Recipes
Now, onto the good stuff – the recipes! These are some of my favorite meals and snacks that are easy to make and follow the guidelines of the 4 Hour Body Diet.
Breakfast
For breakfast, I like to keep things simple with a protein-packed omelet. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced ham
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Simply whisk the eggs in a bowl, then add in the onions, peppers, and ham. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and pour in the egg mixture. Cook for a few minutes, then sprinkle on the cheese and fold the omelet in half. Cook for another minute or two until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through.
Lunch
For lunch, I like to make a big salad with lots of veggies and protein. Here’s what I use:
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 4 oz grilled chicken breast
- Balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Simply toss all the ingredients together in a bowl and drizzle the dressing on top.
Dinner
For dinner, I like to make a big batch of chili that I can eat throughout the week. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Start by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Once it’s cooked through, add in the onions and bell peppers and cook for a few minutes until they’re softened. Then add in the rest of the ingredients and stir until everything is combined. Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until it’s heated through and the flavors have melded together.
