Carbs, Fats and Proteins: Your easy guide to reaching your New Years’ resolutions of losing weight
Carbs from breads, pastas, grains, etc… If you are trying to lose fat you may want to consider cutting back on these types of foods so they only comprise 10% – 20% of your overall diet. It is best to eat carbohydrate dense foods after an intense workout.
Fats from eggs, meats, nuts, avocados, beef, fish etc… This should comprise 20%-40% of your intake and can be eaten through out the day as part of each meal you consume.
Proteins from chicken, beef, fish, pork, yogurt, cheese etc.. These should also be a part of every meal and a good rule of thumb for portion control is to have 2 palm sized portions.
In short, always eat sensibly and ensure you have a protein, a healthy fat, and variety of vegetables with every meal. This combined with exercise will help you lose weight and be healthy.
