What to eat

[breaker]

So my training and gymming will probably be picking up in the coming weeks to get me ready for various events taking place in Feb and March. Now in the past that meant absolutely nothing, but as reality and my body would suggest, I'm not that young spring chicken any more .

 

So I need to find a simple meal plan that can supplement my training as well as obviously help me eat healthier. I've been spoilt,(and still am I suppose) in that I can eat any and everything due to my high metabolism.

I'm after something where I can prepare meals in advance or at least doesn't take forever to prepare.

 

Also the story of supplements, I've never been a fan and have always steered clear, partially cause I never needed it and partially my lack of knowledge there of. Should I be looking into getting supplements and if so what? I suffer from hypertension and am on medication so I'm sure that influences that decision as well.

 

My GP recommended that I see a dietician, but before I even consider that,I'd like to think this is the interwebs after all .

So any suggestions, comments?

A dieitician will give you an eating plan based on the amount of daily calories you burn due to your activities.

To do your sport correctly, a sports nutrionist is the correct person to contact. Your diet will be different to what a dietician will give you.

It is about feeding your muscles the correct amount of protein, balanced by carbs and control the fat.
