“Eat healthy,

and get the

body you want

at the same

time. It does not

need to be one

or the other.”

(Me in my favourite grocery store in Groningen)

Hey I’m Rich from Bar Brothers Groningen.

A beginner at heart in everything with a

passion for nutrition, calisthenics and

movement in general. I especially love good

food and eating tons and tons of it ;).

You might not know this, but a good diet is

100% of your results, whether it’s buildingmuscle, burning fat or simply becoming

healthier. Working out is 100% too, in case

you were wondering. You don’t need to be

good at math to realize that it means you’ll

need to give it 200% of your effort to get the results you want.

And that’s exactly what I’m going to help you with in this FREE ‘Lean Muscle

Gain Meal Plan For Natural Results’ which is specifically meant to build muscle.



http://1ddc7qn6k8q-y260fkmpyi8w4k.hop.clickbank.net/







“Whenever people

tell me that eatinghealthy is too

expensive to do, I

ask them: “What

about the medical

bill you will have to

pay a few years

from now, if you

choose not to?”

That’s usually notwhat they want to

hear.”

I know there is a lot of dieting

information out there and as far as I

know you have no reason to take my

advice, that’s why I want to emphasize

that all my recommendations are based

upon solid scientific proof and personal

experience.

And the picture on the front page is the

result this diet in combination with

calisthenics has given me, so I must bedoing something good, right? ;)

By now you might wonder why I am

giving away advice which some people

ask a fortune for?

Because I can.

Perhaps it has something to do with mycrazy goal of helping at least 1.000.000

people in becoming a better, stronger

and healthier version of themselves.

Starting with you ;).

So enough about me, we will hopefully bump into each other quite a few more

times on the forum and website and at the end of this ebook.

PS. Enjoy the meals! In case you haven’t downloaded The Bar Brother Starter

Guide yet, make sure to leave your email address here and I’ll send it to you!

Lean

Muscle GainMeal Plan For Optimal

Results







“The best diet is

the one you can

follow. Do what

works for you,

but stick to the

principles.”

Count Your Calories And Make Your Calories Count

Because Hormones Count Even More

So before I’m giving you any type of diet

advice you need to know that if we dumb

down the complete and complex process of

gaining or losing weight it basically boils downto a simple formula.

Energy Consumed – Energy Burned > 0

= Gaining Weight.

Energy Consumed – Energy Burned < 0

= Losing Weight

Energy Consumer – Energy Burned =

Maintaining Weight

I don’t care about how much protein or whey shakes you consume, I don’t care

about how much super supplements you take.

I don’t care about whether you are an endo, ecto, meso or whateverthemorph.

I don’t care about whether you like drawing stick figures with your 3-year old

nieces or whether you have 2 or 3 dogs or cats.

I do care about your total caloric intake however. Here is why:

You will NEVER gain a single gram of weight if your caloric intake is not where

you need it to be to gain weight.

You need to be in a caloric surplus. You need to consume more energy than

you burn. Want to know more? Check out my vlog and you’ll get an extra free

meal from me. In the 4 rules –which will be addressed in one of the next

chapters- I will shed light on how you can let your hormones count more.

Lean Muscle Gain Meal Plan For Natural Results

16 Hour Fast/8 Hour Eating

Note: Take note that this is a plan specifically aimed at gaining

weight and muscle and is not exhaustive by any means.

Drink 8am – 12pm: Prior to eating make sure you consume enough liquids. Tip:

10-15 minutes before your workout you can consume some black coffee. It’s agreat pre-workout booster. Don’t drink it too much however, but every now

and then. Read this blog for more information.

Meal 1 - 12pm: 2-3 Eggs1 boiled or baked in coconut oil with some spinach or

other green vegetables and a hand filled with almonds or mixed nuts.

