Fuel & Recovery

I keep my nutrition simple, repeatable, and performance-driven.

Built around foods that digest well, fuel training, and support recovery.

Quick Energy (Pre/During Training)

These are my fast-digesting carbs, which I use when I need immediate energy without feeling heavy.

Dried fruit (dates, apricots)
Bananas (go-to choice)
Honey & maple syrup
Rice cakes / cereal-type carbs

Quick glucose = immediate energy + helps maintain intensity during training

Everyday Fuel (Base Nutrition)

These are the staples that make up most of my day-to-day eating, simple, consistent, and easy to digest.

Fresh fruit (bananas, berries, apples)
Toast/rice cakes
Yogurt-based meals
Simple carb + fat combos 

Keeps energy stable and meals repeatable without overthinking

I prioritize high-quality, leucine-rich protein sources that are easy to include consistently.

Eggs
Greek yogurt
Cottage cheese

Protein for Recovery & Growth

Leucine is an essential amino acid crucial for muscle protein synthesis

Recovery Strategy

My approach to recovery is straightforward and consistent:

Pair carbs + protein post-training
Use natural sugars to replenish glycogen quickly

Patterns in My Nutrition

There’s a clear structure behind how I eat:
  • Fruit is a constant goal for me across meals
  • Fast carbs are used intentionally around training
  • Protein sources are simple and consistent
  • Meals are built for digestion and performance, not complexity
These are staples I come back to regularly:

Banana + honey + cinnamon 
Yogurt + oats + dried fruit
Bagel + jam + peanut butter
