HOW DOES NUTRITION AFFECT YOU? When embarking on a fitness journey, nutrition plays one of the largest roles. The first step towards determining your nutrition would be to figure out what is your “body type”. To your right hand side you’ll find a chart with the 3 main body types; Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph. Besides what your body type may be, other metabolism or hormonal issues may impact the way your body reacts to food. I highly recommend to always get a check-up with your doctor to make sure you are not suffering from any metabolic or hormonal issue that can stop your personal fitness goals. ECTOMORPH Lean, difficulty gaining muscle. Gains little fat mass. MESOMORPH WHAT ARE MACRONUTRIENTS? Muscular, well built. Fast metabolism gains muscle easily, loses fat easily. This word you hear all over just means one thing; its a category of “nutrients”. The three macronutrients all have their own specific roles and functions in the body and supply us with calories or energy. For this reason, the body requires these nutrients in relatively large amounts to grow, develop, repair and feel good! ENDOMORPH Bigger, high body fat, stores fat easily. Building muscle may not be hard. 1 DA R IH A N A N OVA .CO M W hat a r e m ac r os How to track macros to meet your goals. 1 2 3 CARBOHYDRATES Carbohydrates are comprised of small chains of sugar which the digestive body breaks down into glucose to use as the body’s primarily energy source. PROTEIN Protein is essential for repairing and regenerating body tissues and cells, a healthy functioning immune system and manufacturing hormones. FATS Fats are an essential part of a healthy diet. They improve brain development, overall cell functioning, protect the body’s organs and help you absorb vitamins. CARBS are essential to give you ENERGY. Once you digest carbohydrates your body will convert them into glycogen. Glycogen is what your muscles use as a form of energy to perform. So what happens when you don’t eat enough carbs? Less glycogen = less energy to exercise. Eat too many carbs? Excess glycogen = gets turned into stored fat. Carbs are essential and will yield great results when you eat them according to your body’s needs! It is important to have a high carb meal prior to exercise to give your muscles the energy needed to perform their BEST! PROTEIN is essential for muscle tissue growth and repair. Under “stress” (exercise) your muscles tear and thus you need to intake high protein meals after your workouts to help with new tissue growth and to repair the “damaged” muscles. I recommend eating a meal high in protein 15-30 minutes after a workout. FATS help with brain development and normal hormone function. For women, we need to keep a stable fat intake because our body fat composition determines our monthly cycle, fertility, skin issues and overall hormones. They are IMPORTANT, and you wont get “fat” if you eat them accordingly. WATER is highly important. You should consume HALF of your body weight (POUNDS) in ounces. So a person weighing 150 pounds should consume 75 oz of water daily. 2 DA R IH A N A N OVA .CO M C a l c u l at i n g m ac ro s How to track macros to meet your goals. 1 K n o w t h e p ro p er t ie s t h at t h e s e t h r e e m ac r o n u t r i e n t s h av e a s fa r a s c a l o r i e s : 1 gr a m o f ca r b s = 4 c a l o r i e s 1 gr a m o f p ro t e i n = 4 c a l o r i e s 1 gr a m o f fat = 9 c a l o r i e s 2 Tak e yo u r c u r r en t b o dy w e i gh t I N P O U N D S a n d m u lt i p ly i t by b e t w e e n 1 2 - 1 4 ( W H I C H E V E R A P P L I ES T O YO U R L I F E S T Y L E ) 12= NOT VERY ACTIVE.

TO GAIN…If you want to gain weight add 300 calories to your “maintenance” calorie amount. Eventually as weeks pass by (2-3 weeks) you can add 100 extra calories per week. I recommend this so that you don’t overwhelm yourself with food and so that you don’t gain a lot of fat while trying to gain muscle. EXAMPLE: If I wanted t gain… 2,100 + 300 = 2,400 would be my calorie intake daily. TO LOSE… If you want to lose weight drop your calorie intake by 300 calories for steady weight loss. For a more aggressive approach you’d drop it by 500 calories. You can also pick a number in between and decrease it by that amount. (I don’t recommend less than 1,600 calories per day!) EXAMPLE: If I wanted to lose… 2,100 - 300 = 1,800 would be my calorie intake daily. 5 DA R IH A N A N OVA .CO M C a l c u l at i n g m ac ro s How to track macros to meet your goals. 5 C a lc ul at e yo u r p ro t e i n i n ta k e I f yo u a r e h av in g a h a r d t i me yo u c a n a lways c l i c k he re a n d u s e t h e f r ee m ac r o c a l c u l at or o n o u r s it e. Women who are lifting weights should take on “average” 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. If you are a person who weighs over 180 pounds doing this may not work since consuming a lot of protein can lead to fat gain and it may be to much for your body to breakdown. So if this is your case you can opt for 0.75 to 0.85 grams of protein per pound of body weight. In my case I would consume 150 grams of protein since I weigh 150 pounds. So how many calories of protein would I consume? Remember 1 gram of protein equals 4 calories. So 150 grams x 4 calories is 600 calories. EXAMPLE: Your body weight in pounds x 1 gram (if you are under 180 lbs) = 6 DA R IH A N A N OVA .CO M C a l c u l at i n g m ac ro s How to track macros to meet your goals. 6 C a lc u l at e yo u r fat i n tak e I f yo u a r e h av in g a h a r d t i me yo u c a n a lways c l i c k he re a n d u s e t h e f r ee m ac r o c a l c u l at or o n o u r s it e. The recommended fat intake for women ranges between 25-35 % of their daily calorie intake. I recommend opting for 25% of your calorie intake to come from fats. Fats help regulate hormones and brain function so it is essential in your diet, and no consuming fat wont make you “fat” when consumed moderately. In my case I am supposed to consume 2,100 calories daily, so to figure out how many grams/calories of fats to eat I would multiply 2,100 by .25 (represents %.) and the amount this equals to is the amount of calories I should intake from fats. 2,100 calories x .25 = 525 calories So remember: Your daily calorie intake x .25 = Fat calorie intake Then you would move onto determine how many grams of fat to consume by dividing the calorie amount (525 for me) by 9, since 1 gram of fat = 9 calories. Example: 525 calories / 9 calories = 58.33 grams (round to nearest whole number) so 58 g of fat is what I would consume daily. Final Formula: Your cal intake x .25 = Fat calorie intake / 9 cals = fat intake in grams 7 DA R IH A N A N OVA .CO M C a l c u l at i n g m ac ro s How to track macros to meet your goals. 7 C a lc u l at e yo u r ca r b i n ta k e I f yo u a r e h av in g a h a r d t i me yo u c a n a lways c l i c k he re a n d u s e t h e f r ee m ac r o c a l c u l at or o n o u r s it e. Carbs are essential in your diet, they supply your body with energy and fuel your muscles to allow you to lift. Low carb diets will slow down your progress when gaining muscle is a priority, so consuming carbs moderately is the best option in my opinion. To determine your carb intake you will subtract from your original calorie intake goal the calories consumed from fats and protein, the amount of calories remaining is the amount of carbs you should intake. In my case that would be 2,100 goal cals - 600 cals (protein ) - 525 cals (fat) = 975 calories worth of carbs would be my carb intake & to determine the amount in grams I would divide 975 calories / 4 calories (since 1 gram of carbs = 4 cals). Leaving me with 975 / 4 = 244 grams of carbs when rounded. So remember: To calculate your carb intake you need to figure out the amount of fats and protein you are consuming first, the remainder is carbs. Final Formula: Entire calorie intake - (Fat cals) - (Protein cals) = Carb cals / 4 cals = Carbs in grams 8 DA R IH A N A N OVA .CO M F o o d s t o a i m f or How to track macros to meet your goals.

