Your strategy?

[Huntarious]

Whether cutting or adding muscle how do you plan your meals. Do you follow a meal plan for a day by day and meal by meal? or do you switch it up depending on whats around the house?

On sunday, cook meals for the entire week, cook pounds of chicken, pounds of steak or ground beef, veggies, rice, hardboil a bunch of eggs...etc...then pack the whole days worth of eating in the morning....buy a cooler

I plan all my meals around my workout. I

If my workout/run is far away, I can eat whatever I want and make sure I get some protein. As I near my workout/run, I start to track what I eat and make sure I don't eat any greasy food that is going to ruin my workout and make me feel like ****.

I actually take it a meal at a time, but I rarely have anything crazy so I usually know about what macros I've eaten so far. Around mid day I put it into fitday and see what I have left, then plan dinner around that.

Well, I'm the one who decides what's "around the house," so I just plan my shopping accordingly on grocery day. I eat mostly the same things each week anyway.
