Here is the quick but NOT exhaustive list of basic nutrition that you asked for last week:
1. Eat naturally.
It doesn't matter as much what you eat as where it came from and whether or not the ingredients list is smaller than your thumb and does NOT contain the words: "enriched" "bleached" "white" or "corn syrup".
2. Drink water and lots of it.
Get your calcium from plain greek yogurt instead of milk. Most of the sugar is drained out of the yogurt. Watch out foe flavored yogurt though.
Its called a beer belly for a reason and its more than the calories in beer. Stay away from alcoholic beverages for the sake of your abs!
Pop (or soda for you crazy confused people) is basically the devil himself.
3. Eat a lot but not all at once.
Total consumption is not as important as timing. Eat frequently (every 2-3 hours) and eat till full each time, but no need to go hog-wild.
Make sure to get around 20 grams of protein every few hours no matter what your goals are. 20 grams is about as much as the body and break down at one time (unless its fast digesting like whey).
4. Don't avoid fats.
Eat good ones though such as olive oil and cocoanut oil. Eggs also have good fats.
5. Take a multivitamin.
No one gets all the nutrients they need.
