HEALTHY EATING 1. Nutritional Basics

• Ask almost any personal trainer and theyll tell
  you that regardless of your training goals,
  healthy eating is the backbone. Food is what
  fuels your body to reach your goals and without
  proper nutrition through quality foods, youre
  likely to stall. As a result, if possible, eat
  organic foods and, above all else, maintain a
  balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables,
  complex carbohydrates, complete proteins, and
  fats including such things as fish oils and
  flaxseeds.

2. Prepare Ahead

• Regardless of what youre doing, preparing
  yourself in advance gives you the best chance to
  accomplish your goals. Micah LaCerte, a personal
  trainer and fitness competition world champion,
  explains that your approach to nutrition should
  be no different. LaCerte says its best to
  prepare for your upcoming day by prepping all
  your food in advance. He adds that this will
  ensure you do not eat bad foods or skip meals.

3. Eat more

• Eating only three daily meals? For over 25 years,
  personal trainer Mike Duffy has sought to correct
  this habit explaining that, half the people I
  deal with arent losing workout routine for men
  because they dont eat enough. Duffy advises
  them to eat five times a day, about every three
  hours to stimulate their metabolism including
  two mini meals between their three basic meals.
  With activity levels decreasing throughout the
  day, he advises to eat less as the day goes on.

4. Portion Control

• Youll be eating more often, so paying attention
  to portions is extremely important. Jay
  Cardiello, a personal trainer to countless
  celebrities and professional athletes, explains
  that you need to make sure chicken breasts,
  (and) meats, are no larger than your palm and
  that spaghettis, (and) pastas, are no larger
  than your fists. He also suggests using smaller
  bowls, plates, and cups because studies show
  people serve themselves 20 to 40 more food when
  theyre using larger plates.
