To do so, we recommend the fist, thumb, fist rule -- build your meals with at least : 4-6 ounces of lean protein (a fist), like chicken, eggs, whey protein shake 1-2 tablespoons of good fats (a thumb), like olive oil, raw seeds/nuts, fish oil supplements 1 cup of good (unprocessed) carbohydrates (a fist), like fruit, veggies, full grain bread, oatmeal, green food supplementSince it's not always easy to get all the right items at a restaurant, we also recommend easy-to-take supplements -- like fish oil, protein powder, green drinks and multi's -- that you can carry with you. The good fats and healthy greens are especially difficult to find at some restaurants. |
