Nutrition Basics: Protein, Carbs, Fats and Portions

A practical, no-nonsense guide to eating for strength, energy and fat loss.

You do not need a perfect diet. You need a repeatable one that supports your training.

Protein

Aim for a palm-sized portion at each meal. Protein supports muscle repair and keeps you full.

Carbohydrates

Carbs fuel your training. Choose fibre-rich sources like oats, potatoes, rice, fruit and legumes, and eat more around your workouts.

Fats

Healthy fats support hormones and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. A thumb-sized portion per meal is a good starting point.

The plate method

  • Half the plate vegetables or salad
  • A quarter protein
  • A quarter carbohydrate
  • A thumb of fat

Hydration and habits

  • Drink water through the day.
  • Eat mostly whole foods and enjoy the rest.
  • Plan the week, not just the day.
