 5 Time Saving, Eating & Cooking Tips That Will Maximize Your Workout’s Results!


We all get busy throughout the week but it is crucial to make healthy eating decisions and to build healthy eating habits as a solid part of the results we work so hard for. That is why have I created this FREE E-Book, “5 Time Saving, Eating & Cooking Tips That Will Maximize Your Workout’s Results!“ This would have helped me during my lost days. So hopefully this will shed some light to get you the results you want.

1. You should by now know how many calories you should be eating to obtain your weight goal or the realistic physique desired. You should know your macronutrients like Fat, Carb and Protein Grams allowed per day. If you do not STOP!!!! Go here and figure that out first with a FREE Consultation with Coach Mike.

          Without knowing how many calories you should be eating, this leaves blindly going around eating this or that not knowing what you should be eating, eating it with, the amount, how often…. There are so many variables that could take away from your results. Even following a meal plan it may not be what is right for you and the amount of exercise you are doing at that time. Meaning since you are working out your body is changing muscle and fat mass which also changes your daily caloric intake allowance. Remember too many calories you gain fat; not enough calories you can also gain fat. Too low of calories tricks your body into thinking it’s starving and will feed off of your hard earned lean and sexy muscle and leave you with loose skin, weakened muscles and YES more fat! Sound familiar? 

2. Shop for the food from your Personal Trainer’s Nutrition Plan during 2 days of the week when you are out and about any way maybe coming home from work or running an errand. So now you may see how Tip #1 was the foundation for moving forward. Even though you are going to be shopping 2 times per week, it will still be less time than the time it takes to buy 2-3 meals per day. Find the nearest farmers market or grocery store that has fresh organic and all natural foods that are also pesticide and insecticide free. During this time, you will also grab your food containers for entrees and snacks and some zip lock sandwich bags, paper bags, utensils, ice packs, mini cooler etc.


3. Pick 2 days during the week to prepare and cook your meals and snacks. For me and my schedule, I cook on Sundays and Wednesdays. Sunday works good for me so I can cook my lunch and dinner that day as well as for Monday -Wednesday’s meals and snacks. I cook again Wednesday for Thursday – Saturday’s meals and snacks. This is a very crucial for most of our schedules we can be bored on the weekend and want to eat outside of our allowed foods. This way you will have meals already made, snacks ready for the taking during your times of boredom. But AGAIN stay within your allowed food. What you could do is put all Saturdays food in a bag and only eat from that bag. When it’s empty you are done for the day.

So ideally you want to have a few days apart from your cooking days. When you work with organic foods and all natural foods they spoil faster. This keeps things fresh and tasty to your liking and keeps your healthy and nutritional food handy when you are hanging around the house during down time.

4. Keep your meals simple and to the closet to single ingredient foods when possible. Yes, you could make the healthiest lasagna but that is a lot of things to manage. Here is what I mean by simple.

Cook 3 days’ worth of chicken for your protein. You could have carrots with chicken for 2 entrees, broccoli with chicken for 2 entrĂ©es and cauliflower with chicken for two entrees. You could boil all together and separate once cooked or even faster, eat the vegetables raw. Simple, healthy and a good way to build good eating habits to sustain results on the days you’re not training or working out.

5. Get your meals through a meal prep service like “MD Fitness Chef!” This will save you so much time when you just cannot get to your mandatory cooking. Either you or MD Fitness Chef will shop for your foods then will cook them in your home leaving you with all the meals in your fridge and cupboards labelled and ready. All you will have to do is grab and grub or heat and eat.  For a Free Meal Prep Consultation go here… http://www.mdfitness.biz/#!contact-us/c1mm4
