PROTEIN / Such an important nutrient for athletes (well everyone really, but particularly those who train and want to eat like the elite 👊🏻)! It’s not just about the total amount though it is about type, timing and distribution. Getting enough at breakfast and snacks is 🔑 to maximising lean mass gains 💪🏻. Five key facts about protein: 1️⃣ Complete protein stimulates maximal protein synthesis (growth or results) 2️⃣ Two core food groups contain complete protein - they are meat / poultry group & dairy group (tip anything that comes from an animal) 3️⃣ Male athletes should aim for 20-30grams at meals and snacks (females slightly less 15-25grams) 4️⃣ Protein requirements don’t really change day to day (unlike other macronutrients such as carbs) - this is because optimal recovery and the ability to gain lean mass happens for 24-48 hours post training so someone who trains most days is always recovering and can always gain lean mass! 5️⃣ Diversify your protein intake - you can choose from meat, chicken, fish, eggs, ham, turkey, cheese, milk, yoghurt and protein powder. Don’t just choose the same thing every day! This delicious meal was from @firedoor_surryhills 🙌 + + + + #hpc #healthandperformancecollective #sydneydietitian #foodindustrydietitian #performancedietitian #corporatedietitian #sportsdietitian
MY JAM / LOVE starting my day with a morning sweat sesh, a fab podcast on the commute & of course a damn good coffee🤸🏻‍♂️🚗☕️ How do you like to start your day? PS this sentence actually made me LOL when I saw it the other day in Perth 😂 + + + + #hpc #healthandperformancecollective #sydneydietitian #foodindustrydietitian #performancedietitian #corporatedietitian #sportsdietitian

LOL / This very important information has recently come to my attention 😝. I am a firm believer that you can have it all. Sure it takes dedication, moderation and some self control, but total restriction is not what life is about, irrespective of your goal. Whether you are eating for enjoyment, performance, body composition alterations or (most) disease management, none of the above requires perfection 100% of the time. If you eat well most of the time (80-90%), then have what you really want the other 10-20% of the time. Eat the cake, have the biscuit, or get the pancakes! Because that is good for your soul, your mind and your taste buds, and it won’t derail your goals. 💁🏻‍♀️ Hope you all have a fabulous weekend of movement, enjoyment, healthy brunches and maybe a dessert if that’s your thang ✨ Inspo via @bodyandsoul_au + + + + #hpc #healthandperformancecollective #sydneydietitian #foodindustrydietitian #performancedietitian #corporatedietitian #sportsdietitian
DRY JULY / We are six days in to the seventh month of the year, July - time is flying! Who out there is doing Dry July? Hats off to you for an absolutely fabulous cause 🎩. Are you curious to know what happens to your body when you stop drinking for a month? If so, head to the link in my bio for an article I recently contributed to via the @dailymail - Ms @chloe_mcleod_dietitian also had a little say as well. 💁🏻‍♀️ It is important to note that side effects are all relative to the individual and dependant on the amount and frequency one currently consumes alcohol. 📸 via @miraval (because I am rather fond of a pale, dry, French rose) + + + + #hpc #healthandperformancecollective #sydneydietitian #foodindustrydietitian #performancedietitian #corporatedietitian #sportsdietitian #dailymail
WEAPON / One of the main reasons I LOVE what I do 🙌. What you eat before, during and after training has the capacity to enhance your performance, delay fatigue, optimise adaptation to training & help you recover, repair & then repeat to the very best of your ability. Knowledge combined with practical examples are power. There are certain formulas which need to be followed, but it should never be a one size fits all approach. Individualised, specialised, high level nutrition will ensure you perform at your best and reach your full potential ✨ + + + + #hpc #healthandperformancecollective #sydneydietitian #foodindustrydietitian #performancedietitian #corporatedietitian #sportsdietitian
