Nutrition: Mindset Matters

Most of us can make some improvements to our daily nutrition habits. Small changes are easier to incorporate but, over time, have meaningful impacts.

Focus on what you can add, not restrict:

• Strength training

• Sleep

• Hydration

• Stress management

• NEAT (non-exercise physical activity)

• More vegetables and other nutrient dense, fiber rich foods

• Snacks higher in protein
  

Don't fixate on numbers

Rather than focusing on reaching a particular number, focus on:

• Mindfulness in your daily choices

• How you feel (mood, energy level, hunger, appetite, satiety)

• Working towards making small changes each day so you don't get overwhelmed

Just as with training, consistency is the key when you are trying to improve nutrition-related habits. There's many more tips in my nutrition mini course, Fueling for Performance. If you haven't watched it yet, check it out!
