QLM Nutrition Guide
STEP 1 - Aim to drink 6-8 Glasses of Water each Day. HAVE A GLASS FIRST THING WHEN YOU GET UP,
AND ONE WITH EVERY MEAL
STEP 2 - WHEN MAKING SNACK AND MEAL CHOICES, CHOOSE FOODS FROM THE “GOOD” LIST
BELOW, AVOID FOODS FROM THE “BAD”
STEP 3 - AIM TO HAVE 3 MEALS WITH 3 SMALL SNACKS EVERY DAY (EATING SIX TIMES EACH DAY)
STEP 4 - EACH MEAL SHOULD HAVE 1) A GOOD SOURCE OF PROTEIN, 2) A GOOD SOURCE OF FAT,
3) A CLEAN CARB, AND 4) LOTS OF VEGETABLES - SEE QLM SAMPLE MEAL PLATE >
STEP 5 - DESIGNATE YOURSELF A CHEAT MEAL (EX. SUNDAY EVENINGS) WHERE YOU CAN EAT WHATEVER YOU
WANT! WE’RE ALL HUMAN. IT’s OK TO SLIP UP ONCE A WEEK, BUT LIMIT YOUR CHEATING TO THAT ONE MEAL!
GOLDEN RULE - CONSUME 20 GRAMS OF PROTEIN, WITHIN 20 MINUTES AFTER A WORKOUT/PRACTICE/GAME/OR SCRIMMAGE
