If you're going to bulk up lose fat or stay healthy you'll also need a goal-specific meal plan to get results. We've created templates to help you do all three along with guidelines to help you track the calories carbs protein and fat you should be shooting for each day.

Stock your fridge and pantry with the foods outlined in our grocery lists to whip up delicious nutritious meals all year. To get you started we've also included sample recipes plus plenty of options to swap in for added variety. This is your one-stop shop for what and how to eat in the new year.

The composition of your meals will be determined by your goals and the timing of your weight training. The meals in our New Year's plan are divided into two categories: those with starchy carbs and those without.
You'll need to eat more starchy carbs and fewer fats before and after workouts to promote energy and muscle growth. If you're training to pack on size you'll eat like this more frequently. And when you're hours removed from a workout you'll limit starches and increase fats which will keep you on track to meet your fat-loss goals. For meals containing starchy carbohydrates
