The Perfect Dinner
1 chicken breast (7-–9 oz.)
- 1 yam
- 1 cup peas, corn and carrots

Why? The combination of carbohydrates and lean protein in this meal increases the levels of insulin in the blood, fostering a hormonal environment that'’s ideal for muscle growth. Yams digest slowly, helping to sustain that environment, and lower-fatprotein, like this chicken breast, helps keep bodyfat in check.
Hardgainer Tip: Add a tall glass of low-fat milk and saute the chicken in extra-virgin olive oil for additional protein and essential fats that help growth.
Shredding Tip: Eat half the yam and ditch the vegetable medley, which is higher in calories, for a lower-calorie vegetable like green beans.
