Coaches Notes
Hey Team,
Ever wonder if you’re eating properly around your workouts to meet your goals?
Eating well around your workouts can increase performance, increase recovery, decrease soreness, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass and increase your overall awesomeness. It’s science.
I’ll break it down for you based on two different goals but keep in mind these are broad guidelines and are only a small part of a strong nutrition plan. If you are looking for more detail & specifics for your body and your goals, join us for the Jacked & Tanned Nutrition Challenge in September.
GOAL #1 – FAT LOSS
Pre-WOD
Eat 2-2.5hrs prior to coming to class (or a small piece of fruit if you come @ 6am)
During-WOD
Water only or Water & BCAAs
Post-WOD
Eat within 1hr post workout
Again these are broad suggestions. Aim for a balanced meal of carbs/protein/fat (40/30/30%) prior to your workout and again post workout. Calorie needs will vary based on the individual.
GOAL #2 – PERFORMANCE & RECOVERY
Pre-WOD
Eat 60-90min prior to coming to class
During-WOD
BCAAs & Water or 2:1 Carb/Protein mix
Post-WOD
2-4:1 Carb/Pro Recovery Drink @ 30min post, regular meal @ 90min post
Try out these timing guidelines and let me know how it goes. It’s time to get on the gainz train.
