Nutrition is half the battle when it comes to crushing your workouts. Here's a simple, athlete-approved framework you can follow every week.
1. Start with the Plate Method
Fill half your container with colorful veggies, one quarter with lean protein, and the final quarter with complex carbs.
2. Batch-Cook Proteins on Sunday
Set aside 60 minutes to bake chicken breasts, roast chickpeas, and hard-boil eggs.
3. Flavor with Local Produce
Swing by Rochester's Thursday Downtown Farmers Market for fresh greens, berries, and herbs.
4. Hydration Station
Add sliced cucumber and lemon to a 64-oz water jug.
5. Smart Snacks
Pack single-serve Greek yogurt, almonds, or protein balls.
Final Tip
Consistency beats perfection. Prep what you can, keep it simple, and adjust portions based on training load.
