Here's some thoughts on what to eat:
Foods and Drink
Lots of: protein, vegetables, water
Some: fruits, fish, chicken, red meats
Very Few: sweets, deserts, chocolate
Avoid: fatty foods, carbohydrates, alcohol (especially beer!)
When eating snacks, replace fat-free carbohydrate snacks with protein
foods like chicken breast strips
Foods to Avoid For Fat Loss
The following are foods to avoid if you want to lose fat. They are
apparently major carbohydrate-type foods that are either high in fat, or
get converted to fat in the body. Keep in mind that your diet should
include at least 20% carbohydrates. So, while you should avoid them,
you will need to eat some anyways:
Breads & Bagels
Pasta
Fat-free Crackers/Coockies
Granola
Tofu
Cheese
Eating Schedule
I've read that what you ingest within 45 minutes after working out is
very important.Apparently,imimediately after workouts isthe best time
drink your high-protein shake or eat high-protein foods. In the schedule
below, the snack or lunch portions are usually high protein cause I
generally work out in the middle of the day.
I eat 5 to 6 times per day (I eat smaller portions per meal, but I'm not
hungry!)
Good breakfast
Snack
Good lunch
Snack
Small dinner
Snack
Liquids
Lots of water (8 to 12 cups a day)
Low fat or skim milk
Little to no soda
