Ive sent this to clients over the years.
For Protein
Eggs and egg whites
Dairy products (IF you can digest them)
Fish (tuna, salmon, tilapia, etc)
Chicken
Turkey
Beef, steaks, ground beef
Whey protein powder
Any Seafood (shrimp, scallops)
For Carbohydrates
White rice
If you like bread, pasta, they digest well, you can include them
Tubers (potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc)
Fruit (I dont suggest fruit as primary carbohydrate source, simply as it doesn't pair well with high protein, but moderate amounts are fine)
For Fats Sources
Healthy oils (Olive, Coconut, Avocado, Walnut)
Nuts/nut butters
Fatty cuts meats
Eggs
Meal Rules
Protein first in every meal. 40 grams minimum.
If eating high fat protein source, keep carbs to absolute minimum
Muscle gain meal=High protein+carbohydrates+low fat
When in doubt: Protein+rice+small amount of veggies.
Dont overcomplicate.
