Healthy Eating

Are you getting enough protein? You can't expect a Rolls Royce to run on the same amount of fuel as a Fiat Punto.

When you train, you actually damage the muscle, the repair and recovery is where the growth comes from. Without enough protein and other nutrients for the repair of the muscle after you have trained, your body will go into a catabolic state and lose muscle size.

  • Protein builds muscle!
  • Ensure you consume protein, whether meat, fish, eggs, cheese or milk with each meal
  • Divide your daily intake up into six servings or meals
  • Jacket potatoes, rice, pasta, whole meal bread are all forms of carbohydrates.
