ME: Let’s have a look at how you eat and train
to be in the incredible shape you’re in. How
does your diet change between competition
and the off-season?
CM: I don’t change my diet too drastically as I
like staying in shape all year round. Off season I
do tend to eat more carbs but that encourages
me to train harder as I have more energy. I enjoy
the clean eating and feeling healthy all year
round.
ME: How important is eating when it comes
to sculpting a physique like yours? Is it
possible to look like you and not be strict
about your diet?
CM: Virtually impossible! It is extremely
important. Your diet is actually 70% of what
your result is going to be. Without strict
and clean eating you will never achieve that
sculpted physique.
ME: When it comes to diet, what is your
top tip for women looking to take their
physiques to the next level, or looking to
take the leap and start competing?
CM: Always have your meals prepared because
failing to plan is planning to fail. Invest in
a 6 pack cooler bag that can go with you
absolutely everywhere. Make sure all your
meals have been weighed accurately and
make sure that you're consuming enough
calories for your physique. Drink lots of water
because there are endless benefits.
ME: What are the absolute essential
supplements?
CM: Multivitamin, vitamin C, calcium, whey
protein, L-glutamine, flax-seed oil.
ME: What does a typical day's meal
plan look like?
CM: • Breakfast: 4 egg whites, 1 whole
egg and 30g rolled oats (mixed
together and make a pancake) sprinkle
sweetener and cinnamon.
• Mid morning: 30g of lean biltong and
half a cup of strawberries
• Lunch: 80g chicken and 1 slice of
pineapple
• Mid afternoon: 80g chicken and 1 slice
of pineapple
