Simple Nutrition Habits That Support Your Training
You don't need a strict diet to see results from training. For most people, a handful of simple habits makes a bigger difference than any meal plan they will abandon after a week.
Start with protein. Including a palm-sized serve of protein at each meal, such as eggs, Greek yoghurt, chicken, fish, tofu or legumes, helps you recover from training and keeps you fuller between meals.
Next, fill half your plate with vegetables or salad. The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend five serves of vegetables a day, and most adults fall well short. Frozen vegetables count, and they make this much easier on busy nights.
Drink water through the day, especially if you train outdoors on warm Geelong afternoons. Keep an eye on drinks that add a lot of sugar or alcohol without much nutrition.
Finally, plan ahead. Shopping with a list, keeping healthy snacks at work and cooking extra for leftovers removes most of the daily decisions that lead to takeaway.
