A Focus on Nutrient-Dense Whole Foods
After losing 118 pounds and transforming my life, my approach to nutrition has evolved. Today, my diet is optimized for performance, strength, and endurance. I focus on consuming nutrient-dense, whole foods that provide sustained energy, support muscle recovery, and keep me feeling strong.
My Performance Nutrition Plan
-
Morning Routine: I start with my morning mix, which includes creatine HCL, greens + reds, collagen, colostrum, electrolytes, and methylene blue. Alongside this, I take my daily supplements: magnesium threonate, B12 methylcobalamin, zinc, D3+K2, and omega-3.
-
Breakfast: 8 oz. grass-fed ground beef (85/15), two eggs, a banana, a kiwi, blueberries, and an apple with a drizzle of honey and a generous pinch of pink salt for extra electrolytes.
-
Lunch: 8 oz. grass-fed ground beef (85/15), two eggs, a kiwi, blueberries, and an apple with a drizzle of honey and a generous pinch of pink salt.

Dinner: 12 oz. chicken breast, two eggs, a kiwi, a banana, blueberries, and an apple with a drizzle of honey and a generous pinch of pink salt.
-
Pre-Workout: 6 dates and a banana for fast-digesting carbs.
-
Endurance Fuel: Before my morning run, I have a scoop of endurance fuel with a banana.
-
Nighttime Routine: Before bed, I take magnesium citrate, L-tryptophan, and melatonin to ensure restful sleep and optimal recovery.
