The Performance Diet
Since I’ve been getting back into the gym, I decided to go for the performance diet. After spending lockdown eating takeaways and cooking indulgent food several times a week, plus less exercising, I was definitely ready for a health kick. Whether you are a competing athlete, a weekend sports player, or a dedicated gym go-er, the foundation to improved performance is a nutritionally adequate diet. The nutritionists at Love Yourself have developed a winning formula to ensure you receive exactly the right amounts of lean fat, carbohydrates and protein for optimal performance. The performance diet includes a wide variety of foods like wholegrains, breads and cereals, vegetables, fruit, lean meat and low-fat dairy products to enhance long term nutrition habits and behaviours. The performance meal plan is made up of 35% Carbohydrates, 35% Protein and 30% Fat.
This meal plan is ideal for:
- Men & women looking to maintain lean muscle mass
- Individuals wanting to boost exercise performance or fuel training sessions
- Individuals tracking macros
- Men & women wanting to adopt a healthier eating regime
One crucial additional factor is the total calories you take in. Even the perfect macronutrient ratio is ineffective if your calorie intake is too high or too low. These daily meals will provide enough energy and nutrients to meet the demands of your training and exercise. Prepare to enhance adaptation and recovery between your training sessions, which in turn will enable you to achieve optimal body weight and body fat levels for performance.
My Review
The meals I received were actually all delicious! I’m not a picky eater by any stretch of the imagination, but I have had some very poor ‘diet’ meals in the past. These however, were the opposite. I received a few days worth of the meals. These included filling breakfasts, yummy smoothies, delicious pastas and stir frys, and plenty of flavour! I think the danger of so called ‘diet’ or ‘health’ foods is that they can often be super bland or boring to try and keep the calories down. Love Yourself pack their meals with good, healthy ingredients that are really tasty and do good for your body. I definitely felt like I had great energy levels for my performance at the gym. Plus, I never found myself feeling hungry or dissatisfied. I love that the meals and snacks are all quite varied so it doesn’t just feel like the same meals over and over.
I’ll pop a link to the performance plan page here so you can look at the most recent menu, as the meals I received might not be the same ones that are currently available right now.
