We still get confused over how and what or what time to eat!
Just want to remind you guys that when we give you a nutrition plan with a day filled of food, that means you need to eat ALL of the food!
As far as I can think back bodybuilders have always been the leanest people!
1. They are scheduling their food intake no longer than 3 hours apart ( some even setting the alarm clock to interrupt sleep and getting another meal in)
2. They are keeping all 3 macronutrience Β in their diet: protein, carbohydrates, and good fats
3. They are eating super clean non processed foods
Sometimes we get clients that will cut out all carbs from their plan, yet wondering why they do not achieve the desired results!!
Carbohydrates are being digested starting from your mouth while chewing and traveling through your digestive system entering the blood stream turned into glycogen !
Mostly they deliver fuel to your body!
Eating to many carbs will be stored as fat for reserved fuel supply!
Eating not enough carbohydrates will leave you with muscle loss !
Your body has the ability to convert your muscle tissue to glycogen and burn it for fuel…
Protein is very important to replace lost muscle ( catabolism and anabolism keeps happening in your body every day)!
Not enough protein in your diet will keep you gaining muscle or even keeping your muscle!!!
Our whole body is made out of protein, including your bones….
Not eating enough protein can also cause loss of bone, hair, nails, skin….
Eat to much and it can be toxic to your kidneys and even your liver!
To much protein will also turn into fat as everything else overindulged π
Good fat ( from avocado, peanut butter, olive oil)
Can help you with muscle gain or maintaining while you are leaning out)
Fats help with your hair, skin, nails, but also with your pain receptors, balance your hormons, and keep you from feeling hungry!
Get your fats from vegetable sources or fish!
To much even from good fats as everything else will turn into fat and weight gain!
Don’t forget your vegetables π
Eat them in all colors to provide your body with excellent nutrition….
Fruit is a simple sugar and besides the high nutrition they will cause weight gain if eaten in abundance π
Chose foods in their natural state!
Don’t eat processed!
Get creative with your meals…
Don’t skip a food on your list !!!
