About this listen

You don’t need to survive on boiled chicken, steamed broccoli, and brown rice to get the body you want.

With over 300,000 copies sold, The Shredded Chef is the best-selling guide to flexible dieting for people who love food but want results. It shows you how to lose fat and build muscle with high-protein, home-cooked meals—not bland “fitness food.”

Inside, you’ll get 125 easy, macro-friendly recipes that are high in protein, calorie-conscious, and simple enough for busy weeknights.

From quick breakfasts and satisfying lunches to hearty dinners and fitness-friendly desserts, every recipe is designed to support your training and physique goals without hours in the kitchen.

Inside, you’ll discover how to make:

  • Breakfasts that feel like "cheating," like High-Protein Banana Oatcakes and “BLT” Eggs Benedict.
  • Crowd-pleasing dinners like Beef Stroganoff, Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops, and Creamy Fettuccine with Scallops.
  • Desserts that fit your macros, including Maple-Raisin Bread Pudding and Peanut Butter Protein Swirl Brownies.
  • Side dishes and snacks that you’ll actually look forward to, like Crispy Squash Fries and Blueberry-Coconut Pancake Batter Smoothies.

But this isn’t just a recipe book—it’s a complete nutrition system. You’ll also get:

  • Complete nutrition breakdowns for every recipe—calories, protein, carbs, and fats—so tracking your macros is effortless.
  • Practical prep tips to save time and avoid complicated techniques or expensive ingredients.
  • Simple strategies for batch cooking so you always have “on plan” food ready to go.

Whether you love cooking or just want it done fast, The Shredded Chef makes it easy to fuel fat loss, muscle gain, and better performance without sacrificing your taste buds.

If you’re ready to stop restricting and start enjoying your food again, this is the cookbook you’ve been waiting for.

There's a fair bit of puff in the early chapters about how amazing this book is, which always makes me cautious. But in fairness it does do a solid job of delivering a lot of ideas for shred-friendly recipes, and includes a helpful couple of chapters on beginner-suitable cooking techniques and equipment. There's also some basic but helpful discussion of different kinds of foods and diets that will work to support a muscle-growth program. I also liked that there is a emphasis on making foods that are enjoyable, and consequently more sustainable to eat regularly.

Criticisms would include - Very American: there's a fair few terms and measures that Brits might not be familiar with. Quite a lot of self-promotion, and as others have pointed out: no PDF.

Narrator is fine.
