What to expect tomorrow:
❤️Tomorrow will be a high Protein day
❤️You will want to push your first meal to as late as possible - say noon
Break your fast with some bone broth
Have a chicken breast or steak & eggs
In the evening, maybe some cottage cheese, fish or chicken breast
❤️Target macros tomorrow will be:
✔Target 50% - 60% of your total macros
✔Protein will make up 80% of the calories (60 grams or more)
