A simple yet effective way to ensure you get the right split between protein, carbohydrate and fat is to use the 3-5-2 technique. This means 30% of your calories should come from protein sources, 50% from carbohydrate and finally 20% from fat.

Taking a day off from your training is a very important step to take. Most of us misunderstand the importance of rest days, we become slightly addicted to the feeling we get from training especially when we start seeing results. It is key to your progress that you allow your body time to recover.
