Hybrid Performance

We always see/hear negative things about protein, so here are some of them that are NOT true!
Shall I do one of these for carbs and fats too? Let me know!

Let the birthday celebrations begin!
I wonder what 27 will have store for me.

Another staple in my weekday dinners!
Ingredients for two people:
300g Turkey breast
1 onion
1 red pepper
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup
250g micro brown rice
2 eggs
2 spring onions
2 tbsp tomato puree
4 tbsp corn flour
80g sugar snap peas
Method:
In a bowl, coat the diced turkey in the corn flour, salt and pepper. On a medium heat, pan fry the turkey for 6 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, dice the onion, pepper, sugar snap peas and slice the spring onions.
Add the onion, pepper and sugar snaps to the turkey and cook for 5 minutes.
Make the sweet and sour sauce in a bowl by mixing together the tomato puree, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and 2tbsp of water. Once made, add to the same pan as before and cook for 2-3 minutes.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tsp of oil and add the brown rice, spring onion and 2 tbsp of water. Cook for 3 minutes or until hot. Once hot, push the rice to the sides of the plan and crack both eggs into the middle. Mix the eggs to break the yolks and leave to cook through.
Once the eggs are cooked, mix into the rice and you're all set to dish up!

With many things in the fitness industry, the answer to this is that it depends on your situation. But hear me out!
I would usually split this kind of thing into two sides: Whether you're training for a performance goal or a body composition goal.
When training for a performance goal I would NOT combine strength and conditioning work in the same session due to this removing some of the potency. In this situation you would separate the two areas so you can acheive maximum benefit from each of them individually.
When training for a body composition goal, I would combine areas of these two together. We are often not concerned with maximising performance in specific areas and can mix training types together to get a maximal fat loss result.
I hope this helps you plan your own sessions a little better!
