@brandon.nicolasg: Staying consistent at the firehouse can be tough, I struggle with it every week too 😂. A few things have helped me stay on track most days, and the biggest one is prioritizing meal prep on my days off. It takes the stress out of figuring out what to eat and makes it a lot easier to stay disciplined. Another big thing is building my meals around foods I actually enjoy eating. That’s been a game changer for me. Don’t overcomplicate it, if your goal is to lose weight, you need to be in a deficit; if your goal is to gain, you need to be in a surplus. Obviously, that still has to be within reason, you can’t meal prep pizza and Oreos 😂😂😂 (I’ve thought about it). With call volume and station meals, you also have to learn how to adapt. Some days you won’t get every meal in, and some days you won’t eat as clean as you wanted to. It’s all good, as long as you’re sticking close to that 80/20 rule. The most important thing is figuring out your goal first, whether that’s losing or gaining, and then building your nutrition around it. Use a macro calculator online to figure out how much you should be eating, then track it with MyFitnessPal or another food app to help you stay on point. After doing it for a while, you’ll start to learn your portions by eye and be able to go with the flow. #firefighters #firedepartment #mealprepideas #howto #tipsandtricks
