February 19 - Fat, Protein & Carbs - Oh My!!!

Everyone knows they should eat a well balanced diet. But with all the talk of low carb diets and eat more protein, it can be confusing to figure out what exactly well balanced is.

Here a general guideline for selecting your foods:
57% Carbs
30% Fats
13% Protein

Now, of course the fats should be good fats (like olive oil, nuts, etc). And the carbs should be from fruits and vegetables as opposed to breads and pastas. And the proteins should be lean.

Try to proportion your plates accordingly. And journal, journal , journal!
