NUTRITION

Fasted: warm water with a lemon first thing in the morning on an empty stomach
The goal is to reach 140g protein per day in which ever way you choose to split that up; along with carb cycling.
As we go, we’ll see where we need to pivot in upping your protein.

Goal: 1400-1800 kcal/day (depending on day)

  • Training days: higher carb/protein

  • Rest/light days: around maintenance or slight drop

⸻

Calorie Targets:

Lower Body Days:

1600-1800 kcal

Upper Body/running Days:

1400–1600 kcal

Rest Days:

1200–1400 kcal

⸻

Macro Breakdown

Keep protein consistent, cycle carbs.

Protein (non-negotiable)

140g minimum DAILY as discussed

⸻

Lower Body Days (High Carb – Growth Focus)

  • Protein: 140g min

  • Carbs: 160–180g

  • Fats: 50–60g

  • Calories: ~1800+

Keep in mind: Pre + post workout carbs matter most

Don’t fear carbs at night here

⸻

Upper Body Days (Moderate Carb)

  • Protein: 140g

  • Carbs: 140–160g

  • Fats: 50–60g

Additional Notes:

  • Try to cut out/minimize flour, alcohol, sugar, fried foods, highly saturated fats, preservatives as these are not helping us toward our goal. Later on you can add in moderation

  • Protein options: Chicken, salmon, with fish, steak, turkey

  • Nutrient dense foods is the goal. Complex carbs are best!

  • Cook with avocado oil or olive

  • Hydrate!!!! Shoot for 1 gallon water per day/electrolytes***

  • 8 hrs of sleep daily

  • Protein powder recommendations: Momentous or Equip are my go to.
