A high intake of Protein is a must for anybody.
Protein builds muscle
Muscle burns Fat.

A typical example of foods packed with quality protein are: Turkey/Chicken Breast & Oily Fish such as Salmon/Kipper/Mackeral
Eggs (Free Range and Organic are the Best.

Grains and needed for Fibre and fibre is needed for good digestion.
Carbs are needed for a constant supply of Energy.
Fruit and Veg are needed for a quality supply of Vitamins
Water is essential for a quality supply of Minerals.

For Me a typical day would be

Breakfast.
Scrambled/Poached Eggs (protein)
Wholemeal Bread (Fibre and Carbohydrate)
Water/Orange Juice (vitamins and minerals)

Snacks
Protein Shake (protein)

Lunch
Wholeweat Tortilla (Fibre and Carbohydrate)
Turkey Breast Slices (protein)
Spinich (Vitamins)
Tomatos (Vitamins)
Hellmans Extra Light Mayo (Tasty)
Pint of Water (Minerals)

Answer 5

I think it depends on what your body needs - everyone's different. It's something like 65-75% carbohydrate, 20-30% fats and 15-25% protein... ish.. the 5 portions fruit/veg a day rule is pretty good to stick by, a portion being one piece of average sized fruit or a serving of veg on your dinner plate. Remember that foods claiming to be low fat are often excessively high in sugar!

Answer 6

If you want help in planning healthy eating you could look on line with reference to "Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating." It is a bit of a lecture, but it might reinforce some of the habits you already know and practice.

I eat oats and fruit in the morning

2 hours

a snack like fruit, cereal bar, or a protien shake

2 hours

baked potato/pasta salad/healthy sandwich (Tuna/Chicken/Turkey)

2 hours

Cereal bar or fruit

2 hours

Supper (a good substantial meal of your choice) but a sensible one

2 hours

Protien shake (low carbs before bed)

its more a fitness diet but my fat content has gone in 2 months and ive never been so healthy

this tricks your brain into thinking it doesnt need to conserve food as your eating so regularly, your metabolism works constantly through the day and into the night
