5 Meal Prep Hacks

by ggcom_admin

You can spend all day in the gym, but if you’re not eating correctly, you probably won’t see positive results. “Everyone’s goals are different, but the one constant I would say is that nutrition and diet play 75 to 80 percent of seeing the visible results,” says Adam Friedman, a Gold’s Gym Fitness Institute expert and nutrition coach certified by the International Board of Nutrition and Fitness Coaching. “People need to be consistent. Most of the people that I work with are missing consistency in what they are doing, and a plan of what they do every day.”

Friedman shared five hacks you can use to help improve your diet. Happy eating.

Snack SmartSnacking is fine as long as you’re noshing on the right foods. Healthy snacks will keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day. Friedman suggests nuts and seeds; fruits, in moderation; or raw vegetables like cucumbers, celery, carrots, and even zucchini, which isn’t too harsh on your stomach when eaten fresh. You can add a bit of hummus for more flavor. Instead of preparing new snacks every day, cut up a bunch of veggies, store them in a container, and grab a new portion each morning.
