#1 - Meal prep. loads of athletes will snag a quick snack like Doritos, clif bar, or cheezits for school or before practice. These probably do more damage than good since our bodies cannot easily digest these foods. The most bioavailable foods are going to be from whole food sources. This means the body can easily absorb and use the nutrients it’s given. So start meal prepping! Cook on Sunday, slap into a Tupperware, grab on Monday. Easy, quick, and you’ll start outperforming everyone who’s running off of Dorito dust.
#2 - Ruminant meat has been shown to increase performance due to its insane micronutrient profile. Ruminant animals (more than 1 stomach) are far more efficient at extracting the vitamins and minerals from their diet. In turn, we benefit from micronutrients like vitamins B12, B3, B6, A, E, selenium, zinc, iron, creating, taurine, glutathione, stearic acid, etc. If you want to improve performance, eat ruminant meat - beef, lamb, deer, bison are the most common.
#3 - Keeping the AC on makes you colder. When you’re colder, you’re body works harder to keep you warm. This will burn more calories and make you hungrier. Meaning you’ll have to eat more.
# 4 - Ps stand for potato’s, pasta, and pancakes. You want to eat these at night because they’re highly satiating - meaning they make you full fast. If your goal is to gain weight, you want eat more throughout the day. So stick these foods before bed.
