How to Easily Plan Your Meals

In this video I go over a handout from Precision Nutrition on the whiteboard. The handout is “Create The Perfect Meal” and it can be found here: https://www.precisionnutrition.com/cr…

It’s an awesome tool to easily make a healthy meal. It includes various options from each food category, including leans proteins, vegetables, carbohydrate sources, and fats. Basically you make sure you have one of each category at every meal. How much of each one you may ask? Luckily portion sizes are included as well!

Hopefully this helps make the process easy for you and gives you one less thing to worry about in the crazy world we live in.

Since most of the world is on lock down, let’s try to get better at meal planning and fitness and come out of this even healthier than before!

Nutrition to Fuel Your Workouts

Make sure you are giving your body what it needs to perform at its best during workouts.

 

In summary, eat 1-3 hours before your workout. You’ll have to see where in that range works best for you. Have something higher in carbs with some protein. Try to stay away from fatty foods; these take longer to digest and will leave you feeling sluggish.

 

Try to eat sometime within an hour after you finish your workout. Whole foods and a complete meal are best but a protein shake or some other quick combination of protein and carbs works well too.
