For the last couple of weeks, I have been writing up sample meal plans for a variety of different pretend clients. The intent has been to put everything together that we’ve covered over the last six months or so in our “Bro Diet” series, and to give you a starting point for how to eat to support your fitness goals. Today, we’re going to do a sample meal plan for “Brian”.
Here are his stats:
- Male
- 42 years old
- 205 pounds
- Looking to drop 20 lbs over the next 4-5 months
Brian also prefers gluten minimal, and lower sodium.

Remember – this sample day of eating is a starting point. Everyone is different, and following a meal plan you find on the internet to a “T” that is designed for someone else is probably not going to get you the best results! However, I hope that it gives you an idea of how to calculate calorie / macro needs, structure your meals, and other things that could be helpful in your nutrition journey!