1 or 2 glass(es) of tea or water with lime or lemon

Meal 2 – 3:00 pm: 1-2 cups of white rice or 2 sweet potatoes with 1-200 gramof chicken with cashew nuts and green vegetables with nuts2


Meal 3 – 6:00 pm: 1-2 cups of white rice or 2 sweet potatoes with 1-200 gram

of chicken with cashew nuts and green vegetables with nuts


Meal 4 – 8:00 pm: mixed berries with 1-2 apples topped with cinnamon and

sunflower seeds.

Note: Due to the high amount of nuts and carbs this meal will put most people

in a caloric surplus.

If you are not quite sure, make sure you start counting those calories.

1

Eggs should be eaten in moderation by most people, experiment.2 White rice is only recommendable if you really want to gain weight and are highly insulin sensitive. I

recommend skipping grains as much as possible if you are keen on cutting. See 4 simple rules.

Let’s start with the best part of this

short ebook.

Probably your favourite part, that

is…if you like eating ;).

If you aren’t a creative wizard in the

kitchen, don’t worry. If I can make

this you can too (I used to be highly skilled and specialized in burning my food).

I’ll share 3 of my favourite meals with you which are extremely easy to make,

almost impossible to ruin and…not expensive.

If you can make a cup of tea you can make these 3 exquisite meals.

prefer), add the chilli + sea salt and the cashew nuts.

Keep moving the chicken around the pan for another 3-5 minutes. Put the

chicken on top of the spinach (Optionally add other veggies).

The rice can be added depending on your goals, especially recommendable if

you are a hard gainer and want those muscles to grow!

3 If you are a vegan or vegetarian replace the 100-200 grams of chicken with mushrooms or beans.

How To Prepare Your Crazy Chicken Curry

Meal







Ingredients:

1-2 apples

1 hand of mixed fruits

½ teaspoon of cinnamon

1 hand of mixed nuts 1 lime

Slice the apples up in small pieces depending on how small you want it.

pieces of your lemon put them on the side of your plate.

How To Prepare Your Tasty Lemon Tuna

Meal







One extra recipe, just in case ;).

Just in case you don’t know how to make tea or a nice and

healthy drink. Take note that a lot of the ‘so called healthy fruit

juices’ are nothing more than sugary water, because all of the

fibers have been lost in the processing and quite often even have addedsugars. Which means you might as well drink lemonade. These juices are

detrimental to your progress, especially if you want to gain lean muscle. Either

don’t drink them or make your own smoothies which include the fibers4.

Ingredients:

1 cup of water (hot or cold)

1 lime

1 bag of tea (there are a lot of good tasting teas out there, just

experiment)

1 small piece of gingerroot (optionally)

Preparation:

Add water to your mug, squeeze some lime into it.

Slice up a bit of gingerroot (gives a nice after burn) and add the tea.

Water or tea (optionally all black coffee) can be consumed throughout the day.

More, if you plan on cutting your weight and really want to focus on burning

fat, you will need to have another dieting plan. Find more information here.

4 Simple Rules

How To Easily Improve Your Diet To Start Burning Fat

And Building Muscle Today

Since this is just a short PDF-document, I’m not going to give you a complete

explanation of why these rules work and the underlying mechanisms and

views. You can find more information in the articles and the Starter Guide.

Here are the 4 rules:

Rule 1: Get The Right Liquids

Only drink water or tea (occasionally all black coffee) to stay hydrated and

cleanse your body from toxins, skip the ‘so called healthy’ energy drinks and

juices (study, study, study, study, study).

These studies indicate that sport drinks contain tons of hidden sugars. Some

sport drinks and juices even contain a fair amount of 10 teaspoons of table

sugar, just as much as in a can of Coke. Well if that isn’t unhealthy, I don’t

know what is. Considering this fact, it’ s clearly a waste of money and time.

Coffee however has shown to increase the energy expenditure up to 11% which

is beneficial to fat loss in addition to other benefits. But if you drink too much

your body will become dependent and stopping abruptly will lead to

withdrawal. Making ‘good old water’ still by far the best liquid.

