Three Starting Pillars of Nutrition
Our Three Pillars of Nutrition:
1) Energy Balance | A lot of nuance here, especially for factors that influence energy balance (hypothyroidism, PCOS, menopause as examples) but managing your intake vs expenditure can be a great starting point for meeting your health and performance goals.
2) Protein Consumption | 1.6g/kg maximizes muscle protein synthesis, helps with satiety, and has a larger thermogenic effect while digesting than fats or carbs.
3) Fiber Intake | 14g/1000 calories consumed. Attenuates blood pressure, cholesterol, assists in weight management, improves gut microbiota and digestive health, can be prebiotic in nature which aids in proper function for probiotics.
Do you hit all three consistently?
