Have you ever wondered how actors get "ripped" and "cut" 6 pack abs for movies like Gladiator, 300 or the TV series Spartacus? No doubt it takes a hardcore training program combining all different methods of exercise, but it you also have to eat the right kind of things. You can be in the gym 24 hours a day, 7 days a week working your butt off, but if you're putting the right nutrients in your body to feed the muscles and make them recover even stronger than before, you're wasting your time. Carbs, protein, fat...your body needs all of them to function properly, so each of them should be included in every meal. It's easier than you think, but still takes dedication and proper planning to get your 6 pack abs.

Nick E Tarabay is one of the starts of Spartacus: Gods of The Arena, a premium series on Starz. To play a gladiator, you need to eat and train like one. Here is his 3 day meal plan which includes four meals a day and one snack, which can be consumed between any two of the meals. Mix and match any meal from any plan to make each day different, so that you don't get too bored.