Rule 2: Cut Refined Sugars, Dairy & Most Grains

Cut refined sugars, dairy and most grains to prevent inflammation, keep your

insulin levels in check to burn fat and testosterone levels high to build muscle

(study, study, study, source, study, source).

http://www.mercola.com/article/carbohydrates/lower_your_grains.htm



















This one is going to blow your mind, because not only do people who drink milk

not have stronger bones than people who don’t , they actually have more

fractures and weaker bones, a higher risk of cancer and a higher risk of heart

failure. More, milk has shown to trigger type 1 diabetes in children (1200% risk

increase) by turning the immune system against itself and the list goes on and

on…Most grains are no better, showing to increase gut inflammation and high

insulin responses (especially in refined forms). Refined sugars don’t need an

explanation. Say goodbye to milk and refined sugars and be selective with

grains. Read what your doctor isn’t telling you about milk for more information.

Rule 3: Maintain An 8 Hour Window

Eat all your food within an 8 hour window to optimize your digestion,

supercharge your recovery and testosterone and anti-fragilize your body

(study, study, study).

Essentially what these three studies state is that by adhering to an intermittent

fasting schedule you increase your testosterone by 180%, that a 24 hour fastcan increase growth hormone levels up to 2000% while at the same time

activating the cellular process which removes toxins from your body and starts

repairs. Doesn’t sound bad does it?

Rule 4: Experiment With Fastened Training

Don’t eat foods which spike your insulin levels before your training, becauseit’s beneficial to burning fat and staying ripped (study, study).

What this boils down to is that training in a fastened state has shown to be

more potent than training in a fed state. The main benefits are derived from an

improved tolerance of glucose (sugar), an increase in insulin sensitivity even

while on a suboptimal diet and a higher activation of fat handling cells.

“Some people don’t

read, let alone

scientific studies. They

hardly know why they

eat food in the firstplace. And those are

the people who tell

you they know what

good nutrition is.”

Those were the 4 simple and highly controversial rules at least for most

people. Some of this information might feel like a lie since it challenges your

complete world view of healthy food.

It definitely felt that way for me, considering the fact that my favourite

breakfast early in the morning consisted of a cheese sandwich with a big glass

of milk for strong bones. In addition to that, before every training I made sure I

had a good meal for energy and a ‘healthy’ sports drink to stay hydrated during

my workouts. Wondering why you aren’t getting results? If your schedule is

similar you have your answer now.

I invite you to read through all the

articles and look at the research

methods and results. At first this

information might be a bit

overwhelming and you’ll probably need

to re-read it all before you can fully

grasp it. This is actually just the tip of the

iceberg, because things are far more

complex.

I’ll be honest, finding out about this

information felt like a slap in the face

for me and it probably feels the same for

you (Unless you like reading scientific

articles and don’t listen to people whodon’t know !@#$ about nutrition).

Just beware of people who say you ‘just have to eat a balanced diet’ or that

they have ‘a grandma or uncle who reached 90 while smoking and drinking

heavily’, because they are confusing the exceptional 3% of people with the

majority which consist of the other 97%. And even that exceptional 3% will

never get the results you want. At least now you know a bit more of the truth,

which should be well worth giving your nutritional ego a black eye (Sorry).

Final Word

Just Before You Go

Running To Do The

Groceries







“Always keep an

open mind, but

not so open that

your brains fall

out. That would

be kind of silly.”

Final Word

Just Before You Go Running To Do The Groceries

One final note: ‘Never follow any advice blindly and follow those who walk the

talk ’.

Always question everything, including my advice. I’m definitely not someone

who holds the gospel truth to anything, but I’m not going to recommend yousomething I don’t believe in 100% and haven’t been doing myself successfully.

As I mentioned in the introduction, there is a

gigantic ocean of dieting advice out there and

I’ve almost drowned a few times in that ocean

of complex and contradicting information to

be completely honest and the same will

happen to you as you embark on this journeyto optimal health and muscle growth.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

On the other hand it has given me and will

give you a lot of scientific insights into what

works and what doesn’t work (Just make sure

you learn how to swim or use this ebook as a life vest).

That being said, this meal plan will provide you with general rules which you

can use and upon which you can individualize your own meal plan if you wish

to do so.

