The 7-6-3-1 Method is used to help guide your grocery purchasing and cooking to provide you with all the necessary ingredients to contain and build muscle while working out. This is primarily built towards building muscle and will need to be adjusted based on primary workout goals (ie training for muscle gain versus a marathon). Ingredients can be changed, but will need to abide by the categories below to keep a generally steady diet. The ingredients you’ll be primarily focusing on are: - 7 proteins - Help keep you full and build the muscle you are training - Eggs, Greek Yogurt, Chicken Breast, Canned Tuna, Lean ground beef, Cottage Cheese, Salmon - 6 complex carbs - Fueling training and carry you through the day - Rice, Oats, Potatoes, Banana, Whole Grain Bread, Frozen Berries - 3 fats - Help to contain energy and nutrients. Very calorically dense and must be consumed sparingly - Olive oil, avocado, mixed nuts - 1 treat - Don’t cheat and keep it low - Oreos, Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Almonds
