Conclusion: Healthy Diets for Men – Dinner

Wow, I must admit these are looking pretty damn tasty! The best thing is that they are healthy and a great compliment with the new workout plan that I have made you guys (if you missed it go here – Workout Plan for Men ).

Remember you need to be training at least 3 days a week to have meals this hearty and if you include at least another day of high intensity interval training then you are going to see some incredible results with your lean mean muscle production.

As always, add as many veggies, herbs/spices you like, and if you’re finding that it isn’t leaving your hunger satisfied for long, then increase the portion size slightly and split it into two small meals, ie. 45mins apart.
