JulieAnn Kullas nutrition and training tips

What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?

My secret is eating clean ALL year. In the off-season I enjoy one cheat meal a week, but during the contest season, it’s game time! In the off-season I learned to not be afraid of carbs, this was very hard for me to accept. But, the end result was an increase in lean muscle. The goal is to regulate the amount of energy (calories) you take in. I eat every 2.5 hours because in order to keep my metabolism up – I must constantly fuel the body. If I need a last meal, I eat a lean protein source with a complex carbohydrate. I get my carbs from oats, cream of wheat, brown rice, and plain rice cakes. I taper out my carbs by the evening. My protein sources come from chicken, lean turkey, lean hamburger, cod, salmon, tuna, egg whites and whey protein.

Additionally, I love to add flavor to my recipes by adding spices. My meals that consist of a lean protein such as chicken breast and green vegetables – I often sauté sliced tomatoes, onions, garlic, cayenne pepper, Italian mixed seasoning blend in a couple tablespoons of 100% extra virgin cold pressed olive oil.

You may choose to add in additional vegetables. The rich spices coupled with the necessary saturated fat, makes a perfectly seasoned meal. I have found it much easier to stick to a meal plan that just tastes good. For more tips you can visit www.JulieAnnKulla.com .

I carry water with me everywhere I go and I try to drink a gallon a day. Often people feel hungry when they are actually dehydrated. So be very aware of your hydration throughout the day.
