Currently bulking at 220 lbs, 6’2”. Goal: gain lean muscle without adding too much fat. My diet consists of chicken, rice, and broccoli most days, but I need more variety. Any ideas?

Chicken, rice, and broccoli are solid, but I get that it can get boring after a while. Here are a few ideas to mix things up and still stay lean while you pack on muscle:

• Protein swap: Try throwing in some ground turkey or lean beef for a change. If you’re into fish, salmon is bomb for the healthy fats and protein. Also, don’t sleep on eggs—whole eggs + egg whites will switch it up for breakfast or snacks.
• Carbs: Switch out the rice with some sweet potatoes or quinoa. Both are solid options that will give you some variety but still keep you fueled. Oats are great too, or you could throw in some whole-grain bread.
• Veggies: Broccoli’s cool, but mix it up with stuff like spinach, kale, or even zucchini. Bell peppers and cauliflower are solid options too—keep it fresh.
• Fats: Avocado, almond butter, or even a little olive oil can change up the flavor and add some extra cals without the junk. Nuts are always good for snacks too.

Just keep your macros in check and track your calories so you’re not going overboard with the fat gain. But yeah, variety’s key—don’t let that chicken and rice get you bored. You got this!

I’m allergic to dairy but love high-protein snacks. Any good non-dairy options to help me hit my protein goals?
