Allen Nutrition

Excited to keep growing and building! 🏆

Remembering and honoring the brave men and women who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day!

We don’t tell ourselves “I’m never going to start a diet”. It’s always “I’ll start on Monday” or “tomorrow”.

Today, not tomorrow, is the day you can begin to be great.

Start of prep to battling it out in the Open overall.
Best look we’ve brought to date. Can’t ask for much more than that! 1st place and a 4th place to go along with it. Not enough words to describe how awesome Chris is but I appreciate this dude more than he knows 🫶🏼
Take the feedback and come back even better again!!

First time competitor 🤝 First time coaching a female competitor
So incredible proud of this one!! Anyone who has been through prep knows the roller coaster it can be both mentally and physically. Taking home a 2nd place and 4th place finish in your debut is the cherry on top to everything you’ve already accomplished. I can’t wait to see the growth over this off season and what we can do next. For now, enjoy the comfort foods and then it’s back to work! 💪🏼💚

GAME DAY! Good luck to everyone competing at the Indiana Muscle today!

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the show. I’ll post updates on Team Allen Nutrition as the day goes. 💪🏼🏆

Thank you as always for the support 💚

Saturday night leg session in the books! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Off to another Reds game tomorrow ✌🏼⚾️

Challenging myself to hit 10k steps each day this week. Will post for accountability.

Non-exercise activity can play a crucial role in your weight loss journey and improve overall health in general. With warmer weather starting to come around, make a priority to get moving!!

For anyone looking to compete this summer, here are a couple shows around the area!

If you are interested in getting in shape or wanting to compete, shoot me a message 🏆

Over 40% of what we do on a daily basis is habit-based. Are your habits helping or sabotaging you? Have a great Monday (featuring my new stumpy bicep thanks to a bicep tear at the elbow 🙃)

In recent months, I have slowed down on coaching while I took care of myself and some other things. During that time away, the fire and passion I have for helping others kept growing and I am ready to embrace it!
If you or anyone you know might be interested in meal plans, training programs, macro guidance, or any combination of things, please reach out!
This includes every day people just wanting to get healthier, bodybuilding, or other athletics. I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients and will continue to accept anyone willing to put in the time and effort! Let me know how I can help ❤️‍🔥💪🏼

Headed to Dayton, Ohio for the Julie Palmer Showdown this weekend! We went back to the drawing board the past 2 weeks and I think we are bringing an all time best look tomorrow! 🏆🔥

3 weeks out 2022 vs 3 weeks out 2023.

Ready to watch Chris finish prep strong and hit the stage at this year’s 2023 Indiana Muscle!
May 20th at Old National Events Plaza in Evansville, Indiana!

Happy 2023!
🎉💪🏼❤️

Friendly reminder, thank you! 💪🏼❤️

LEFT -> 180 lbs around November 2021. This was our starting point for the Indiana Muscle prep.

Right -> 180 lbs October 2022. Our current spot a couple weeks into a bulking phase!

Chris was in prep for the beginning of 2022 and claimed 1st in his class at the Indiana Muscle. After taking a health phase for the summer, we are picking back up and preparing for the 2023 season. The composition difference is a perfect example of taking time and getting yourself in a position to grow! I can't wait to see what these next couple of months will look like with proper training and nutrition!

I came across a study this morning that lit a fire inside me, so I wanted to write out my thoughts.

Nutrition education barely exists in America. It is briefly, and often poorly, taught during middle/high school and that is about it. Med schools only require about 25 hours of nutrition education for a doctor and who knows how much of that is retained or cared about amongst everything else they learn?

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans should be an unbiased source of helpful information for anyone seeking to be healthier. The Food and Pharma Industry continues to take advantage of the lack of nutrition knowledge and the average American person.

We are the most stressed out, obese, and in debt cohort and it will only continue to get worse. They want to keep people obese and having multiple chronic diseases so they can continue to write prescriptions and do expensive tests and hospital stays.

Please take your health seriously. We only get one body, treat it nicely.
Prevention > Treatment

Happy Hump Day! 🐪
Here is some food for thought 🤔

Things you can control: 👍🏼
- How you respond
- Your attitude
- Your thoughts
- Your actions
- Who you surround yourself with

Things you can’t control: 🙅🏼‍♂️
- What other people do
- What other people think
- Adversity

Control what you can control. Easier said than done, I know but take some time and think about that. We get caught up in so many things that we let outside distractions dictate or ruin some of the things we have control over. Focus on what you can do and take pride in your effort! 💪🏼

HAPPY FRIDAY ☀️🍏

What’s everyone’s plans for the weekend??

I’ll be headed back to my hometown to celebrate a good friend getting married and visiting with my family! ❤️