When you choose to add supplements into your diet you should choose branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s) which will support your immune system. Whenever you are weight training, lifting heavy or doing a high intensity workout your body is under a large amount of stress. Sometimes the body is unable to tolerate these stress levels which will result to illness and no muscle recovery. This essential amino acid cannot be produced by our bodies meaning we have to consume it directly. BCAAs are not only necessary as building blocks of protein for muscle growth and repair. They have multiple properties that enhance these growth processes well above and beyond normal amino acids. (Consume during your workout). I recommend powder form. L-GLUTAMINE L-Glutamine is the most common amino acid found in our muscles (60%). Studies have shown that L-Glutamine supplementation can minimise breakdown of muscle and improve protein metabolism. During an intense workout, Glutamine levels are weakened in your body which decreases strength and recovery. It could take up to 5-6 days for Glutamine levels to increase back to normal. Glutamine helps maintain hydration, healing process and cell volume. Studies have shown that Glutamine is linked to protein synthesis which prevents your muscles from being “eaten up”. It can also help the production of growth hormones and serves as a boost to your immune system. (Consume anytime of the day) . I recommend powder form. 11 DA R IH A N A N OVA .CO M S u p p l e m e n t s Recommended supplements K e e p i n m i n d, s u p pl e m e n t s D O N O T l o o k a m a zi n g on t h e i r o w n.

Although Many people enjoy whey protein, I recommend plant based ones. Studies have shown that whey protein is closely affiliated with acne and bloating, an issue many women frequently deal with. thus if you’re having a hard time meeting your protein intake daily I recommend a plant based (vegan) protein powder.

To track macros you will need a food scale, nothing too fancy just something you can measure grams/ounces. I have found a large variety of inexpensive ones in places like Amazon.com. You should also invest in measuring cups / spoons. Most of the nutritional info of items that are packaged are on the labels, so all you’d have to do is look at this information and measure your portions and track your macros. Eating an item with no nutrition label like fruits? SEARCH FOR IT ONLINE! Just a click away on your phone or computer you can easily google things like (granny smith apple nutrition info) and you’ll have the information at the palms of your hands. When choosing foods that you perhaps did not prepare your self, less is better! Less sauce, less oil, try baked instead of fried, opt for more vegetables and even ask for your food to be given in separate containers so you can weigh it at home or even at your dorm and measure out your portions. Once you already know the nutritional info of the foods you are eating you can use a variety of apps to log your intake. There is Lifesum which even allows you to scan item barcodes and enter just the portion and does the calculations for you, or Myfitnesspal. If your goals are fat loss remember you need to be on a calorie deficit, and as you shed weight your macros will need to be recalculated and adjusted. If your goals are weight gain you need to be on a calorie surplus, and as you gain weight your macros will have to be adjusted. Lastly I recommend that you begin to not necessarily weigh yourself daily, instead try to do so every 2 weeks or so. Instead focus in taking progress photos or how your clothing is fitting. Adjust your macros slowly and steadily to see healthy long term gains. 14 DA R IH A N A N OVA .CO M T r ac k in g p r o g r ess How to track your physical progress. HOW DO I TAKE PROGRESS PICS? 1 Wear minimal clothing. In order to track your body, you will need to capture your body as it comes and as it will change. Recommended clothing would be a sports bra and shorts. 2Take your progress pictures hands free. Keep your phone/camera in a stable place and set a timer on it or get someone to take the pics for you. Weigh yourself at the start and then do so every other week. 3Make sure the lighting is clear and bright. Do not pose, keep your body relaxed in your very first picture. After a couple of weeks, you can pose/flex to show off your results! 4Take pictures every 2 weeks in the same lighting, room, and time. Also weigh yourself every two weeks, NOT DAILY.
