💡 Pro Tips This Week
Prep proteins in bulk on Sunday. Grill all your chicken and cook ground turkey for the week. Saves 30+ min daily.
Don't skip the post-training meal. Get 40-50g protein within 60 min of finishing. This isn't optional.
Season your food. Bland chicken is why people quit. Use cumin, paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, hot sauce — zero carbs, zero calories.
Hydration matters. On low carb, you flush more water. Aim for 1 gallon/day minimum. Add electrolytes if you're training hard.
Drop a message in the Athletes Lounge when you finish your first day. Let's hold each other accountable. 💪
