Background

I am a 35-year-old male vegetarian working out five days per week and play volleyball twice a week for two hours on average. I weigh around 93kg and with this meal prep I maintain roughly a 10 to 12% body fat level. I also allow myself to eat whatever meal I feel like twice a week, especially around leg day and back day.
