@The Goalkeeping journey of Alex Carroll I just saw your channel and I must tell you something, since you're only 11 years old your body acts differently to nutrition. You should start taking it seriously around 13-14 years old. Proud of you and keep going 👏
Great video as always!! Another point he could’ve mentioned is having low enough body fat levels especially for Wingers because they need to be more explosive and agile. I’m 19 years old and when I was 17 I fell into the trap of bulking when I was supposed to focus on simply getting enough protein to build muscle and maintain a lean physique
Love this! Hope you're doing well in life. What is the optimal balance of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) for soccer players in order to enhance performance and recovery, taking into account individual variations in body composition, metabolic rate, and training intensity? Wish you all the best!
I would think carbs are most important for sprinting as much as soccer players do. Soccer is not like NFL, so dont need as much muscle, but need the quick explosive fuel source.
Personally, the eating part might be where I messed up. I don’t really pay attention to how much I eat and all that. During summer seasons and preseason I thought lifting weights would help me keep my muscles, but thanks to Matt I just discovered the secret.
@@tomthecat9317 dont worry, look at messi, hes always been short, and now his one of the best players in the world, anything is possible, no matter your height
I am definitely making mistake #1. I don't calculate anything. I just assume that I am actually eating properly to gain or lose weight. Now my goal was to get bigger. Now I am trying to lose body fat and it's been difficult.
Great video Matt, because of you now I'll be able to eat more calories and put on more muscle. I'm Sharing this vid to every one of my teammates.. this video is like a cheat code great video dude....
The timing in this is kinda funny for me. I was sitting down today to look for some background music while planning my diet and this comes up. Cool video.
Dear Matt, im a 15-16 year old Soccer player at 5’6.. im around 120 pounds and trying to gain muscle while keeping a good body for performance because preseason is around the corner.. what do you think i should do? love the vids❤
Hey Matt! Can you please make a video explaining the fascial system for footballers as it is very trending on Instagram these days and it says to stop going the gym as a footballer so it's a bit confusing.Thanks Matt!
Is that why after an intense game or intense training session i get this massive salt craving, bunch of my team mates would be having that sweet glucose after but I'll be drinking electrolytes and drinking lemonade with salt. Turns out I was doing the right thing. Also if i didn't do this I'd feel so weak and dizzy.
Honestly for me to gain muscle is me eating more of the healthy foods plus a snack during lunch 🥪all I gotta worry about is more of the healthy food more protein mostly.
this is a great video. Can someone please give me tips to easily track my calories? I'm struggling to gain mass. love your videos, they really help so thanks
Carbs are king for endurance sports. White rice gels gatorade potatoes breads.. pastas.. carboloading properly will put you performance above others and its proven high glycogen cotent improves performance salt holds water in your muscles combined with carbs thats power boost.
very useful! I play 10.30am Sunday mornings? What would you recommend for breakfast? I usually have a big bowl of porridge (soaked overnight) at 8.30am? Is this too heavy?
Maybe try eating it at 7:30am to leave plenty of times to digest, also oats are fibre therefore stay in your system for longer. How do you feel when you start the game? full? heavy?
@@barnabydehoedt What I do for a Saturday 3pm game is: Friday I start fuelling my body, eating a bit more carbs than usual (but no too much). I'd have my normal breakfast, lunch would be my usual food (proteins, green and carbs) plus a bit extra carbs so maybe a bit extra rice or pasta. The I'd have dinner a bit earlier than usual say 7-8pm but this time it'd be higher on the carb side so I would usually have a big pasta portion plus protein (chicken or meat or fish) and greens, leaving plenty of time to digest before going to bed, the body will then have time do to its magic in absorbing the carbs. On Saturday when I wake up I'd have some "small to medium" sized portion of porridge with some banana, some coffee or tea at around 9-10am and bring with me either a protein shake (a commercial one not water plus protein powder from home) plus a tangerine or some dry nuts for the leading up to the game and eat them if I need. I also do some foam rolling/ easy stretches to wake up the body. I also drink plenty of water throughout the week so my body is hydrated; if you start drinking water the day of the game you are already late. So you for a 10:30 am game on Sunday, if you take football seriously that is, your preparation should start on Saturday. Since the game is quite early, you should be able to wake up, have something light to eat like a medium bowl of oats rather than a big one, add some peanut butter as fat is also good for energy, drink water, do some morning stretches and make your way to the game. With time and more games under your belt with the new eating schedule, you can then tweak to your needs and your body, for example, you might not want to have a heavy dinner the day before if you feel "full" so you eat something medium to light.
matt is there a difference with not eating the yolk and only the egg white? idk why but i dont like yolk so i only eat the egg white unless its scrambled egg lol
the egg white is mostly just protein. all the actual nutrients and vitamins are in the yolk. Eggs are a good source of nutrients and I would just continue to scramble them to get the most out of the eggs.
This has nothing to do with the video but today i had a football match and i dont know what hapenned but i was super fast and ran all the pitch and i wasnt even tired after that this was crazy
Can u talk about how to have The best player of all time in the world shape Cristiano Ronaldo if u know any thing about his daily routine and Iam footballer not American football but Americans call it soccer player . This episode is great and I have a lot about what u did fam thanks .
It is funny how messi and maradona are small players but are the most prolific scorer and probably considered the goat when they dont have the body of hulk
i found calories counting are irrelevant these days. its better to go counting for nutrition and came from real whole food. if you eat real food, i mean real nutrititious food, your body will give the right signal to stop through ghrelin and leptin hormones, and using it better inside our body as a fuel
Use my system 2000 calories per day or less 75% protein 12.5% fat 12.5% carbs Easy system for 8% BF. However doing it differentiates the men from the children.

