One of my favourite resources on the web is the Monkey Bar Gym. The MBG is a functional training gym in Wisconsin.
I just found their 10 tips for eating well while training. Like their training, which is oriented towards “traditional bodyweight exercises” these tips use measurements like “Shape your hand with spread fingers. This is your serving size. This is an excellent way to not overeat!!!”
Some other excellent tips:
3. Eat fist size vegetables with palm size protein in 2-3 meals a day
…
8. Eat like a Bushman
Eat and drink as naturally as possible. Eating natural foods that are not man-made is the way to go. Processed foods are generally higher on the glycemic index, meaning they break down quicker, turn into sugars and get stored as fat.
I like these straight forward statements, they fit well with the types of simple algorithms that Michael Pollan came up with in In Defense of Food like “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants”.
