We take nutrition and meal prep seriously. You really are what you eat, so we prioritize consuming as much high quality, whole foods as possible. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, but 99% of the time, our nutrition and meal prep is clean, lean, and balanced. The goal is to eat foods that will fuel our workouts and recovery while also setting us up for a long and healthy life that avoids and mitigates disease.
Below is a list of everything we order from Whole Foods every week and a point or two about why. Stay tuned as we’re working on a series of new meals we make with everything. Please give us a follow on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook!