Thanks for the diet advice 🤗🫂
Hey, was wondering if you could make a video about athletes performance with and without sugar! Nobody really provides me with a definitive answer

nice, very good stuff @@estebangarzonlerma
So is it good to drink water with added salt ?
yeah it'd hydrate u but u dont need to
Add salt only if you are sweating a lot.
Yes because just water doesnt really hydrate you. Water and salts do.
@@karigrandii but normal water already has salts in it
@@serignetall2800 yeah no water hydrates u ofc but thats also using salt from your meals i suppose so salt just makes it even more effective
What about Fasting or Keto? How does that fit in the diet of a pro athlete?
matt is there a difference with not eating the yolk and only the egg white? idk why but i dont like yolk so i only eat the egg white unless its scrambled egg lol
the egg white is mostly just protein. all the actual nutrients and vitamins are in the yolk. Eggs are a good source of nutrients and I would just continue to scramble them to get the most out of the eggs.

Hello matt how can I get in touch with you?
what is the easiest way to track what i am eating
wait so shall i just put abit of salt in my water and mix if for training in summer?
Can u talk about how to have The best player of all time in the world shape Cristiano Ronaldo if u know any thing about his daily routine and Iam footballer not American football but Americans call it soccer player .
This episode is great and I have a lot about what u did fam thanks .
Question. I have a 10 year old son. When can I inteoduce him to a little strength training?
What is the difference between taking electrolyte packets and just adding something like sea salt to your water?
£££
1. Not eating enough (while training a lot)
2. Eating too much (while not training enough)
What is the Calculating website or app?
Seed oils, and processed foods gotta go out the window
Most people have the opposite issue. They gain weight regardless, and cannot lose it like they want to.
I tried using the calculator to see how many calories i need, but there is no option for 14 year olds. What should i do?
Put it to 15, and then whatever calories it tells you, minus by 50. I did that too, it's not a big difference between 14 and 15 lol.
@adrianmarin302 ok thanks 👍
what about sugar ? are desserts allowed ? :D You said you used to have chocolate ice-creams post meal :p
Why did you have Croatia shirt
To gain muscle as long as you lift, eat protein, and veggies. Avoid carbs are much as you can because its just sugar anyways.
Avoid carbs ? 👀🥲
Do not avoid carbs....
when did u make it pro?
Fantastic
It is funny how messi and maradona are small players but are the most prolific scorer and probably considered the goat when they dont have the body of hulk
Nutrition is so expansive in my poor country, so we eat as much as possible when we get the chance
Did you got years back , when u was +-18 y.o. an understanding of football as real profession ?
i found calories counting are irrelevant these days. its better to go counting for nutrition and came from real whole food. if you eat real food, i mean real nutrititious food, your body will give the right signal to stop through ghrelin and leptin hormones, and using it better inside our body as a fuel
Use my system
2000 calories per day or less
75% protein
12.5% fat
12.5% carbs
Easy system for 8% BF. However doing it differentiates the men from the children.
How do you become a certified nutritionist?
Certified nutritionists usually take graduate level classes as part of a program but they also have programs with an overview of nutrition concepts where you take a test at the end to become certified such as NASM.

To gain weight = calorie surplus
To lose weight= calorie deficit
That’s the only way, that’s just the truth.
If you go to the gym and are trying to gain muscle but your in a deficit can you still gain muscle?? Yes you can, in a body recomposition
Depending how many years you been weight training. Experienced lifter on a deficit... little to almost no muscle gain
