Less than three weeks out from a title defense, and this how we are currently hitting our caloric/macros goals.
At this stage, the objective is not just to fuel performance, but to manage body weight.
Unfortunately, performance nutrition is often reduced to chicken, broccoli and rice, in many cases suboptimal from an adherence standpoint.
Bridging the gap between the culinary world and performance nutrition is not just aesthetic, has repercussions on performance and recovery.

Carbs, technically, are not essential for survival.
But sport is not about survival. It is about peak performance.

Case reports are not meta analysis, and a few elite athletes do not prove a universal rule on their own.
But when the real world keeps pointing in the same direction as the literature, it is worth paying attention.
Again and again, we see the same pattern.
When the goal is elite output, carbohydrate availability matters. Not because carbs are required to stay alive.
Because they are required to support glycogen, high intensity work, training quality, and recovery at the highest level.

Every year around this time, I could tell (and sell) many athletes exactly what they want by pushing aggressive dieting.
But instead, I want to repeat the same message, because I believe this is one of the biggest blind spots in the sport.
Under IBJJF rules, BJJ is not a weight cut friendly format, especially for colored belts. If some athletes preparing for Worlds are in a bigger caloric deficit than Khamzat is for a title fight that happens even earlier, something is off. I will never pretend to speak on the technical side of Jiu Jitsu, but in my lane, physiology and applied nutrition, I do think I can say this with confidence: we should be building better athletes, not better crash dieters.

Another short clip from my 15 minute analysis of what UFC heavyweight Tom Aspinall eats in a typical day.

For a heavyweight athlete who does not need to worry about making weight on a daily basis, this is a very well structured diet.

Not only is it clearly built with the support of a nutritionist, who is mentioned in the video, but Aspinall also shows a very strong understanding of the fundamentals of sports nutrition throughout the clip.

Overall, his approach is smart, practical, and performance driven.

Let me know which diet or nutrition protocol you want me to analyze in the next videos.
