Hello to all of you! Today I wanted to go over some nutrition info that lots of people have been asking me about via email. Here is a page from my eBook on nutrition & hopefully I can answer some of your questions. You can always head to my website & purchase the eBook for more specific & detailed information!

1. What am I supposed to eat? Well...you can follow the chart above for a general guideline. But you want to make sure and have lean protein, good carbohydrates, & vegetables at every meal. Lean proteins include chicken, turkey, & low fat beef. Good carbohydrates & protein include quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat bread, beans, Greek yogurt, avocado, natural peanut butter, mixed nuts, & eggs. Good vegetables include broccoli, celery, carrots, bell peppers, & spinach/kale.
2. How many calories should I consume per day? Each person is different & your numbers will be different based on your ultimate goals. To lose weight, burning 3,500 calories will drop you 1 pound. So by decreasing your caloric intake by 500 calories per day, you will lose 1 pound per week.
3. What if I can't afford healthy food? Ok, I know that whole foods isn't the cheapest place on earth but there are still cost friendly foods out there. You can check out a previous blog for all the foods but here are a few. These are all inexpensive and healthy. Eggs, whole wheat bread, brown rice, beans, low fat cheese, milk, broccoli, spinach, deli meat, chicken, bananas, apples, & fat free yogurt.
4. How much water should I drink per day? Well...there's no easy answer but I suggest 2-4 liters per day all based on your ultimate goals, size, & gender. I myself usually have 3-4 liters (1 gallon) per day. Rule of thumb: look at your urine and make sure it is clear or a light yellow. If not, your not getting enough water!
These were the most popular questions. Eating clean isn't easy & it takes discipline & dedication, but your body will thank you :)
Have a great week!
