Do you struggle with knowing what to grab for food, when in a hurry?
It could be that you haven’t meal prepped or that you’re simply not organised
Does this sound familiar?
In these situations those who struggle to see results make fundamental mistakes
They load up on carb filled sandwiches, grab low protein and low nutrient meal deals
These leave them feeling bloated, lethargic and unsatisfied
Clients who succeed with dropping body fat consistently and maintaining their lean physique shop in the same supermarkets and spend the same time there (there’s no extra effort here)
These peeople understand that all main meals should be built around decent protein sources.
They know that a thin layer of ham in a ham sandwich doesn’t suffice.
They also know that eating a substantial meal doesn’t have to have a crazy ammount of calories if they have a strategy to costructing that meal.
That strategy is simple:
Grab a protein source in an ammount that that’s congruent with your daily protein targets and daily meal frequency.
For example if your goal for the day is 150g of protein and you eat 3 x meals a day, then 50g of protein per meal gets the job done.
Once you’ve ticked the protein box, let’s look at carbs.
If you like feeling full like me after a meal then high volume and lower calorie options are a winner.
Things like root veg mash and potatoes are ideal, especially in winter if you’re like me and love warm food.
Adding veggies to a meal is another great way to bulk it out, without crazy calories.
Veggies also provide great nutrients, minerals and vital fibre and you can habe any veggies.
Honestly, in most cases the more veg you can eat the better.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth you can go for fruit, a protein bar or even a snack that fits into your daily targets.
Look I get it that nutrition is individualised.
Everyone has unique targets, but this shouldn’t make nutrition confusing.
You should still base the majority of your meals around real food, whatever your goal is right now.
