Consistency in nutrition isn’t about perfection… it’s about simplicity, taste and variety.

If every meal was just salmon 🍣, rice 🍚 and kale 🥬, I’d get bored pretty quickly.

The trick? Keep the base simple and change the flavour.

This bowl is a perfect example 👇

Salmon, rice and greens…
but flavour it up with a quick dressing and suddenly it’s a completely different meal.

And that’s how you stay consistent with healthy
eating

💡 Recipe:
Salmon fillet + cooked rice (quantity dependent on goals) kale/greens + crushed almonds or walnuts.
Mix 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 tsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp soy sauce for a quick dressing.
Cook salmon, add to bowl with rice and greens, drizzle dressing and top with nuts.

What should I eat before exercise?
….
Something I get asked a lot!
…
What you eat really depends on how much time you have between eating and training .. why ? This matters because it takes time for food to be broken down to glucose or energy!
…
To fuel well match your food with how much time you have .. a few hrs ? A meal is fine but keep it low fibre, moderate protein and fat, 1-2 hrs needs lighter fuelling w.g a sandwich or wrap with fruit. 1hr or less needs quick fuelling - a sports drink, bar or piece of fruit.

January doesn’t get to decide your strength or performance.

Two athletes.
Post-Christmas training.
No extremes. No punishment. Just fuelling that works.

Emma raced at HYROX Manchester
➡️ 10th in her age group
➡️ No energy crashes
➡️ No panic sugar grabs
➡️ No jelly babies mid-race

Andrew finished in 1:20, a few lbs lighter, strong all the way through.

This is what happens when nutrition supports the body instead of fighting it.

Performance isn’t about restriction.
It’s about consistency, resilience, and protecting your health long-term.

👇 Save this if you’re done sacrificing strength in 2026

Runners — don’t risk low iron slowing you down ⚠️
Every run breaks down red blood cells (foot-strike haemolysis), so protecting your iron really matters.

Here’s the big one ⬇️
☕ Avoid tea + coffee with meals — their polyphenols bind to iron, blocking absorption.
🍊 Add vitamin C to boost how much iron you actually take in.

Small changes = stronger iron, stronger miles. 🏃‍♀️💥

Sniffles starting? 👀
Zinc is one of the FEW things proven to shorten a cold — if you take it fast.
Zinc acetate lozenges, within 24 hours, every 2–3 hrs. ⚡️
Athletes: ALWAYS choose supplements that are Informed Sport tested.
No shortcuts. No risks. Just performance.”

3 Red Flags They’re Not a Nutrition Expert
Red Flag 1:
“They want to sell you a supplement before they ask what you actually eat.”
If the solution is always a powder → run.
Red Flag 2:
They speak in absolutes:
“Cut carbs.” “No dairy.” “Sugar is poison.”
Nutrition isn’t a cult!
Red Flag 3:
They base everything on personal experience instead of evidence.
“I did it, so you should too” # science. 3:
