Misconception On Hitting Your Numbers

3 quick reasons for you today to explain why there is SO much more to nutrition than calorie and macro targets for the day.

1 - A healthy body evolves quicker 

There is a lot to be said for keeping your body healthy in order to optimize your ability to transform your body composition AND get better performance in the gym. If you are taking care of your health then things like excessive inflammation won't become an obstacle, under par lung function, excessive toxicity levels and other factors which all contribute towards your state of health. I frequently recommend my online clients to have health checks to ensure they are healthy (health markers checked) because if they are not, then their goals are going to an uphill struggle.

In relation to nutrition, the quality of your food will effect these things!

2 - Gut health is CRUCIAL 

Your food has to support healthy gut function otherwise you will ALWAYS struggle to maximize your results, you just will! The gut is the gateway to your body, its where all the nutrients should be broken down and assimilated correctly. 

Undoubtedly from experience, single ingredient foods win over processed foods. 

3 - Hormonal response 

Two food groups with the same macro-nutrient and calorie profiles can give different responses. This does NOT mean I am against foods which are many class as "dirty" but there are better times to use certain foods over others for multiple reasons. 

Again, understanding this and knowing how to manipulate foods means that you are equipped to get ahead quicker. Even with the same numbers met, the outcome can be very different on many fronts depending on the source of food including how energized you are to train, rate of absorption, how lethargic you are and satiety levels.
