You can't outrun your fork!

The old saying is true....You are what you eat!

• Drink Plenty of water... at least 64 oz - I shoot for 90 each day
• Plan Ahead. So critical - Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail!
• Eat 5 small meals a day - every 3 hrs - around 250-300 calories per meal
• Each meal, eat a balance of lean proteins and healthy carbs - be sure to have veggies with at least 2 of your meals
• A serving size of protein should be able to fit in your hand. Serving of carbs is size of your fist - veggies sz of a sm cereal bowl
• You CAN overeat on the right foods, so pay attention to the size of your portions
• Certain fruits are high in sugar. Lowest sugar fruits are: apples, berries and pears. Next lowest in sugar are grapefruit, cantaloupe, oranges, plums and nectarines. Grapes are high in sugar - and ripe bananas as well.
• For weight loss, try to limit your breads, pastas, etc. after 3pm. Give your body time to burn it off during the day.
• Protein bars or shakes are a great substitute for one of your meals if you're on the go - be sure to check the sugar content of the bar - you want less than 10g - you want one that's high in protein as well.
• Be sure and eat within 1 hr of your workout - protein plus complex carbs to assist in your muscle repair. I like to make that a protein shake.Take one day or one meal as a "free day" :)
• If you would like to calculate your food your food totals, the website http://www.fitday.com/ has nutritional values for thousands of foods.
