Many people are told that they should eat a certain way to ensure that they keep their metabolism active throughout the day - ie 3 meals and 2-3 snacks. What a lot of people aren't sure of, is how to actually do that, and what is a good daily plan.
Here's what I eat typically in a day:
Meal 1: 7.30am - Muesli with a skim milk protein shake, blueberries or other berries.
Meal 2: 10.00am (snack) 25g cheese, piece of fruit - or 1 cup watermelon/strawberries etc.
Meal 3: 1.00pm Grilled chicken, green beans, brocolli or salad
Meal 4: 3.00pm (snack) Natural Greek Yoghurt, Low fat, with frozen blueberries and sprinkle of muesli on top.
Meal 5: 7-8pm Stir fry chicken or beef, bokchoy, capsicum, beans, sprouts etc with fist size of basmati rice; or grilled marinated chicken with green veges & potato.
Meal 6: 8.30pm (snack) piece of fruit and handful of almonds
Drink during day : 2-4L water depending on exercise levels & heat.
- As you can see from the above, the daily food intake covers protein, carbs & fats. Incorporates plenty of calcium, fruit and vegetables, with adequate hydration during the day.
Two evenings a week I will 'cheat' by adding some wine & dark chocolate.
If you can plan out a week's worth of eating, in a similar structure, then you will be well on your way to excellent nutrition and weight loss success.
