Finding your nutritional training age

A fundamental error that a lot of people making when approaching their nutrition is biting off more than they can chew, pun intended - then getting overwhelmed, repeatedly failing and giving up entirely.

Nutrition shouldn't be so difficult to install that you can't do it consistently. It needs to be something that slots into your lifestyle.

 

What you'll find below are some really simple qualifiers that'll help you define what's appropriate for your lifestyle right now. We break nutritional interventions up into "training age" categories just like we do resistance training.

 

Find out below whether your'e better off starting at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level.   

level one

Daily Targets: 

​

  • Make time for 2-3 meals per day where you sit, eat and focus on chewing fully, putting your fork down between mouthfuls and being free of work or tech based distractions.

  • Drink 1 litre of clean water for every 30kg of your bodyweight per day.

  • With every meal consume 2-3 portions of fruits or vegetables and a palm sized portion of lean protein. Thats 6-9 portions of fruits or veg per day and 3 servings of lean protein.
