Before his 10-week six-pack transformation, like many of us, Matthews was aware of what healthy eating looks like. But simply avoiding junk food and maintaining the requisite calorie deficit to hit 5% body fat are very different beasts.
The simplest way to do this is to hand over to the professionals. In this case, they were the nutritionists and chefs at Mens Health Fuel. Throughout the transformation, Matthews took delivery of four meals from the Lean plan, three days a week.

But then, to prove it can also be done with a little elbow grease in the kitchen, he was left to fend for himself for the rest of the week relying on the simple, healthful meals below to get him through. There was still room for clean G&Ts after work and weekend takeaways.
To reign in his portion control, Stafford cut him a deal he could pile his plate as high as he liked, as long as it was a side plate. Really it all came down to discipline. In the run-up to the photoshoot Id finished three of my four Fuel boxes by 11am, recounts Matthews with a grimace. I messaged my trainer Shaun Stafford to plead for an extra meal. His response was tough luck!, making room only for extra celery sticks, watermelon fingers or Diet Coke. It paid off though, and made the two burgers from Five Guys after the final photo all the more satisfying.
