Sports nutrition meal
planning
If you just want to 'shape up' in the
gym, or improve your training / performance for the next Olympics, sports
nutrition will be crucial to your success.
The
secret to sports nutrition meal planning is to eat and drink the right
foods / drinks at the right time.
A plan to suit you
You need a plan for your individual circumstances and objectives. There is a difference between wanting to 'shape up / lose weight' in the gym or fine-tuning your training to further improve your
performance.
December
last year I was an overweight ( 89 kg ), not particularly
healthy, international business manager. My weight was on the rise and my
fitness on the decline. I just could not find a way to mix business travel
and health. Then I learnt about Herbalife, and started to use the weight control
products, within a few months I had reduced my weight to 79 kg. I
have since started phase two of my health plan, building muscle, endurance
and all round fitness.
Now I am still an
international business manager, but my weight is 80 kg (built muscle, and
reduced fat further), magnitudes fitter, very healthy and overflowing
with energy and vitality.

The equation is
quite simple : What you put in, you get out !
Is your current ‘fuel supply’ providing your body with
everything you need?
If you are not sure whether to reply yes or no, check our
plan below and tick which one you are currently using.
(tick any you are currently using - if you are not sure
leave blank)
1
Step One
: Muscles = Fuel Tanks
Rapid response fuel is stored as carbohydrate (muscle glycogen).
Do you ?:
Eat carbohydrate-rich foods before exercise to slow down drain on
your fuel tanks
2
Step Two
: Optimum Time to Top-Up with
Carbohydrates
Do you ?:
Large meal 4-6 hours before activity
Lighter meal 2-3 hours before activity
Snack Up to one hour before activity
3
Step Three
: Keep Your Fuel Topped Up
Do you ?:
For long duration activities (60 minutes plus), drink fluids with
a weak solution of simple carbohydrates
4
Step Four
: Make use of your reserve fuel
tank
Stored body fat = fuel for long-haul events, although we have a
potentially unlimited supply of fuel from stored fat, we can only
burn fat as a fuel when combined with carbohydrates
5
Step Five :
The importance of fluid
Do you ?:
Drink fluids at least every 15 minutes.
(Do not wait until you are thirsty)
6
Step Six :
Protein for muscle maintenance and
muscle growth Do you ?: Do
you have enough protein in your diet?
You need 1.25 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight
(1.25 grams/kg for the ‘ball’ sports and 1.50 grams/kg for the
more extreme sports such as marathon running and body building).
7
Step Seven :
Protein vs. Carbohydrates
Do you ?: Have the right
balance of protein and carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates = instant fuel for the muscles. Protein repairs
damaged muscles, maintains muscle mass and increases girth
8
Step Eight
: Best time to refuel the tanks
(muscles) Do you ?:Within
30 minutes of ending exercise, take in easily digestible
carbohydrates.
(These
are converted to glucose and stored as glycogen, your quick fuel)
9
Step Nine
: Reducing recovery time
Do you ?: Add
antioxidant antioxidant nutrients
to your diet.
( adequate supplies of protein also helps).
10
Supplementation
Do you ?: Take
in extra multivitamins and minerals.
(Multivitamin and mineral supplement assists the body's chemical
reactions, regulatory processes, and forms structures important
for athletes who may be susceptible to decreased immune systems
due to excessive physical exertion)
