Hey E, As the weather warms up, now is the perfect time for a spring cleanse - and that includes what you put in your mouth!    Food fuels performance and if you do it right you'll have a lot more outdoor training capacity this season.   I hope you already know this, but "Out with the old processed junk, in with the good stuff!" Here are my top spring nutrition tips:   1. Get More Protein from whole foods and quality meats Whether you use the stovetop or the grill, choose clean grass-fed, grass-finished and organic meats (if budget allows), wild salmon (never farmed).  Most people don't eat near enough protein especially if they are active and working out. Protein is the big secret to success, but not all protein sources are created equal. Whole foods and real meat are better than protein shakes and supplements. As a standard goal, you should aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. 2. Choose In-Season Produce and Vegetables Incorporate spring superfoods like asparagus, spinach, radishes, artichokes, peas and cherries. Pick up fresh items at your local farmer's market or supermarkets that take quality seriously. 3. Smart Meal Prep Plan out healthy meals and prep items like hard boiled eggs, citrus chicken or overnight oats on Sundays so you have grab-and-go options waiting. Planning and prepping your meals helps prevent making bad food choices of convenience. 4. Swap the crappy carbs with as many vegetables and protein as possible. If you need carbs for strenuous workouts, I prefer organic, in-season fruit and raw organic honey as a fuel source.  Remember, the concept of "diet" means "way of life" rather than restriction.  Adopting clean eating habits empowers your goals rather than holding you back. Most importantly, As long as you're intentional about your food, focused on what to avoid (processed crap) and then look for as many 1-ingredient foods as possible you'll do just fine.    Stay Ready, Mo Copyright © 2024 Brute Force Training No longer want to receive these emails?
