Protein: Palm-sized portion

Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth. It plays a crucial role in hormone production and immune function. Including lean sources of protein in your diet can help maintain muscle mass and support metabolic health.

Carbohydrates: Cupped hand-sized portion

Carbohydrates are the body's primary energy source. Choosing complex carbohydrates like whole grains and vegetables provides sustained energy and essential nutrients. They also aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Fats: Thumb-sized portion

Healthy fats are vital for brain health and hormone production. They help absorb fat-soluble vitamins and provide energy. Incorporating sources of unsaturated fats, such as avocados and nuts, can improve heart health.

Vegetables: Fist-sized portions

Vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are low in calories and high in fiber, making them an essential part of a healthy diet. Eating a variety of colorful vegetables can enhance overall health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

QUICK TIP

  • Eat slowly and stop when you feel about 80% full — you can always eat more if you’re still hungry later.
  • If you’re hungrier on training days, add an extra fist of veggies or half a palm of protein.
  • Still unsure? Take a photo of your plate and send it to your coach for feedback.
  • Keep it simple. Build your plate. Eat mindfully. Feel good.
