EAT. Eat what you like. Eat a lot, eat a little—eat whatever
is right for you. If you are working out a lot, you need more food to give you
energy. You just have to find the right foods to eat. Eating more doesn’t mean
stuffing your face with a Big Mac or a king-size Whopper. Space out your meals
more, maybe. Or have nutritious snacks that will give you protein and give you
the boost that you need.
Plan your snacks for the day—that way you know just how much
you are consuming, rather than blindly reaching into the seemingly endless
Dorito bag. It’s ok to give into those greasy cravings every once in a while,
but in small portions. Every now and then, I just really want a handful of
Cheetos.
In the moment it can get easy to get carried away. A handful can turn
into another, and another, and all of the sudden you’ve chowed down half the
bag—ok, I can’t say that has actually happened to me, but you really can get
carried away quickly. Planning your snacks can prevent that type of behavior.
If you’re worried about putting on weight or you really just want to be
healthy, your two biggest enemies are large portions and laziness.
If you want to be fit, you have to put work in. It’s not
always fun, but when you are truly being healthy you will feel it. There’s
nothing like it. Large portions of those greasy foods you crave will make you
feel bloated and gross. They can cause breakouts and leave you feeling crummy.
Plus, you won’t be left with that post-pig out guilt with smaller snacks.
I also wanted to include this smoothie chart, because there are so many different occasions for these sweet, nutritious treats. They are super refreshing, and they take less than five minutes to make.
