500 Calories ā 500 Calories
Calories matterābut calories arenāt the whole story.
As 10EX athletes, weāre working on the nutrition component of our health and wellness lifestyle (and yes, itās a lifestyleānot a diet). That means we need to look at the bigger picture.
Itās not just about how many calories are on your plate. Itās about what those calories are made of and whether youāre getting a good balance of nutrientsāprotein, healthy carbohydrates and healthy fats.
Need a few ideas?
š·PROTEINS: Lean beef, turkey, fish, chicken, pork, eggs, tofu
š·HEALTHY CARBS: Sweet potatoes, rice/oats (in moderation), vegetables, fruit
š·HEALTHY FATS: Avocado, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, grass-fed butter
Overwhelming? Absolutely! Nutrition can feel complicated when you start looking at all the pieces.
But it doesnāt have to be.
Letās keep it simple with a few āthis vs. thatā comparisons. Our graphic gives you approximate calorie and macro counts to show how different food choices can make up the sameāor similarācalorie total while providing a very different nutritional profile.
Want to learn more about cleaning up your nutrition? Talk to a coach. Weād love to sit down with you and help you figure out what approachāand what meal planāworks best for YOU.
