I try to stick to 40/40/10. That is, 40% protein, 40% carbs, 10% fat. I eat about 5 small meals a day about 3.5 hours between.
Usual protein is eggs, chicken, sometimes pork/beef, and supplemented with whey. Carbs are usually multi-grain breads, brown rice, or sweet potatoes. Fats usually nuts and cheeses. I'll throw green veggies into a few of my daily meals. I avoid all refined foods and sugars.
I try to stick to that breakdown about 90% of the week. I'm not super strict as I do enjoy unhealthy food (McDonald's, Kettle chips, mmm) every so often.
I have one basic rule: Everything in moderation. Any time I eat a meal of shitty/unhealthy food, I usually ensure the rest of my day's meals have reduced carb and fat content.
Being healthy is really easy, it's developing the habit that is hard. I've been doing this for 10+ years so it's normal to me now.
- cgh 9y agoWhat's the other 10%?
- JCDenton2052 9y agoIf I remember rightly there was a study about ten years ago that showed that multiple small meals throughout the day provided the same benefits as three meals.