No body is the same and nobody is the same, so feel free to individualize or

add/remove ingredients as you wish. The best diet is still the one that works

for you.







“The only way to truly

find out if anything really

works is to try it out foryourself. And if you don’t

find out, you might

eventually pay the high

price of not knowing.”

Just like you I’m looking for better ways to develop myself, get more out of my

health and physical abilities and I’m improving and finding better ways every

day.

That’s why I recommend you to

make use of this information.

Don’t just leave this PDF in the

dust collecting part of your

pc/laptop/phone, where most

diet plans end up, because this

meal plan -if applied correctly

in combination with

calisthenics- will without a

doubt change your results

indefinitely.

IT WORKS and there is science

to back it up.

Still, it has probably left you with some ‘whys’.

That’s why I challenge you to read through the blog posts on this topic to find

out why this stuff works, why I recommend it to all my friends, students and

brothers and why they have been getting great results.

Now it’s your turn to get the results you deserve.

Beast Mode ON!

Frequently

AskedQuestions







Frequently Asked Questions

Q 1: I still want to enjoy life and have the food I like, do I really need to stick

to this to get results?

Of course you don’ t need to stick to this, but you will pay the price sooner or

later. Just don’t confuse healthy food with bad tasting food. Food act ually

becomes even better, because your taste improves as you shift to non-

processed foods. Due to the health benefits and better taste not only can youenjoy your food more, but also for a longer time. In addition, if you want to lose

either fat or build muscle, your hormonal system needs to be in balance and

that’s exactly what bad nutrition is detrimental to. In the end, I’m not here to

force you to do anything. It’s your body and your life, but the pr oof is in the

pudding. Experiment, it’s all about what works for you.

Q 2: I’ve been using dairy my entire life, should I really skip all the dairy

products?

Even though I’ve only mentioned a few studies, there are tons and tons more.

Just Google articles about milk and diabetes or cancer. Make sure you read

independent resources, because there are a lot of dairy companies who don’t

want you to know this. There are millions of dollars involved in the dairy

industry and for them their money is more important than the truth. I however

have not earned a single penny by handing you this free ebook, so I don’t have

a reason to lie to you, neither do the scientist who did independent studies do.

Basically, there is not a single reason why you should drink or consume dairy

products other than wanting to have an increased risk of illnesses such as:

cancer, acne, diabetes, arthritis and the list goes on and on. Stick to greens for

calcium instead. Then again, do what feels best for you.







Q 3: I’ve always eaten bread and pasta and love my cereals for breakfast, I

really don’t want to stop eating those, what can I do?

I didn’t say it would be easy, but I can definitely say it will be worth it. In any

case what you want to start off with is by cutting the refined grains. These

grain products usually even have added sugars which make matters worse. The

issue with whole grains however, is that they have an inflammatory effect on

the gut and your immune system, specifically due to the lectins which seem like

your own proteins, but which your body can’t digest and therefore tries to get

rid of. In the process however, it also attacks itself. Some people are more

sensitive than others. More, you know the after dinner dip? That’s because notonly do grains have an inflammatory effect, they also raise your insulin levels

significantly, in the process causing an energy drop after you are done with

eating. So either you raise your insulin or you irritate your gut. Replace your

grains, with fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, it makes for a good breakfast.

But individualize and experiment. Find what works best for you.

Q 4: I really want to do this, but I don’t know if I have the discipline. Am I

allowed to cheat every now and then?

I’ll never be a teacher who is standing behind you and watching you to see if

you are doing your homework correctly. It’s all about doing what you want to

do. So again, of course you can cheat. It’s all about doing what works for you.

For some people the reward is a cheat meal, for other people the rewards are

purely in the results they have.






“ Genes alone do not determine whether you are skinny, fat or

muscular. Genes alone do not determine whether you can or cannot

do a scorpion stand, pull up or push up. Genes function only by being

activated or expressed and the nutrition you choose to put into your

body plays a critical role in determining which genes, good or bad

you allow to be expressed.”
