‘Protein is directly correlated with muscle growth – and after all, your glutes are muscles,’ Jenna wrote on Instagram. 

‘On the other hand, a caloric surplus of nutritiously dense foods will allow the food you eat to be converted to good mass!’

Eating in a surplus to gain body mass means you need to consume more calories than your body burns. 

When she first started her fitness journey Jenna said growing her glutes was a ‘huge priority’, but she thought it was impossible. ‘The truth is everyone has the same three glute muscles; therefore, everyone can grow that booty,’ she wrote on Instagram

For lunch she enjoyed roast chicken with potatoes and a salad, then wagyu beef strips for an afternoon snack. 

To cleanse her palette and bump up her daily calorie intake she ate a bowel of green grapes and sliced mango. 

Then for dinner she prepared grilled salmon with zucchini and roasted pumpkin. 

Jenna also didn’t cut out dessert at the end of the day and enjoyed a small tub of dairy free raspberry sorbet.
