Get Shredded With These 7 Tips
1. You must consume six to seven meals per day.
2. Protein should be the foundation of your diet as the significance of protein to muscle during dieting cannot be overstated. A maximum of 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight is recommended.

4. Be consistent – meet your protein requirements every day!
