This plate works because it keeps insulin low, protein high, and nutrients dense. That combination keeps you in fat-burning mode while still supporting muscle repair.
Why it works
• Beef steak + eggs deliver complete amino acids and leucine. That switches on muscle protein synthesis without spiking insulin. You recover muscle while staying in fat oxidation.
• Dietary fat from steak, eggs and avocado does not block fat loss when carbs are low. Low insulin allows stored body fat to be released and burned.
• Avocado provides potassium and magnesium to support nerve function and cortisol control post training.
• Kiwi gives a small hit of vitamin C and polyphenols. Enough to support recovery and collagen synthesis without kicking you out of fat burning.
This is how you eat post workout when the goal is lean, metabolically flexible, not bloated or inflamed.
High protein. Low insulin. Fat burning stays on. Muscle repair still happens.
