Curious, what should I eat on the weekends since this covers the work week? Trying to get from 196lbs to 215lbs, do I just follow this meal plan until I get there? Or follow this for a few weeks then move up to 3.5k?

Hey JT, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delay in my response! Anyways, on the weekends I might have a few meals leftover from the week depending on if I had any cheat meals. But if I didn’t have any cheat meals and all of my prepped meals are gone then I eat out but am very careful as to what I put in my body. Be sure to use My Fitness Pal and calculate the foods, can be very helpful in staying on course. I think you’re on point for the last question. I generally follow meal plans for about two weeks then re-evaluate progress. If I am making steady progress I might stay there for another week then bump it up. But when I bump up my calories I usually do it by 250 – 500 at a time. Hope this helps!

Also meant to ask…. Where does the gallon of water get used? I imagine to drink and refill daily.

I buy 2 of them at the beginning of each week and refill as needed. But I drink at least one gallon a day, sometimes more like a gallon and a quarter.
