Look, I get it, everyone’s giving you diet advice left, right, and centre.
Apparently everything can give you cancer from a cigarette to a can of Diet Coke.
It’s all a bit much, isn’t it?
Realistically… it doesn’t have to be!
Nutrition is FAR simpler than it’s made out to be.
You’ve got 3 main macronutrients to focus on;
PROTEIN 🍗
Most protein comes from animal sources, however, as science gets more advanced, you’re finding protein in everything. Protein’s job is to repair all the broken muscle tissue from your workouts, make you feel full, and making sure the body can repair itself overall after usage. You only need about 0.75-1.5G of protein per KG of bodyweight, depending on your activity & goal.
CARBOHYDRATES 🍞
Your body’s MAIN energy source! Carbs should make up at LEAST 50% of your overall calories, and making sure we *try* to pick things such as whole grains, oats, pastas, fruits, etc. however white variants of things such as bread, pasta, rice, etc, shouldn’t be as villainised as they are - they’re not gonna blow you up to agustis gloop size, they’ll give you a s**t ton of energy to lift heavier, move more, and push yourself better. Stop worrying about your ham & cheese sandwich having white bread and just eat the fu***ng thing!
FATS 🧀
So - you’ve got your protein target and lots of carbs - the rest is essentially fats.
Fats are used to keep your brain & body function going, such as keeping your immune system in check, protecting internal organs, and keeping your central nervous system working. Fats are VERY calorific compared to protein & fats. They’ve got 9 calories per gram, compared to Carbs & Protein’s 4 calories per gram. So we can have less of them overall by default. When I mention fats, your default assumptions probably go towards cheese, butter, oil, chocolate, etc. However! - you do get fats that are very beneficial for the body, such as fatty fish, red meat, & avocados!
So - I hope that helps clarify things. If you’re still stuck, DM me the word “BREAD” and I’ll give you a hand!
