: white bean/avocado toast with mixed greens
Snack: raspberries
Dinner: chicken with mixed greens salad
DAY 3
Breakfast: 1 slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, an apple on the side
Snack: cinnamon pears
Lunch: fig and goat cheese salad
Snack: raspberries
Dinner: vegetable soup
Now there's some things i have to ask him about substituting because im picky eater and dont eat them (cottage cheese, goat cheese, avocado, humous, salad dressings, for example).
But other than that, does this seem like a meal plan for someone who wants to pack on muscle/size and lose bellyfat? It just seems kinda... Light? I don't know. I mean theres not even any mention of smoothie/protein shakes. Wheres all the protein at (egg whites, lean ground turkey, only 1 mention of chicken, no greek yogurt, etc).
I just wanna make sure i didnt just waste my money. Any thoughts?
