At MTN STRNG, we keep nutrition simple—but powerful. Our goal is to help you build a sustainable approach to eating that fuels your performance, supports your physique goals, and improves your long-term health. These six foundational principles guide how we coach nutrition, whether your goal is to get stronger, leaner, or just feel better in your body.
1. Prioritize Protein
Protein is the cornerstone of everything we teach. It supports muscle growth and repair, helps regulate appetite, and keeps you feeling full. Whether you’re trying to build strength, drop fat, or maintain your current weight, hitting your protein target consistently makes everything else easier. Start each day by asking: Where’s the protein?
2. Calories Count—But We Don’t Count Calories
Energy balance matters. You can’t ignore calories if you have a goal related to body composition. But instead of micromanaging numbers, we focus on building awareness—around portion sizes, hunger cues, and consistent eating habits. The goal is to develop a system you can feel, not one you have to track.
3. Match Your Calories to Your Goal
If you want to gain, you need to eat in a surplus. To lose fat, a deficit. And to maintain, you need to eat at maintenance. We help you align your daily intake with your current goal in a way that supports your training and lifestyle—no calculators, just simple, intentional choices.
4. Carbs and Fats Fill In the Rest
Once protein is covered, carbs and fats fill in your remaining energy needs. The exact ratio depends on your goal, preferences, and training demands. There’s no single perfect split—just enough energy to keep you fueled, performing, and progressing.
5. Let Training Guide Carb Intake
Carbohydrates are your primary fuel source for training. We use your activity level to determine how much and when to eat carbs. On intense training days, you’ll likely need more. On rest days, less. Match your fuel to your output so you can recover and perform your best.
6. Prioritize Whole Foods
Whole, nutrient-dense foods are the foundation. They support energy, digestion, recovery, and long-term health. That doesn’t mean perfection—just consistency. Choose foods with minimal processing that you can recognize, and leave room for flexibility when needed.
Keep It Simple. Stay Consistent. Perform Better.
Nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated to work. These six principles cut through the noise so you can focus on what matters: fueling your goals, enjoying your food, and building habits that last.
