Now that we have the proper terminology for the soft, flabby body of frat boys past and present, we want to help men (or women, we’re equal opportunists) achieve their Dadbod ideal.

The Dadbod Diet is mercifully easy: Leave the lean meats, leafy greens, and handfuls of almonds to Scott Eastwood. Each meal should have some element of the following: corn syrup, batter, melted cheese, and beer. Make sure to add the occasional super serving of synthetic protein to help develop the solid muscle beneath your flab layer.

Below, a three-day sample diet.

Day 1:

Breakfast: Orange Gatorade and a Clif Bar

Snack: Protein powder mixed into JIF, smeared on a single slice of white bread

Lunch: Two Trader Joe’s frozen burritos and a Wendy’s Frosty (no fries for dipping)

Snack: Two-thirds of a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, two Coors beers

Dinner: Six slices of a large Papa John’s pepperoni pizza dipped in garlic-butter sauce and three Budweisers

Day 2:  Workout day, heavy on the protein to maximize time effect of playing a pick-up lax game with the old brahs.

Breakfast: Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with extra American cheese, coffee, and orange Gatorade

Snack: Chocolate Muscle Milk

Lunch: Buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks from Brother Jimmy’s, a pitcher of Coors beer
