Nutrition

Eat a breakfast with a protein-carb breakfast, 35:45 ratio. Front-loading the protein will make it easier to maintain energy throughout the day. For example, A veggie omelet with sausage links. Or, adding a protein shake into your routine. 

30 minutes Post Workout Binge Meal
This is not the technical term, but it is vital to recharge 30 minutes after a workout with some protein/ some source of sustenance.



Before Bed?
A small protein packed snack before bed boosts recovery, contrary to popular belief, eating before bed will not make you a human manatee.


Protein; Where's Waldo of the Food World?
Nope. It's pretty easy. Here are some examples: 
  • Turkey/Chicken (MEAT)
  • Fish (Salmon, Tuna, Halibut)
  • Low-fat Cheese
  • Tofu, soy beans
  • Eggs
  • Yogurt, milk
  • Nuts/Seeds
WHAT I DO....
I love chocolate so for breakfast I am a huge fan of adding unsweetened cocoa powder (the baking kind) to Vanilla Greek yogurt, MIX. Then I add protein granola, strawberries or other fruits. It tastes just like chocolate mouse but doesn't have a ton of sugar and is full of protein. Also, its crazy good.
