GAME-CHANGER: Stop planning meals around carbs
Most athletes think: "What pasta/rice/bread do I want?" then add protein as an afterthought.
Flip the script.
Nutritionist Jules Strauss taught me "protein-first meal planning" and it's brilliant:
Instead of: "I'll have pasta... maybe add some chicken"�Think: "I'll have chicken... what goes with it?"
Why this works:�
✅ Automatically hits your protein targets�
✅ Makes meal prep stupidly simple�
✅ No more guessing if you've had enough
My routine now:�
• Breakfast: Peanut butter, greek yoghurt & nuts first then add the carbs
• Lunch: Chicken/fish first, then build the salad�
• Dinner: Protein source first, then sides
Result? I hit >140g protein daily without thinking about it.
Try it for one week: Plan every meal starting with the protein source.

Opera singers, cowboy hats and the Blues Brothers - it’s all part of the Lakeland 50/100 experience! You might hope that with over 60 years of coaching experience between us we'd have learned a few things by now.

Cooking, 130k running weeks, heat chambers and much more * The life of pro-triathlete Tom Bishop When I started taking part in triathlons in 1987 there were perhaps two or three full time professionals triathletes in the UK. There were a lot more in the US. There wasn’t an Olympic programme or any funding for talented athletes. Just sponsorship (generally free kit) and some prize money if you...
