Do you even eat bro?

So like ever fashion model knows, the key to being skinny is to eat like a rabbit and do some cardio. So why when it comes to being healthy do we follow the same format?

The key words here are SKINNY and HEALTHY. You can log onto pinterest and see hundreds of examples of fit vs thin. I have even posted on the difference before here. Serious now, why do we starve ourselves to be healthy? We hear that we need portion control and to avoid fast food. However what we are forgetting is its not all about size or how many times a day you eat. It's basic macro and micro nutrients!

To avoid boring you to death with the details I am just going to spit this out here really fast.

You need your macro nutrients, carbs, proteins, and fat. To build muscle and therefore increase you RMR (resting metabolic rate) you need to eat. 40% carbs 40% protein and 20% fat in each meal is the ratios used to build muscle and keep from gaining fat. Simply eat your target calories every day. (Send me a message on facebook or talk to a qualified personal trainer to find out)

If you don't fuel the machine, don't expect it to work!

Second, micros. You can eat a wide variety of fruits and veggies, but for someone like me who is strapped on time and energy I just take a good multi. I have recently switched from Lifetime Fitness AM PM performance multi. To the Shaklee Vitalizer for women. I love love love it! Check out this site for some info on picking the right multi. Stay far away from the costco, walmart, one a day, or centrum garbage. Its a waste of space and urine.

So cheers, eat up, and lose weight! To start tracking your calories I like livestrong.com MYPLATE. But you can use calorie king, or any calorie trackers out there.
