I'm back with part 3 of this series

In our journey toward effective body recomposition, nutrition plays a pivotal role. Today,

I’ll guide you through crafting a sustainable nutritional plan that supports your goals.

Key Components of Your Nutrition Blueprint

Nutrient Timing Research shows that eating strategically can enhance fat loss and muscle gain. Aim for:

• Pre-Workout: 20-30g of protein with carbohydrates for energy (e.g., Greek yogurt with fruit).
• Post-Workout: 20-30g of protein within 2 hours to kickstart recovery.

Quality Over Quantity Focus on whole, minimally processed foods to optimize macro and micronutrient intake. Here’s how:

• Protein Sources: Lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, and dairy.
• Healthy Fats: Avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
• Carbohydrates: Whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

Gut Health & Body Composition

Research demonstrates a strong connection between gut bacteria and body weight. Incorporate:

• Probiotics: Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut
• Prebiotics: Garlic, onions, bananas, and oats.

Practical Meal Planning Tips

Start small with your meal prep:

• Batch Cooking: Prepare meals in advance to save time and energy.
• Sample Meal Plan:
• Breakfast: Oats with berries and Greek yogurt.
• Lunch: Quinoa salad with chickpeas and mixed vegetables.
• Dinner: Grilled salmon with sweet potato and steamed broccoli.
• Snacks: Almonds, fruit, or protein shakes.

Your Action Steps:

• Try implementing a meal prep day this weekend. (Batch cook a protein source, then add carbohydrate and fat sources in desired proportions for your dietary framework.)
• Track your meals for a week to identify improvements
