The Twist on Warrior Eats

8/6/2017

0 Comments

 
Okay, so by now you may have noticed that the nutritional facts in each Warrior Eats recipe are slightly different from how you typically see nutrition information presented. This is not a typo or a mistake. I want to change the way you see your food and macros. To rewire your brain into really seeing food as an advantage, rather than just a pleasure or a tool that's utilized any time your hormones spike.

Generally nutrition facts have the normal: calories, total fat, total carbohydrates, dietary fiber, sugar, etc. Here at Warrior Eats, part of the fun of the food is learning what is in it!
  • Calories, are a measurement for energy. So instead of saying calories we say ENERGY.
  • When it comes to carbohydrates it can be a bit tricky. There are simple carbs, complex carbs, and fiber. Fiber is still considered a carbohydrate but it doesn't stick in the system to be used toward energy use later on. Fiber instead goes through the system to help pull waste and toxins along with it as it exits the body. So instead of saying dietary fiber we say WHAT DOESN'T COUNT, and instead of saying net carbs we say WHAT COUNTS.
  • Sugar is a simple carbohydrate, but at Warrior Eats we use only natural sugars from natural sources such as grade A organic maple syrup, berries, coconut palm sugar, and more. So instead of just sugar on the label you will always see NATURAL SUGARS.
  • In the bodybuilding world we always refer to our meat and eggs as gains, since the protein is what helps build and maintain muscle. So instead of protein, you will see GAINS. 
Next time you are taking a gander at your favorite box of cookies' nutritional facts, I hope you start to see how these components work either with or against your body.
