Diet tips to keep you looking your best

• A portion size is the size of your fist
• If trying to lose or maintain weight, try to eliminate complex carbs after 7pm (breads, rice, beans, pastas, cereals)
• Muscle consists of 75% water and 25% amino acids, so, to build or maintain muscle, consume adequate protein and water
• Try eliminating butter and "bad" fat oils out of your diet...use olive oil and canola oil
• Combine high nutrient dense foods to utilize your meals...for instance (protein shakes w/fruit, peanut butter on a banana, salads w/lots of veggies, eggs w/veggies mixed in, fruit mixed w/yogurt) this way you're getting your recommended nutrients by combining various foods
• Snack through out the day on foods such as: Nuts, fruits, cottage cheese, natural peanut butter, egg whites, tuna, carrots, hummus
