10-Day Complete High-Protein Low-Carb Meal Plan

Eat the right amount of cal, carbs, and protein for muscle definition.

Eat a high protein breakfast!

Muscles might be grown in the gym, but abs are made in the kitchen. I discovered the hard way that lifting weights is just not enough to get that flat, toned stomach I’ve always longed for. To gain muscle definition, a lean, healthy diet is necessary on top of hitting the gym to drop body fat.

As someone who is busy, busy, busy, it’s sometimes difficult to get in that gym session. But, since it’s something that really boosts my mood and makes me feel good, I make sure to get it in. This took some time, though, which is why I think it takes people time to work in the healthy food aspect of fitness as well.

When I’m on the go, it’s sometimes hard to stay away from those quick, unhealthy snacks that are always available–especially when I couldn’t think of a healthy snack to pack myself earlier that day. It’s sometimes hard to say “no” to the donuts that are in the break room of the office in the morning–especially when I wasn’t able to think of anything to eat for breakfast that morning. It’s sometimes hard to leave the pizza in the cafeteria behind during lunch–especially when I didn’t pack myself anything for lunch and thought I could find something in the cafeteria that’s full of unhealthy options.

The point is, it’s difficult. Luckily, here at SkinnyMs, we get that. This 10-Day High-Protein Low-Carb Complete Meal Plan makes it easy to know exactly what to make for every meal throughout the day, and is designed to help you get lean and cut.

Each day you will be eating between 1,200 and 1,500 calories. For most women, this range creates a calorie deficit ideal for weight loss. The maximum amount of carbs per day is 100 grams. This allows you to live a low-carb lifestyle without it being too restrictive.

You’ll still be eating plenty of fruits, veggies, and even some grains. The meal plan also includes eggs, chicken, Greek yogurt (a favorite of mine), and other protein sources. Consumption of protein helps you maintain muscle and lean down, which is why I think it’s incredibly important to get enough of it each and every day.

We recommend pairing this 10-Day Complete High-Protein Low-Carb Meal Plan with a flexible exercise regime such as this 10-Day Tabata Workout Challenge or the Flush The Fat Away Workout Plan. Get exercising, get eating, and get that toned body you’ve been dreaming of!
