Nutrition Basics for New Fitness Disciples

This article focuses on basic nutrition for those who go into a fitness / weight training program. Today I will talk about the three main sources of calories for humans. Proteins, carbohydrates and fat. Protein is of utmost importance for those trying to improve their bodies. The eating plan for a person trying to improve their physique, should have a diet that if foundation is protein. This is what we called the skeleton of a proper eating program. The skeleton of a proper eating program is all Protein Foods eating plan will contain. The most commonly used Protein Foods will be meat, fish, poultry, protein supplements, eggs and dairy based protein foods such as cottage cheese. Below, I plotted out for you a skeleton of a typical dining program for a personal training client.

1st) When you wake, 3 eggs 3 egg whites with additional 2nd), 3 hours later, 8 ounce of grilled tilapia 3rd) 3 hours later, 8 ounce of grilled tilapia 4.) 3 hours later, 8 ounce of cooked ground sirloin 5.) 3 hours later, Muscle Milk protein supplement 6.) 2 hours later, 1 cup small curd cottage cheese

As of right now the basis for a proper diet plan is that protein foods are completed. All that is needed is to add carbohydrate foods to eat program. The level of carbohydrate intake should be tailored to the client's personal training goals. For example, a thin high school kid wanting to gain weight for football would eat a plentitude of carbohydrates. Let us take a look at how an eating program for such a person might look like. What we will do is take the skeleton eating program and add to it.

1st) When you wake, 3 eggs with 3 egg whites further, 4 slices of toast with jam 2nd), 3 hours later, 8 ounce of grilled tilapia, 1 cup white rice 3.) 3 hours later, 8 ounce of grilled tilapia, 1 cup white rice 4.) 3 hours later, 8 ounce ground sirloin on a bun with ketchup 5.) 3 hours later, Muscle Milk protein supplement 6.) 2 hours later, 1 cup small curd cottage cheese with 1 cup chopped pineapple .

Now we will look at a more typical scenario for our personal training clients. Nine out of ten people who come to us for training seems to lose weight and become more toned and fit. , I would use exactly the same skeleton eating plan as we did in the other example, but this eating plan will be very different in carbohydrate department. Healthy carbohydrate foods are grains, rice, potatoes, whole grain bread and fruit

1st) When you wake, 3 eggs with 3 egg whites further, 2 slices of dry rye toast 2nd), 3 hours later, 8 ounce of grilled tilapia, steamed 1 cup veggies 3rd) 3 hours later, 8 ounce of grilled tilapia , 1 cup steamed veggies 4.) 3 hours later, 8 ounce of cooked ground sirloin, 1 large green salad, w vinegarette 5.) 3 hours later, Muscle Milk protein supplement. 1 grapefruit 6.) 2 hours later, 1 cup small curd cottage cheese.

When constructing eating plans for weight loss, you can see that the order of the day is drastic reduction in carbohydrate consumption. No matter what kind of food program, I design, I never knowingly add fat calories. Sufficient fat consumption is achieved with the fat that is present in protein sources.
