Calories In vs. Calories Out

I think we are always talking about getting fit, either losing a few pounds, or even getting stronger and exercising.  It really is not just a New Year phenomenon, it is a conversation happening at every moment of every day all around the world.

In America it is beyond because it is big business, everyone is trying to figure out what works for them, trying all the millions of options out there.  Also an important thing I recently noticed is the time frame of our eating.  Yes its good to eat every few hours if you are very active, but if your day starts at 6am and doesn't end until Midnight, that is way too many hours of eating.  General rule is three meals and two snacks, high protein is best with vegetables.  I love fruit too, yes there is sugar, so enjoy it and stop at 4pm.

Here are some facts that may help you figure it out for yourself:

80% Nutrition, 20% Exercise

Calories In vs. Calories Out

Portions are important

Variety and Nutrition are important

Sleep, Water, and Happiness are important


Hope this helps,
