4. Eat Healthy I could spend days offering suggestions on meal variations, but there are many excellent books that have been written to give you ideas. I will share my recommendations in another upcoming article. So, to make it simple, a typical meal should be a protein, a carbohydrate and a vegetable or fruit.
Here is a sample daily meal plan that I eat to get you started:
- Meal one: Protein shake with 1% milk (I like whey protein drinks such as IsoPro)
- Meal two: 1/2 an apple and cottage cheese or yogurt
- Meal three: Piece of chicken (no skin) and a small salad
- Meal four: Cheese and the balance of the apple
- Meal five: Piece of lean meat, rice or potatoes, vegetables
- Meal six: Low fat chocolate pudding mixed with protein powder
5. The Best Part? Reward Yourself!
Choose one day a week as your reward day and eat whatever you want and as much as you want. Whether you like pasta, cookies, ice cream or my personal favorite chocolate. Enjoy!
