• uses little fat loss ingredient tweaks to reduce calories and maintain taste
• has foolproof instructions so that you or your family can easily follow them
• is integrated with MyFitnessPal so that you can easily plug it into your daily nutri-

You no longer need to make a trade-off between the foods you love and your fitness
goals (fat loss, muscle building, and body recomposition). We hope you enjoy these meals
and realize that “dieting” does not mean you can’t enjoy the food that you’re eating!
Learning how to use and incorporate these LFITs will allow you to enjoy the foods you
love while saving you hundreds of calories.
For each recipe, we’ve noted all the LFITs used and their higher calorie comparisons
we’ve swapped them out for so that you can start doing the same!
P.S. - If you’d like to see a list of every single LFIT we used in our cookbook, you can see
them in Appendix 1D: Built With Science LFITs.

Here are a few additional items to make note of for our recipes:
1. Each of our recipes are integrated with MyFitnessPal. Simply add a “Built With
Science - ” before the recipe name to find it on the app. For example, if you’d like
to add the “Apple Fritter” into your nutrition diary, search “Built With Science -
Apple Fritter” in the app.
2. If you have any questions while you’re looking through or creating the recipes,
refer to the FAQ section.
We have listed all of our ingredients in grams and we ask that you measure the
ingredients using a food scale. They are extremely helpful, fairly cheap, and can
be purchased at most department stores or on Amazon. However, if you don’t
have access to a food scale, please refer to Appendix 1A for standard gram to
cup/tbsp conversions.
3. For many of our recipes, we’ve also used stevia as the default sweetener. If you
prefer to use a different sweetener, please refer to Appendix 1B for sweetener
conversions as the amount of sweetener you use is dependent on the type of
sweetener.
4. If you are unsure of which brand or variation of a food type you should purchase
when preparing a recipe, refer to Appendix 1C for our Ingredient Shopping Guide.
5. At the bottom of each recipe, we’ve listed out the Little Fat Loss Ingredient Tweaks
(LFITs) that helped to reduce calories and maintain taste!
We hope you enjoy all the meals and are able to progress! Now, let’s get cooking!

Below is a list of low calorie sauces and condiments that we’d highly recommend if
you’re looking to add additional flavour to your meals while keeping calories low:
• Mustard
• Tamari
• Hot Sauce
• Salsa
As studies suggest that having 3-6 protein-rich meals per day is optimal for maximizing
muscle protein synthesis, each template consists of 3 meals, 1 snack, and 1 dessert.
E.g. If you need to consume 1830 calories per day, simply choose the 1800 calorie
fat loss meal plan and search “LFIT BWS 1800” on MyFitnessPal to add it to
your diary.
