Monday · No scheduled workout
With no workout scheduled, Luke still has a full day of food to support his goal to build. Protein and fat targets stay steady; carbohydrate rises on his training days.
Water at wake starts the day’s hydration before breakfast. The plan begins with a morning glass and continues with several smaller occasions, so fluid has a place from the start of Luke’s day.
Water
600 ml
Why at this time?
This drink is placed at Luke’s 06:00 wake time, an hour before breakfast at 07:00.
How is the water spread out?
The first glass is 600 ml. Another 400 ml follows at 06:35, with the morning’s water divided across several drinks.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Breakfast Water
This drink is placed before breakfast, keeping water separate from the meal while continuing the early hydration. It follows the first glass on waking and comes before the oats, yogurt and banana.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
This 400 ml drink comes 25 minutes before breakfast at 07:00.
What is its place in the morning?
It follows the water on waking. The next 500 ml is scheduled for 07:25, after breakfast, spreading the morning’s fluid across both sides of the meal.
Why this, why now?
Greek Yogurt Overnight Oats with Banana
Greek yogurt brings protein for muscle repair, while oats and banana supply the morning’s carbohydrate. Walnuts add fat and fibre to a substantial breakfast intended to carry Luke into the morning, even without a workout scheduled.

Why at this time?
Breakfast is placed an hour after Luke’s saved 06:00 wake time. It starts the day’s protein feeds after the overnight fast, with a smaller snack before lunch.
Why these foods?
Greek yogurt brings protein to support muscle repair after the overnight gap, while oats and banana provide carbohydrate for the morning ahead. Oats also bring fibre, and walnuts add fat to help make this a satisfying breakfast. KEXBI brings those roles together through the calculated portions of Luke’s preferred pantry foods.
Why this balance?
Protein is spread across the ordinary day, rather than reserved for training. Breakfast also takes a substantial share of the day’s carbohydrate and fat; all four ingredients contribute to the finished totals.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading
Water just after breakfast continues the early hydration allocation. Getting more of the day’s fluid into the morning leaves less to fit in as the evening approaches.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
This 500 ml drink is placed 25 minutes after the 07:00 breakfast. Another morning drink follows at 08:15.
Why more earlier?
Luke’s plan puts much of his routine water in the morning and reduces it towards bedtime, rather than leaving a large amount to drink late.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
A further morning drink keeps water spread between breakfast and the snack. The plan’s intent is steady hydration through the morning, with smaller drinks later in the day.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
The 500 ml drink comes 50 minutes after the previous one. A smaller 350 ml follows at 09:05.
How does it fit the day?
It is part of the early water allocation. The afternoon and evening use smaller top-ups as the plan approaches Luke’s 23:30 bedtime.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
This smaller top-up continues the early allocation before lunchtime. Luke’s routine water is being spread across the morning, rather than saved for a large drink later.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
It comes 50 minutes after the 08:15 drink, with water before the snack next at 10:00.
Why spread these drinks out?
The saved plan shares morning hydration across separate occasions, so the day’s fluid is not concentrated into one large drink or left until evening.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water
Water comes before the morning snack, continuing hydration between meals. The 400 ml drink has its own place before the boiled egg and rice cake at 10:25.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
The 400 ml drink is saved for 10:00, 25 minutes before the snack at 10:25.
What comes next?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 13:20, before lunch. This drink finishes the morning sequence before that longer gap.
Why this, why now?
Boiled Egg on Rice Cake
A boiled egg brings protein between breakfast and lunch, with a rice cake providing a small carbohydrate top-up. The snack breaks up the long gap between the main meals without becoming another large meal.
Energy
130 kcal
Protein
8 g
Carbohydrate
13 g
Fat
5 g
Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between the 07:00 breakfast and lunch at 13:45. The saved plan places protein between the larger meals.
Why these foods?
The egg adds protein to continue supporting muscle repair between breakfast and lunch. The rice cake supplies a small carbohydrate top-up, making this a simple mixed snack for the gap before his next main meal.
Why this balance?
This is a small mixed snack within an ordinary day. Its protein complements the larger feeds at breakfast and lunch, while the carbohydrate adds some energy between them.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Lunch Water
Water is placed before the chicken, asparagus and quinoa lunch. It carries hydration from the morning into the midday meal, before the afternoon’s next top-up.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
This 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before lunch at 13:45.
How does it fit the afternoon?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 16:45, before the afternoon snack. The plan continues with smaller drinks later in the day.
Why this, why now?
Pan-Seared Chicken Breast with Asparagus and Quinoa
Chicken and quinoa continue the day’s protein for muscle repair. Quinoa also brings carbohydrate, while avocado adds fat and asparagus adds vegetables to a lunch intended to sustain the afternoon.
Energy
857 kcal
Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
94 g
Fat

Why at this time?
Lunch sits between the morning snack and the 17:10 afternoon snack, continuing protein through the day alongside a substantial meal.
Why these foods?
Chicken provides protein for ongoing muscle repair, while quinoa supplies carbohydrate and fibre for the afternoon ahead. Asparagus adds more fibre, and avocado contributes fat to help make lunch satisfying. Together they form a substantial midday meal on a day when recovery and everyday fuelling still matter.
Why this balance?
The planned lunch keeps protein prominent while sharing the day’s carbohydrate and fat with breakfast and dinner. Ingredient amounts are worked out together so this becomes one complete plate.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water Top-Up
The afternoon top-up continues hydration before the evening taper. It sits just before Luke’s prawns and olives on toast, with the final scheduled water getting smaller later.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before the snack at 17:10.
Why ahead of the evening?
Luke’s plan begins reducing routine fluid around 20:30. This earlier top-up leaves the final scheduled drink at 21:00 smaller, at 200 ml.
Why this, why now?
Prawns and Olives on Wholemeal Toast
Prawns provide a lean protein contribution in the gap before dinner. Wholemeal bread adds carbohydrate and fibre, while olives add fat, making a small mixed snack rather than leaving all the evening’s food until dinner.
Energy
136 kcal
Protein
11 g
Carbohydrate
13 g
Fat
5 g
Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between lunch at 13:45 and dinner at 20:30. Its protein feed is part of the plan’s distribution between larger meals.
Why these foods?
Prawns add lean protein between the day’s main meals, while wholemeal toast supplies carbohydrate and fibre. Olives contribute fat, giving this small afternoon snack a mix intended to support fullness during the gap before dinner.
Why this balance?
Protein, carbohydrate and a little fat are combined between the main meals. The portion is much smaller than lunch or dinner, matching its role as an afternoon snack.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Dinner Water
Water before dinner is the last main routine drink ahead of the evening taper. The plan then steps down to a smaller drink at 21:00 as bedtime approaches.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before dinner at 20:30, when the plan’s fluid taper begins.
Why reduce fluid later?
The final scheduled drink is 200 ml at 21:00, two and a half hours before Luke’s 23:30 bedtime. The aim is to avoid leaving a large drink close to sleep.
Why this, why now?
Spiced Beef Mince with Broccoli and Pasta
Beef contributes protein for ongoing muscle repair through the evening. Pasta supplies carbohydrate, with broccoli and avocado oil completing the plate before the later dairy feed.
Energy

Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
56 g
Fat
18 g
Why at this time?
Dinner is placed at 20:30, three hours before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The main meal is followed by a separate dairy protein feed later in the evening.
Why these foods?
Beef supplies protein to support ongoing muscle repair through the evening, and pasta supplies carbohydrate for Luke’s daily energy needs. Broccoli brings fibre and avocado oil adds fat, completing a mixed evening meal that keeps both fuelling and recovery in the plan on an ordinary day.
Why this balance?
The dinner allocation contains less carbohydrate and fat than lunch. Its saved carbohydrate is below that allocation; the finished dish and the requested amounts are shown separately.
Why this, why now?
Evening Wind-Down
A smaller glass closes the day’s scheduled water. By placing most fluid earlier, the plan aims to avoid a large drink near Luke’s bedtime and the extra bathroom trips it can bring.
Water
200 ml
Why at this time?
This 200 ml drink is at 21:00, two and a half hours before Luke’s saved bedtime of 23:30.
Why keep it smaller?
The plan is tapering routine water after 20:30. A smaller finish is intended to reduce the need for a large drink near bedtime; it does not promise uninterrupted sleep.
Why this, why now?
Cottage Cheese with Greek Yogurt
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt add dairy protein before bed. Their casein provides a slower-digesting protein source for the overnight period, as a separate feed from dinner.
Energy
241 kcal
Protein

Carbohydrate
9 g
Fat

Why at this time?
It is placed at 22:00, after dinner at 20:30 and before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The separate dairy feed spreads planned protein into the evening.
Why these foods?
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt contain casein, a milk protein that is digested gradually. The combination supplies protein for the long overnight gap, which is why it sits before bed after the day’s main meals.
Why this balance?
The saved plan uses this extra feed to place protein that was not allocated within the main meals. It also carries a small remaining carbohydrate allocation from the day.

