Nutrition Advice from a Personal Trainer

The problem might be with your diet. If you are like the hundreds of clients we work with, one complaint we often encounter is nutrition. Half the people we train have something or the other that they need to fix about their diet. When it comes to nutrition, it’s very easy to lose sight of your goals and stick to them. That’s why you should look out for a couple of things.

What Will a Nutritionist Do? 

Balance your diet

Ask any dietician worth their salt and they will tell you that the average human being misses out on their basic nutritional requirements due to their dietary habits. So when it comes to fitness, balance is key. It’s a good idea to incorporate a variety of whole, unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats into your diet to get the most out of it. 

Portion control

The trick is to eat limited portions throughout the day instead of large portions at one time. Portion control helps in digestion and assimilation that support your fitness goals by controlling your calorie intake.

Incorporate supplements

It’s a good idea to keep track of the nutrition you are getting throughout the day and find gaps that can be supplemented with protein powder or a daily multivitamin to help fulfill your nutrient needs.

Stay hydrated

Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can help your body with digestion and absorption of food and with hydration reminder apps on most digital devices, it’s now easier than ever.

Be choosy

The best nutrition advice that any consultant would give you is to be choosy in what you consume.

It’s always a good idea to stick to nutrient-dense, high-quality foods rather than empty calories from processed and refined foods that do more harm than good.
