Never Too Late Nutrition

Depending on the exercise intensity and what the goal is, will determine when or if it's necessary to have a source of protein around your workout.

The anabolic window is over hyped, if your total daily protein intake is adequate more is not necessarily better, you may be sacrificing energy to fuel your workouts or aid in better recovery or get in more micro nutrients essential for health.

If your sole focus is muscle growth then I'd advise protein post workout for a few reasons.

Spike in MPS (muscle protein synthesis) to promote building and repairing of muscle tissue.

Less chance of stomach discomfort.

If you haven't had protein for a few hours prior to your session then it may be an idea to have some pre workout depending on length of session and time between meals.

If you'd like more nuanced information on this topic feel free to book in a chat through the link in my Bio.

Have a ripper of a day!

Fats, they're essential to sound health, don't fear them.

But what does a portion of fats look like?

As a rough measure, we can use our thumbs to estimate an appropriate sized portion.

Depending on your goal and type of fat source, you could have 1 or 2 thumbs of fats for serve.

Next time you're having a munch on some nuts or spreading some delicious avo on your toast, give this method a crack.

Fat is energy dense with over double the calories per gram when compared to protein or carbs.

Being mindful of this fact can help you achieve your goals, whether that's weight loss or weight gain.

Keeping nutrition simple will help us stick to a plan and reach our goals sooner.

Weight loss rates can be very individual.

If we plateau there are a few different options depending on how your feeling and how long you've been in a deficit.

Weight loss has a few variables with each person.

If you're not enjoying your diet or having trouble sticking to the deficit, have a step back and think about your approach and methods used.

A slight tweak may be all that's needed or it may be time to stop dieting for a while.

Meal prep can be appealing for many reasons, it can save you time and money, you have individualised meals to your liking, and you're never without a ready-made meal for yourself.

Is it essential? no!

Does it help in a lot of situations? yes!

Meal prep may be the secret you're missing.

It can be very useful, and when used well, can have you crushing your goals.

It can be just one of the tools in your toolkit.

Whether you utilise it is up to you.

It may or may not change your life and make eating a lot simpler and easier.

If you've been hesitant, give it a crack, what have you got to lose?

More importantly, what have you got to gain!

Ever had a dream that came true?

Our thoughts have a lot of impact over how we act, the things we do and the habits we form.

Anything great in this world started off as a thought.

What we entertain in our minds influences who and what we become, how we treat people and so many other factors in life.

If you want to be healthy it may start out as a thought like ‘I wish I wasn't puffed after going up the stairs’.

If this thought sticks around you'll start doing things that are in line with how you want to feel.

The thoughts you entertain today will lead to the choices you make tomorrow.

Want change? Act on the thoughts!

Want a healthy diet or seeking change with your nutrition act on it, no one will do it for you.

If you need help with a plan, simply dm or book in a call through the link in my Bio.

Have amazing day!

You'd have to eat 1.5 kilos of broccoli to get the same amount of calories from a 100 grams of broccoli chips!

Let that sink in a little.

The chips are over 15 times more calorie dense!

This may seem simple but if you want to eat broccoli, then eat broccoli.

If you want to eat chips then eat chips.

The fact that these are sold in the ‘healthfood aisle’ really makes you wonder wtf that actually means.

If you're eating vege chips thinking they're healthy and you're getting in some quality nutrition, you should drop me a follow or book in a call.

They may taste amazing but that's where the good news stops, they're energy dense, not quality nutrition and are marketed to make you think otherwise.

Please if you feel like having some chippies, pick your favourite ones and enjoy them.

If that's the broccoli chips then enjoy them for what they are a chip.
