Couldn’t be prouder of our client 💪🏼

Joe started working with us in June with the goal of running a sub 3 hour marathon 🏆

He came to us having fallen out of love with food and struggling mentally. Today he has just gone and smashed it and ran the dublin marathon in UNDER 3 hours 🎉

Joe has been an absolute pleasure to work with and we are so delighted for him after all the hard work he has put in, thank you for trusting us to look after your nutrition strategies over the last few months👏

Making sure to include some of the foods mentioned above in your diet could potentially reduce your risk of catching an illness or decrease the number of days you may be suffering with symptoms! 🔢 These foods can also reduce the likes of inflammation, injury and enhance gut function 🤕🚫

Making a few changes/ additions to your diet could make all the difference 😁

✨Client update✨

Couldn’t be prouder of Alison O’Donnell who happens to be Amy’s mum who over the course of the last 2 years has lost nearly 6 STONE 😲

She decided after feeling constantly uncomfortable in her clothes and a severe lack of energy, enough was enough!

She now feels more confident, is wearing dresses for the first time in years and has noticed a boost in her energy levels!

‘I can’t thank the girls enough for their additional support over the last few years. They have kept me accountable, kept me motivated and and managed to provide me with education to make better and sustainable lifestyle choices.’

Bacon & Egg Hash 🍳

Nutrition Information per serving
🍴 593 kcal
💪🏼Protein - 31g
⚡️Carbs - 87g
🧬 Fats - 18g

Ingredients (serves 2)
600g potatoes (cut into cubes)
2 eggs
4 bacon medallions
Veg of choice (we opted for 1 yellow pepper, 1 green pepper, 1 red onion, 1 spring onion)
20g parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

Method
1️⃣Boil potatoes in salted water for 10 minutes
2️⃣Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan before draining and adding the potatoes
3️⃣At this point add your veg of choice, bacon, garlic, salt, and pepper
4️⃣Cook on a medium/high heat for a further 10-15 minutes
5️⃣Make two divots in the pan and crack your eggs into them, top with parmesan cheese and cook in the oven for 5 minutes.

💡The amount of carbohydrates in this meal can be manipulated by altering the amount of potatoes used. We opted for a higher amount of carbs because this meal was being consumed post-workout where we typically recommend that athletes aim for a carbohydrate content of 1-4g/kg post-training. White potatoes have a high GI which will aid in replenishing the glycogen stores which are depleted during exercise, therefore, supporting recovery.
