How to Eat for Cardio Integrated Strength Training: The Plate
"
We're not going to ask you to weigh chicken breast. But you do need to eat like someone who's training — and most people don't, which is why they feel awful by Week 3.
The Plate Method: ½ vegetables, ¼ protein, ¼ carbs, a thumb of fat.
Why protein is non-negotiable for Cardio Integrated Strength Training: covered in detail in Lesson 3.3.
Carbs: the panic everyone has, and why athletes doing Cardio Integrated Strength Training actually need them.
Hydration baseline: half your body weight in oz; full detail in Lesson 3.4.
What we DO NOT do here: shame food, sell supplements, push a single diet.
