Chocolate protein, cold coffee, milk, and a bit of cocoa powder Kind of like a mocha shake and perfect before training

When I added too much HIIT my leg days suffered Now I stick to incline walking

Whey protein just helped me hit my daily protein Not magic but very useful

I use more supplements when training hard but basics stay the same

Quality matters long-term but beginners usually need more food not cleaner food

Chicken thighs instead of chicken breast Big cost difference and way more flavor I roast a tray with potatoes and carrots easy meal prep for the week

Some do 3 big meals others do 6 smaller ones Did meal frequency make a difference for your energy, digestion or gains

Music helps me the most If I’ve got the right songs playing I usually find the energy to get it done

It works best if your training is intense and consistent If your sessions are light carb cycling won’t make a noticeable difference

I used to do 3 shakes a day too but switched to more chicken and eggs I noticed better energy and less bloating
