Nutrition framework

Mediterranean leaning. ButcherBox proteins anchor the week.

The rules: Hit protein every meal. Carbs cluster around the 6 AM lift (pre + post). Fats from olive oil, avocado, nuts, and fish. Vegetables at lunch and dinner β€” no exceptions. Two coffees a day, water otherwise.
  • Pre-lift (5:40 AM): Black coffee + 1 banana or 1 slice Ezekiel toast with honey. Quick carbs before the 6 AM session.
  • Post-lift (7:15 AM): 4 whole eggs + 2 egg whites, oatmeal with berries and walnuts, second coffee. The big protein anchor of the day.
  • Lunch: Mediterranean bowl β€” protein, lentils or chickpeas, big greens, olive oil, lemon, feta. Most variety here.
  • Snack: Greek yogurt with honey and almonds OR string cheese + apple + raw almonds.
  • Dinner: ButcherBox protein, roasted vegetables, olive oil, lentil/farro/quinoa side. Rotate 3–4 dinners per week.
  • Hydration: 1 gallon water/day. Cut all sugary drinks. Wine is fine 1–2 nights β€” count it (5 oz red = 125 cal).