Why this, why now?
Pre-Workout Water
Water begins at the suggested wake time, before Luke’s early run. Starting with this drink gives hydration a place before the honey and the smaller top-up closer to the start.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
This 400 ml drink is placed at 05:15, 45 minutes before the 06:00 run and 15 minutes before the honey.
Why split the water?
Another 250 ml is scheduled for 05:40. The plan divides pre-run fluid between waking and a smaller drink nearer the session.
Why this, why now?
Raw Honey
Honey provides carbohydrate with no fat in the saved portion, thirty minutes before Luke’s early run. The aim is to put a small amount of readily available fuel close to the start, with a fuller protein meal afterwards.
Energy
136 kcal
Protein
0 g
Carbohydrate
34 g
Fat
0 g
Why at this time?
Honey is placed thirty minutes before the 06:00 run and fifteen minutes after the suggested wake time. The short interval calls for a small pre-run feed.
Why these foods?
Honey supplies readily available carbohydrate with almost no fat or fibre. That makes it a practical source of fuel in the short gap before Luke’s run, when a larger mixed breakfast would take longer to digest.
Why this balance?
Carbohydrate takes priority in this short pre-run window. The saved portion contains almost no protein; the yogurt meal after the run supplies a substantial protein feed.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Run Top-Up
A smaller drink tops up the earlier water as the run approaches. It follows the honey and completes the scheduled pre-run fluid before the 06:00 start.
Water
250 ml
Why at this time?
The 250 ml top-up is 20 minutes before the run, after 400 ml on waking at 05:15.
What follows the session?
The run ends at 06:30, when 500 ml is scheduled for rehydration. The pre-run top-up is one part of that before-and-after pattern.
Why this, why now?
Post-Run Rehydration
Water at the finish begins replacing fluid lost during the run. It comes before the yogurt and banana, giving fluid and food separate places in the recovery sequence.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
This 500 ml drink is at the run’s 06:30 finish. The post-run meal follows at 06:45.
Why both water and food?
The water addresses fluid after the session. The yogurt and banana bring protein and carbohydrate into the meal that follows.
Why this, why now?
Greek Yogurt with Banana
Greek yogurt supplies protein for muscle repair, while banana brings carbohydrate to refuel after the run. Together they turn the post-run allocation into a simple breakfast with little fat.
Energy
301 kcal
Protein
37 g
Carbohydrate
34 g
Fat

Why at this time?
The meal is saved for fifteen minutes after the run ends at 06:30, combining food for refuelling and muscle repair before the rest of the day.
Why these foods?
Fat-free Greek yogurt supplies protein for muscle repair after the run, while banana brings carbohydrate to help replace the fuel used during it. The pairing puts both recovery needs into breakfast while keeping fat low; banana and cinnamon also give the yogurt sweetness and flavour.
Why this balance?
The post-run allocation pairs protein and carbohydrate, with fat kept low. The timing is part of Luke’s saved schedule, rather than a deadline after which recovery stops.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water
Water resumes between the post-run breakfast and the morning snack. It carries hydration from the early session into the rest of Luke’s day, alongside his food.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
The 400 ml drink comes 25 minutes before the 10:15 snack of prawns and avocado on rice cakes.
What follows?
Another 450 ml is scheduled at 10:40. Routine water continues through the morning after the earlier run-related drinks.
Why this, why now?
Prawns and Avocado on Rice Cakes
Rice cakes, tomato and yellow pepper add carbohydrate as Tuesday’s higher fuel requirement continues beyond the run. Prawns contribute protein and avocado adds fat to the morning snack.
Energy
524 kcal
Protein
19 g
Carbohydrate
94 g
Fat

Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between the 06:45 post-run meal and lunch at 13:45. The saved plan places protein between the larger meals.
Why these foods?
Rice cakes provide most of the carbohydrate needed to continue refuelling beyond the post-run breakfast. Prawns add lean protein, while tomato and pepper contribute fibre and variety. Avocado adds fat to make this a more sustaining mixed snack in the gap before lunch.
Why this balance?
This snack carries far more carbohydrate than Monday’s small egg snack, reflecting the different training day. The saved portion delivers less carbohydrate than its calculated allocation, which remains visible below.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading
This drink keeps more of the routine water early in the day after the morning run. Hydration continues beyond the session, with separate drinks around the later food.
Water
450 ml
Why at this time?
The 450 ml drink is 25 minutes after the 10:15 snack. Another 450 ml follows at 11:35.
Why continue after the run?
The 06:30 water addressed the finish of the session. These later drinks carry routine hydration through the rest of the day, before the evening taper.
Why this, why now?
Late Morning Hydration
Another drink keeps hydration spread through the morning into midday. It sits between two other routine water occasions rather than concentrating the fluid in one large amount.
Water
450 ml
Why at this time?
This 450 ml drink comes 55 minutes after the 10:40 water. Another 450 ml follows at 12:25.
How does it fit the day?
The plan puts more routine water earlier, after the morning run, while leaving smaller drinks for the evening.
Why this, why now?
Early Afternoon Hydration
Water continues before lunch as the morning hydration moves into the afternoon. This drink is followed by a smaller glass nearer the meal, splitting the fluid rather than leaving it all until eating.
Water
450 ml
Why at this time?
This 450 ml drink is at 12:25, one hour and 20 minutes before the 13:45 lunch.
Why a separate drink before lunch?
Another 350 ml is saved for 13:20. Together the two occasions spread fluid across the lead-up to the meal.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Lunch Water
The smaller pre-lunch glass continues hydration ahead of the chicken, quinoa and broccoli. It follows the earlier midday water and gives fluid a place just before the meal.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
This 350 ml drink is 25 minutes before lunch at 13:45.
What comes next?
A smaller 200 ml drink follows at 15:00, carrying routine hydration into the afternoon after lunch.
Why this, why now?
Pan-Fried Chicken with Quinoa and Broccoli
Luke’s lunch requirements become calculated amounts of chicken, quinoa, broccoli and avocado oil. Chicken and quinoa contribute protein, quinoa carries carbohydrate, and the Chef crafts those ingredients into a dish seasoned from his pantry.
Energy
1,000 kcal
Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
115 g
Fat
38 g
Why at this time?
Lunch sits between the morning snack and the 17:10 afternoon snack, continuing protein through the day alongside a substantial meal.
Why these foods?
Chicken provides lean protein for ongoing muscle repair, while quinoa brings carbohydrate and fibre to continue refuelling after the morning run. Broccoli adds vegetables and fibre, and avocado oil supplies fat. The combination makes this a substantial lunch intended to sustain the afternoon while meeting the training day’s higher energy needs.
Why this balance?
Tuesday’s higher carbohydrate requirement reaches beyond the food around the run. Lunch carries a larger carbohydrate allocation than Monday’s, with protein and fat worked into the same plate.
How it becomes a meal
KEXBI calculates the amounts of foods Luke prefers and usually stocks. The Chef uses those ingredients and quantities, with his tastes and kitchen in mind, to craft the pan-fried chicken dish.
Why this, why now?
Afternoon Hydration
A smaller drink continues hydration after lunch. It bridges the midday water and the later afternoon top-up, with fluid still planned alongside Luke’s food.
Water
200 ml
Why at this time?
This 200 ml drink is at 15:00, one hour and 15 minutes after lunch.
How does it fit the afternoon?
Another 350 ml comes at 16:45, before the 17:10 snack. The afternoon fluid is shared between these separate occasions.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water Top-Up
Water tops up the afternoon hydration before Luke’s scrambled eggs on toast. It carries fluid towards the evening while the later drinks get smaller near bedtime.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink is 25 minutes before the 17:10 snack.
Why ahead of the evening?
The plan reduces routine fluid from around 20:30 and finishes with 200 ml at 21:00. This afternoon water comes before that taper.
Why this, why now?
Scrambled Eggs on Wholemeal Toast
Eggs and wholemeal toast provide protein and carbohydrate to bridge the gap to dinner. The bread contributes fibre, and the whole egg adds protein and fat, making a small afternoon meal alongside the day’s larger feeds.

Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between lunch at 13:45 and dinner at 20:30. Its protein feed is part of the plan’s distribution between larger meals.
Why these foods?
Eggs supply complete protein for muscle repair. Wholemeal bread provides carbohydrate for energy, with fibre that helps make the snack more filling; the yolk adds fat too. That mix is intended to sustain Luke through afternoon tasks until his 20:30 dinner, with a small protein feed between the main meals.
Why this balance?
This is a modest protein and carbohydrate feed between lunch and dinner. The egg supplies fat as part of the food, while the wholemeal bread adds fibre to the carbohydrate portion.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Dinner Water
Water before dinner begins the transition to the smaller evening finish. Luke’s earlier run and routine daytime drinks have already given fluid several places through the day.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
This 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before dinner at 20:30, when the routine fluid taper begins.
What happens near bedtime?
The final scheduled water is 200 ml at 21:00, two and a half hours before the saved 23:30 bedtime.
Why this, why now?
Beef Patty with Asparagus Pasta
Beef supplies complete protein and zinc, with pasta contributing to the training day’s carbohydrate. Asparagus and avocado oil complete the evening meal, carrying more of the day’s food beyond the early run.
Energy

Protein
51 g
Carbohydrate

Why at this time?
Dinner is placed at 20:30, three hours before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The main meal is followed by a separate dairy protein feed later in the evening.
Why these foods?
Beef supplies complete protein for ongoing muscle repair, while pasta contributes to the day’s higher carbohydrate needs after the morning run. Asparagus adds fibre and avocado oil adds fat, making a mixed evening meal intended to satisfy hunger as well as replenish fuel.
Why this balance?
Dinner carries a substantial protein allocation alongside carbohydrate and fat. Its fat contribution is larger than lunch’s; the morning’s low-fat fuelling does not make the whole day low-fat.
Why this, why now?
Evening Wind-Down
The final scheduled water closes the routine hydration sequence with a smaller amount. The day’s larger drinks have been placed earlier, including before and after the morning run.
Water
200 ml
Why at this time?
The 200 ml drink is at 21:00, after the plan’s 20:30 taper point and two and a half hours before bedtime.
Why keep it smaller?
The intent is to reduce large drinks near sleep. This is the end of the saved water schedule, rather than a claim that Luke cannot be thirsty later.
Why this, why now?
Cottage Cheese with Greek Yogurt
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt add dairy protein before bed. Their casein provides a slower-digesting protein source for the overnight period, as a separate feed from dinner.

Why at this time?
It is placed at 22:15, after dinner at 20:30 and before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The separate dairy feed spreads planned protein into the evening.
Why these foods?
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are chosen for their casein, a protein that is digested more slowly. Together they extend protein intake into the overnight period, supporting muscle repair while Luke goes several hours without eating.
Why this balance?
The saved plan uses this extra feed to place protein that was not allocated within the main meals. It also carries a small remaining carbohydrate allocation from the day.

Why this, why now?
Morning Hydration
This first glass begins replacing fluid after waking. Starting at 06:00 gives water a place before breakfast, with the rest of the morning’s drinks spread around Luke’s food.
Water
600 ml
Why at this time?
This drink is placed at Luke’s 06:00 wake time, an hour before breakfast at 07:00.
How is the water spread out?
The first glass is 600 ml. Another 400 ml follows at 06:35, with the morning’s water divided across several drinks.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Breakfast Water
Water before breakfast continues the early hydration allocation. It is placed before Luke’s egg and avocado bagel with yogurt, followed by another drink after the meal.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
This 400 ml drink comes 25 minutes before breakfast at 07:00.
What is its place in the morning?
It follows the water on waking. The next 500 ml is scheduled for 07:25, after breakfast, spreading the morning’s fluid across both sides of the meal.
Why this, why now?
Egg and Avocado on Bagel with Greek Yogurt
Eggs and Greek yogurt bring protein into the morning to support repair after recent training. Bagel and fruit provide carbohydrate, while avocado adds fat to the mixed breakfast.

