If you’ve been a dailymuscle.com reader long enough, you would know by now that I’m a big fan of making your own meals - not just because it’s ‘the right thing to do’, but simply for the 2 following reasons I believe to be crucial in the quest for a better body:
1. It is the most cost-effective way to get top-notch nutrition
You get full control of the ingredients that go in - and you don’t settle for the cheapest (like most restaurants would do). You can even go organic if you want to - and it would be far cheaper than eating the same thing outside.
2. It gets you into the habit of preparing your own meals
Whether if it’s to be eaten immediately, or meals that you prepare ahead to take with you to work, etc (so you can stick to your eating plan, and not have to eat the junk you’re usually surrounded with). Plus, you could really impress your date.

Fish Oil Rules
By Dr. John Berardi
I consider fish oil to be an essential supplement for fat loss. Data from the University of Western Ontario shows that fish oil supplementation increases lean body mass (during non-dieting conditions), increases BMR (by up to 400kcal/day), decreases inflammation, and improves the ratio of fat/carb oxidized (sparing carbs, burning fat). Recommended dose: Start with 6-10g per day of total fish oil (assuming 30% EPA and DHA).

Eat Pasta… Carefully
By Dr. John Berardi
As a God-fearing Italian, I have to admit that I love pasta. But, as a gut-fearing weight lifter and athlete, I definitely have to choose the lower GI, nutrient dense whole-wheat variety. [click to continue...]
