Lift Off Competitors! We’re just a few weeks away from the competition and your time to shine. Through the next few weeks you’re setting the stage for your most impressive display of power and strength – with your Tone House family behind you and cheering you on.

From a nutrition standpoint it’s important for you to take advantage of each opportunity to fuel your muscle and recover from training. String together as many great fueling days as you can to support health, performance, and recovery.

If you’re looking to drop to a lower weight classes before the event make sure to set your expectations appropriately. “Cutting weight” at this point, more than ~3-5# may negatively impact your ability to perform at your highest level during training and day of the event. The leaner and smaller you are this will become even more challenging, so goal set accordingly. I seriously recommend you contact myself or another Sports Dietitian before attempting any cutting strategy. 

At this time it will be beneficial to understand if you’re fueling appropriately. A very simple and quick estimate to double check your current performance fueling strategy is the “0.5-1-1.5 Guideline”. This is best for someone if they are already at their goal body composition. If you have significant body fat loss goals, your goal weight may be the better option. Use this guideline as a beginner strategy to double check that you’re approaching your energy needs. Personalized energy needs are the best strategy. This should not be a substitute for a conversation with your Sports Dietitian or other clinician. 

  • 0.5 grams of fat per pound
  • 1.0 grams of protein per pound
  • 1.5 grams of carb per pound

If your performance and recovery are where you want them to be – this may be unnecessary. If you want a bit more confidence in your nutrition, you can food track with any popular food tracking application for 3-5 days and then measure those macronutrients above against your typical food choices. This can put you in the range for performance nutrition. You’ll likely fall between 13.5-14.5 calories per pound. Again, this is just an estimate and you specific goals may require more specific guidance. Reach out to me or another Sports Dietitian for support. 

You may ask is there anything else that can help your performance and recovery without overwhelming your already busy schedule? Glad you asked. The nutrition department at Tone House has you covered.
