LUNCH INSPIRATION …For the women out there who are really diving into nutrition and learning macronutrient portions and how it affects your training progress.
Fresh spinach leaves topped with shrimp, feta, walnuts, seasoning, and hummus. Red grapes on the side for carbs.
I usually just eyeball my portions but for fun, measured out to see if I was still on track. This entire plate was a total of 289kcal, 44g protein, 6g carbs, 10g fat. Grapes brought carb count up to 42g and total for meal was 409kcal. I’m good with this source of carbohydrate and will often mix it up with different options like whole grain toast, rice, etc…
Overall for the day, I’ll be right where I should be for a lift day, as I eat throughout the day. On lift days, I’ll consume more carbs to support muscle glycogen replenishment so my percentages may differ from day to day if I were to measure everything out.
Need help in understanding all of this? Message me. You can have the perfect workout plan, but if you are not dialed in to your nutrition, you may not be seeing the type of progress that you want. It’s really a thing if you’re in your 40s, 50s or beyond!
