Meat - Stick to white meat. It is easier for your body to digest, processes faster through your body, and doesn’t sit around in your stomach making you sluggish. Examples of white meat are chicken, turkey, and fish. Funny how white meat happens to be lean animals that can fly or move quickly? Red meat is the stuff you try to avoid if you can – which is beef or pork. Maybe it’s because our cows and pigs are fed crap that it makes their meat less healthy for the body.

Proteins - Besides meat, eggs, tuna, peanut butter, and milk are an excellent source of pure protein. Remember, this is boxing and not weightlifting, so don’t try to be like a bodybuilder and eat one jar of peanut butter a day. It does nothing for you.

Frequent meals does not speed up metabolism at all as in six per day.

Metabolism only starts changing after 3 days with no food ie starvation. So 6 meals or little and often is bs. Myth started by supps companies hence the invention of protein shakes

 

55-58% of calories be CHO, 12-15% protein and 25-30% fat.

 

Nothing wrong with anything in moderation mate.

 

oatmeal or whole-wheat toast is best for before workouts

 

Note: gearproboxing should be ignored when it comes to nutrition advice.
