A quick and easy breakfast

Looking for a quick and simple way to make breakfast? Well you have come to the right place because I am going to show you a really easy recipe that I found and use quite a lot now and it is the 'Hot Breakfast Burrito'. I love eating burritos but I'm not the biggest breakfast fan but eating this is a treat. Takes around 5-10 minutes to make and the ingredients you need are:

  • 1-2 large wholemeal tortilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • Small handful of cheddar
  • 1 chopped tomato 
  • 2 table spoons of salsa 
Now to make this breakfast
  • Place the tortilla on the chopping board 
  • Scramble the eggs
  • Add the scrambled egg to the tortilla and then place the cheese, tomato and salsa and then fold the tortilla as you would for a burrito
  • If you want to grill the wrap to make it crispy then do so for around 2 minutes.
And there you have it a nice easy dish and for one serving is 319 calories, 16g protein, 28g carbs, 14g fat (4g saturated) 2g fibre.
Stay tuned for more recipes.

Time to focus

So it's almost time to go back to college for my final year in hope to become a certified personal trainer and sports injury specialist. This just means only one thing, time to focus and kick start what I'm hoping to be my career. Not only am I going to really focus on my college work but also focus on training, nutrition and also my blog. So be prepared to see more posts of training and meal plans and maybe even some videos on preparing meals. If you have any questions then don't be afraid to ask them and I will reply straight away.

Switching routine ... AGAIN!!

So I'm finding myself slacking in the gym a little, not hitting my goals, lacking motivation. I find that the best way for this is to go back to my Legs/Push/Pull split routine as I found that with this routine I was more motivated then ever and was seeing results fast.

This time round I am going to be going harder then before making sure I hit my goals each month. The way I am going to do this is change the routine each time but then go back to it and repeat this for a month and then change that workout the following month. For example for my leg day, one day will be squats and the other will be deadlifts and just repeat this for a month and then change it. Supersets and drop sets will be included and on a de-load day (lighter weights higher reps) I will include circuits onto my workout to really hit those muscles and keep them guessing.

I will be posting up more workouts and my nutrition plan so keep posted, more coming your way.

Changing up my routine

So today I thought I'd give myself a rest from the gym and not go back until Monday and when I do go back, I come back with a new routine. It's not down to the fact I don't like the routine but I want to change in order to keep those muscles guessing to get the best results.

Iv gone for a simple routine and one that most people follow.


  • Monday - Chest and Back
  • Tuesday - Legs and abs
  • Wednesday - Shoulders and abs
  • Thursday - Chest 
  • Friday - Arms
Now Iv got chest in my routine twice a week. The reason why chest is in the routine twice a week is because I find that it is one of my weak areas. You should do the same, whatever your weak area is try to hit it twice a week and then once you find that it is not so much of a weak area, choose another body part to work on more. See for me I have a few weak areas so I'm going to concentrate on them for probably about a month each before I change what weak area I am working next.

I will keep you posted from Monday onwards on how I find the routine is going.

Stay tuned for more fitness and nutrition tips.
