Body & Performance Nutrition Program
This nutrition challenge is designed to personalize your diet based on your goals, such as weight loss, muscle building, or performance.
By tailoring your macronutrient ratios (protein, carbohydrates, fats), the program ensures that your diet is aligned with your specific objectives.
The most common macronutrient ratios are 40% protein, 30% carbohydrates, and 30% fat for weight loss and muscle building, or 30% protein, 40% carbohydrates, and 30% fat for performance and maintenance.
These ratios are calculated based on your activity level and desired outcome, ensuring you get the nutrients needed for your workouts and recovery.
For example, a person aiming for weight loss would focus on a calorie deficit, while someone seeking muscle gain would increase their calorie intake. The calculations involve breaking down daily caloric needs into the appropriate grams of protein, carbs, and fats.
By sticking to this plan, participants can achieve their goals in six weeks while enjoying meals that suit their preferences and avoiding any food sensitivities. The challenge provides structure, but all you need to do is follow the plan, track your food, and stay consistent with your workouts.
