Cottage cheese with some fruit Cheap and good before bed

I don’t track daily anymore but I still measure protein loosely to stay on target

Eggs are still my budget MVP Omelets scrambled hard-boiled cheap protein that actually fills me up

I adjust carbs based on training volume More volume = more carbs

I stopped tracking everything and just made sure every meal had protein That alone helped me stay consistent

I go by feel now After lifting for years I kinda know what weights to grab But beginners definitely benefit from tracking

Tuna or salmon packets with crackers or celery sticks Takes zero prep and packs a ton of protein

Do you use vision boards old pics or motivational podcasts Just curious what mental hacks you guys use when motivation dips

I’ve been switching between heavy 5–8 reps and moderate 10–12 reps lately Noticing better pumps with moderate weight but still want to get stronger What’s working best for you guys this year

For breakfast meal prep I do egg white muffins with turkey bacon and spinach Make a batch in a muffin tray quick to grab in the morning and they stay good for 3 to 4 days
