In this video I’m doing a 2600+ calorie lean bulk full day of eating… but sick day edition. I’m not completely ill, it’s more that “start of a cold” feeling (stuffed up, throat a bit funny), so I’m sharing the little tips and tricks I always start doing ASAP to stop it developing further. I kick the day off with vitamin C + zinc effervescent tablets (my mum put me on these) and I sneak my creatine in there too because I genuinely hate the taste of creatine on its own. I also keep my basics consistent: water first (coffee does not count), then my essential multivitamin and omega-3s. Food-wise, I keep breakfast the same to avoid decision fatigue: egg white oats, decaf green tea, and a full tub of natural yogurt. Then I make a warm, hearty soup using bone broth (absolute game-changer), because it’s an easy way to get in protein and nutrients when you’re not feeling 100%. I also talk about training when you’re run down—listen to your body—and I share a faith + mindset moment from my squat PR day, because for me, my strength comes from Jesus. And yes: prioritize sleep if you’re trying to recover.
