2.   Macronutrient Timing

……Eat low fat/ high protein/moderate carb meals in the morning – fruit smoothies with protein ……powder, oatmeal with cinnamon, raisins & protein powder, grilled chicken fruit salad

……Eat low carb/high protein/moderate fat meals in the evening – soups, salads, stir frys, etc…lots ……of veggies (the crunchy kind) but no grains

……Lunch can go either way.

……Part of the theory behind macronutrient timing is that carbs are used for energy. As your day ……winds down, your need for carbs is reduced. And if you’re not burning carbs for energy, the will ……turn to fat.

……So, if your afternoon is going to require lots of energy, opt for a carb/pro meal. If your afternoon ……is kind of lazy, then go with the pro/fat meal.

3.   Eat Protein at Every Meal

……I’m not saying to eat a huge 24oz. Porterhouse steak. More like half a chicken breast or a ……couple of eggs or some tofu or a scoop of protein powder.

5.   Stop Drinking Your Calories

……This morning, I am in Starbucks behind two women who are complaining that they can’t lose ……weight even though they are 1. working out 3 times a week and 2. never cheating on their diets.

……And then they both ordered Grande mocha-frappucino type drinks

……My head almost exploded.

……BTW, they had just walked across the street from their health club.

9.   Get Smart about Peri-Workout Nutrition

……At the very least, you need to sip on a sugar-sweetened beverage during your workout – ……Gatorade, diluted orange juice, etc…

……In tomorrow’s post, I will elaborate on this subject.

10.   Always Carry Healthy Snacks

……Our society thrives on junk food.

……If you want to eat healthy in order to lose weight, live longer, etc, you need to be prepared. Like ……a good little boy scout, you need to spend a little time every night preparing your healthy lunch ……& snacks.
