A big thing a lot of people succeed in neglecting during a workout program is how much you should actually eat. When you're exercising your body is going to be using a lot of energy, so you need to replace what you've used. If you don't replace that, you've got a bit of a problem. Like I've said in past posts, your body will start burning muscle instead of fat, or calories that you take in.
You need calories to burn when you exercise, take that picture of apple blueberry pie for example. It tastes really good and is a nice treat once in a while, and provides a butt load of energy and tastes really good at the same time. I verify this information from personal experience.
Now if you're going to work out, you should also enjoy your food. Like those nasty juices and smoothies that people choke down for more, "performance energy" and more, "muscle power", yeah, I don't like that. It's my personal opinion though. If you don't see anything wrong with trying to hold your lunch down while your over at the squat rack, that's your business, not mine.
There are foods that a lot of us don't like but we have to eat if we want those essential vitamins. I have my certain foods that make me want to beat my uncles '51 GMC pick up with bat just like any other person. I could go on about foods I hate, but I'm talking about how much you should.
People are always talking about how they need to get those, "six pack abs!" (Yeah? Well I have an eight pack! :)~) Anyways, if you want your stomach to get flatter, you need to eat breakfast, and a lot of it. A cup of yogurt, and a little granola or toast, no, that won't do it. You need food that is going to sustain you in your morning activities with good energy to last all day long, not right until you can't bear being hungry any more right around lunch.
I come in contact with a fair deal of people who talk about how, they can't get strong! Or, they can't get skinny! And when they tell me they don't eat breakfast, or they don't eat much, the entire problem can be solved by simply, eating breakfast. I emphasize on this a lot, because every bit of it is true! If you disagree with me, I recommend you read up on it because every professional who studies these kind of things for a living is going to say, "BREAKFAST IS GOOD FOR YOU!!!"
A good breakfast will also speed up your metabolism. Making you burn your food better and get more energy out of it.
Breakfast should be a large meal as I have just stated. It should consist of foods that are rich in good carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and a fair source of salts.
Lunch should be a medium sized meal, consisting of nutritious foods as well, and if your starving from strenuous work, don't be afraid to have the occasional large lunch.
Dinner, shouldn't be all too much food, because apparently for some people too much food can make sleeping a butt for them. It's also healthier since a lot of people form the habit of a large dinner and a small or no breakfast and talk about how losing weight or keeping off the extra inches is so hard.
Read up on this, it's important you know your dieting and meal facts, the right diet can make you strong healthy and full of energy, the wrong diet will leave you not as strong and not as energetic. Stay healthy in the right way and you'll be good for a long time.
