Simple Nutrition Rules to Get Stronger
How you look is largely influenced by what you eat. Lack of muscle mass, high body fat, lack of energy at work or at the gym, bad skin, digestive problems, … All of that can be caused by unhealthy nutrition. Since there’s a lot of confusion about what to eat and why, here are 8 simple nutrition rules that will help you build muscle, lose fat & get stronger.
You get energy from the first hour and you’ll be less hungry the rest of the day. It also sets the trend: you’ll tend to eat healthier if your day starts with a strong & healthy breakfast. Your best bet: omelets, smoothies & cottage cheese. Read how to build the habit of eating breakfast and try these breakfast recipes.
The easiest way: breakfast, lunch, dinner, post workout, pre bed and 2 snacks in between. Benefits: Less Hunger. Eating more smaller meals vs. few big meals will decrease your stomach size. You’ll feel full faster and your waist will trim. Less Cravings. Not eating for long periods usually causes overeating at the next meal or ending at the candy machine. Eat at fixed times every day and your body will get hungry at those fixed times. Example: 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 6pm, 7pm & 10pm.
You need protein to build and maintain muscle. Proteins also help fat loss since they have the highest thermic effect. And they satiate: proteins make you full longer than carbs. How much protein should you eat daily? At least 1g per pound of body-weight. That’s 200g/day if you weigh 200lbs. The easiest way to get this amount is to eat a whole protein source with each meal. Some include: Red Meat. Beef, pork, lamb, deer, buffalo, etc. Poultry. Chicken, turkey, duck, etc. Fish. Tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, etc. Eggs. Don’t believe the cholesterol myths. Eat the yolk. Dairy. Milk, cheese, cottage cheese, quark, yogurt, etc. Whey. Not necessary but great for easy post workout shakes. Check also these protein sources for vegetarians & vegans.
Fruits & Veggies with Each Meal. Most of them are low calorie: you can eat your stomach full without gaining fat or weight. Fruits & veggies are also full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber which helps digestion. Some of my favorite fruits & veggies are: apples, berries, pineapple, oranges, bananas, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, pumpkin, beans, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, roman lettuce, chicory, peas, etc
While you need carbs for energy, most people eat more than they need. Limit your carb intake to post workout only. Eat Fruits & Veggies with all Meals. These contain little carbs compared to whole grains. Exception: corn, carrots, raisins. Other Carbs Post Workout Only. This is rice, pasta, bread, potatoes, quinoa, oats, etc. Avoid white carbs and eat whole grain. Exception. If you’re a skinny guy who wants to gain weight: eat carbs post workout and post post workout. More if needed. http://6bbb97q8tbjv9maymhd3ozskil.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=FATBURN
