Originally from Belfast, Ireland, I have been in the sport of boxing for around 15 years. I was a former Irish Elite Amateur Boxer and travelled around the world boxing as an amateur. I moved to Australia in 2019 and became a professional boxer.
I was carrying out research on local meal plan companies that would best suit my routine and dietary requirements, when I came across Lite n’ Easy. I looked further into the company and saw that they support athletes around Australia by providing good nutrition, which encouraged me to reach out for help in my journey as a professional boxer.
In the past, I have used Hello Fresh, My Muscle Chef and Youfoodz, but they didn’t suit my dietitian’s plan for me and weren’t easily adjusted as Lite n’ Easy is. When it comes to choosing my ready meals Lite n’ Easy offers high protein, quick to prepare meals for breakfast and lunch, which are great, as I train twice a day in between my work schedule. Also, with Lite n’ Easy, the additional fruit and snacks are already packed for me in the lunch bags, which is such a help because I used to forget to pack extras then miss crucial nutrients to boost my next training session on the go.
At the beginning of fight camp, I ordered the Lite n’ Easy Standard (1500 calorie) Meal Plan, then added additional snack packs, fruit and the new protein shakes to meet my increased dietary needs, On the last week of my fight preparation, I reduced to the Lite (1200 calorie) Plan to allow me to trim down for my weigh in. Lite n’ Easy make all this such a smooth process because the flexibility of the meals plans and extras allow me to adjust as I go and keep hitting my nutritional targets.
The food is tasty and doesn’t feel like you’re on a strict diet, because you’re not. I enjoy all the different variety of the meals, the fruit, and the protein shakes are very good as well, my favourite breakfast is the breakfast wrap. I really enjoy the Butter Chicken lunch as well, which is so good, it feels like a “cheat meal”. I also enjoy an Apple Crumble or 2, after my dinner.
Being a boxer and having to routinely drop weight for a fight isn’t easy, when you do it every few months. Lite n’ Easy made my last transition the smoothest in years because I was adequately nourished and stayed healthy throughout, rather than starving myself. Managing my weight is something I’ve always struggled with due to time-consuming meal prep and forgetting important snacks during my busy day, causing me to overindulge at nighttime. Lite n’ Easy helps reduce the pressure of this situation by packing and labelling everything I need for each meal of the day, so I can just grab and go.
I have encouraged a few friends to try Lite n' Easy and they all thought the meals were surprisingly good. Some have gone on and done their own orders. My partner is into her fitness too, and she enjoys the meals such as Mac n’ Cheese and the Nachos, because she can still eat carbs, but in a "healthier" way.
