Uncomplicate your Diet for Success!
Caloric Intake:
Many times we over-complicate nutritional advice. The following is a very simple way to figure out how many calories you should eat based on activity levels.
If you follow it, you will be successful. It is that simple. If you need a meal plan please contact me.
basically - 4 to 6 small meals daily. Eat lean meats 3.5 Oz 2-3 times daily, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
To find out what intake levels will support exercise but not body fat, simply multiply your body-weight by:
o 10-12 if you are not active (have a sedentary job and do not exercise)
o 12-14 if you are somewhat active (have a sedentary job & exercise 3x/wk)
o 14-16 if you highly active (on feet all day, actively lifting 40 + lbs regularly)
This is a good starting place for you to begin the process of achieving optimal health and fitness.
