Losing weight and achieving fitness goals is just as much about what you eat as it is how often you come to train at a Tulsa gym. What you decide to use as your body’s fuel plays a huge part in determining the type of results you are going to see. However, it can be difficult when it comes to eating what you should during the week. Planning and preparation play a huge role when it comes to how you eat. Meal prepping can be easy if thought out and the rules of the game are followed. Let’s get started with some tips to help you out.
Plan Out Every Meal
We know it might sound like a lot of work, but when you schedule time and have a plan, it’s not that bad. The goal is to know what you need to prepare and what needs to be a part of each meal. Every meal should contain protein, healthy fats, veggies, and carbs (for pre-workout or post-workout). When you are starting out, it can be easier to do the same meal every day.
Veggies at Every Meal
The goal is to have veggies at every meal. If that isn’t working, try to get them in for at least two. Some great ways to get your veggies intake for breakfast is adding something like broccoli or spinach to a breakfast smoothie. Avocados are also a great way to get the veggie intake. They work in both smoothies and with eggs. Veggies play a huge role in nutrition and energy.
Snack Attack
Snacks need to be a part of the meal. You are going to have cravings throughout the day and you need to be prepared for that. Plan to have healthy snacks ready at work, at home, and on the road. This could be protein balls, nuts, or some type of fruit.
Meal prepping is a great way to plan and prepare for the coming week. It will allow you to stay away from eating out every day, which will also save money. Make sure you have what you need in your body in order to get the most out of your workout.For more tips on meal prepping, come check out our Tulsa gym and meet with the coach.
