Episode notes
Periodize Nutrition Like Training
- Nutritional periodization applies training-style planning to eating by matching intake, food quality, and timing to specific goals.
- Aligning calories, types of food, and meal timing to phases potentiates performance and body composition.
Use The Three T's Framework
- Manage the three T's: total intake, types of food, and timing to match your current phase.
- Use calories/macros, nutrient density, and meal timing to optimize energy, training, and recovery.
Plan Clear Goal-Specific Phases
- Structure your plan into clear goal-specific phases with defined length and targets.
- Execute each phase with intention so it sets up the next phase instead of guessing week-to-week.
