Tofu scramble wraps with sautéed kale and avocado slices for breakfast. 😋 🌯
➡️ Ever since finding out that it takes; 6 hours for protein to digest, 4 hours for fats, 1-2 for veggies and instant or up to an hour for carbs, I have been trying to eat accordingly.
➡️ Amazingly juices are instant even when they have vegetables and greens added 🙌🏽 So I still start the day with at least a pint of juice or lemon water with nothing followed for at least 20 minutes. This way my body always starts with rehydration first.
➡️ Keeping most fruit and sugar separate from high fats or excess protein will keep them from fermenting and causing bloating and digestive issues. It’s also best as the quick pick me up prior or during physical activity. Think instant energy and organ/gi tract detoxifier, so better on its own.
➡️ Eating this way kills bad cravings throughout the day, gives me more steady energy, allows me to have more fun with options for dinner because I don’t need to suddenly consume most my protein at the end of the day and BEST of all…. Keeps my mood more grounded.
➡️ It’s still important to consume some protein after a workout, even if it’s later in the evening. With cycling coaching I don’t get to choose the time I workout so I will still take a protein shake right after and unfortunately on those days I have a later dinner too but keeping all my other workouts at least 6 hours prior to bed time helps keep these healthy habits on point.
