Peak week nutrition doesn’t look the same for every athlete.
Sometimes the focus is making weight, and other times it’s simply showing up ready to perform. Both situations require a plan, but the details can look a little different.
When I’m making weight, I may make small adjustments to things like fiber, carbs, fats, or hydration, and stick with very predictable foods that I eat on a regular basis and that I know digest well.
If I’m not cutting for a weight class, my nutrition usually looks almost identical to a normal training week: keeping fruits, veggies, and higher-volume foods in while focusing on hydration, sleep, and staying calm and focused.
In both cases, the priority is the same: no new foods and no last-minute surprises.
Peak week should support the work you’ve already done.