Protein

Carbohydrate

Why at this time?
Breakfast is placed an hour after Luke’s saved 06:00 wake time. It starts the day’s protein feeds after the overnight fast, with a smaller snack before lunch.
Why these foods?
Eggs and Greek yogurt provide protein to support muscle repair, while the bagel, banana and blueberries supply carbohydrate after the overnight gap. Avocado adds fat and the fruit adds fibre, helping make this a substantial mixed breakfast. That combination supports both Luke’s morning fuelling and his continuing recovery on a day without a scheduled workout.
Why this balance?
The day has no scheduled workout, but protein remains spread across the meals. Breakfast takes a substantial carbohydrate and fat allocation, with the combined foods supplying the finished totals.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading
The drink after breakfast keeps more of the routine hydration early in the day. Several morning drinks carry the fluid allocation forward before the smaller evening finish.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
This 500 ml drink is placed 25 minutes after the 07:00 breakfast. Another morning drink follows at 08:15.
Why more earlier?
Luke’s plan puts much of his routine water in the morning and reduces it towards bedtime, rather than leaving a large amount to drink late.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
Another morning drink continues the plan’s early allocation. Water is spread across the day, with much of it already scheduled before the evening begins.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
The 500 ml drink comes 50 minutes after the previous one. A smaller 350 ml follows at 09:05.
How does it fit the day?
It is part of the early water allocation. The afternoon and evening use smaller top-ups as the plan approaches Luke’s 23:30 bedtime.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
A smaller top-up keeps water spaced through the morning between meals. It follows the larger 08:15 drink and comes ahead of the next water and snack.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
It comes 50 minutes after the 08:15 drink, with water before the snack next at 10:00.
Why spread these drinks out?
The saved plan shares morning hydration across separate occasions, so the day’s fluid is not concentrated into one large drink or left until evening.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water
This drink continues hydration before the prawns and olives on rice cakes. Water and the snack are separate moments in the plan, with most routine fluid still placed earlier in the day.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
The 400 ml drink is saved for 10:00, 25 minutes before the snack at 10:25.
What comes next?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 13:20, before lunch. This drink finishes the morning sequence before that longer gap.
Why this, why now?
Prawns and Olives on Rice Cakes
Prawns contribute lean protein between breakfast and lunch. A rice cake supplies a small carbohydrate top-up, with olives providing fat in a snack intended to cover the gap between the larger meals.
Energy
125 kcal
Protein
9 g
Carbohydrate
13 g
Fat
4 g
Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between the 07:00 breakfast and lunch at 13:45. The saved plan places protein between the larger meals.
Why these foods?
Prawns supply lean protein to continue the day’s muscle-repair support between main meals. Rice cakes add carbohydrate and olives add fat, bringing a small amount of both fuel and substance to the gap before lunch.
Why this balance?
This is a small mixed feed on an ordinary day. It adds protein between the main meals without carrying their larger energy allocation.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Lunch Water
Water before lunch bridges the morning’s drinks and the afternoon. It is placed ahead of the spiced chicken and quinoa salad, with another smaller top-up later.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
This 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before lunch at 13:45.
How does it fit the afternoon?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 16:45, before the afternoon snack. The plan continues with smaller drinks later in the day.
Why this, why now?
Spiced Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Chicken and quinoa continue the day’s regular protein feeds for muscle repair. Quinoa also contributes carbohydrate and fibre, with kale, tomato and avocado oil building out the lunch.
Energy
857 kcal
Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
95 g
Fat
31 g
Why at this time?
Lunch sits between the morning snack and the 17:10 afternoon snack, continuing protein through the day alongside a substantial meal.
Why these foods?
Chicken provides protein for ongoing muscle repair, with quinoa supplying carbohydrate and fibre for the afternoon. Kale and tomatoes add more fibre, while avocado oil supplies fat to help make the meal satisfying. This combination keeps lunch substantial and continues Luke’s regular protein intake across the day.
Why this balance?
Lunch combines substantial protein with carbohydrate and fat for the afternoon. Its quinoa and oil amounts are calculated alongside the chicken, rather than leaving the nutrition to a standard serving size.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water Top-Up
A measured afternoon top-up keeps water spread through Luke’s day. It comes before the yogurt and blueberries, rather than leaving the remaining fluid until the evening.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before the snack at 17:10.
Why ahead of the evening?
Luke’s plan begins reducing routine fluid around 20:30. This earlier top-up leaves the final scheduled drink at 21:00 smaller, at 200 ml.
Why this, why now?
Greek Yogurt with Blueberries
Greek yogurt brings another protein feed between lunch and dinner, with blueberries adding a small amount of carbohydrate. The portion keeps protein distributed through the afternoon without becoming a second lunch.
Energy
113 kcal
Protein
16 g
Carbohydrate
11 g
Fat
1 g
Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between lunch at 13:45 and dinner at 20:30. Its protein feed is part of the plan’s distribution between larger meals.
Why these foods?
Greek yogurt supplies protein to support muscle repair between lunch and dinner. Blueberries add carbohydrate, fibre and fruit flavour, making this a small dairy-and-fruit snack that continues his protein intake through the afternoon gap.
Why this balance?
The snack is mainly protein with some carbohydrate and very little fat. Larger carbohydrate and fat portions remain in the day’s main meals.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Dinner Water
The pre-dinner drink marks the approach to the evening taper. The next water is smaller as the plan works towards Luke’s saved bedtime.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before dinner at 20:30, when the plan’s fluid taper begins.
Why reduce fluid later?
The final scheduled drink is 200 ml at 21:00, two and a half hours before Luke’s 23:30 bedtime. The aim is to avoid leaving a large drink close to sleep.
Why this, why now?
Spiced Beef Mince with Pasta and Broccoli
Beef contributes protein to the evening’s muscle repair, while pasta provides carbohydrate. Broccoli and avocado oil complete a mixed dinner before the separate pre-bed dairy feed.
Energy
621 kcal
Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
67 g
Fat
17 g
Why at this time?
Dinner is placed at 20:30, three hours before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The main meal is followed by a separate dairy protein feed later in the evening.
Why these foods?
Beef provides protein for continuing muscle repair into the evening, while pasta supplies carbohydrate to meet the day’s fuelling needs. Broccoli contributes fibre and avocado oil adds fat, making this a balanced main meal before the smaller dairy serving later in the evening.
Why this balance?
Dinner carries less carbohydrate and fat than lunch while keeping a similar amount of protein. That is how the evening meal fits the distribution across this ordinary day.
Why this, why now?
Evening Wind-Down
The final scheduled glass is smaller as bedtime approaches. The plan places most water earlier so a large late drink is less likely to be needed.
Water
200 ml
Why at this time?
This 200 ml drink is at 21:00, two and a half hours before Luke’s saved bedtime of 23:30.
Why keep it smaller?
The plan is tapering routine water after 20:30. A smaller finish is intended to reduce the need for a large drink near bedtime; it does not promise uninterrupted sleep.
Why this, why now?
Cottage Cheese with Greek Yogurt
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt add dairy protein before bed. Their casein provides a slower-digesting protein source for the overnight period, as a separate feed from dinner.
Energy
241 kcal
Protein
34 g
Carbohydrate
9 g
Fat
6 g
Why at this time?
It is placed at 22:00, after dinner at 20:30 and before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The separate dairy feed spreads planned protein into the evening.
Why these foods?
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt contain casein, a milk protein that is digested gradually. The combination supplies protein for the long overnight gap, which is why it sits before bed after the day’s main meals.
Why this balance?
The saved plan uses this extra feed to place protein that was not allocated within the main meals. It also carries a small remaining carbohydrate allocation from the day.

Why this, why now?
Morning Hydration
Water on waking starts the routine hydration before a day with evening kickboxing. The plan begins replacing fluid after the night, then adds session-related drinks later.
Water
600 ml
Why at this time?
This 600 ml drink is placed at Luke’s 06:00 wake time, an hour before breakfast.
Why start before the evening session?
Routine hydration belongs to the whole day. Additional drinks are placed around the 19:35 kickboxing session rather than postponing water until training.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Breakfast Water
Water before breakfast continues the early hydration. It has its own place before the eggs, toast and yogurt, with more routine water through the morning and session-related drinks later.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink is 25 minutes before breakfast at 07:00.
How does it fit the morning?
It follows 600 ml on waking. The next scheduled water is 450 ml at 08:15, spreading fluid around the meal.
Why this, why now?
Eggs on Toast with Greek Yogurt
Eggs and Greek yogurt start Thursday’s protein feeds, while banana, apple juice and wholemeal bread supply carbohydrate ahead of the evening’s kickboxing. Avocado brings fat into the mixed breakfast.

Why at this time?
Breakfast is placed an hour after Luke’s saved 06:00 wake time. It starts the day’s protein feeds after the overnight fast, with a smaller snack before lunch.
Why these foods?
Eggs and Greek yogurt provide protein for muscle repair, while bread, banana and apple juice supply carbohydrate for the day ahead. Avocado and full-fat yogurt add fat to a substantial breakfast, well before the evening workout calls for lighter pre-session food.
Why this balance?
Food for the evening session begins earlier in the day. Breakfast carries carbohydrate and fat as part of a full meal, with lower-fat fuelling closer to kickboxing.
Why this, why now?
Morning Water
This drink continues routine hydration during the morning, well before kickboxing. The plan gives everyday fluid its own schedule alongside the extra drinks around the evening effort.
Water
450 ml
Why at this time?
The 450 ml drink is placed between breakfast at 07:00 and the water ahead of the 10:25 snack.
What changes for training?
Later water is placed before, during and near the end of kickboxing. This morning drink is part of the everyday hydration before those session-specific occasions.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water
Water before the yogurt and blueberry snack continues the early hydration. It keeps routine fluid moving through the day before the extra water around kickboxing.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink is 25 minutes before the 10:25 snack.
What comes next?
Another 350 ml is scheduled before lunch at 13:20, followed by the larger pre-kickboxing drink in the afternoon.
Why this, why now?
Greek Yogurt and Blueberries on Rice Cakes
Greek yogurt, rice cakes, blueberries and honey provide a carbohydrate-rich snack on the week’s highest-carbohydrate day. Yogurt adds protein while the combination keeps fat low.

Protein

Carbohydrate

Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between the 07:00 breakfast and lunch at 13:45. The saved plan places protein between the larger meals.
Why these foods?
Fat-free yogurt contributes protein between the main meals; rice cakes, honey and blueberries add carbohydrate for a day with evening kickboxing. These foods supply substantial carbohydrate with very little fat, helping build the day’s fuel while the richer main meals carry more of its fat.
Why this balance?
The large carbohydrate contribution is part of Thursday’s overall training-day requirement. Little fat is included in this snack; the day’s main meals carry more of it.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Lunch Water
Water ahead of lunch carries routine hydration into the afternoon before kickboxing. It sits alongside the midday food, ahead of the larger pre-session drink.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before the 13:45 chicken, rice and peppers.
What comes next for training?
The next water is 600 ml at 15:35, four hours before kickboxing. The plan starts building the session’s fluid well before the start.
Why this, why now?
Paprika Chicken with Brown Rice and Peppers
Chicken and brown rice make a substantial midday meal ahead of evening kickboxing. Chicken and rice contribute protein, rice carries carbohydrate, and avocado oil and olives supply fat for the afternoon.

