The Top 3 Crucial Meals

The top 3 crucial meals will be another key to your fitness success.  I highly recommend trying to get into a routine with your meal schedule.  Keep in mind your eating routine will help you feel and look your best!  The top 3 crucial meals are breakfast, pre-workout, and post workout.

Breakfast:  Yes eating breakfast sounds like a broken record but this is in my mind the most important meal of your whole day!  In the morning you waking up with an empty gas tank.  Refueling in the morning will lay the path for rockstar energy and ultimate fat burning.  Your breakfast should contain a lean source of protein, complex carbohydrate, and a healthy source of fat. 

Preworkout:  Yes approaching your workout with a depleted state of energy is like jumping out of an airplane without your parachute:)  Really your preworkout meal should be consumed within 1 hour of your workout.  Your preworkout meal should consist of 15-20 grams of lean protein combined with 20 grams of carbohydrates.  Consuming a lean source of protein will aid in your recovery and allow the MAJOR FAT BURNING PROCESS to happen.  Your preworkout might consist of a high quality whey protein shake for easy digestion.

Postworkout:  Yes the big window of opportunity!  You have 30-60 minutes to ingest your post workout meal.  Visualize your body like my favorite Nintendo game..Pac Man.  Your muscles are craving help and this is a great time to refuel them and take advantage of this major calorie burning time.  The correct ratio is 25-30 gram of lean protein and 30-45 grams of carbohydrates.

Now most importantly choose your post workout meals wisely.  Stopping my the local sandwich shop will for sure pack on the MAJOR pounds:)))

Train smart and expect success!
