DDX Fitness fitness instructor Artem Opalnitsky stated that nutrition should be linked to the goals during the training process. If you need to stay in shape, no matter how active your workouts are, you won’t be able to achieve your goal if you don’t eat right. This requires a calorie deficit. Particular attention should be paid to protein, because… Its deficiency can lead to loss of muscle mass, since the body begins to destroy muscles primarily to obtain the missing amino acids. At the same time, you need to pay special attention to the amount of food consumed while gaining muscle mass. Here the situation is exactly the opposite; You should eat more than you spend. Otherwise, all your training will be in vain. The simplest source of additional energy is slow carbohydrates.

“You should definitely eat before training. It is better to consume high-calorie and fatty foods at least 3 hours before training. This will help avoid discomfort and heaviness in the abdominal area, because during training, blood in the body flows to the muscles and the digestion of food slows down. If you want to eat right before class, you can eat something that consists of simple carbohydrates: a banana or other fruit, protein, or a cereal bar. After classes, you should not immediately run to the locker room and eat pre-prepared food. There is currently no validated data on nutritional needs immediately after training. Most of the calories eaten will be used to compensate for expended energy and restore glycogen. Any protein drink or other nutritional supplements will also replenish our body’s reserves. You can have dinner with your family when you return home without any worries. After all, food is not only pleasure, but also an opportunity to communicate with family and friends,” added the fitness instructor.

The majority of survey participants (67%) are married or in a relationship. When asked what you usually eat with your family, 56% said they prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner according to their shared preferences. 2% said order delivery, the rest admitted that it all depends on the conditions and workload of all family members.

Still, most people prefer healthy food, or at least homemade food, because when asked what you eat alone, 76% say the same as your family. At the same time, 14% deliver orders and 9% prepare sandwiches or instant noodles.

Considering that today everyone talks about the benefits of protein for the body (including muscle building), during the survey it was impossible not to ask what is the most unusual meat dish that Russians have tried.
