Nutrition Guidelines

Let me start by saying that I am by no means prescribing meal plans, I am not suggesting diet changes or promoting diet fads. I believe in one principle "Eat a variety of nutrient dense food, everything in moderation and manage caloric intake". The rest is for you and your medical professional to decide on - together.

Daily caloric intake varies from person to person.

Typically, women consume from 1600 - 2400 calories per day while me consume between 2000 - 3000 calories per day. This can be adjusted from person to person depending on health concerns or goals related to exercise and health.

On average, the healthy adult should include the following percentages of each nutrient in their diet per day:

Carbohydrates 45 - 65% of daily intake

Proteins 10 - 35% of daily intake

Fats < 20 - 35% of daily intake

Healthy carbs: Sweet potatoes, Chickpeas, Barley & Quinoa

Healthy proteins: Eggs, Almonds, Cottage Cheese, Beans & White Fish

Healthy fats: Avocados, Nut Butters, Olives, Canola Oil & Olive oil

*monounsaturated fats are the good ones

I am not a certified or licensed nutritionist. Please consult with your medical professional if you have any concerns. I am only here to be a guide by using the knowledge that I have been provided with based on experience and three nutrition courses. Guidelines are the only recommendations that I comfortably give.
