Guideline on How to Eat Throughout the Day 1. Always, always have breakfast within 1 hour of waking up. This will kick start your day and help create the path you will take. It is a known fact that most people who skip breakfast will eat badly throughout the day. 6. Practice portion control. You should have a healthy balance of all food groups. Half of your plate should consist of vegetables. ¼ of your plate protein and ¼ carbs. 2. Do not skip any meals, again this can cause you to make bad decisions. Always prepare. Keep healthy snacks in your bag, desk, car to keep you on track should you be out longer than expected. Try eating a meal or snack every 2.5-3 hours. 3. Stay hydrated four to six 16 ounces bottles of water a day is mandatory. Your initial weight loss is water weight. You need to drink an adequate amount of water to avoid dehydration. Also, the process of burning calories requires an adequate supply of water to function efficiently. Dehydration slows down the fat burning process. Water is also important for maintaining or gaining weight as it is responsible for keeping your body s systems running properly. Water flushes out toxins, and keeps your blood cells healthy (fights off illness) 4. Juice, filled with sugar. STAY AWAY from it and use only in emergency and no more than 8 ounces per serving. It can be substituted as a fruit occasionally. 5. Fat, try not to cook with it. Add it to your meals. Bake, grill, steam and/or stir fry using nonfat cooking spray only. At minimum, a single serving of fat a day should be consumed daily. Fat enables you to absorb vitamins and provides an insulation and cover for vital organs. It is an important part of your diet, if consumed correctly. 7. Protein is extremely important when looking to improve your metabolic rate, curb hunger and build muscle mass. If you are looking to keep your assets, it is important that you do not subtract any food group from your diet. The amount of protein you consume daily will vary based off your level of activity, height, weight and goals. 1
1. The ideal daily Protein intake for weight loss and weight management is 0.8 1.5 grams per pound of body weight. The actual number will be determined based of your level of activity and goals. More if you are active, less if you are not. Ex... If you are a moderately active and weigh 150 lbs. you should have about 150 grams of protein a day. 2. The ideal daily Protein intake for weight gain is.64 to.82 per pound of body weight each day. 9. Avoid a diet high in sugar, fat or sodium! All three contribute to several health-related diseases and will also cause weight gain in all the wrong areas.

Eat Brown not White carbohydrates (2 3 small servings a day), consume several cups of greens and at least 2-3 fruits per day.
