On Today's episode i go over 5 tips for yourself when eating out at a restaurant. Hope you take some value away from it. 

  1. Choose the meal you are going to have before arriving at the restaurant. Track it on myfitnesspal then plan the rest of your daily macronutrients targets around that specific meal .

  2. Save X’s amount of calories for the end of the day and just call it even, I would suggest to guess slightly over what you think it may be .

  3. You could maybe skip normal snacks that you would have in the day and save the calories for a larger meal at dinner or lunch , this isn’t one of the best ones to do as it’s just a guessing game but if you aren’t aware of cals/macros it’s an suggestion .

  4. Choose a whole, nutritious, healthy option on the menu containing at least 1-2 serves vegetables and a lean protein source .

  5. Enjoy it!

On Today's show i go over 10 tips to help you this lockdown period.

  1. Make yourself a routine (Its important to keep yourself motivated and driven so stick to something you always do same time everyday)
  2. Try out a new recipe or do baking for the first time. This is my favourite one, I have started to cook and bake a lot more.
  3. Stay connected call a friend, family member ,work colleague and trainer. Have a laugh, send some love.
  4. Follow a new podcast, I know a good one to follow you I have just started my own. Link:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/marcus-cope-fitness/id1523069605
  5. Journal, Set some goals for yourself.
  6. Write down 3 things that your are grateful. This a big one I like.
  7. Try a new exercise, even if its something different at the end of your session.
  8. Stretch session keep yourself time to do 15-20mins of a little stretch circuit to give your body some recovery.
  9. Go for a walk, bonus is you will get your NEAT UP.
  10. Glass of water with every meal.
