Sports nutritionist shares her day on a plate
At Zing Wellbeing we pride ourselves on providing an amazing team of experts and wellness coaches to give our members all the best advice we possibly can, just like our sports nutritionist, Mel Timmer who is just as passionate about health and supporting others as we are.
Nutrition is key for Mel and she is a big believer in fueling your body to get the most out of it.
Mel shares, "I love the benefits I can get from food, but the best thing is that when I eat properly I just feel so good.'
Sports nutritionist shares her day on a plate
I always prioritise protein over any macro nutrient so I make sure I hit 30g of protein in each meal, I make sure that each meal has a good balance of protein fats and carbs for a well balanced diet.
Zing Wellbeing meal plans give me loads of ideas but I know that with each meal I’m getting everything I look for in the healthy ingredients.
The days of having to tweak certain recipes to make it better suited to me are over because finally a brand that aligns with what I implement into every single day of my diet.
Breakfast
Majority of mornings will start with something like a breakfast egg slice or omelette, even some avocado on sourdough with eggs, loads of recipes in the Zing Wellbeing meal plans to choose from.
We have nearly 500 recipes now to suit all kinds of dietary requirements! Check them out here!
Lunch
Lunch is always simple meals like a wrap, I will prep some protein (like chicken breast) at the beginning of the week to make it easy to grab and go.
Dinner
Dinner I love myself some pasta or even Asian or Mexican inspired meals, the sticky ginger meatballs, the chicken Pattie’s, or spaghetti bolognese is a staple in my house, all budget and family friendly and again high in protein.
Snacks
My snacks are usually something like a piece of fruit or some yoghurt because I’m a super busy mum and love to just grab something that is already done.
Mel's 80/20 rule
I also believe in sourcing most of your diet from whole natural ingredients and allowing 20% of my day for more processed food like chocolate or some lollies.
I do have a 80/20 rule because life is about enjoying and sometimes a girl just needs chocolate.
I do enjoy my Zing Wellbeing recipes very much but knowing I can have some chocolate when I want it has stopped me from over consuming the not so nutritional valued foods to really just learning that good balance.
Mel LOVES the Zing Wellbeing Protein powder
I also love utilising the Zing Wellbeing protein powder and as I am allergic to dairy I love that it’s a pea based protein so I can add it in to my yoghurt or if I’m feeling like some oats I’ll throw it in there as well.
I love the flavour and the texture of the protein powder it is extremely hard to find a vegan based protein that tastes great. Thanks Zing Wellbeing for all the amazing recipes and expert advice.
