The Shredded Chef

120 Recipes for Building Muscle, Getting Lean, and Staying Healthy

By: Michael Matthews

Narrated by: Jeff Justus

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.

Thank you Mike!

This is amazing and life changing! This make food so easy and delicious. It is wonderful knowing I don't have to stress about food anymore!

A cookbook in audio format? It works great!

The recipes are wonderful but the real feast to me was the great background, info and scientific studies that back up the food choices and recommendations.
I wasn't expecting the cookbook to have the same full out production value as "Bigger, Leaner, Stronger" but it did! He used the same great narrator and I found the listen very entertaining. There were parts of this book which were a review after reading other titles, but the different context and application was really helpful and interesting.

Should Include a PDF

Lots of info, however, it should include a PDF attachment for the recipes. The chapters aren't titled in the audio version which makes it hard to refer to a specific recipe.

Great Book.

This is NOT a cook book. This is a nutrition book that has cooking information and recipes. You get a lot of nutritional information from this book. If you are interested in the recipes, get the physical book. It doesn't work very well to listen to the recipes.

No PDF of recipes - Hard to find

Very disappointed to find that there is not a PDF to go with this cookbook. There are 120 recipes but you have to listen to them and write them down I guess. ICK. Also, the way the book is organized in Audible makes it impossible to find a specific recipe with ease. I'm returning this book.
