Now that we have determined how many calories are requires,
we need to figure out what type of calories will work best
to help us meet ours goals. The ratio of carbohydrates (carbs)
to protein to fat plays an important role in determining
how our body develops.
A balanced meal plan breakdown
is 50% carb 25% protein and 25% fat. For those of you who
are trying to lose weight you should reduce your carbs to
45%, increase your protein to 35% and reduce your fats to
20%. Bodybuilders require more protein for muscle growth,
the breakdown should be 40% to 40% to 20%. You might need
to make some adjustments depending on what stage of your
training you are in.
Portion control and meal frequency are also very important.
We should eat 5 to 7 small meals daily. The more often we
eat the higher our metabolism raises. Even though we are
eating several meals we need to make sure we are still within
our caloric para meters.
I monitor my clients food consumption because eating can
make or break our results. We can do everything right in
the gym, then go and blow it at the dinner table. Let there
be no mistake about it our eating habits are extremely important.
Go through your cupboard and get rid of everything that
isn’t healthy. Donate it to a food bank, we need to get
it out of the house.
People often ask me what is a healthy meal plan. I wish
it was that easy. Everyone is different so our needs are
different. Keep checking this page I will be giving you
hints and suggestions on how you can determine what is good
for you. Before you make any changes to your eating habits
you should consult your doctor.
I wish you luck with your goals if I can help please contact
