Eating to lose- yes I am still on this topic. I am in love with fitness and all of the benefits that it has to offer but I can honestly tell you that if you don't have a perfect diet you are not going to reach your full potential. You should be eating every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism revved! This is going to help stabilize your blood sugar and in turn reduce cravings.
If you are like most people you aren't going to want to be eating chicken and fish for every meal! You can still have snack type foods but you want to make sure you are getting in 15-20 grams of protein. I have paired these proteins with carbohydrates to make perfect snack ideas! (portions will vary depending on weight)
Don't be afraid to snack between meals with VEGGIES! Get in as many leafy greens as you can and reap the nutrient rewards!! I like to snack on sugar snap peas and homemade kale chips for an extra crunch.
Snack ideas:
Protein packed Greek yogurt w/ 1/3 cup dry oats + berries
2 Hard boiled eggs, sugar snap peas w/ ¼ cup hummus
½ cup cottage cheese, 1/3 cup blueberries
(Post-Workout) Protein shake, medium banana or apple
½ cup egg white veggie omelet, 2 rice cakes w/ natural almond butter
