Natural peanut butter W/ celery, whey in water, baked chicken breast, cottage cheese, and veggies. Make sure you take a multi vit. and some fish oil. Thats all you need.

same foods you would eat when youre trying to gain weight, just less of them.

lean proteins - chicken, beef, fish, cottage cheese, turkey, egg whites, etc.
healthy fats - nuts, nut butters, olive oil, fish oil caps, egg yolks, olives, avocados, etc
