Eating Strategy #1: Triple Double

Fun fact: In basketball, a triple-double is at least 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists (or 10 blocks, 10 steals, etc).

If you’re already used to eating 3 meals per day, then I recommend starting here as it’ll be the simplest to follow and track calories for since you’re already doing it.

Who would benefit:

  • People with consistent schedules
  • People who like eating equal amounts throughout the day
  • People who enjoy routine

Keep in mind, even if you’re not used to eating 3 meals per day already, you can still try it and see if it works for you. If you don’t enjoy it or can’t stick with it, you can move on and try the next eating strategy. It’s always gonna fall back to doing what’s easiest for you and helps you stay in a consistent calorie deficit  

How To Use The Triple Double Meals Strategy: 

Look at your schedule and pick three times throughout the day that’s most realistic for you to eat 3 meals.

For most of our clients, it’s breakfast before work, lunch during work, and dinner when you get home from work.

You can also include 1-2 snacks if you’d like, but try to limit it to 1-2.

The more snacks you have, the smaller your meals will have to be as you’re dividing up your calorie between all of these meals and snacks. That’s something you’ll wanna probably want to avoid when you’re eating in a calorie deficit.
