How any calories do you need each day during prime training? What's the best way to get the calories and what's for dinner?

Great question! During my biggest training days I am burning between 3,000-3,500 calories and I get to eat a lot! I've found the key is lots of snacks and small meals through out the day so that I never go more than 3 hours without eating. Keeps my energy consistent. One of my favorite dinners this summer was halibut taco bowls. I cooked the halibut on the grill with cajun seasoning and combined that with black beans, some brown rice, peppers, onions, spinach and avocado in a big bowl. topped with Salsa. Easy, full of good carbs and protein and delicious!
