1.    To enhance sports performance be sure to follow the nutritional guidelines outlined for you below.
2.    The resistance trained athlete requires:

  • 15-20% Protein
  • 50-60% Carbohydrate
  • 25-35% Fat

3.    In order to calculate the daily percentages of protein, carbohydrates and fats first calculate your daily caloric requirement:

  • RMR X 10
  • Exercise level: for a resistance trained athlete it is 450
  • Determine your activity level
  • Add these three steps to determine your calorie requirement

4.    To determine your protein need:

  • Multiply your total calories by (20%)
  • Divide by 4 to determine grams of protein

5.    To determine your carbohydrate need:

  • Multiply your total calories by (60%)
  • Divide by 4 to determine your grams of carbohydrate

6.    To determine your fat need:

  • Multiply your total calories by (25-35%)
  • Divide by 9 to determine your grams of fat needed
