  • Good advice, how do I add more than one image here? Maybe I just don’t know what I’m doing.

    Thank you for the kind words on the design, I thought it turned out pretty great too, I definitely should have made her put the order in first, but you know… life lessons and all that.

    Sure you can let me know what you think about it, though to be completely honest, it was her ideas that I just implemented, but I’d love to make it better.










  • I hired a nutritionist for a while specifically for soccer. She sent me a chart, that I don’t have handy of course that basically gives you a 4 hour window of how to eat.

    4 hours before, a medium amount of low fat protein and a large amount of carbs. Add a bit of sodium/potassium.

    3hours before less protein about the same carbs.

    2hours before no protein only carbs

    1 hour if you have too, only carbs. Example here is granola, or edamame.

    In all cases it’s easier to avoid meat based protein before, as they are too high in fat.

    Post game eat a large amount of protein and a large amount of carbs. Replace your electrolytes with something like coconut water as it has a lot more than gatorade. (Magnesium for example)

    Personal examples, Ive found these fig bars from Costco that have 3g fiber and 3g protein, are small so they fit in my gym bag easy. I’ll eat them pre gane, and these wafer protein bars that actually taste good for post game. If I remember I’ll edit the post for them. Body Armor literally from costco, is the best sports drink I’ve found, minimal sugar, tastes fine and has the most electrolytes diversity.






  • Sometimes it matters where you live. Eating vegan in Portland Oregon is trivial compared to say… Boise ID. I’m not a great cook, but I’ve managed to learn the basics of cooking carbs, protein and fats. Once you learn how to make and eat satisfying meals, it gets easier. Also, failing on your diet happens. Sometimes that burrito is rice beans and cow cheese but the alternatives are unacceptable. It happens, especially if you aren’t cooking all your meals.
