Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to another episode of the podcast. Today's episode is all about my diet and training approach and or philosophies in 2026. So what I am focusing on this year. And what I'm going to talk about is based off of my personal approach, but also guided by questions that were submitted on Instagram.
So earlier this week, as I was planning this episode and in this discussion, I posed the question on one of my Instagram stories asking, what do you struggle with the most when it comes to diet, nutrition, and food as it is related to your fitness goals? And there were a lot of questions or answers submitted.
Chapter 3: What are effective meal prep tips for busy individuals?
And I'm going to use those submissions to guide some of the things I'm talking about. Now, before we dive into those approaches, those philosophies, I want to share how you can take ownership of your diet in this next year. And I have these four ways you can take ownership of your diet in this next year.
And I've come up with these four things because these were the most commonly submitted answers and or questions based off of that Instagram story prompt. I find that a lot of people struggle with meal prep, meal consistency, A lot of people struggle with meal portions, eating too much, eating too little, under consuming, over consuming.
I have found and heard that a lot of people struggle with snacking and not eating enough protein. And the last thing that I heard quite frequently is that late night snacking and consuming and binging even is a problem.
Chapter 4: How can you control your meal portions effectively?
So here's four things you can do. Write these down in this next year to take ownership of your diet. The concepts are few. The methods are many. Here are four methods in which you can take complete ownership of your diet, of yourself, of your life in 2026.
Chapter 5: Why is protein a critical component of your diet?
Number one, meal prep or food prep weekly. Now, this sounds like common knowledge, and we're going to get into deeper detail in these throughout this episode. But yeah, if you meal prep and food prep weekly,
Chapter 6: What strategies can help manage late-night snacking?
it will make your life easier. You will have convenient options. You will have accessibility to food. But what I hear from a lot of people is, I don't have time to meal prep. I don't have time to food prep. My response is, if it matters to you, you will make time. You will find time.
Chapter 7: What does a caloric surplus mean for your fitness goals?
If it truly matters to you. I consider myself a very active individual.
Chapter 8: How can you balance strength training and recovery?
I have a full schedule. I am busy. I'm running a business, leading a team. I have two young kids. My daughter is three and a half. My son is one and a half. I'm married, happily married. Our schedule every single day from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep is very full. But I still find time to meal prep. And
I think a lot of people believe that what meal prep looks like is being in your kitchen Sunday afternoon for four hours and you're making all this chicken and ground beef and rice and potatoes and vegetables. And you're putting them all this bulk food into individual Tupperware containers.
So you have breakfast, lunch, dinner, breakfast, lunch, dinner, breakfast, lunch, dinner prepared for Monday through Friday. That is a way to meal prep. That's not the way that I meal prep. So if your response is, I don't have time to do that. Well, neither do I. So my approach to meal prep into food prep is to just find five to 10 minutes here and there throughout the week.
It doesn't have to be all in one day to prepare foods and meals. So here's like the rhythm in which I take the approach. Sometimes in the morning, after getting back from my morning run and the kids aren't awake yet, I'll fire up the Traeger and I'll throw some chicken breast on the Traeger.
And then maybe at night, once the kids go down before I hop in the sauna, before going to sleep, I'll throw some rice on the rice cooker and I'll heat that up. And right before I go to bed, I'll take it off the rice cooker when it's done and I'll throw it in the fridge. And then maybe when we're wrapping up dinner at night and we're cleaning up,
I'll throw a few packs of ground beef in a pan over the stove and cook up the ground beef as we're cleaning up. And I'll throw the ground beef on there. I'll season it. I'll go start cleaning dishes, throw them in the dishwasher, go back, mix it up, stir it up, clean off the table, go back, mix up the meat, stir it up, clean up the kids, multitasking.
So I find these moments throughout the day, throughout the week to prepare foods here and there. It's not this bulk amount of time all at once to prep. And I make food prep and meal prep part of my daily and weekly rhythms. But I think that's, One of the best ways you can set yourself up for success and take ownership of your diet in this next year is to meal and food prep.
Have healthy, reliable, accessible options available all the time based off of these rhythms you're building out and incorporating throughout your day and your week. The second thing you can do is to have appropriate meal portions. So I have two tips here. One, weigh your food. I don't track my food daily. I'm tracking intuitively.
So I have a rough estimate and guess of how much and what I'm consuming on a daily basis. And this is really based off of me just eating the same thing pretty much day in and day out with slight variations. But I still weigh my food. I weigh my food for breakfast. I weigh my food when I'm preparing my lunches before going into the office. I weigh out the ingredients in my overnight oats.
