Review: This book is GREAT and I can't recommend it enough! - I really love this book. I've read Mike's other book "Bigger, Leaner, Stronger" and was really motivated by it and liked the writing style. This book is very much in the tradition of BLS. There is clear and well presented information in the first part of the book and then come the recipes. The recipes presented are GOOD. I just made the Dijon-Sage Pork Loin and the Crispy Squash Fries. I'm so glad I did! There were minimal ingredients so my shopping list didn't cost an arm and a leg, and though everything was simple it was SOOOOO flavorful! My boyfriend and I have been wanting to eat better and incorporate more veggies into our diet and this cookbook is helping us do that. I particularly like how each recipe has the calorie count and macros listed. There are so many pros to this book that I hate to mention the very very few cons I've found but I think a fair heads-up to other shoppers is always good. For me, I am a relatively new cook so not having pictures of each finished dish leaves me to wonder if I'm doing everything right and just hoping for the best. Additionally, the recipes have the barest of bones of directions.One is totally able to accomplish the recipes as a beginner, no doubt, but I do think they would be easier to adapt, if need be, for a more experienced cook. Scant instructions are a bit of an issue for me because cooking makes me anxious, I get too worried that I'm doing everything wrong, but as I said above, I was more than able to cook a few things from this book despite my concerns and self-doubt. These concerns are really just mine and may not really apply to everyone. I have seen others complain of scant instructions in knitting patterns that I have felt were perfectly clear so it really is just a person to person thing. Overall, I would recommend and gift this book to others who may be looking to change up how they eat, or to anybody that would appreciate a well written and beautifully produced cookbook. ## Features - How to create meal plans for building muscle and losing fat that don’t make you feel starved, deprived, or like you're "on a diet" (and especially a “bodybuilding diet”). - The simplest chef-approved ways to immediately start making restaurant-quality food that don’t require you to spend more time on preparation or cooking or more money on ingredients or gear. - 13 delicious and easy-to-make breakfast recipes, like “BLT” Eggs Benedict, Heuvos Rancheros, High-Protein Banana Oatcakes, Spice Caribbean Oatmeal with Yogurt Swirl, and more. - 11 mouthwatering salads and dressings, like Spicy Santa Fe Taco Salad, Grilled Mediterranean Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette, Creamy Jalapeno-Cilantro Dressing, and more. - 14 low-calorie snacks you’ll actually want to eat, like Blueberry-Coconut Pancake Batter Smoothie, Maple-Walnut Protein Muffins, Peanut Butter Protein Swirl Brownies, and more. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #24,576 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Weight Loss Recipes #17 in High Protein Diets #180 in Quick & Easy Cooking (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 5,284 Reviews | ## Images ![The Shredded Chef: 125 Recipes for Building Muscle, Getting Lean, and Staying Healthy (Third Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91K3c9fl8aL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Ultimate Fitness Cookbook for Lean Gains *by A***R on July 30, 2025* Whether you're bulking, cutting, or just cleaning up your diet, The Shredded Chef by Mike Matthews hits every mark for flavor, macros, and simplicity. 🔹 Focused on Fitness Goals This book is purpose-built for body composition: whether your goal is fat loss or muscle gain, it gives you high-protein, low-calorie meals that support your training.

His recipes are delicious and are solid for carb-cycling weight-lifting days and rest days. The cooking instructions and ingredients lists are generally fairly simple and easy to follow. The addition of pictures for most of the recipes is a huge plus. I had a couple minor frustrations going through the book - one, there should've been a Table of Contents. I don't understand why this wasn't a thing, especially for a recipe-based book where you're needing to flip back and forth; and two, I noticed some errors in sentences and cooking instructions. For instance, one of the poultry recipes has four steps in its cooking instructions, yet it clearly had five steps at some point. You're told to remove foil that was never used in the first place. Honestly, you can just use your head and figure this one out, but it should've been more complete. All-in-all, I think it's good and is a worthy buy for anyone trying to step up their cooking game and get leaner at the same time. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Shredded Chef: 125 Recipes for Building Muscle, Getting Lean, and Staying Healthy (Third Edition) - Thinner Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Female Body - Bigger Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Male Body --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/36259664-the-shredded-chef-125-recipes-for-building-muscle-getting-lean](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/36259664-the-shredded-chef-125-recipes-for-building-muscle-getting-lean) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
