Eating For Fat Loss vs. Eating For Performance (Choose 1, Not Both!) Quick Tip!
People tend to look at certain foods as either healthy or unhealthy. A better way to think about this topic is to think about how the foods we’re eating are going to serve the fitness or weight loss goals we have for ourselves. In other words, establish your goal first, then ask yourself whether the foods you’re selecting are going to help you achieve that goal. Eating with the goal of losing weight is going to look very different than eating with the goal of maximizing fitness, recovery, and performance.
At the end of the day, if your goal is to lose weight, calories must be cut back. If your goal is recovery and performance, ask yourself, “is what I’m eating right now going to either fuel my best efforts, and/or will it help me recover for tomorrow?” If not, an adjustment needs to be made. In my experience, people spend so much time in limbo between these two concepts that they never really reach either goal. If this resonates with you, first establish your goal, come up with a plan, then stick to it!