Protein

Why at this time?
Lunch comes before the 17:35 shake and the 19:35 kickboxing start. It supplies part of the evening training day’s food well before the session.
Why these foods?
Chicken supplies lean protein for muscle repair, while brown rice provides carbohydrate for the afternoon and evening training. Pepper adds fibre, and avocado oil and olives provide fat, making this a substantial mixed meal well before the lighter pre-session food.
Why this balance?
Lunch contributes to the higher-carbohydrate day while carrying a significant share of its fat. The later shake has a different balance, with very little fat as the session approaches.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Kickboxing Hydration
The larger afternoon drink begins the pre-kickboxing hydration well before the start. Smaller top-ups follow, so Luke’s pre-session fluid is spread over the lead-up rather than left to one drink at the door.
Water
600 ml
Why at this time?
The 600 ml drink is four hours before kickboxing starts at 19:35.
Why split the lead-up?
Another 350 ml comes at 17:10, then 250 ml at 19:15. The saved pattern steps down as the start approaches.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Workout Water
A smaller drink continues the pre-kickboxing hydration before Luke’s yogurt and honey shake. Fluid and food are each given time in the lead-up to the session.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink is 25 minutes before the shake at 17:35 and two hours and 25 minutes before kickboxing.
What follows before the start?
The final pre-session water is smaller, at 250 ml at 19:15. It follows the earlier 600 ml and this 350 ml drink.
Why this, why now?
Greek Yogurt and Honey Shake
Apple juice and honey bring carbohydrate before kickboxing, while Greek yogurt adds protein. The shake keeps fat very low as the session approaches, aiming to provide fuel without the heavier mixed meal served at lunch.
Energy

Protein

Carbohydrate
77 g
Fat

Why at this time?
The shake sits two hours before the 19:35 kickboxing start. The food balance changes as the session approaches, with carbohydrate and little fat.
Why these foods?
Apple juice and honey provide readily available carbohydrate for kickboxing, while fat-free Greek yogurt adds protein without much fat. The combination is low in fat and fibre, keeping the pre-session food centred on fuel and protein while limiting ingredients that tend to slow digestion.
Why this balance?
The pre-session allocation emphasises carbohydrate with protein and minimal fat. This is a different job from the main meals, which carry more of the day’s fat.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Kickboxing Top-Up
The last pre-kickboxing drink is smaller as the start approaches. It tops up the water already placed earlier in the afternoon, before fluid is supplied during the session.
Water
250 ml
Why at this time?
The 250 ml drink is 20 minutes before kickboxing begins at 19:35.
Why smaller near the start?
The plan has already placed 600 ml at 15:35 and 350 ml at 17:10. This final top-up avoids leaving the full pre-session amount to the last moment.
Why this, why now?
Raw Honey
Honey supplies carbohydrate during the ninety-minute kickboxing session. It is allocated as fuel across the effort, to provide energy while Luke is training rather than waiting for dinner afterwards.
Energy
272 kcal
Protein
0 g
Carbohydrate
68 g
Fat
0 g
Why at this time?
The allocation belongs to kickboxing from 19:35 to 21:05. Its start time marks the session’s fuel, rather than a single serving to take at that minute.
Why these foods?
Honey provides carbohydrate that can be used during kickboxing, with very little fat or fibre. The saved portion supplies fuel across the session alongside the planned water, topping up energy while the effort continues.
Why this balance?
Carbohydrate is the focus of this session allocation, with no protein or fat in the saved honey amount. It is for the whole session, not an instruction to take it all at the start.
Why this, why now?
Water for the session
The session includes 900 ml of fluid alongside honey that supplies 68 g of carbohydrate. The fluid addresses hydration during the effort while the honey supplies fuel for the 90-minute kickboxing session.
Water
900 ml
Why at this time?
19:35 is the start of kickboxing, which runs until 21:05. The 900 ml belongs to the session as a whole, rather than one drink to take at the start.
Why water and honey together?
The honey supplies carbohydrate during the effort. The saved method thins it with a little warm water for soft flasks; fluid is planned alongside that fuel.
Does the water add calories?
The water carries no calories. The 272 kcal and 68 g carbohydrate on the food chart come from the honey in this combined session entry.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Recovery Water
Water starts the recovery sequence near the end of kickboxing. This smaller drink is followed by more at the finish, as the plan turns to replacing fluid after the evening effort.
Water
200 ml
Why at this time?
The 200 ml drink is saved for 21:00, five minutes before the session’s 21:05 finish.
Why water this late?
Training-related fluid continues beyond the routine 20:30 taper. Another 500 ml follows at 21:05, with the recovery meal at 21:20.
Why this, why now?
Post-Kickboxing Rehydration
Water at the finish continues replacing fluid after kickboxing. It follows the smaller drink near the end of the session and comes before Luke’s recovery dinner.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
The 500 ml drink is at the 21:05 finish, followed by dinner at 21:20.
Why after the normal taper?
The evening session still needs fluid alongside recovery food. This saved day keeps the training-related drink after the routine 20:30 taper instead of treating bedtime timing as a reason to omit it.
Why this, why now?
Paprika Prawns with Pasta and Broccoli
Prawns bring protein for muscle repair after kickboxing, and pasta supplies carbohydrate for refuelling. Broccoli, avocado oil and spices turn those amounts into the evening meal.
Energy

Why at this time?
Dinner is placed fifteen minutes after the 21:05 session finish. It supplies the post-session food within Luke’s evening, before the saved 23:30 bedtime.
Why these foods?
Prawns provide lean protein to support muscle repair after kickboxing, and pasta helps replace carbohydrate used during the session. Broccoli adds fibre and avocado oil supplies fat, bringing recovery food together in a mixed evening meal.
Why this balance?
The post-session meal combines protein and carbohydrate with part of the day’s remaining fat. The Chef works with these quantities to make dinner, rather than a separate recovery product.
Why this, why now?
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese provides a final dairy protein feed after the late kickboxing dinner. Its casein is a slower-digesting protein, chosen in the saved plan for the overnight period.
Energy

Protein
25 g
Carbohydrate
5 g
Fat
1 g
Why at this time?
The feed is placed at 22:30, after the 21:20 dinner and an hour before the saved bedtime. It completes the evening’s planned protein distribution.
Why these foods?
Cottage cheese is rich in casein, a milk protein that is digested slowly. In this saved day, the evening serving provides protein for the longer gap without food overnight, supporting repair after kickboxing.
Why this balance?
The saved plan adds this feed because of the training load and protein left to place after the main meals. This is Luke’s allocation for that day, rather than a requirement for everyone.

Thursday’s 3,887 kcal target
The saved plan allows 2,208 kcal for resting needs and 442 kcal for everyday activity, plus 265 kcal towards Luke’s build goal. The 90-minute kickboxing session adds an estimated 972 kcal, bringing the day’s target to 3,887 kcal.
How that becomes 550 g carbohydrate
The protein target stays at 199 g and the fat target at 99 g, accounting for 796 and 891 kcal. That leaves 2,200 kcal for carbohydrate. At 4 kcal per gram, this gives a target of 550 g, spread across meals and fuel before, during and after training.
This is the calculation saved for Luke’s week. Its energy allowances are estimates.
Across Luke’s week
The daily targets stay at 199 g protein and 99 g fat. The carbohydrate target changes with the training planned for each day.

