If you are looking to gain lean muscle tissue whilst losing fat, then take a look at our example bodybuilding diet plan. The plan consists of eating six meals per day that contain high quantities of protein, but are low in fat. This example diet is suitable for those that want to gain, lose or maintain their bodyweight, simply by changing the quantity of carbohydrates within each meal.

At six meals per day, that works out to 42 in a week. If you can stick to this strict eating regimen, then great, otherwise, allow a few ‘cheat’ meals, that is, eating whatever you want, but don’t go overboard, try and limit this to three at the most per week!
