Mean, green & packed full of vitamins such as E & K to help keep your immune system firing & support your overall health & wellbeing.⁠
⁠
Smoothies are a great way to get extra portions of veg in especially for those fighters who don't eat their greens - which is quite common & hit daily fluid targets.⁠
⁠
Get creative but as a rule of thumb go for 2 portions of green fruit or veg (apple, kale, spinach, celery), 250-300ml of fluid (milk, water, coconut water), 1 banana & some greek yogurt or protein powder to increase the protein content!⁠
⁠
Here is what I threw in:⁠

Banana⁠
Spinach⁠
Kale⁠
Almond/Peanut Butter⁠
Coconut Water⁠
Greek Yogurt ⁠

Most of the time fighters or their coaches will pick a weight class because they think they will be a more dangerous more powerful fighter by moving down.⁠
⁠
The issue with this is that most of the time no real assessment or needs analysis has been done to see if the fighter can actually healthy get down to that weight class.⁠
⁠
You have to look at the numbers & do some form of body composition analysis to see if the fighter can fight at that weight class.⁠
⁠
For example...⁠
⁠
If a fighter is already 7% body fat & needs to drop over 8-9kg to get to fight weight - they should probably not be fighting in that weight class....⁠
⁠
Do some form of assessment before you decide to move down in weight as most of the time - it isn't safe to do so & the performance advantages you once thought you would get will just go completely out the window.⁠
⁠
Test don't just guess...⁠
⁠
⁠And as @leanne_prichard says, don’t be a dick!

Nice to get this in the post today!

Was a slog of a year - but great to move forward with the knowledge that I went through the correct academic pathway to help provide solid nutrition advice to fighters I work with!

But the truth is - I’ll never stop learning

Every day is a school day - and it’s shocking to know how much you don’t actually know.

Proud to be qualified at what I do - here is to the next steps 🥊

⁠
Collagen is the new kid on the block & is cropping up in combat sports as a go to supplement but do you as a fighter know why it may be beneficial to take?⁠
⁠
Collagen is essentially the most abundant protein in connective tissue (tendons & joints) & is high in amino acids including glycine, hydroxyproline, and proline.⁠
⁠
The ingestion of a collagen supplement/protein paired with a dosage of vitamin c can help promote the synthesis of collagen in the joints which aids reductions in joint pain & recovery from any joint/tendon based injuries. ⁠
⁠
When/Why Would Taking A Collagen Supplement Be Useful?⁠
⁠
- If You Suffer From Joint Pain (Wrists etc)⁠
- If You Are Rehabbing From a Joint/Tendon Injury ⁠
- Before Fasted Impact Exercise (Running)⁠
- Before Strength Sessions To Protect Joints⁠
- To Hit Daily Protein Target (If You Struggle)⁠
- As A Daily Protective Measure⁠
⁠
You can get collagen protein in the form of a drink (Wowhydrate) but in my opinion they don't taste great (you might like them - nutrition is individual).⁠
⁠
I have had good feedback from boxers taking Nutrition X's repair shots which contain 20g of collagen & 96mg of vitamin C.⁠
⁠
As always assess the need to take a supplement before you spend your money! ⁠
⁠
If you want any questions answering on collagen drop me a message be happy to help!⁠

I’m not a chef - I’m the numbers guy People o

I’m not a chef - I’m the numbers guy

People often think that I’m a chef & I am going to send them some truffle infused coconut tofu vegan recipe but this isn’t that case.

Sure, I’m a pretty competent chef & I trained to be one at college, but I’m not a qualified one.

I see my job as looking at the numbers behind what you eat.

How many calories do you as an individual need depending on your goal, what training you are doing that day.

How many grams of carbohydrates do you need before, during or after sessions.

How much protein do you need per kg of your lean mass depending on your goals.

How to acutely cut weight safely in fight week by plugging in low fibre foods or manipulating sodium.

I can then put that into practical recommendations & recipes which I think you as an individual may enjoy to help you get the most out of your performances.

I’ll let chefs stick to what they are good at, which is creating foods/recipes - I’ll stick to what I’m good at, telling people what to eat & when!

Oh & for the record for the 1800th time - no I don’t supply meals or give one off meal plans 😂
