Nutrition is a heavily debated topic all across the internet.
While I am not a nutritionist or dietitian, I have been coaching people on optimizing their nutrition practices for years to help them create healthy, sustainable eating habits that will serve them for a lifetime. And there are a few key principles that tend to help just about everyone, regardless of their eating preferences, allergies, or health goals. Here are those principles:
- Eating plenty of protein to increase muscle mass & density
- Consuming the calculated calories to match your energy demands (TDEE)
- Matching your energy demands to your goals (weight loss, maintenance, weight gain)
That being said, the most common issue I have found people run into is that they don't eat enough protein in their diet to optimize their overall health and wellness.
I always talk about how I consume 150g + of protein every day on my social media, and how that has been the #1 health and wellness hack for me over the years (and by the way, 150g is not random - it's the number I calculated when I did the free FLOLYFE nutrition assessment + worksheet inside module 1 of the free Lvl 1 course).
But the naysayers are always asking me how the heck I get that much protein in a day..
So, instead of explaining it to you, here are 5x sample days of eating for me (snacks included!) that help me hit my ideal numbers.
This is what works for me, and isn't meant to be a one-size-fits-all way to eat. Just a springboard to help you discover a repeatable, flexible, and consistent way to eat.
Hope this helps. Drop your questions on this below! 👇
