EAT FOR STRENGTH

EAT FOR STRENGTH

Hey guys,

for those of you train hard, but still find yourself burning out near the end of the week, overtraining and getting injuries or not getting the strength that you training warrants, here is a sample 4 day diet plan that will help you to overcome those obstacles.

So many people forget that your diet and eating plan is just as important as your training regime. You can lift weights and train everyday for a month like a mad person and never see gains unless your diet and nutrition coincides

With this sample plan, you’ll consume more overall calories on training days as you bump up your fat and carb intake (protein relatively remains the same). The recommended nutrient totals are based on a 180 pound individual, so if you weigh significantly more or less than that, alter the portion sizes accordingly. All meals should be spaced about 2-3 hours apart.

One tip is that I recommend eating salmon 2-3 times per week; other fish can include halibut, scallops, mackerel, kingfish or snapper - mmmmmm goooood
