Meal 1: Soya Quark with Protein Flakes and some Protein flavour or 2 Wholewheat toasts with chicken breast
Meal 2: Rice with Beef or Fish
Meal 3: Vegetables with Bacon
Snacks: Protein Shakes.
On training days, I eat carbohydrates in the evening and I like to drink a protein shake! ☺

Squats of course! I love Squats and they train your booty and your legs the best. I love one leg cable extensions. They are very intensive and train the part of your booty which lifts it up

I love doing Russian Twists. They not only train my lower abs and obliques, but also the muscle which connects to the lower back. So people who have a problem there should really try this exercise, but carefully with correct form.
