Build Your Plate: How I Build the Perfect Meals for Fat Loss

I’m showing you exactly how I build a plate to support muscle, fat loss, steady energy, and long-term metabolic health, starting with protein and layering in fiber, smart carbs, and healthy fats. I’ll break down how much protein and fiber to aim for, which food sources I prioritize, how meal timing can affect your results, and how I adjust carbs and fats based on activity and individual needs. Most importantly, I want you to stop thinking of this as another short-term diet and start using it as a simple framework for building meals for life.

Here's what we're covering:

✓ The plate visual you can use every single meal

✓ Protein, carb, veggie, and healthy fat options that actually work

✓ The macro math—I'll walk through the calculation so you can dial in YOUR specific numbers

✓ Why protein first changes everything
