Besides your lifting and running, you will need to develop a nutrition and sleep plan to reach your peak potential in athletic performance.
I recommend these two easy to make meals as a 1000 calorie “base” for your health. You need to think about which fresh foods go in your body first, so it is really a matter of prioritization and eating the important things first. Much like starting your workout with squats to ensure you do enough volume for legs when you are just starting to lift.
Meal #1
Sauteed Eggs and Toast
Ingredients: 1. two slices 100% whole wheat bread 2. 2 pasture raised eggs (Vital or the orange boxed eggs) 3. 100-150 cal unsalted butter
- Melt the butter in a non-stick pan.
- lightly salt the melted butter
- crack the two eggs into the pan. Cook on high heat until a thin film of cooked egg forms on the bottom of the pan.
- Swirl eggs around to make a thing omellete
- Flip omellete and fully cook all the way through
- serve with toast
That is the first meal.
The second meal is below
Meal #2
Oatmeal, PB, and Banana
Ingredients. 1. Quaker Whole Oats Instant 2. Healthy Peanut Butter 3. 1 banana
- Heat up water in your electric kettle.
- Pour 1-2 cups oats into a large coffe mug.
- Use miracle blade knife to put peanut butter in the mug.
- Pour boiling water into the oats. They can take more water than you think and it is better for the oats to be fully hydrated.
- Stir up this mixture with miracle blade and eat with spoon.
I have found Meal #2 to be especially useful in my nutrition implementation.
Combine these two meals with riding your Schwinn AD6 bike for 10-15 minutes per day and your cardio will be going up in a hurry!
