5 Simple Rules of Eating Well

1. Eat every 2-3 hours.  Small snacks.  Think 'grazing'.  Grazing on small snacks allows your body to burn more calories throughout the day.
2. Include lean (lowfat) protein in each meal and snack.  This applies to vegetarians as well. 
3. Include vegetables in each meal or snack.  If you just can't stand to eat them, then "Go Fro Greens" in your shakes, smoothies or mixed with water will suffice.
4. Save carb-heavy meals for after exercise.  Rice, potatoes, pasta are better processes within a 3 hour window post-exercise.
5. Include a good balance of healthy fat in your diet.  You need fat (fuel) to burn fat!!  But, GOOD FATS are key here.  Lean protein contains saturated fat  Mixed nuts, olives, and olive oil have monosaturated fats.
Flax seed oil and fish oil, contain polyunsaturated fats.
