We’ve all heard this before, “80% of any fitness goal is eating right”. But, is this really true? To answer this question one must consider the level of fitness they stand in, their fitness goals, and their current eating habits. Take, for example somebody who is obese with poor eating habits and little exercise experience. Considering they’ve never known a thing about proper nutrition, then yes, 80% of their fitness goal will very well be eating right. On the other hand, for a professional athlete who’s body is already conditioned and who’s eating habits are well, 80% of their fitness goal will be performance related. Proper nutrition comes naturally to them, and their eating habits are well established already. What is most important for individuals like this are their training methods. Are they training at the intensities they need? Are they pushing their bodies to new limits? Are they getting proper rest periods? The lean muscle mass these individuals already have in their bodies work to burn calories and fat even when at rest also. No matter what your fitness level though, proper nutrition is always key. It should never be treated less than equally as important as your training because they work hand in hand. Without the right nutrition you can not train properly. Poor diet in a workout routine can drastically affect your energy levels, leave you dizzy, or diminish your gains. Don’t spin your tires out by putting all the empty calories back into your body that you just worked off during that intense workout. Make sure you’re eating at least an hour before your workout so that your stomach has enough time to digest the food and so that you have that energy available.
