Hunger and Fullness Scale:

Eating with attunement is about staying connected to your body and honoring when it is hungry and full. This can be challenging for most of us because we tend to be on autopilot when eating and have conditioned ourselves with these habits over the course of our lives.

Fuel Your Movement: 

Tips to optimize your physical performance and recovery: 

1. Avoid eating below your BMR (basal metabolic rate). Extreme caloric restriction can cause fatigue, poor recovery and a greater chance of losing muscle mass. 
2. Maintain proper hydration by maintaining pale yellow urine. 
3. Prioritize eating after your workout (within 60 to 90 minutes). This allows for optimal recovery from your training. Your body is primed to soak up the nutrients to repair muscle breakdown that has occurred. 
4. Protein and carbohydrates are essential macronutrients for your post-training meal or snack (e.g., eggs and toast) 
5. Plan ahead by packing snacks and/or meals if you intend to have a busy and active day of adventure.
