5-Day Clean Eating Meal Plan from AB Fitness Personal Training

5-Day Clean Eating Meal Plan

Designed for Busy Adults Over 40 Who Want to Lose Fat, Boost Energy, and Feel Better Fast

If you’re tired of guessing what to eat or jumping from one diet to the next, this plan is for you.

At AB Fitness, we’ve helped thousands of Long Islanders lose fat, build strength, and take control of their health—with no extreme diets, no starvation, and no tracking apps.

Our founder, Anthony is a certified nutritionist and expert coach. After over a decade of working with men and women over 40, he built this clean eating plan around what actually works for real people with real lives.

This 5-day meal plan is simple, sustainable, and built around real food—so you can feel better, drop a few pounds, and get back on track fast.


🥗 What Is Clean Eating?

Clean eating isn’t about being perfect or cutting everything you enjoy. It’s about eating:

  • Minimally processed foods that fuel your body

  • Lean protein at every meal

  • Whole-food carbs like fruit, potatoes, and rice

  • Healthy fats from real sources like eggs, avocado, and olive oil

  • Plenty of veggies to fill you up and support digestion

It’s not a detox. It’s not a cleanse. It’s just a better way to eat that helps your body work the way it’s supposed to.


🛠 How This Plan Works

  • You’ll eat 3–4 meals per day

  • Every meal includes lean protein, smart carbs, and veggies

  • You’ll use hand-based portions (no scale or tracking needed)

  • Meals are quick, simple, and family-friendly

Use this as a 5-day reset, a fat-loss jumpstart, or a long-term meal template.


✋ Hand-Based Portion Guide

  • 🖐 Protein = 1 palm

  • Veggies = 1 fist

  • 👐 Carbs = 1 cupped hand

  • 👍 Fats = 1 thumb (or included naturally in your food)
