You can train like a savage, but if your nutrition is trash, your results will be too.
At Extreme Fitness, we know that your body is a machine — and machines need the right fuel to dominate.
Here are the Top 10 Nutrition Rules we live by to keep performance high, recovery fast, and results undeniable.
1. Prioritize Protein — Always
Protein isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical.
You need it to repair muscle, recover faster, and build the kind of physique that turns heads.
Extreme Tip:
- Aim for at least 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight daily.
Chicken, beef, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, whey protein — make it happen.
2. Respect the Power of Carbs
Carbs are not the enemy.
Carbs are your fuel source — especially if you’re lifting heavy and moving fast.
Extreme Tip:
- Eat most of your carbs around your workouts (before and after) to fuel training and recovery.
- Go for quality carbs: rice, potatoes, oats, fruits — not garbage sugar bombs.
3. Master Your Fats
Fats support hormones, joint health, and brain function — but the right fats matter.
Extreme Tip:
- Focus on healthy fats: avocados, nuts, olive oil, fatty fish.
- Keep processed junk fats out of your body like it’s toxic waste.
4. Eat Real Food First
Supplements are just that — supplements.
If your diet is built on powders and bars, you’re doing it wrong.
Extreme Tip:
- Build 90% of your nutrition from whole foods: meats, fruits, veggies, whole grains.
- Supplements are the backup plan, not the foundation.
5. Hydrate Like It’s Your Job
Dehydration crushes performance faster than bad form.
Most people walk around half-dead from lack of water and wonder why they feel like garbage.
Extreme Tip:
- Drink at least half your bodyweight in ounces of water daily — and more when you’re training hard.
- Electrolytes matter too — don’t be scared of a little salt.
6. Time Your Meals for Performance
When you eat is almost as important as what you eat.
Extreme Tip:
- Pre-workout meal: Moderate carbs + lean protein (2-3 hours before training).
- Post-workout meal: Fast-acting carbs + fast-digesting protein (ASAP after lifting).
- Avoid heavy, greasy meals before training — or risk feeling like a brick during squats.
7. Plan Your Attack: Meal Prep
If you don’t prep, you’ll panic — and panic leads to fast food and regrets.
Extreme Tip:
- Spend a few hours once a week prepping meals.
- Always have 2-3 ready-to-eat, high-protein meals on deck.
8. Stay Consistent, Not Perfect
You’re human. You’ll slip. One bad meal doesn’t ruin you — but bad habits will.
Extreme Tip:
- Follow the 90/10 rule: 90% clean, 10% flexibility for sanity.
- One burger won’t wreck you. 10 in a row will.
9. Supplement Smarter, Not Harder
There’s no magic pill. But some basics help if the rest of your diet is tight.
Extreme Tip:
- Solid supplements: whey protein, creatine, multivitamin, omega-3s.
- Skip the hype products promising overnight abs.
10. Listen to Your Body, Not the Noise
Everybody online has an opinion. Not everybody is crushing goals.
Learn your body. Adjust based on real results, not trends.
Extreme Tip:
- Track what you eat and how you feel.
- Double down on what works. Cut what doesn’t.
Bottom Line:
At Extreme Fitness, we fuel to dominate — not to “diet.”
If you want to train like a beast and recover like a champion, it starts in the kitchen, not just the weight room.
Excel. Execute. Exceed.
On the field. On the platform. At the table.
