Here are a few things that will help with any struggling nutrition plan. Remember, you cannot, I repeat... CANNOT, out train a poor diet! The following are just a few tips to help you through the day.
1. Shake things up: start your day with a smoothie made from your favorite fruit, apple juice, and a little protein powder. This is a healthy, low calorie way to jump start your metabolism.
2. Mini meals rock: eat small meals every 3 to 4 hours to prevent feeling famished and overeating. By continuously fueling your furnace throughout the day, you'll also keep your metabolism revved up.
3. Have a power lunch: eat your largest meal during the day when you are burning the most calories.
4. Prime examples: pack in protein (fish, skinless poultry, lean meats, etc) in every meal- it helps you feel fuller longer by stabilizing your blood sugar.
5. Carbs are NOT the enemy: refined sugar and white flour are villains because they add no nutritional value to your food. Embrace healthy carbs (things made from whole grains), nuts and fruits.
and...
6. The "F" word: think fiber first when consuming said carbs. Eating between 25-35 grams daily will help you feel full longer. Good sources include apples, raspberries, and oatmeal.
Ok, I'm sure you've heard at least a portion of the above before. If you want additional help in structuring a proper nutrition program based around your training program, be sure to give me a shout and we'll get started immediately on putting something together for you!
