Basic calculations for everybody.

Now that you know how to calculate your energy intake, the question is “How much of each macro should I eat?” Calculating your macros is rather easy and I think everybody should know how to do it by himself.

Pomegranate Beef Stew

Easy, bold flavour from Persia.

Today there is a Persian inspired dish on the menu. Exotic spices, pomegranate and comforting poppy seeds may seem weird at first glance, but work together perfectly. Give it a try, I am sure you will like it!

How To Calculate Your Energy Intake

Easy calculations and adjustments for every goal.

The question seems trivial on the surface: How much should I eat? If you dig deeper into it, determining your energy demand can get quite complicated. Countless different formulas try to calculate what can only be guesstimated in real life. Therefore I show you an easy way to do the calculations yourself and how to make sure the numbers fit your goals.

How To Autoregulate Your Training

Making almost every training program better.

Autoregulating training programs are the new way to go when it comes to program design. They have a lot to offer, leaving the old cookie-cutter templates from muscle magazines outdated by comparison. Still, autoregulative training isn’t for everyone. Let’s dive into the pros and cons of this great tool in this article!

Lingua In Agrodolce

Eating nose to tail for beginners.

Eating innards is daunting for most of us. This is a way to get started with it, as tongue has a mild taste, isn’t really offal and just works great in this typical Italian recipe directly from Rome. Come on, try it out, you will be pleasantly surprised!

The Online Coaching User Manual

The Do’s and Don’ts of Online Coaching.

I feel there is still much confusion about Online Coaching out there. People still are quite sceptic about it and therefore I want to help the public to understand Online Coaching better. To shed more light on this awesome tool, I have decided to write a user manual, explaining what is important when working with a coach in an online setting. Spoiler alert: it’s a lot about communication!

Beef Curry Vindaloo

Indian spices meet a Portugese twist.

Nothing beats a nice curry if you ask me. I remember the first time when I read a recipe of the Vindaloo curry, thinking “wow, that’s strange!” It packs an interesting punch in the form of vinegar, which was introduced to India when Portugal used to have colonies in the land of spices. The Portuguese seem to love their vinegar and they used it to remind them of home and as a natural way to preserve goods in a time long before anything like a refrigerator. I am glad about this fusion, as it makes for a delicious curry you definitely should give a try!

Chinese Sweet And Sour Chicken

With fermented black beans for an umami laden twist.

I think the Chinese sweet and sour chicken we know is as Chinese as chicken tikka masala is Indian: not at all! Despite its lack of authenticity, it’s still a delicious dish. I added a special ingredient to make things more interesting and nudge it a little more back to China.

Tales of Scotland, training, education and much more.

I don’t like writing at lot on social media as I think most people (including me) are there mostly for the visual content. But quite a few things happened over the last months and I want to provide you with an update. I will cover our “Summer Escape” in Scotland, our training, further education and much more. Have a nice read, I hope you like it!

Bolognese Beef

A comforting italian inspired stew.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that a few simple ingredients result in such an incredible flavour. But the smell of beef slowly bubbling away in tomatoes, garlic and rosemary already gives a hint of the awesomeness that is cooking up. Patience is the most important ingredient here, but totally worth it, so don’t rush anything. You will be rewarded big times!
