LEANER LIFE : LEON
Updated by Rachel Surgeoner: Good tasting, mediterranean inspired fast food.
Leon’s menu is based around the fruit and vegetables that are in season. Not only does this add to the taste of the food, it is also better for our environment (should we really be importing vegetables from half way across the world?).
Leon also source fish, meat and poultry responsible and sustainable suppliers. Here’s our recommendations…

Why did we choose these healthy choices at Leon?
The above recommendations were selected with the following guidelines:
Protein content above 20g
Low carbohydrate meals – less than 25g
Moderate carbohydrate meals – 25-50g
Recommend daily protein intake for adults participating in resistance training 1.2-2g/kg
Average female bodyweight in the UK = 70kg
Minimum daily target (1.2 x70) = 84g
Divide by 4 meals = 21g
To be clear, we do not favour or demonize any macronutrient. All three (protein, carbohydrate and fat) are required for optimal health. However, many of our clients who struggle to get leaner are found to be over consuming carbohydrates and under consuming protein. Therefore these recommendations are purely to help you manage your macronutrients for optimal health, fat loss and improve body composition.
