How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Coffee
Rachel enjoys the perks of caffeine. She loves a medium long black, one shot, dash of oat milk, and 2 sweeteners in the morning. The Cleveland Clinic supports the benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
2. Meal Planning and Macro Counting
Rachel understands the importance of planning meals and counting macros. "I use MWU Meal Guides and recipes as a base for planning my meals, and then apply little tweaks to suit my preferences - such as swapping ingredients or changing their amounts a little bit. Remember, so long as you are consistent with your targets overall - you can be flexible with your meals!” she explained to Move with Us. She consume 1955 calories, 245 grams of carbs, 120 grams protein, and 55 grams of fat per day.
3. Staying Hydrated
Rachel understands the importance of hydration. She starts every day by chugging 700m-1L of water. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
4. Running
Rachel also loves running. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
5. What She Eats in a Day
Here is everything she eats in a day. “For breakfast I love to put together Emma’s Turkey & Avocado Bagel recipe from the MWU App, plus 2x quick oat sachets with scoop of protein & raspberries,” she says, explaining that “big meals” fill her up and keep her satisfied, “as opposed to constantly snacking throughout the day. My breakfast meal also acts as a pre-workout for me, so I like it to be hearty.” Post workout she drinks a green juice and eats 2 packets of cobs natural popcorn straight after training. “For lunch, I love to make an Avocado & Prawn Bowl,” she says. For an afternoon snack she has 2 rice cakes topped with turkey breast and Black Swan Skinny Tzatziki. “For dinner, one of my go-to's is the delicious Honey Chicken Stir Fry,” she says. “As you can see from my day of delicious eating, nothing is off limits for me.” Overall she believes in an “80% whole foods and 20% soul foods approach, because food is more than just fuel. It’s there to nourish AND support us… and it’s also delicious,” she says.
