5 NUTRITION HACKS TO BUILD MUSCLE AND SHRED FAT 🔥

📌 READ ME!!

Your nutrition is the main driver of your progress. Without proper nutrition you won’t build muscle or lose weight.

So here are 5 nutrition hacks to help you tone up and shred fat:

1️⃣: Start your morning with a high protein breakfast.

This is going to give you a head start with your protein intake for the day, while keeping you full so you’re not ravenous at lunch. Aiming for 20-30% of your total daily protein goal is a great place to start.

2️⃣: Implement more high fiber and volume foods for satiety.

These foods are filling, low in calories, and help regulate blood sugar and digestion which is all essential for fat loss. Incorporate foods like broccoli, Brussel sprouts, raspberries, and apples with skin.

3️⃣: Don’t drop your calories too low right away.

This usually means it’s going to be harder to maintain, you won’t have as much leeway to manipulate your calories if necessary, and your workouts may take a hit. Food is still fuel during weight loss.

4️⃣: Eat before and after you workout.

Skipping either meal is like trying to race on an empty tank and then skipping the pit stop. You might survive, but you won’t thrive. Eat carbs 15 mins - 60 mins before your workout to put fuel in the tank. Eat protein, carbs and fats post-workout to repair your engine and refuel your tank.

5️⃣: Remove trigger foods from your environment.

Out of sight, out of mind. Don’t keep trigger foods in the house - it’s a lot easier to say “no” once at the store, instead of 15 times every night at home.

Make sure to save this video and share it with a friend that wants to take their fitness to the next level 🔥
