Maintenance / Everyday — Sample Day

A balanced everyday day around 2,300 kcal — the kind of eating you can hold for the long run.

GOAL
Maintenance
LENGTH
1 day
CALORIES
2300 / day
PROTEIN
140 g / day

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.

WHO IT'S FOR
  • Anyone between fat-loss or building phases
  • People who want a sane default rather than a diet
  • A base to adjust up for training days and down for rest days

NOTES
  • Maintenance is a range, not a single number — your weight drifting a kilo either way across a month is normal.
  • Keep the protein and vegetables consistent; let the carbs flex with how much you're training.
