For muscle building you have eat "enough",while for fat cutting you have to not eat "too much". Either way,you'll have to be disciplined enough to consume exactly what's requiredof you to accomplish your goals.

One good trick is to prepareyour meals beforehand for the entire day, or maybe even the next fewdays. Use tupperware and pre-cook and package everything thatwill go into your mouth. That way you'll know exactly, down to thecalorie, how much you'll be consuming in a day. Then just make it yourmission to consume exactly what's in your containers, nothing more,nothing less. Try setting a schedule of when you'll eat each container.

Remember if you're trying to build muscle or lose fat, either way you should be eating 5-6 times a day. I know, I know that's way too many meals to pre-prepare every day right?. But it's its really not as bad as it sounds.

Whatyou should do is find a good MRP (meal replacement powder) or proteinshake and use that for 3 of your 6 meals out of the day. Cook breakfastlike you normally do in the morning (that's 1 more), and while you'redoing that, fix your other two meals and store them away with yourMRPs. Done, its that simple. Now you have you're eating schedule forthe whole day lined up.

If you don't know how much to put in eachcontainer, that comes down to your "caloric maintenance level". I won'tget into that too much, but if you're trying to gain weight you shouldhave a calorie surplus. Meaning, you should eat more calories than youburn in a day. For fat/weight loss it's the exact opposite; eat lesscalories than you burn in a day for a calorie deficit. (Google the term"calorie maintenance level" to find formulas to calculate your own).

Whatevernumber yours turns out to be, just spread the calories out evenly overyour 5-6 meals. (As you get more advanced you'll probably want totaper-on or taper-off calories.)

Also, remember to get a healthyratio of complex carbs, proteins, and healthy fats in almost everymeal. That's important, as nutritional balance is essential.

So,if you're having trouble with the eating part of your fitness plan, tryout this new method. It's a lot easier to stay on track if you set outthe rules beforehand. All you need is discipline, commitment and sometupperware. Good luck!
