Diet - Secrets of Eating Right to Get Abs

This is a sample meal plan for a person who is looking to build better abs and perhaps add a bit of muscle mass. The calories and meal times can vary based on your schedule and nourishment needs, but try to eat something every 2.5 to 3 hours.

Many of us have wild schedules and feel as if we are destined to simply be out of shape forever, but my friend this is not the situation. It is actually very easy to attain a dream body, provided you stick to the correct steps.

The opening step is preparation. In order to win the meal plan game you must prepare for everything, so I constantly advise people to spend a few hours on a lazy Sunday afternoon and plan all of their food for the workweek, set it into tupperware containers as individual meals and freeze it.

Then you would simply take a days worth of food with you to work and you will not have to be anxious about being tempted to go to the Burger King Thru and ruin all of the hard labor that you just put in the night before at the fitness center!

Here is a sample diet that I have used with some success to decrease my body fat, get ripped fast, and keep my six pack abs on point. You may modify it to suit your needs.
