Do you track your calories and if so, how many calories do you consume per day

I do, but the amount changes depending on whether I'm cutting for a comp and how much I'm cutting. I also aim to focus on weekly intake rather than day intake.

If you wasn't doing your sport what would you be doing

Sport wise I think I'd take my lifting more seriously either in hyrox or powerlifting.

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be

Marry me chicken pasta (my boyfriends speciality) and a sweet treat.

What keeps you showing up on hard days

I think a mix.. partly the knowledge that 16 year old Becky would be insanely proud and then also good old fashion disciplin. We say 'you might be having a day off but your opponent isnt'.

Advice youd give someone starting BJJ

If you're on the fence about starting, jump in and do it. It's not easy, don't expect quick progress. There will be days that feel impossible but it's so worth it. (And listen to your coaches. Sounds cringy but the amount of times I've been like 'surely that wont work' and then it does and I have to eat my words!)
