If you are committing to the 75 Soft Challenge, you already know that the goal isn’t just to “survive” the 75 days—it’s to thrive. While the 12-3-30 workout or a solid beginner back routine will build the strength, your kitchen habits will reveal the results.
As the saying goes, “abs are built in the kitchen.” But you don’t need a restrictive, soul-crushing diet to see progress. By using a few biological pivots to lower calories and focusing on high-protein, single-ingredient foods, you can make the next 75 days your most transformative yet.
Here is your 75 Soft meal plan designed for maximum energy and muscle recovery.
The 75 Soft "Fuel & Recover" Menu
Breakfast: The Metabolic Kickstart
The Go-To: 3 Scrambled Eggs with half an avocado.
The “Rule” Follower: If you are practicing the 30/30/30 rule for weight loss, aim for 30g of protein within 30 minutes of waking. A bowl of Greek yogurt with chia seeds is a perfect alternative.
The Pivot: Swap sugary creamers for black coffee to keep your insulin levels stable.
Lunch: Lean & Green
The Go-To: Grilled Chicken or Ground Turkey “Taco Bowls” with cauliflower rice and plenty of peppers.
The Pivot: Avoid the “hidden debuff” of inflammatory seed oils. Use extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil for your dressings.
Pro Tip: This is the perfect time to ensure you are staying hydrated. Aim to finish at least 1 liter of water by the end of lunch.
Snacks: The Bridge
The Selection: Hard-boiled eggs, raw almonds, or a high-quality jerky.
The Why: Staying away from fitness myths about “frequent snacking,” we focus on protein-dense options that prevent the mid-afternoon energy crash.
Dinner: Deep Recovery
The Go-To: Baked Salmon or Grass-fed Steak with a massive side of roasted broccoli or asparagus.
The Pivot: Keep your starch (like sweet potatoes) to a moderate portion. Your body needs these carbs to refuel after your daily 45-minute movement, but don’t overdo it.
Why This Plan Works for 75 Soft
Unlike “hard” diets that fail because they are too restrictive, this plan is built on 7 Pillars of Self-Improvement:
Sustainability: You can eat this way at home or at a restaurant.
Satiety: High protein and fiber keep you full, so you aren’t fighting cravings with willpower alone.
Recovery: These foods provide the micronutrients necessary for proper rest and muscle repair.
Final Thoughts
The 75 Soft challenge is about starting strong and finishing even stronger. It’s about the internal motivation to show up for yourself every single day, even when you don’t feel like it.
