High Protein Meal Plan Week 5

Hi Friends! 

I’ve got a countdown on my phone right now which says I have exactly 100 days till we’re taking a family trip to Cancun!  (I’m one of those crazy travel point collectors and we’ve been able to take our whole family on a yearly vacation with our points!)

If you’re new here, I did a “body recomp” challenge last year from the end of April to the beginning of August.  But, I was disappointed with my results. 

While I looked better and lost body fat, I also didn’t gain a single pound of muscle, so I was disappointed.   (see those results here!)

But, since I have 100 days till our Mexico trip, I’ve decided it’s the perfect opportunity to get organized, get focused, and see if I can squeeze out a little more success out of another 100 day push.

For me, I get bored and lazy when I don’t have a specific time based goal (like a bikini show).  But when I do have a specific deadline,  I really thrive.  My exercise gets more intense, and my meals are more organized and absolutely higher quality.

So, I’m ready now! My weight is similar to when I ended the 100 days last fall, so it can serve as my baseline.  

While I won’t be focusing on the scale, I am going to measure my body fat at the beginning of May 2026 to see if I can gain ANY muscle whatsoever.

Last time, the plan was 150 g of Protein, and  tracking my lifts in the gym to measure progress. 

I am going to keep those as big priorities, but add 2 more things that have been shown in studies that encourage muscle growth… and that’s going to be 

1. 10 g of creatine per day (I’ve been taking 5 grams on and off for the last 6 years, but last summer, I didn’t take it at all!  So, maybe that was the missing piece?)  Here’s my current supplement list.
2. 8 hours of sleep!  This time, I’m going to give more attention to recovery. I love to be at the gym at 4am because I can get any machine I want and not have to wait.  But, that also means I don’t always get 8 hours of sleep.  On days I can’t get to sleep early enough, I’m going to do my strength training at home so I can get the 8 hours!

So, this weeks meal plan is going to be HIGH Protein, LOW CARB! 

Hope you enjoy!