Why this, why now?
Morning Hydration
Water on waking begins replacing fluid after the night. It starts Luke’s routine hydration before breakfast, with more water spread across the morning.
Water
600 ml
Why at this time?
This drink is placed at Luke’s 06:00 wake time, an hour before breakfast at 07:00.
How is the water spread out?
The first glass is 600 ml. Another 400 ml follows at 06:35, with the morning’s water divided across several drinks.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Breakfast Water
A separate drink before breakfast continues the morning hydration. It is followed by scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast, then another drink after the meal.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
This 400 ml drink comes 25 minutes before breakfast at 07:00.
What is its place in the morning?
It follows the water on waking. The next 500 ml is scheduled for 07:25, after breakfast, spreading the morning’s fluid across both sides of the meal.
Why this, why now?
Scrambled Eggs on Wholemeal Toast
Eggs and cottage cheese put protein into the morning to support muscle repair across the day. Wholemeal bread, banana and apple juice provide carbohydrate, with avocado contributing fat to the full breakfast.
Energy
1,002 kcal
Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
107 g
Fat

Why at this time?
Breakfast is placed an hour after Luke’s saved 06:00 wake time. It starts the day’s protein feeds after the overnight fast, with a smaller snack before lunch.
Why these foods?
Eggs and cottage cheese provide protein to support muscle repair from the start of the day. Wholemeal bread, banana and apple juice supply carbohydrate for morning fuelling, with fibre from the bread and fruit and fat from avocado helping make breakfast satisfying. Their calculated portions bring together Luke’s morning protein and energy needs using his preferred pantry foods.
Why this balance?
The breakfast provides a substantial share of the ordinary day’s protein, carbohydrate and fat. Protein continues through later meals and snacks, rather than being confined to training times.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading
Water shortly after breakfast keeps more fluid in the early part of the day. This is one of several morning drinks, followed by smaller amounts later.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
This 500 ml drink is placed 25 minutes after the 07:00 breakfast. Another morning drink follows at 08:15.
Why more earlier?
Luke’s plan puts much of his routine water in the morning and reduces it towards bedtime, rather than leaving a large amount to drink late.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
Steady water through the morning supports hydration between meals. This top-up continues the early allocation before the yogurt and blueberry snack.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
The 500 ml drink comes 50 minutes after the previous one. A smaller 350 ml follows at 09:05.
How does it fit the day?
It is part of the early water allocation. The afternoon and evening use smaller top-ups as the plan approaches Luke’s 23:30 bedtime.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
This drink continues hydration before midday rather than leaving it to catch up later. It is smaller than the previous two drinks and comes before the snack’s water.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
It comes 50 minutes after the 08:15 drink, with water before the snack next at 10:00.
Why spread these drinks out?
The saved plan shares morning hydration across separate occasions, so the day’s fluid is not concentrated into one large drink or left until evening.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water
Water before the mid-morning snack keeps the hydration schedule alongside the food. It is placed before the yogurt and blueberries, then the next drink comes before lunch.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
The 400 ml drink is saved for 10:00, 25 minutes before the snack at 10:25.
What comes next?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 13:20, before lunch. This drink finishes the morning sequence before that longer gap.
Why this, why now?
Greek Yogurt with Blueberries
Greek yogurt supplies protein between breakfast and lunch, with blueberries providing a small carbohydrate contribution. The snack continues the day’s protein distribution through the gap between main meals.
Energy
113 kcal
Protein
16 g
Carbohydrate
11 g
Fat
1 g
Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between the 07:00 breakfast and lunch at 13:45. The saved plan places protein between the larger meals.
Why these foods?
Greek yogurt supplies protein to continue supporting muscle repair between breakfast and lunch. Blueberries add carbohydrate, fibre and fruit flavour, giving this small snack a role in both fuelling and the day’s regular protein intake.
Why this balance?
Protein is the main role here, alongside some carbohydrate. The small portion complements the larger breakfast and lunch allocations.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Lunch Water
A drink ahead of the cod and rice lunch carries hydration into the afternoon. Water has its own place before the meal and before the later afternoon top-up.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
This 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before lunch at 13:45.
How does it fit the afternoon?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 16:45, before the afternoon snack. The plan continues with smaller drinks later in the day.
Why this, why now?
Pan-Fried Cod with Brown Rice
Cod provides lean protein, with brown rice supplying carbohydrate for the afternoon. Broccoli and avocado oil complete the meal, keeping protein present across the day’s main feeds.
Energy
863 kcal
Protein
51 g
Carbohydrate
95 g
Fat
32 g
Why at this time?
Lunch sits between the morning snack and the 17:10 afternoon snack, continuing protein through the day alongside a substantial meal.
Why these foods?
Cod supplies lean protein to support muscle repair, while brown rice provides carbohydrate and fibre for the afternoon ahead. Broccoli contributes more fibre and avocado oil adds fat to help make lunch satisfying. The combination gives Luke a substantial midday meal while continuing his protein intake across the day.
Why this balance?
Lunch is another substantial protein feed, paired with carbohydrate and fat. The rice and oil amounts help shape the whole meal around its allocation.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water Top-Up
The afternoon top-up puts more water in before the evening taper. It comes ahead of the prawns and rice cake snack, with smaller fluid amounts towards bedtime.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before the snack at 17:10.
Why ahead of the evening?
Luke’s plan begins reducing routine fluid around 20:30. This earlier top-up leaves the final scheduled drink at 21:00 smaller, at 200 ml.
Why this, why now?
Prawns on Rice Cake with Olives
Prawns add lean protein during the afternoon gap, with a rice cake for carbohydrate and olives for fat. This small mixed snack sits between the day’s two larger cooked meals.
Energy
125 kcal
Protein
9 g
Carbohydrate
13 g
Fat
4 g
Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between lunch at 13:45 and dinner at 20:30. Its protein feed is part of the plan’s distribution between larger meals.
Why these foods?
Prawns provide lean protein during the gap between lunch and dinner, and the rice cake adds a small carbohydrate top-up. Olives contribute fat, giving the snack a mix intended to help with fullness as Luke moves towards his evening meal.
Why this balance?
Its role is a modest protein and energy top-up before dinner. The saved snack is much smaller than the main meals and includes all three macronutrients.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Dinner Water
A drink ahead of dinner wraps up the main routine hydration sequence. The evening then steps down to a smaller final glass.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before dinner at 20:30, when the plan’s fluid taper begins.
Why reduce fluid later?
The final scheduled drink is 200 ml at 21:00, two and a half hours before Luke’s 23:30 bedtime. The aim is to avoid leaving a large drink close to sleep.
Why this, why now?
Seared Chicken with Quinoa and Tomatoes
Chicken supplies protein for continued repair in the evening. Quinoa, tomato and avocado oil accompany it, bringing carbohydrate, vegetables and fat into dinner.
Energy
624 kcal
Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
67 g
Fat
17 g
Why at this time?
Dinner is placed at 20:30, three hours before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The main meal is followed by a separate dairy protein feed later in the evening.
Why these foods?
Chicken brings protein to support muscle repair into the evening, while quinoa provides carbohydrate and fibre for the day’s remaining fuelling needs. Tomatoes add more fibre and avocado oil supplies fat, bringing these roles together in a satisfying main meal before the smaller protein serving at bedtime.
Why this balance?
Dinner keeps protein substantial while containing less carbohydrate and fat than lunch. The later dairy feed adds a separate protein contribution before bed.
Why this, why now?
Evening Wind-Down
The last scheduled water is a small evening finish. Most fluid has been placed earlier, with the aim of reducing the need to drink a large amount close to sleep.
Water
200 ml
Why at this time?
This 200 ml drink is at 21:00, two and a half hours before Luke’s saved bedtime of 23:30.
Why keep it smaller?
The plan is tapering routine water after 20:30. A smaller finish is intended to reduce the need for a large drink near bedtime; it does not promise uninterrupted sleep.
Why this, why now?
Cottage Cheese with Greek Yogurt
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt add dairy protein before bed. Their casein provides a slower-digesting protein source for the overnight period, as a separate feed from dinner.
Energy
241 kcal
Protein
34 g
Carbohydrate
9 g
Fat
6 g
Why at this time?
It is placed at 22:00, after dinner at 20:30 and before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The separate dairy feed spreads planned protein into the evening.
Why these foods?
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt contain casein, a milk protein that is digested gradually. The combination supplies protein for the long overnight gap, which is why it sits before bed after the day’s main meals.
Why this balance?
The saved plan uses this extra feed to place protein that was not allocated within the main meals. It also carries a small remaining carbohydrate allocation from the day.

