Basic Habits: Eating 20-30 grams of protein within an hour of waking up in the morning is an excellent way to kick start your metabolism. Another metabolic booster and support is to eat your largest meals earlier in the day starting with breakfast. Eating every 3-4 hours throughout the day keeps your metabolic rate stabilized and burning fat. Ideally each meal should be 15 grams or more of protein and make up 1/3 of your meal with the remaining 2/3 made up of produce and whole grains. Aiming to eat between 8-10 servings of Fruits/Vegetables daily is another great way to stay on track with your nutrition and support your active body. Staying properly hydrated daily is also key to supporting your fitness and weight loss goals.
We are focusing this week on eating every 3-4 hours and in some cases depending on meal(s) and your workouts every 2-4 hours. Waiting too long between meals will slow your metabolism, stress your hormones, and plummet your blood sugar. Continuously feeding your body supportively is what levels your levels and is what will rev your fat burning, muscle building machine and make the most out of your workouts!
