Something we can always strive to improve is our diet.
Whether it’s the foods we consume, how much we consume, or when we consume.
There is usually always some room to improve relative to our health and fitness goals.
If we look at our meals, prioritizing a protein source can be a great place to start.
This could be a lean meat source, whey protein or a vegan/ vegetarian alternative.
Opting for a carbohydrate and fat source to form the remainder of the meal can be a simple and effective way of doing this.
This could be rice, pasta, potatoes as examples for a carbohydrate source and maybe a few squares of chocolate after the meal as an example fat source.
Prioritising a source of fibre in meals is also quite overlooked and makes things a lot better in terms of digestion and overall gut health - get your veg and fruit in throughout the day to keep on top of this!
Making sure to get some nutrients in throughout the day is also recommended, i.e. Vit C, D, etc.
Something which can also be often overlooked is meal timing.
Try to space out meals where possible and into three to five slightly smaller portions. This will help us to better manage digestion and can also be beneficial in terms of nutrient absorption.
Spacing out meals may also help our energy levels as we are not going as long without food between meals.
These are just some basic principles I believe are useful to be aware of if you are looking to improve your diet and making sure you are doing what you can to prioritise your health and fitness goals.
