A healthy diet throughout life promotes healthy pregnancy outcomes, supports normal growth, development, and aging, helps to maintain healthy body weight, and reduces the risk of chronic disease leading to overall health and well-being.

Here are some facts and tips for your everyday meals.

PROTEIN

Effects Protein can have on the body 👇👇

✅ Repairs your muscles after a workout
✅ Builds lean muscle mass
✅ BURNS the most amount of calories during digestion
✅ Keeps you satiated, FULL, for longer than any other macronutrients
✅ Prevents muscle loss when in a deficit
and Maintains bone mass as we age

Here at MPT we recommended at least up to 30grams of protein with every meal to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.

Here are some of the protein sources everyone can enjoy, meat-eater or not

COMPARE THE SAUSAGE

Aussies love a good sausage.

Remember, when looking at nutritional values, to check the information per 100g. Companies put ‘per serving’ to make it seem better than it actually is.

Here are 4 different types you might find in your local Woolworths or Coles. My go-to’s, are the chicken sausage and the lean beef sausage.

POTATO VS POTATO

When you say you eat POTATO, do you say, how you ate it?

Knowing the difference can make a difference to you getting, or not getting results.

MEALS ON THE GO

To stay on track for achieving your goals, not every meal you eat has to be prepared at home. Life gets in the way all the time, especially when we are busy, running from place to place and trying to organize everything else we have going on within our lives.

There are healthier options basically everywhere you go if you find yourself caught out of the house for too long and start to get hungry.

Also, don't forget about all the extra calories hidden in liquids. Opting for a diet soft drink or Coke Zero instead of a normal sugar-filled drink or juice could save you from consuming over 200 calories in something that will not fill you up in any way or give you any nutritional value and the sugar-free options will crush the sweet cravings all the same!
