let’s talk about fuel🍳🌯🥗🥪🥞🍌
FOOD is the energy that fuels our workouts and performance (along with good sleep and recovery of course).
When you are not providing your body with enough/proper fuel, it will show up as:
- reduced performance
- poor recovery (prolonged muscle soreness and fatigue)
- loss of strength and/or speed
- persistent fatigue
- low energy throughout the day
- frequent illness or injury
- poor sleep, feeling bad upon waking
providing our bodies with ample nutrition gives us the energy we need to both perform and repair.
When we are eating enough and providing our bodies with proper fuel, it can show up as
- increased energy
- hitting Personal Records during workouts
- consistently applying progressive overload
- sleeping well, feeling good/refreshed upon waking
- recovering quickly between sessions
TIP: Our bodies derive the most energy from sources of carbs and fats. Our bodies repair our muscles with protein we consume. so think: pre-workout meal: carbs and fats. post-workout meal: ample protein accompanied by carbs and fats and fibre
OH and stay hydrated💧 hydration assists our energy levels greatly alongside nutrition!
Food is fuel. give your body what it needs to succeed❤️
