Confessions Of A Personal Trainer -Everything I Eat In A Day
Coaching what, how and when to eat is all in a day's work for fitness professionals. But how good are we at following our own advice?

If the fit pro instagram life was real, trainers would smash a 4-hour workout after a full day of coaching, and manage all this on a diet of salad and protein shakes.
Don’t be fooled.
If you’re exercising intensely and on your feet helping clients all day, a Caesar without the dressing isn’t going to keep your energy levels up.
Anyone in a physically demanding job needs calories.
Below is a typical day when I’m training clients (but still have time to eat), working out intensely for at least 45 minutes, and want my weight to stay the same.
Note – If I wanted to lose weight I’d drop calories by about 10% (bye bye shreddies), and increase by 10% if trying to gain muscle.
