The Basics


First and foremost, you are what you eat. If you want to change how you look, your diet is where you start. Start writing what you eat down. Start simple so that you dont get frustrated when you forget to log a meal or forget to bring your notebook with you. At the very least write down the calories and protein content of each meal. You've heard it time and time again, protein is important! It really does make all the difference! Trust me, i tried to get around that myself. Taking extremely detailed notes for weeks i can honestly say 1.25 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight is best. So if you weigh 175lbs you should consume 219 grams of protein. That is a lot of protein, and it can be hard to get that much in 6 or 7 meals while keeping calories low. Just take a little time and start thinking of food combo's you like. Now how can you make them better?
