Everybody has their favorite foods and go-to meals that they eat consistently and love equally every time. For the majority, these are common and convenient food choices like pizza, burritos, burgers and beer. The thought of replacing these particular food choices seems impossible and daunting for most, but this is simply not true!  There are food choices in the world that are not only healthier, but just as convenient and delicious!

We provide a lot of information and resources on nutrition and understand that it can be overwhelming.  Many people end up saying, Just tell me what to eat!   While it is essential to educate yourself over time and there is no one perfect way to eat, this can be considered much like learning to snatch:  in the beginning it is not as important that you understand what is happening as much as that you are doing the movement properly.  Reading about what your coaches eat, using it as a jumping off point for your own nutrition and then feeling the results is a great place to start.  Over time you can dig deeper into some of the details and start to refine your approach.  In addition to just listing what we eat, we wanted to underscore the point that eating healthy is similar to all other diets in the fact that we also make decisions based upon taste, time, money and goals.
