As you meal prep for the week ahead, here’s the truth about carbs - they aren't always the problem… sometimes it’s a you problem. 🫶 😅
But don’t worry, no judgment here. Let me teach you how to use them better.
Carbs are fuel, no doubt about it - but constant grazing and eating carbs alone can lead to energy crashes and cravings. The good news is you don't have to restrict carbs, you just need to structure them accordingly.
Instead:
✔️ Place carbs around training
✔️ Pair carbs with a MVP teamate (spoiler, that teammate is protein)
✔️ Limit “naked carbs” (carbs eaten alone)
Protein + Carbs is always a better choice) over
“Naked carbs” (a solo piece of toast, muffin, or crackers).
Today’s action:
Make your pre- or post-workout meal include both protein and carbs to support energy, performance, and recovery. Tip: ✨️ Sweet Potatoes are such a great smart carb to pair with your favourite lean protein choices!
Eat carbs with intention, not by accident. A common myth is that your body performs better on fewer carbs; when often, it’s the chaos of how carbs are being eaten that’s actually hurting your overall goals.
