2/5 Essentials: The value of PROTEIN

2/5 Essentials: The value of PROTEIN

Now that we have discussed how important water is, let’s talk about another essential nutrient. 

Protein is one of the major building blocks of the body and is essential for the growth and repair of virtually every cell. It is a macronutrient meaning that our body requires protein in large amounts and because we do not store most of it, we need to eat it on a regular basis. This is especially important for fighters as it helps to feed and repair muscles.

Although the quantity of protein differs for each individual, the standard amount is about 15-18% of your total calories. It is important to note that this number will vary depending on age, gender, lifestyle, and what feels right for your body. 

To calculate your daily protein requirements accurately, multiply your weight in kg times the amount of protein in grams. For most non-athletes, 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram is suggested. Athletes require more protein, between 1.2 and 2.0 grams. 

Here is an example of how to calculate your protein requirements:

A 200 pound male fighter who trains regularly,

  • 200/2.2 = 90kg
  • 90kg x 1.2 = 108 grams of protein per day
  • 90kg x 2.0 = 180 grams of protein per day

This means that the athlete requires between 108-180 grams of protein per day depending on the amount of training he is doing.

So what do you eat? Lean animal protein such as chicken, turkey, lean ground beef, tuna, salmon, eggs, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt are great options. If your diet is more plant-based, then be sure to include quinoa, black and kidney beans, lentils, tofu, hummus, edamame, hemp and chia seeds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, rolled oats, and nuts.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to get protein after training is a good quality protein powder. It can be consumed quickly and has the perfect balance of macros to be used by the muscles immediately. I have mine ready in my gym bag and drink it on the way home from training.

Body Systems Barrie in support of Legacy is giving members 20% in store and a free protein shake for members who visit for the first time! Be sure to swing by and mention you are from Legacy so that the staff there, who are super helpful and are all educated in the health profession, can help you choose the right protein powder for you. 

Your next nutrition challenge… Calculate your protein requirements to ensure you are eating enough. Add a few of these easy, high protein meals to your day:

  • 1 scoop plant-based protein powder + 1 cup soy milk = 30 grams
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt + ⅓ cup blueberries = 20 grams
  • 1 slice rye, pumpernickel, wheat bread + ¼ cup tuna = 16 grams
  • ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese + 1 cup raw celery or carrots = 12 grams of protein
  • banana roll-up: 1 small whole wheat tortilla + 1 banana + 2 tbsp almond butter = 11 grams
  • overnight oats: ½ cup milk + ½ cup rolled oats + 2 tbsp hemp seeds = 11 grams
  • chia pudding: ½ cup plant milk + 2 tbsp chia seeds + fresh berries = 6 grams
  • 3 oz of baked salmon in a large green salad + ½ cup edamame = 30 grams
  • lentil curry = 23 grams
  • tofu and quinoa bowl = 18 grams

I am a lot of things. I am a woman, a school teacher, a registered nutritionist, a fitness enthusiast, a partner, a daughter, a writer, a friend, a chef... But most of all I am a fighter. Yes, I train at Legacy Fight Club, but what I mean by “a fighter” is not just in the literal sense of the word which is “to contend in battle or physical combat”, or, “to engage in boxing”. It is to constantly put forth effort and determination in everything I do. So when I say I have been a fighter all my life, it is true.  You can reach me at Michellestone2424@gmail.com for any questions or advice ot Nutrition and Lifestyle. My Services.

My crypto wallet was compromised when I lost my secret phrase.
Hackers got a hold of my crypto wallet after I lost the seed phrase to my crypto wallet which I had saved to my email.
I had to go through all possible options to get it figured out but I couldn’t, the support system of Coinbase couldn’t help even when I had secured my account with the special seed phrase for extra security, and that was how I lost access to $2m worth of crypto coins.
This was my life savings and investment from my business partners which I had secured in my crypto wallet. Fortunately, I happen to stumble upon a post about MorphoHack Cyber Service, a crypto wallet and funds recovery company. I contacted this team and told them about the whole situation, while I was a bit reluctant about trusting them with my information, it happened there was nothing I couldn’t do to get my funds back so I went with everything they asked, and to my greatest satisfaction, MorphoHack cyber-service was able to give me access to my crypto wallet including securing my crypto wallet from future attempts. I’m in shock and short of words but if you wish to get a hold of them, you can find their contact details below.

Be careful of people asking for your money or investment platforms promising huge returns. They lure victims into fake programs. I was scammed of 398,450 U S D. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on Bitcoin Abuse Forum about coinsrecovery organization. I contacted him via (COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE AT GMAIL DOT C OM)and he helped me recover my stolen funds. If you’ve also been a victim, don’t hesitate to get in touch with him. The United States Department of Justice estimates that only 15% of victims of financial fraud report the crime because they are embarrassed, feel guilty or think nothing can be done. There are millions of victims of financial fraud every year.
