Most of the year isn't a cut or a bulk — it's maintenance, and doing it well is what makes the harder phases work. This is a normal, varied day: eggs and a savoury start, a solid lunch, protein in the afternoon, and a plant-forward dinner. Enough protein, enough vegetables, and room for a life outside your macros.
