#2: MACRONUTRIENTS FOR PERFORMANCE
Everyathleteknowsthethreemainmacronutrients:protein,carbohydratesand
fats.Havingsaidthat,itseemslikealmostnooneknowsthebestsourcesofeach.

Rememberthateachofyourmealsshouldhaveaprotein,acarbohydrateandafat

Protien
Proteinshouldbeeatenwitheverymeal.Eatbetween1and1.5gramsofprotein
perpoundofbodyweightdaily(Ifyou’re200lbs,eat200‐300gperday).
Belowarethebestsourcesofprotein:
‐ Freeranging,organicmeats
‐ Wildseafood
‐ Freeranging,organiceggs:NOTomega‐3enriched.
‐ Raw,organicdairyproducts
‐ Powders:Hemp,Rice,Gemma,andOrganic,Grass‐FedWheyproteinsare
best.Lookforminimalingredients,andzerochemicals.Onlyusewheyif

Everyathleteisdifferentandhasdifferentnutritionrequirements.Ifanyonetriesto

#6: THE TRUTH ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS
Idividesupplementsintothreecategories:FoodSupplements,GeneralHealth
Supplements,andPerformanceSupplements.
Foodsupplementsaresimplysupplementsthatreplacemacronutrients(proteins,
carbs,fats).Trynottousethesetoooften,nomorethanonceperdayattheabsolute
most.
Generalhealthsupplementsaresupplementsthatyoucantaketoaccelerateyour
healthandwellbeing.Thesearethemostimportantsupplementstotakebecausein

HerearetheONLYsupplementsyouneedtoconcernyourselfwith.Ifit’snotonthis
list,don’twasteyourmoneyonit.
FoodSupplements
1.) ProtienPowders
Thisone’sprettyobvious.Useproteinpowderswhenyoucan’tmanagetograbany
real‐foodprotein.
Ionlyrecommendgrass‐fedwhey,goat’smilk,rice,gemma,andhempproteins–
preferablyorganic.ThebestbrandsareSunWarrior,Vega,GardenofLife,and
Mercola.
2.) Omega‐3
Everynutritionistintheworldhasjumpedonthisbandwagoninthepastfewyears.
Usefishoil,krilloil,orcodliveroiltogetsupplementalomega‐3thatyouwouldn’t
otherwisegetfromyourdiet.Irecommendbetween5and10gramsdaily.
ThebestbrandsareGreenPastures,Mercola,andDr.Ron’s.
3.) GreenFoodSupplements
Thesearebasicallypowderedextractsfromgreenvegetables.Inormally
recommendyousimplyeatyourveggies,butthesepowderscanbeconvenientina

GeneralHealthSupplements
1.) Probiotics

10 years ago. Keep it simple, train big and eat bigger and you will be successful.
#7: TIE IT ALL TOGETHER
Step1:TimingYourMeals
Eat4‐6timesperday,atthesametimeeveryday,atthesameintervals.
Personally,Ieat5timesperday,in3hourintervals,at8,11,2,5,and8.Thisworks
forme.Figureoutwhichscheduleworksforyou.
Step2:DeterminingWhatFoodstoEat
Gotakethistest:
http://www.naturalhealthyellowpages.com/metabolic/self_test.html
Ifyouareacarbtype,eatmainly:
Lightmeats,eggs,fruits,vegetables,andnon‐glutengrains
Ifyouareaproteintype,eat:
Darkmeats,vegetables,andplentyofhealthyfats.
Ifyouareamixedtype,eatamixofboth.Findwhichapproachworksbestforyou.
Step3:DeterminingPortionSize
Portionsizedependslargelyonyourbodyweightgoals.Agoodruleistoeatuntil
youare80%full.Ifyouwanttoloseweight,youneedtoconsumelessenergy
(calories)thanyouexpend.Ifyouwanttogainweight,eatmorecaloriesthanyou
burn.
Prettysimplestuff.
Ifyouaretryingtogainmuscularbodyweight,doyourselfafavorandremember
thisrule:
Youaren’tnecessarilywhatyoueat,butwhatyouabsorbandassimilate.
Manycoachesrecommendforce‐feedingyourselfduringamassgainingphase,and
whileIhavesomeexperiencewiththis(duringmyveryskinnydaysIwould
consumeupto7000caloriesperday)Idon’tparticularlyrecommenditformost
people.
Yes,youneedtobustyourassatthedinnertablejustlikeyoudointhegym.
However,eatingmorefoodthanyoucanassimilateandbeingstuffedand
constipatedallthetimeisnotgoingtobenefityouinthelongrun.Ahealthy
organismwillgrowfasterthananunhealthyorganism.Graduallyincreaseyour
toleranceforfoodasopposedtostuffingyourface6timesperdayandyouwillbe
betteroff.
Iwillalsosaythatitisbeneficialtooscillateyourmassbuildingefforts.
WhatImeanbythisis,goalloutinthekitchenandinthegymtryingtopushyour
