AFTERMATH<\/a>\u2122 instead as I find this really aids my recovery when I’ve had a big workout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSummary.<\/h3>\n
As you can see from Alex\u2019s eating plan, breakfast is an important meal time where he consumes a lot of his daily calorie allowance – normally after an early training session. Alex likes to start the day strong. He tries to take advantage of insulin’s muscle-building effects post-workout, and minimise its fat-storing effects, by limiting carb intake for the remainder of the day.<\/p>\n
His diet is high in protein and carbohydrates, which he finds allows him to train energised, and also recover quickly afterwards. His fat intake is relatively low but is sourced from good quality foods and supplements including nuts, flaxseeds and fish oils.<\/p>\n
Alex lifts heavy but he also trains high volume too, so it’s important his nutrition and calorie intake supports this. He isn’t adverse to treats now and again either, but he works hard to justify the reward. Alex is a big believer in the power of BCAA. If you are going to add one supplement to your diet, give BCAA a go.<\/p>\n
