Even good nutrition is not enough! I often hear “we eat really healthy food.” Well, that’s great, but if your goal is to lose fat, you have to eat “really healthy fat loss foods.” To gain muscle, eat “really healthy foods to GAIN MUSCLE”. Even good nutrition is not enough!

What is your biggest meal of the day? Dinner! It is not like this!?!?! If you’re a fat loss devotee and that’s the case, you’re shooting yourself in the foot. Our principles of healthy nutrition say “Eat for what you are about to do, not for what you just did. Think about the next 3 hours.” Think about what you do after dinner? sit on your ass? Go to sleep? Kiss? Dinner should be one of the lightest meals of the day and not THE BIGGEST MEAL OF THE DAY! That’s a socially convenient tradition, not a fat-loss nutrition practice.

The biggest meal of the day should be breakfast, the next lunch and one of your smallest meals should be dinner. It just makes sense that we eat to provide our bodies with energy for what we are going to do. If you know you’re going to be active, eat a little more healthy, nutritious food. If you are less active, eat less. Even if you’ve had the busiest day and really feel like you need to replenish, just eat nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods (lean meats and low-calorie fruits and vegetables).
