Some Nutritional Tips for you to burn body fat and gain lean muscle. 1. Aim to eat 3 meals plus 2 – 4 small snacks per day depending on your goals (fat loss, muscle gain, etc). This will take planning on your behalf. 2. Spread those feedings out every 2.5 – 4.0 hours… Making sure to keep fat out of your pre and post workout feedings. Fat will slow down digestion and in turn affect recovery speed. 3. Aim to consume a source of protein at every feeding… and do your best to consume meals/snacks of either protein and fats or carbs and proteins. Just try to avoid having a meal/snack that contains sugars and fats together… it’s okay to have fibrous Carbs, such as green veggies with protein and fat as the insulin response/ storage will be minimal. 4. If fat loss is the goal then go low carb, not no carb. Any carbs consumed should be earned (via intense training) and be rich in fiber. 5. Limit fruit… to 1-2 servings max per day, sticking to low GI fruits such as apples, berries and grapefruit. It is a massive misconception that you can just nail endless amounts of fruit… it is sugar at the end of the day. ‘Natural sugar’ or not its still sugar and its fate will more than likely be fat storage. 6. Eat your higher carbohydrate content meals/snacks before 6pm and time them around your training sessions. The amount of carbs you should consume will depend on your goals and tolerance to carbohydrates. Consult with your trainer about your carb intake allowance/requirements. 7. After 6pm focus on consuming meals/snacks that contain protein only or protein and fat. Again fibrous carbs such as veggies are okay after 6pm, but avoid sugars and wheat… including fruits and biscuits 8. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and during your training sessions 9. Don’t drink your calories… no soft drinks, fruit juices and limit milk intake.
