The Simplest Way I Have Found to Get Into Moderately Good Shape

23 Jun, 2026

This is the best way I have found to get into moderately good shape.

Breakfast

• 1 scoop of protein powder
• 1 cup of milk
• Mixed into coffee

Lunch

• 1/2 pound of lean meat
• 1/2 bag of frozen vegetables
• 1 serving of your favorite sauce

Dinner

• 1/2 pound of lean meat
• 1/2 bag of frozen vegetables
• 1 serving of your favorite sauce

(Dinner nowadays with my girlfriend is usually a little less boy-ish than this, as we like to eat healthy while still making great meals. It's almost always some combination of a protein, a carb, and vegetables. I've been trying to improve my portion control here.)

Dessert

• Ninja Creami with:

  • 1 scoop of protein powder
  • 1 cup of fat-free Fairlife
  • 2 cookies

Exercise

• Bike or walk anywhere within a 3-mile radius
• CrossFit 4–5x per week

That's pretty much it.

It's not the most glamorous plan, and it's certainly not the most optimized. But it's simple, sustainable, and I feel pretty good when I stick with it for an extended period of time.

For someone who just wants to be reasonably lean, reasonably strong, and healthy while still enjoying life, I think it's pretty hard to beat.
