Nutrition & Wellness Program: Week 7

During week 7 we want to address how you eat on training days versus rest days.  On days that you workout you will expend and need more energy than the days that you rest from the gym.  You will need to consume more carbohydrates and a little less fat.  On rest days you will need to consume a little bit more fat and you’ll subtract some of your carbohydrate intake.  Start by adding an extra 1-1.5 cups of a complex carb in the meal you eat before you workout and add 1.5-2 cups of a complex carb to the meal you eat after you workout.  On rest days don’t add the extra carbs instead, make sure you have equal fat at each meal.  The fat is what will keep you satiated throughout the day so make sure you have some each time you eat and you won’t need to worry about nutrient timing on your rest days.
