NUTRITION PROGRAMME Using your personal information (age, height, weight & activity levels) it has been possible to estimate your current energy (calorie) & nutrient requirements. Given the fact that you are a professional athlete it is important to notice that your energy expenditure varies significantly from day to day. You burn more calories on high-intensity training days, less on rest days & significantly more on match days, therefore it is important this requirement is reflected in your diet. This programme has been developed specifically to promote fat loss whilst also maintaining muscle mass & optimising performance. Please follow the meal options provided as best possible for the first two weeks so I can assess how you react to the programme & make the necessary changes. I have provided supplement recommendations to help optimise performance, adaptation & recovery, please confirm your address so I can arrange delivery. Please stay in regular contact via email, phone or whatsapp & we will schedule the first coaching call ASAP.
