Your suppor really does mean so much, and you know me, I have creaed his meal plan wih one goal in mind, VALUE. Correc, I was no inially planning on creang his documen, however, as YouTube videos say up on a channel or lie, along wih he ac ha his can be a urher add on o my websie, I eel ha his is an unmissable opporuniy, in order o help provide a lo o value o you all, regardless o age, gender and/or economic saus, o help srucure your die accordingly in order o build muscle. No only will his provide you wih he meal plan seen in he video, bu I have also gone ino more deail on he cooking/preparaon mehods, calories and macronuriens, price o ingrediens and more lile scienc ps behind he raonale o he meal plan. Wih his, you hereore have a ull, evidence based, muscle building meal plan o ollow, which you can hen connually reer back o a ANY me during your “ness journey”. So, wihou urher ado, le’s ge sared wih he rs par o his documen, he raonale behind he meal plan layou isel. SCOTT MURRAY FREE MUSCLE BUILDING MEAL PLAN 3 MEAL PLAN RATIONALE Wihou making his overly complicaed, when i comes o eang, o build muscle ssue, here are our MAIN variables o consider: 1. Total caloric content Alhough calorie surpluses are NOT necessary or muscle gain (Donnelly e.al., 1993) i is commonly acceped ha a calorie surplus will creae a more opmal, anabolic environmen or growh along wih aciliang more inense raining in he gym (Helms e.al., 2014, Aragon e.al., 2017). In ac, sudies even show ha he gains you make whils in an energy surplus are ar superior o hose made when in a deci (Pasiakos e.al., 2010), hus making a calorie surplus crucial or maximising your gains. Moving on, based on he lieraure, hose seeking hyperrophy have been shown o require ~43-47kcal/kg (Faber e.al., 1990, Giada e.al., 1996), hus, as you will see, he oal calorie coun o he meal plan below is 2940kcal. This hereore reecs closely wha an average, 70kg “skinny” ahlee would require, based on he above calculaon. SCOTT MURRAY FREE MUSCLE BUILDING MEAL PLAN 4 Tha being said, however, alhough I explain how o calculae your own SPECIFIC energy requiremens in order o gain muscle and/or lose a in boh “Living Lean” and he HyperElie series, undersand ha your own specic calorie requiremens are subjec o so many variables ouside o my conrol (Psoa & Chen, 2013) and, as wih anyhing, i is ineviable ha you will have exreme ouliers who require ar more/less in order o gain muscle mass. However, hopeully he above explains my hough process behind assigning he oal calorie conen o he meal plan. 2. Total protein content While or an average sedenary individual, he recommended daily allowance (RDA) or proein is currenly se a 0.8g/kg (Ryan-Harshman & Aldoori, 2006), as resisance raining “ahlees” (which I presume you are i you are reading his), sudies have shown oal proein requiremens o increase up o 175% or more (Phillips e.al., 2006, Lemon, 1995). Thereore, alhough all hings proein relaed are all oulined in “Living Lean”, all in all, he curren agreemen amongs evidence based proessionals is ha a proein inake o ~2g/kg is sucien in order o allow or adapaons rom raining when a or above mainenance (Phillips 2006, 2011, Philips e.al., 2007). Thereore, as you will see, he oal proein coun o he meal plan below is 210g which, I know is 70g more han wha he above 70kg “skinny male” would require however, le me explain. My main hough process behind his decision is ha, more proein (o a cerain degree) is no going o be in any way derimenal o you, i seeking o gain muscle mass, i anyhing i may bene you in order o ac as a “saey blanke” along wih he urher benes i can provide as oulined in “Living Lean”. Thereore, by having a proein inake o 210g, I am essenally “covering all bases” and making his meal plan ully applicable o an enre range o ahlees, as opposed o having a lower inake and making i less applicable o slighly heavier individuals. SCOTT MURRAY FREE MUSCLE BUILDING MEAL PLAN 5 3. Protein quality No only does he AMOUNT o proein you consume per day maer, however, also he QUALITY o ha proein and is amino acid prole wih a plehora o sudies showing a ~3g serving o he amino acid Leucine o be crucial or successully smulang MPS a each meal (Noron & Wilson, 2009). Alhough all hings proein qualiy relaed are discussed in more deail in “Living Lean”, in case you were no already aware, Leucine rich sources o proein include mea, poulry, sh, eggs, milk, cheese, yogur and o course, proein supplemens (whey/casein/proein blends). Thereore, as you will see, each meal in he meal plan below consiss o he above high biological value proein sources in servings sucien enough o supply he necessary 3g o Leucine, in order o eecvely smulae MPS and hence explaining he raonale behind my ood choices made in he meal plan. SCOTT MURRAY FREE MUSCLE BUILDING MEAL PLAN 6 4. Protein feeding frequency Finally, no only is he qualiy o he proein you consume imporan however, also how you divide and spread ou ha proein hroughou he day wih a plehora o sudies showing ha 3-5, isonirogenous meals consisng o >20g proein, spaced ou a ~3hr inervals are superior or gaining muscle han ewer eeding requencies (Area e.al., 2013, Munser & Saris 2012). Again, alhough, he raonale behind his is covered in exreme deph in my complee guide o “Living Lean”, in shor, his meal requency will allow you o maximise muscle proein synhesis (MPS) (Phillips & Van Loon, 2011) and hus muscle gains which, I am presuming you wan. See THIS video or more inormaon on MPS. Thereore, as you will see, he meal plan below surpasses he above and consiss o 6 meals which can be spread ou a 2.5-3hour inervals, hus ollowing he aoremenoned guidelines and hence explaining he raonale behind ha aspec o he meal plan. 5. Extra (carbohydrates & fats) Noe ha, o course carbohydrae and a (inakes/raos and sources) will also play a role when designing an eecve meal plan or eiher gaining muscle and/or losing a however, ha is WELL beyond he scope o his documen and all covered in exreme deph in my complee guide o “Living Lean”. Noneheless, you can saely be ha I have sll considered hose when designing he meal plan below. So, here you have i, your 4 main variables o consider when designing a muscle building meal plan, now all you have o do is creae i.
