Watch What You Eat
It’s true — you can have too much of a good thing! We ask you to eat more healthy fats, like nuts and olive oil, but TOO MUCH of these foods can cause you to get off-track with your health and fitness goals, especially if you’re trying to slim down in the mid-section. Here are some tips to keep in mind when you dine:
1) We’ve all heard that portions should be no bigger than the size of your stomach, which is about the size of your fist. But did you know that 3 ounces of lean meat is equivalent to a deck of cards? The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has a useful serving-size cheat sheet that you can print and carry with you if you’re trying to get a better handle on the amount of food you eat.
2) If you tend to overeat, it is VERY important that you stick to eating three meals a day. Make sure your meals are packed with protein to fill you up. If you tend to overeat, snacking throughout the day equals disaster.
3) There are some great iPhone/Android apps that are very useful in helping maintain your weight, or lose or gain weight. You enter in your food items and water intake for each meal/day, and it tells you how many calories you have left for the day, and even whether or not you’re eating too many bad fats. A good one we found is called My Net Diary.
