If you are exercising 3-5 hours per week, what are you doing the other 165hours?
You're eating.
That is why exercise alone will never get you a real honest-to-goodness body transformation, and why knowing how to change the way you eat is vital to changing your life.
Here are 7 tips to help you change your eating habits to give you the results you deserve.
1. Eat every 2-3 hours, no matter what. You should eat between 5-8 meals per day.
2. Eat complete (containing all the essential amino acids), lean protein with each meal.
3. Eat fruits and/or vegetables with each food meal.
4. Ensure that your carbohydrate intake comes from fruits and vegetables. Exception: workout and post-workout drinks and meals.
5. Ensure that 25-35% of your energy intake comes from fat, with your fat intake split equally between saturates (e.g. animal fat), monounsaturates (e.g., olive oil), and polyunsaturates (e.g. flax oil, salmon oil).
6. Drink only non-calorie containing beverages, the best choices being water and green tea.
7. Eat mostly whole foods (except workout and post-workout drinks).Ask yourself everyday if what you did today made you better and got you closer to your goal.
Win the day,
Tony
