💪 Gym Day Adjustments

On your 4 gym days, add one of these to lunch (adds ~100–150 kcal):
  • Extra boiled egg
  • Extra slice of bread with peanut butter
  • Slightly larger chicken/meat portion (+30g)
This brings gym-day total to ~1700–1750 kcal to support muscle recovery without a big surplus.

📌 Key Tips

  • Protein priority: Every meal has a protein source (eggs, chicken, lentils, beans, dairy). This keeps you full and protects muscle.
  • Cooking time: Most meals take 15–25 min max. Lentil/bean soups can be batch-cooked for 2 days.
  • Budget hack: Eggs, lentils, chickpeas and rice are the cheapest calories and the most filling per somoni.
  • Hydration: Drink 2–2.5L water daily. On walk days, add an extra glass.
  • Don't skip bread: Lepyoshka/non is calorie-dense and filling — perfect for a student budget.
  • Plov (Day 3 lunch): A simplified version with oil, rice, carrot, and a small piece of chicken is traditional, filling, and costs almost nothing.

Try again

Sure — what specifically didn't work for you in the previous plan? For example:
  • Too repetitive? (same eggs/rice/lentils every day)
  • Not filling enough? (portions felt small)
  • Meals weren't "real" enough? (wanted proper cooked dishes, not just assembled foods)
  • Calorie split was off? (e.g. want a bigger breakfast or lighter dinner)
  • Missing something specific? (e.g. no red meat, wanted more variety, wanted recipes not just meal names)
  • Something else entirely?
Tell me what felt wrong and I'll redo it properly.

💡 Key Notes

  • Cheese appears only once — Wednesday snack. That's it.
  • Eggs are your main daily protein. Buy a tray of 30 — cheapest weekly investment.
  • Batch cook lentils, chickpeas and beans in bulk on Sunday — store in fridge, use across the week. Cuts cooking time to under 10 min on busy days.
  • Gym days: Add 1 boiled egg or extra tbsp of PB to lunch. Takes 30 seconds, gives your muscles what they need.