Morning Hydration
The first drink starts hydration at Luke’s wake time. It begins replacing fluid after the night before breakfast and the rest of the day’s food.
Water
600 ml
Why at this time?
This drink is placed at Luke’s 06:00 wake time, an hour before breakfast at 07:00.
How is the water spread out?
The first glass is 600 ml. Another 400 ml follows at 06:35, with the morning’s water divided across several drinks.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Breakfast Water
Water before breakfast continues the morning allocation. It sits ahead of the scrambled eggs, rolls, avocado and yogurt, with another drink after the meal.
Water

Why at this time?
Breakfast is placed an hour after Luke’s saved 06:00 wake time. It starts the day’s protein feeds after the overnight fast, with a smaller snack before lunch.
Why these foods?
Eggs and Greek yogurt provide protein for ongoing muscle repair on a day without a workout. Rolls and apple juice supply carbohydrate for the morning, while avocado and full-fat yogurt add fat to a substantial breakfast.
Why this balance?
This ordinary-day breakfast still carries a full protein allocation. Carbohydrate and fat are combined with it rather than restricted as they were in Tuesday’s pre-run feed.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading
The drink after breakfast continues getting more routine water into the morning. Spreading it early leaves less fluid to fit in near bedtime.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
This 500 ml drink is placed 25 minutes after the 07:00 breakfast. Another morning drink follows at 08:15.
Why more earlier?
Luke’s plan puts much of his routine water in the morning and reduces it towards bedtime, rather than leaving a large amount to drink late.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
A further morning top-up keeps water spread between food occasions. It continues the early hydration pattern, followed by a smaller drink at 09:05.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
The 500 ml drink comes 50 minutes after the previous one. A smaller 350 ml follows at 09:05.
How does it fit the day?
It is part of the early water allocation. The afternoon and evening use smaller top-ups as the plan approaches Luke’s 23:30 bedtime.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
This smaller drink carries the morning hydration forward before lunch. It sits between earlier water and the drink planned ahead of the morning snack.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
It comes 50 minutes after the 08:15 drink, with water before the snack next at 10:00.
Why spread these drinks out?
The saved plan shares morning hydration across separate occasions, so the day’s fluid is not concentrated into one large drink or left until evening.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water
Water comes before the yogurt and blueberry snack, keeping fluid alongside the morning food plan. The next scheduled drink is before lunch.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
The 400 ml drink is saved for 10:00, 25 minutes before the snack at 10:25.
What comes next?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 13:20, before lunch. This drink finishes the morning sequence before that longer gap.
Why this, why now?
Greek Yogurt with Blueberries

Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between the 07:00 breakfast and lunch at 13:45. The saved plan places protein between the larger meals.
Why these foods?
Fat-free Greek yogurt provides protein to support ongoing muscle repair between breakfast and lunch. Blueberries add carbohydrate, fibre and fruit flavour, making a small snack intended to help manage hunger through that gap while keeping protein spread across the day.
Why this balance?
The snack is predominantly protein, with some carbohydrate and very little fat. It complements the day’s larger mixed meals.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Lunch Water
A drink before lunch carries hydration into the middle of the day. It sits ahead of the steak and quinoa salad, with the afternoon water planned separately.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
This 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before lunch at 13:45.
How does it fit the afternoon?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 16:45, before the afternoon snack. The plan continues with smaller drinks later in the day.
Why this, why now?
Rump Steak with Quinoa and Tomato Cucumber Salad

Why at this time?
Lunch sits between the morning snack and the 17:10 afternoon snack, continuing protein through the day alongside a substantial meal.
Why these foods?
Steak and quinoa contribute protein for ongoing muscle repair, while quinoa also supplies carbohydrate for the afternoon. Tomato and cucumber add fibre, and avocado oil adds fat, making a fuller mixed meal between the day’s smaller snacks.
Why this balance?
Protein remains substantial on a day without a scheduled workout. Quinoa and oil contribute carbohydrate and fat within the same lunch allocation.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water Top-Up
The afternoon top-up adds fluid before the evening taper. It comes ahead of the prawns and rice cake snack, leaving a smaller drink for the approach to bedtime.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before the snack at 17:10.
Why ahead of the evening?
Luke’s plan begins reducing routine fluid around 20:30. This earlier top-up leaves the final scheduled drink at 21:00 smaller, at 200 ml.

Cod supplies protein for repair with little fat of its own, while quinoa adds carbohydrate and more protein. Broccoli contributes fibre and avocado oil adds fat, keeping a substantial protein serving in a dinner with less fat than breakfast and lunch.
Why this balance?
The meal keeps protein at a similar level to lunch, while carbohydrate and fat are lower. The ingredient amounts follow that evening allocation.
Why this, why now?
Evening Wind-Down
A smaller final glass finishes the scheduled water before the night. The plan has placed more fluid earlier, with the aim of limiting large drinks near sleep.
Water
200 ml
Why at this time?
This 200 ml drink is at 21:00, two and a half hours before Luke’s saved bedtime of 23:30.
Why keep it smaller?
The plan is tapering routine water after 20:30. A smaller finish is intended to reduce the need for a large drink near bedtime; it does not promise uninterrupted sleep.
Why this, why now?
Cottage Cheese with Greek Yogurt
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt add dairy protein before bed. Their casein provides a slower-digesting protein source for the overnight period, as a separate feed from dinner.
Energy

Protein
34 g
Carbohydrate
9 g
Fat
6 g
Why at this time?
It is placed at 22:00, after dinner at 20:30 and before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The separate dairy feed spreads planned protein into the evening.
Why these foods?
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt both provide casein, a slowly digested milk protein. In this saved day, the combination is included to provide protein over the longer gap without food overnight and support muscle repair.
Why this balance?
The saved plan uses this extra feed to place protein that was not allocated within the main meals. It also carries a small remaining carbohydrate allocation from the day.

