EATING FOR LIFE AND PERFORMANCE
The following guide is how I (and my clients) stay fuelled for life, training, working and adventure. It's very simple and is something I am able to sustain throughout the year without constantly having to restart. First we'll start with my core principles: - Eat 2-4 different fruits and 2-4 different vegetables per day Why? Variety improves micronutrient intake, supports energy production and muscle function. It enhances recovery through anti inflammatories and increases fibre intake for appetite regulation and gut health. It’s a simple tip to keep energy consistent throughout the day. - Prioritise whole foods Why? Whole foods are naturally higher fibre and micronutrients which improves satiety and stabilises blood sugar. They also reduce the likelihood of overeating by lowering calorie density, increasing fullness. Whole foods form a nutrition base that fuels training and maintains lean mass. - High protein meals Why? Protein plays a direct role in muscle repair, hormone production and immune function which makes it essential for anyone training regularly or managing a busy lifestyle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a sample of what I eat in a day with the goal of staying fuelled through the day and at a consistent bodyweight all year round.
