Coach Notes

Eating window: 7 AM – 8 PM every day. Breakfast before your 8 AM shift on workdays, dinner right after the lift.

Hydration: 1 gallon water/day minimum. Always 10 oz before the gym with the banana + 2 tbsp honey.

Training: Lift Mon–Fri @ 7 PM. Wed & Thu are off from work (still lifting). Sat & Sun no lifting.

Supplements: Protein shake post-gym if needed. Zinc + magnesium at night.

Breakfast swap: Try each option across the week and tell me which keeps you fuller / more energized.

Seasoning: salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, lemon — no butter/oil in cooking, use spray.

Free meal: One per week, Saturday night. Eat what you want, one plate + one dessert, then right back on plan.

Cheat rule (weekdays): Chipotle bowl — double chicken, brown rice, fajita veggies, salsa, no cheese/sour cream/guac. Skip Wingstop & Panda on training days.

Weigh-in: Mondays @ 7 AM. Track waist + progress photos too — you're recomping, so the scale won't tell the whole story.
