5 Great Tips For Powerlifting Nutrition

1- Eat your fruit DO NOT drink it - Fruit drinks are just as bad as drinking soda so stay away from them and soda.

2- Use main meals that are about the size of a fist (use that model for what size your portions should be) - A steak dinner should be 6-8 oz's (size of your fist) not a 16-24 oz steak - (the size of your head). This will help you maintain a healthy weight class and ensure that you get the best caloric load not an overload.

3- Add low sugar or no sugar flavorings to your drinking water. These are great if you have a hard time with water by itself. Energy drinks are POISON in a can so stay away at all costs - they are terrible for the insulin and endocrine system. Fake sugar is a bust and real sugars (fruits) are a must.

4- Pair your carbohydrate loads with protein loads. Never skip breakfast this will come back to haunt you in this sport. Breakfast should be a 2:1 ratio of proteins to carbs. You MUST load proteins in your system for breakfast to enhance recovery and post-workout needs for muscles.

5- Go nuts for nuts - walnuts and most other nuts are high in protein & omega 3 fatty acids - this is great for the metabolic processes of recovery and muscle gain associated with our sport. Limit the portions to 1-2 servings and eat them on a daily basis.
