No time to cook and don’t want to spend gazillion dollars on grain bowls? Why not look at supermarket frozen meals! They are portion controlled, affordable and some of them hits your macronutrients without too much modification I get it; you don’t know which makes sense and so, I’m going to hunt them out for you. We’re going to start with Meadow’s Green Curry Chicken Rice. 423 calories, 15.5g protein Enough space for you to add 2 eggs, a chicken breast or a block of tofu to hit 25-30g protein while keeping below 550 calories Taste is on the spicier side which I like, so if you are a fan of Thai Green Curry, this would be a good consideration Follow me for more nutrition content! #frozenmeals #healthiersg #nutritiontip #greencurry #asianfitness

5kg down while enjoying his food. How does he do it? During the COVID-19 pandemic, Alvin gained a lot of the weight he previously lost. Not wanting to go through the yoyo effect, he reached out to work with me on his nutrition. As an IT project manager, Alvin’s life is busy, and he also has a few social events that he cannot remove. We sat down to look at his exercise, lifestyle and nutrition habits and started to build strategies that make sense for his current lifestyle that could also be translated to future use with the hope of reducing the overall any potential weight rebound. The cool thing about working with Alvin is that in the last few months we have been working together, he always has a Friday social night with his friends and despite that, we have managed to help him lose 5kg while enjoying the food he likes, without sacrificing his social life. On top of the looser clothes, he also reported having lesser brain fog and more energy for work which is awesome since he has a lot to deal with work wise. If getting results like what Alvin has is what you are looking for, DM me “Let’s go” and I will reply you within 24 hours on how I can help get you to your fitness goal 💪🏻 #healthiersg #sgfitness #nutrition #fitnessmotivation #business

What should you do when you’re offered a slice of pizza? Take it, bite it, show some unintended ASMR love, and enjoy it! For the bulk of us not looking to compete in a bodybuilding contest, or look like America’s Next Top Model, good nutrition does not mean giving up on food you enjoy. What it does mean is to be mindful about eating those vegetables and lean protein, getting in those healthy vitamins and minerals, but at the same time, have a healthy dose of pizza in your life. In fact, you don’t even have to choose pizza! It can be anything you like. I just choose Pizza because I’m attached to one 😂 In the long run, not eating what you like in the name of weight loss will be more harmful than eating what you like and not lose weight. No, I’m serious. Your willpower will be stretched, you may start building a barrier against certain food groups, and when you finally grab that slice of pizza, you may enter into a level of binge that may put you on the same levels of the competitive eaters out there! Processed food are often marketed as empty calories because they lack nutrients. But processed food really are mental calorie dense – because emotionally speaking, they make you happy, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it! In fact, this is super critical for long term sustainability of your health and fitness journey. So remember – next time you want to eat something you like, eat it, take your time to enjoy it, and move forward after that without guilt! And if someone judges you for it, eat him/her too. You don’t deserve that kind of negativity in life 😂

How aerobically fit are you? The VO2max test is a measure of how healthy your heart and lungs are. In the sports science labs, physiologists use this to measure the performance opportunity of their athletes, while in the hospital, cardiologists would use this to measure the health of their patients. The VO2max test is recognized as the gold standard test to measure cardiorespiratory fitness, or how fit your heart and lungs are. Aside from understanding how fit your heart and lungs are, you can also find out whether you are using more fats or carbohydrates at different heart rate, and how much calories you burn per hour based on your individual heart rate. In some settings, this would be called the FATmax test, or fuel efficiency test. Along with these and other data like VT1 and VT2, you'll be able to tweak your training according to the goals you are hoping to achieve. Earlier last month I did my VO2max test at @dexafitasia to understand where my data is in order to help me understand where I am training wise, and use the data to perform better in training and recovery. The video below shows one of our standard RAMP based test, which keeps the speed constant and incline upwards. If you are looking to improve your fitness this year, this might be something worth investing in. The good news is that no matter what level of fitness you are at, we have a protocol that would suit your needs, so that you can understand your results and work towards better health and fitness. Disclaimer - I am the Head of Education over at Dexafit Asia. Pop me a text if you want to give the VO2max a go!

I’ve been missing cheerleading lately, so i spent some time after working out today to do some handstands. This was one of the better one, but somehow most of the rest were basically tilted towards the left. Probably wasn’t straightening my hands enough. Anyway.... still got it! In fact, i think this was better than my past attempts 😂 Anyone willing to throw some tips my way? 😛
