If your kryptonite is in the kitchen, you need a few recipes on which you can rely to keep you eating healthy when you’d otherwise go astray. Basically, you need the Superman Diet. Here, Henry Cavill’s nutrition coach, Erin Blevins (wife of Cavill’s trainer Michael Blevins), offers the meals that keep the Man of Steel on track. Prepare them all for a perfect day of eating—one that will fuel gains in the gym and keep body fat off without sacrificing flavor. They reheat well, too, so you can feast on leftovers the rest of the week. Here’s a look at Cavill’s Superman Diet. Breakfast: Protein pancakes Makes: 2 servings Ingredients 1 tsp butter 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder 2/3 cup liquid egg whites 2/3 cup skim milk (or low-fat coconut milk) 1 Tbsp almond flour 1 dash cinnamon Directions
- Place a nonstick saucepan over medium heat, and add the butter. Blend or whisk all of the remaining ingredients together, and pour into the pan as individual cakes.
- When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, flip them. Nutrition (per serving) 222 calories, 26g protein, 11g carbs, 5g fat Lunch: Lemon chicken w/ yogurt herb sauce Makes: 4 servings Ingredients 4 6-oz chicken breasts, cut into cubes Juice of 1 lemon, divided, plus zest 1 Tbsp oregano 1/4 cup sherry vinegar 11/2 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 diced red onion, divided 11/2 Tbsp turmeric Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 7 cloves garlic, diced 1 tsp honey or agave 1/2 Tbsp dill 2/3 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder Directions

- In a pan over medium heat, add the chicken and stir until cooked through. Pour in the remaining juices right before the chicken is fully cooked. Bring to a boil, and then remove pan from heat.
