Life Performance Blog: 4 Must-Haves in Every Meal

If you use these 4 strategies with every meal, I guarantee you'll have an amazing physical transformation...


 
1. Pay attention to the cooking method


 
The way a meal is cooked determines how many calories, how much-added fat, and the number of nutrients that survive. This simple factor will make or break your weight loss goal.


 
Avoid foods prepared like this:

• Fried and battered
 
• Processed and packaged
 
• Doused with cream sauce
 
• Sauteed
 

Choose foods that are prepared like this:

• Grilled
 
• Roasted
 
• Steamed
 

2. Your meal should be mostly protein
 

The bulk of your calories should be coming from a quality source of protein. With the first guideline in mind, these will be high quality, healthfully prepared.

Good choices of protein include:

• Fish
 
• Chicken
 
• Turkey
 
• Egg
 
• Lean red meat
 

3. Include lots of fibre
 

Fibre is a huge part of eating healthy and being lean. Fibrous foods will ll you up while delivering vitamins and nutrient in low-calorie packages. Fill at least two-thirds of your plate with fibrous vegetables.


 
Try these forms of fibre:

• Salad
 
• Seasonal vegetables
 
• Fruit
 
• Legumes


 
4. Lay off the starches
 

Here's where many well-meaning dieters lose it. The facts are simple, in order to maintain the low-carb, high protein diet required for healthy weight loss, there is no room for starchy foods.
 

 
Starches to Avoid:

• Potatoes
 
• Pasta
 
• Rice and cereal
 
• Bread and crackers
 

For faster results, pair your clean eating with a challenging exercise routine.
