Full Day of Eating - Bikini Competition Prep
"Official" contest prep has started for me and I couldn't be more excited to compete in the IFBB Pro League for the 2022 season. I also transitioned over to a meal plan so Coach Jason can dial things in a bit more and so there are less overall variables within the protocols and execution. We started prep April 1 and have a game plan and strategy in place to bring my best this season!
Something new that we are doing this year is incorporating a very strategic carb cycling, with each week being slightly different in terms of how my high, medium and low carb days are distributed. Food sources stay relatively similar, I may switch up the type of fish or carb source that I know digests well but for me, simple is best! As a competition and lifestyle coach myself, I don't want to have to think about my own plan so I can save my mental energy for my girls! Here's an example of a current high carb day!
*Just as a reminder - this meal plan is designed for me, my body, and my current goals. Everyone's body is different and will respond differently to macros, food sources, nutrient timing, etc!
