This is a sample diet for a person who is looking to build some muscle and burn some fat. The calories and times may VARY based on your schedule and nutrition needs. Many of us have hectic schedules and feel as if we are destined to just be out of shape forever, but my friend this is not the case. It is actually very simple to achieve a dream body, provided you follow the correct steps. The first step is preparation. In order to be successful you must prepare for anything, so I always advise people to spend a few hours on a lazy Sunday afternoon and prepare all of their food for the workweek, put it into tupperware containers as individual meals and freeze it. Then you would just take a days worth of food with you to work and you will not have to worry about being tempted to go to the Sonic Drive Thru and ruin all of the hard work that you just put in the night before at the gym! Here is a sample diet that I have used with some success. You may modify it to suit your needs.
Meal 1 6:30am
Approved Source Protein Shake
1/2 cup oatmeal
6.5 oz PEELED Ruby Red Grapefruit, splenda packets can be used to sweeten if desired

Keep in mind that out of all the macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fat) lean protein has the highest thermogenic effect on the body. This is probably the main reason that professional athletes and competitive bodybuilders eat a diet that is high in lean protein and also have some of the best physiques on the planet. This goes for women also and not just men. As we are all humans with basically the same dna and tissues, we all need protein in order to survive and also burn fat. So it is very important to eat enough lean protein each day regardless of gender.
By combining lean protein with the correct types and amounts of green leafy vegetables, good carbs, and fats (you can use the diet listed above as a guideline) you will begin to super charge your metabolism and turn your body into a 24-7 fat burning machine. You will also be able to avoid nasty food cravings The best part about that is, you will be able to do it without a miracle supplement, weird drugs, or expensive surgeries.