Why this, why now?
Morning Hydration
Water on waking begins replacing fluid after the night. The saved portion is 600 ml, starting Luke’s morning hydration before breakfast.
Water
600 ml
Why at this time?
This drink is placed at Luke’s 06:00 wake time, an hour before breakfast at 07:00.
How is the water spread out?
The first glass is 600 ml. Another 400 ml follows at 06:35, with the morning’s water divided across several drinks.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Breakfast Water
A separate glass before breakfast continues the early hydration. It comes before the egg and avocado bagel with yogurt, with another drink after the meal.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
This 400 ml drink comes 25 minutes before breakfast at 07:00.
What is its place in the morning?
It follows the water on waking. The next 500 ml is scheduled for 07:25, after breakfast, spreading the morning’s fluid across both sides of the meal.
Why this, why now?
Egg and Avocado on Bagel with Greek Yogurt
Eggs and Greek yogurt put protein into the first meal after the overnight fast. Bagel, blueberries and apple juice supply carbohydrate, while avocado adds fat to the mixed breakfast.
Energy
974 kcal
Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
106 g
Fat
39 g
Why at this time?
Breakfast is placed an hour after Luke’s saved 06:00 wake time. It starts the day’s protein feeds after the overnight fast, with a smaller snack before lunch.
Why these foods?
Egg and Greek yogurt provide protein after the overnight gap, while bagel, juice and blueberries supply carbohydrate for the morning. Avocado adds fat and fibre, making this a fuller breakfast that contributes to Luke’s repair and energy needs on a day without training.
Why this balance?
The breakfast starts the day’s protein distribution with a substantial feed. Carbohydrate and fat sit alongside it to provide morning energy on this ordinary day.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading
Water after breakfast continues the morning hydration phase. More fluid is placed early so it is not left to a large amount later in the day.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
This 500 ml drink is placed 25 minutes after the 07:00 breakfast. Another morning drink follows at 08:15.
Why more earlier?
Luke’s plan puts much of his routine water in the morning and reduces it towards bedtime, rather than leaving a large amount to drink late.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
A morning top-up continues steady hydration between meals. It is part of the early water allocation, before the smaller drinks later in Luke’s day.
Water
500 ml
Why at this time?
The 500 ml drink comes 50 minutes after the previous one. A smaller 350 ml follows at 09:05.
How does it fit the day?
It is part of the early water allocation. The afternoon and evening use smaller top-ups as the plan approaches Luke’s 23:30 bedtime.
Why this, why now?
Morning Loading Top-Up
This smaller top-up keeps the morning fluid spread out between meals. It follows the larger 08:15 drink and comes before the water ahead of the snack.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
It comes 50 minutes after the 08:15 drink, with water before the snack next at 10:00.
Why spread these drinks out?
The saved plan shares morning hydration across separate occasions, so the day’s fluid is not concentrated into one large drink or left until evening.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water
Water before the prawns on toast continues the morning hydration. The drink is a separate moment ahead of the snack, with the next water scheduled before lunch.
Water
400 ml
Why at this time?
The 400 ml drink is saved for 10:00, 25 minutes before the snack at 10:25.
What comes next?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 13:20, before lunch. This drink finishes the morning sequence before that longer gap.
Why this, why now?
Prawns on Toast
Prawns bring lean protein between breakfast and lunch, with wholemeal toast adding carbohydrate and fibre. This modest snack fills part of the long gap between the main meals.
Energy
103 kcal
Protein
11 g
Carbohydrate
13 g
Fat
1 g
Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between the 07:00 breakfast and lunch at 13:45. The saved plan places protein between the larger meals.
Why these foods?
Prawns provide lean protein, and wholemeal toast adds carbohydrate and fibre. The small combination continues the day’s protein between the larger meals and provides some energy for the gap to lunch.
Why this balance?
The emphasis is a small protein and carbohydrate contribution before lunch. It complements the larger meals rather than replacing them.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Lunch Water
The drink before lunch carries water into the afternoon. It is placed 25 minutes before the paprika chicken and quinoa meal, rather than waiting until the evening.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
This 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before lunch at 13:45.
How does it fit the afternoon?
The next scheduled water is 350 ml at 16:45, before the afternoon snack. The plan continues with smaller drinks later in the day.
Why this, why now?
Paprika Chicken with Quinoa and Pepper
Chicken and quinoa continue the day’s protein for muscle repair. Quinoa also provides carbohydrate, while avocado oil supplies fat and yellow pepper brings vegetables into lunch.
Energy
855 kcal
Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
94 g
Fat
31 g
Why at this time?
Lunch sits between the morning snack and the 17:10 afternoon snack, continuing protein through the day alongside a substantial meal.
Why these foods?
Chicken and quinoa contribute protein to support muscle repair, while quinoa also provides carbohydrate for the afternoon. Pepper adds fibre and avocado oil contributes fat, giving this main meal a fuller mix of energy and nutrients between the smaller snacks.
Why this balance?
The meal combines substantial protein with carbohydrate and fat for the afternoon. The quinoa and oil are calculated alongside the chicken to form the complete portion.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Snack Water Top-Up
This afternoon top-up continues hydration before the evening taper. It sits ahead of the scrambled egg and rice cake snack, leaving smaller water amounts later.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before the snack at 17:10.
Why ahead of the evening?
Luke’s plan begins reducing routine fluid around 20:30. This earlier top-up leaves the final scheduled drink at 21:00 smaller, at 200 ml.
Why this, why now?
Scrambled Egg on Rice Cake
An egg supplies protein and fat, with a rice cake adding carbohydrate to bridge the gap to dinner. It is a small afternoon feed within the day’s wider protein pattern.
Energy
130 kcal
Protein
8 g
Carbohydrate
13 g
Fat
5 g
Why at this time?
The snack breaks up the gap between lunch at 13:45 and dinner at 20:30. Its protein feed is part of the plan’s distribution between larger meals.
Why these foods?
Egg supplies protein for muscle repair as well as fat, and the rice cake adds carbohydrate. Together they give the afternoon gap a small mix of protein and energy while leaving the larger food allocation for dinner.
Why this balance?
The snack contributes all three macronutrients in a small portion. Protein carries through the afternoon, while most of the evening’s food remains in dinner.
Why this, why now?
Pre-Dinner Water
Water before dinner marks the final main routine drink. The plan then reduces to a smaller evening finish before Luke’s intended bedtime.
Water
350 ml
Why at this time?
The 350 ml drink comes 25 minutes before dinner at 20:30, when the plan’s fluid taper begins.
Why reduce fluid later?
The final scheduled drink is 200 ml at 21:00, two and a half hours before Luke’s 23:30 bedtime. The aim is to avoid leaving a large drink close to sleep.
Why this, why now?
Spiced Cod with Broccoli and Quinoa
Cod brings lean protein into dinner, while quinoa contributes carbohydrate and broccoli provides fibre. Avocado oil and seasoning complete the meal as the day moves towards bedtime.
Energy
616 kcal
Protein
50 g
Carbohydrate
67 g
Fat
17 g
Why at this time?
Dinner is placed at 20:30, three hours before the saved 23:30 bedtime. The main meal is followed by a separate dairy protein feed later in the evening.
Why these foods?
Cod brings protein for ongoing repair, and quinoa supplies carbohydrate as well as additional protein. Broccoli adds fibre, while a smaller amount of avocado oil keeps this evening meal lower in fat than breakfast and lunch.
Why this balance?
Dinner keeps protein substantial while using less carbohydrate and fat than lunch. Broccoli and quinoa add fibre within the cooked meal, ahead of the later dairy feed.
Why this, why now?
Evening Wind-Down
The final scheduled drink is smaller as bedtime approaches. The intent is to avoid leaving a large glass for late in the evening, when it may lead to more bathroom trips.
Water
200 ml
Why at this time?
This 200 ml drink is at 21:00, two and a half hours before Luke’s saved bedtime of 23:30.
Why keep it smaller?
The plan is tapering routine water after 20:30. A smaller finish is intended to reduce the need for a large drink near bedtime; it does not promise uninterrupted sleep.

Why these foods?
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt supply casein, a milk protein that is digested slowly. This serving is included in Luke’s saved day to carry protein into the longer overnight gap and support muscle repair.
Why this balance?
The saved plan uses this extra feed to place protein that was not allocated within the main meals. It also carries a small remaining carbohydrate allocation from the day.

Suggestions for Luke’s pantry
From Luke’s earlier plans and this week. Luke chooses which suggestions to add to My Pantry and which to skip.
In the 22 September plan
Add gels and electrolytes
KEXBI’s kickboxing plan flagged that Luke had neither selected in My Pantry and suggested adding them.
With no dedicated training carbohydrates selected for the week shown here, the plan uses his pantry foods: apple juice and honey before kickboxing, and honey during it. Adding his preferred gels or a carbohydrate drink mix would give KEXBI more options for training fuel.
In the 7 and 8 October plans
More variety in protein foods
Yogurt appears repeatedly in Luke’s plan. KEXBI suggests another lean protein option for snacks and pre-workout food, giving him more variety while still meeting those meals’ needs.
Shopping for the week
All seven days, 5 to 11 October, combined into one shopping list. Check your pantry before you shop.

LESS WORKING IT OUT. MORE GETTING ON WITH IT.
Food with purpose. Choices that stay yours.
Choose the foods and flavours you enjoy, and how you want to cook. KEXBI connects those choices with the nutritional needs of your week.
How much do I need to do?
Bring your body, training, goal and food preferences. KEXBI builds the meals, prep and shopping list. You shop, cook and weigh the portions. The calculations are already done.
Why weigh the food?
For the same reason you weigh ingredients for a cake: the amounts matter. Your kitchen scales turn the plan into the portion in front of you, without having to guess.
