At vision we take great care and are very precise with our nutrition and lifestyle coaching. We pride ourselves on giving our clients a specific nutrition plan based on their goal and current body composition. By assessing your weight and body fat percentage we calculate your lean body mass - your bodyweight minus the fat mass - and from this calculation we establish the ideal macronutrients that will be the basis of creating a tailored nutrition plan for a leaner healthier you (please refer to chapter 4 of Ready Set Go by Andrew Simmons). In this series of articles we will be focusing on what is commonly the most misunderstood macronutrient; carbohydrates. Some of the most frequently asked questions regarding carbohydrates are; should I eat carbs? What carbs should I eat? Does it matter when I eat them? How much can I eat? I will endeavour over this series of articles to answer these questions as simply as possible so that you can implement this new knowledge when choosing what foods you eat.
