EATING HEALTHY
Ask almost any personal trainer and they’ll 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, you’re likely to stall.
Maintain a balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, complete proteins, and healthy fats like fish oils and flaxseeds. No matter how bad your stomach is telling you to go for candy over healthy food, try to stay away from sweets. PREPARE AHEAD
Preparing meals in advance gives you the best chance to accomplish your nutrition goals, says Micah LaCerte, a personal trainer and fitness competition world champion. That way, he says, you won’t feel pressured to eat unhealthy foods or skip meals. Eating only three daily meals? Not a great idea. Eat five times a day, about every three hours, to stimulate their metabolism” including two mini-meals between three basic meals.
KEEP TRACKING
Keeping track of how many calories you eat in a day will be helpful in planning out your physical exercising. Ever wonder why body builders' body masses are so big? That's because they plan out their meals and take in more (healthy) calories than the average person. On the other hand, losing weight and striving for a skinnier physique will involve more physical exercise than calories you ingest.
