My Secret Nutrition & Supplement plan.
Written by Krystal Gray, Friday July 09 2010
Generally I write about the life lessons I'm learning from playing in this league and about recent character growth. Recently I have had a lot of people asking me about my training program and about my eating habits so I decide it would be nice to share these things with my family, friends and fans. This post I will share my nutrition & supplement plan!
Something I'm learning about becoming a refined professional athlete is that any advantage we can have over our competition seriously helps. Last season I had no idea how to eat or train like a professional athlete. I was seriously way over training myself and not eating enough to sustain my muscles or my performance. At the end of last season I weighed 109 and I was 9 percent body fat. The lack of proper nutrition had my body fat way to low for a female allowing my hormones and emotions to be all over the place which lead to having not a very consistent performance season.
This season I am truly blessed. Not only does our team have an amazing trainer Shannon Wallace who monitors our training to ensure we are not over or under training but I have also been blessed to work with a major supplement company Max Muscle.
Max muscle owner Kristin Wood is a Sports Nutritionist who ensures I am on a Customized diet for my training and body type and her VA store provides me with the natural supplements I need to sustain and continue my muscle growth.
I had my first weigh in prior to being on the nutrition and supplement plan may 26th. After being advised by the League & after talking to my trainer it was decided that I need to gain at least 10-15 pounds of lean muscle weight before the start of our season in order for my body to sustain the physical demands and hits that my body will experience this season.
I started at 110 pounds. My total body fat was 15 percent. I had 93 pounds of lean weight and 17 pounds of fat weight. My reserve fat was 5 percent. I had my weigh in yesterday July 8th.
My current weight is 117 my total body fat is 13.9 percent my lean weight is 101 pounds and my fat weight is 16 pounds. I now have 4 pounds of reserve fat. I gained 8 pounds of muscle in close to 6 weeks.
I feel healthier, I have more energy and I'm noticing I am able to focus longer and more clearly at practice. I won't tell you my current nutrition or supplement plan but I will tell you the plan I just came off of.
My advice for all the athletes in the LFL this season. Hire a sports nutritionist to know exactly what foods to fuel your body, take the supplements you need to provide your body with what you can't physically get from food & hope your nutritionist and trainer are awesome enough to work together in order to provide you with the resources for your optimal performance this year.
We can prove we are professionals if we all keep rising the bar for each-other. We can accomplish anything with discipline and work ethic.
