nutrition How many meals do you eat a day? The answer should be at least 3. That’s right, at least. Personally, I shoot for 5 small meals each day. Your body needs to continually refuel itself, and that means putting food in your mouth. Don’t be afraid of food. Love food. Indulge. Just be conscious about it and have moderation. Your nutrition is a huge factor to your quality of life, so start making better choices in what you eat.

If you are hungry, shoot for the fruit and healthy snacks. The healthy snacks are those that have never been packaged with an ingredient list longer than your makeup ingredient list. Apples, carrots, peaches, strawberries, almonds, and cashews are amazing snacks that fill you up.

Take a multivitamin as an insurance plan. It’s pretty likely that even though you try your best to eat healthy, you may not be getting all that recommended vitamins and minerals that your body needs.

Start tracking what you eat, and you will be surprised at what you are putting into your body. By writing them down, you become more aware of your consumption. Try FitDay for free food journal tracking. It takes some initial time to set-up and input specific foods, but once you get started, it’s easy to keep track of your food, caloric intake, and fitness activities.

Nutrition is about conscious choices, not deprivation. Eat sensibly, and allow yourself treats about twice a week. It can be a small slice of cheesecake or an ice cream night out. Keep in mind: deprivation leads to failure, and it’s all about establishing good lifestyle habits. Take a bite towards better health today.
