Fueling for recovery is important especially when doing a brick workout (2 workouts in a day) like cycling and running🚴‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️

Glycogen stores gets depleted or low when training twice a day and if the intensity is high. So to prevent injury and perform well in your second workout, eating enough carbs to get the recovery process started is crucial

✅Aim for 6-10g/kg of body weight
✅Don’t just sit after your first workout - stretch and continue to move your body- lightly
✅Make sure your food is prepped and ready to eat after your second workout

We do know that there are “anti-nutrients” in plants. It’s not new news.

Instead of demonising plants for their “anti-nutrients” why not consider the benefits of eating plants and the great nutrients they do have🥦

And if you are concerned about iron absorption, just remember that you get iron from multiple different food groups and not just from spinach.

That’s why eating a variety of different plants, nuts, seeds and legumes is beneficial because you’ll get iron from these foods, and they also have many other beneficial nutrients for human health👌🏻

Most people don’t consume the recommended fibre of 30g per day. Fibre plays a crucial role in gut health and in turn overall health. It ✅lowers cholesterol ✅ lowers blood sugar spikes ✅keeps you fuller for longer ✅decreases the risk of coronary heart disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes. Fibre from beans, wheat or any other fibre rich food does not rot in your colon. If health is important to you and you want to learn how to fuel appropriately, and ditch the nonsense you see online, reach out to me and we can design a personalised nutrition plan for you.

You need the essential amino acid called leucine to build muscle. Your body cannot make it and MUST get it from food.

🥩Red meat is not the most nutrient dense food on the planet. And in what nutrient?🤔 just because a particular food is more nutrient dense in 1 or 2 nutrients than another food, does not mean it is the most nutrient dense food. A fig is more dense in iron than a pork chop so does this mean the fig is the most nutrient dense food? NO. Saying red meat is the most nutrient dense food is bizarre.

Pooping once a week is not a healthy sign. There is no gold standard amount of times when it is considered healthy as this will depend on person to person and the types of food you eat. If you eat fruits and veggies (which you should) then you’ll p**p more frequently because of the fibre you are eating. But general rule is going without p**ping for more than 3 days is far too long.

So called “influencers” are misleading you when it comes to nutrition. Be sceptical when you come across content like this. For example, he is comparing a cookie with steak. The cookie is loaded with added sugar and has zero nutritional value whereas the steak has no added sugar and is nutrient dense. The calories of the 2 are also not the same. So it’s an unfair comparison.
