Random breakfast from leftovers: 😜 English muffins for carbs, eggs and ground beef for protein, avocado 🥑 and a little plant based butter for healthy fats, cuties and bell pepper 🫑 for produce.
We don’t like to get into the nitty-gritty of nutrition numbers - we like to teach you about the food, and how to make sure we are getting enough by putting a balanced plate together. This is always the best method to make sure we are both supporting a healthy relationship with food and promoting performance benefits. However, it is sometimes helpful to provide examples on what an athlete might need (most often it’s more than they think! 🤔 ). This helps to understand visually, what adequate carbohydrate intake per day looks like.
For example, a 150 lb. athlete (68kg) will need between 5-7g/kg/day or 340-476g/day of carbohydrates if they are training at a moderate intensity training for 60 minutes per day. If we are trying to get ~400g/carbs per day, that’s 100g/meal (3 meals) and 50g/snack (2 snacks)
As a reference, this pictured breakfast contains only ~65g of carbohydrates. This would be the recommendation for a 110lb athlete.
 
Carbohydrate recommendations for athletes ⚽️🎾🏀:
Range from 3-12g carbs per kg of body weight/day

—3-5g/kg/day: Low-intensity exercise or skill-based exercise
—5-7g/kg/day: Moderate-intensity training, exercising for 60 min/day
—6-10g/kg/day: Moderate-high intensity endurance exercise, lasting 1-3 hours/day
—8-12g/kg/day: Moderate-high intensity endurance exercise, lasting 4-5 hours/day

Throw back to our Valentine’s Day meal!! 😊🥰🩷🩷🩷

Watching my kids throw their lobster tail 🦞 on the floor was excruciating 😂 , but we got through it. Balanced meal idea of steak, lobster, farro for grains, and green beans for produce.

🔈 PSA this is a low training day!! 🔈 I.e. off day, light shake out jog, brief skills training etc

When you:
• Skip meals
• Label foods as “bad”
• Try to be “good” all week
• Save calories for later

Your body notices.

And your brain responds by turning the volume up on cravings.

That’s not weakness.
That’s biology.

Intuitive eating isn’t about eating whatever, whenever with no awareness.

It’s about:
✔️ Eating consistently
✔️ Removing morality from food
✔️ Trusting hunger
✔️ Honoring fullness
✔️ Reducing food obsession

When you stop fighting your body, the chaos quiets.

You don’t need more discipline.
You need more permission.
