Keep a Log for Success
Keeping a log can be the difference between success and always falling short.
Nutrition Guidelines
I think it's fair to say how each of us views food is very personal and can be very different. Example, do you eat to fuel your body and workouts? Do you eat when you're emotionally high or low? Do you eat just because you're bored or do you eat because you love the way something tastes or how it makes you feel?
Here are the guidelines our instructor team at OBC Gwinnett uses to ensure our campers are on the road to success whatever their goals may be.
Log it!
Log your food, drink and workout each day.
Daily Intake:
* Eat 5-6 meals to keep metabolism high and help you lose fat.
* Drink at least 6-8, 8oz glasses of water per day (more in very hot or humid conditions). Also drink a sports beverage to replace and balance electrolytes.
* Eat lean or very lean protein at each of your 5-6 meals (6-9 oz per day). Portion size should be about the size and thickness of you palm. (Each oz has at least 7 grams of protein, 0-1 gram of fat and 35 calories.)
* Eat complex carbohydrates at 4-5 of your meals. Portion size should be 1/2 cup or half the size of your fist. (One serving has 15 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of protein, 0-1 gram of fat and 80 calories.)
* Eat fruits at 1-3 of your meals. Portion size should be 1/2 -3/4 cup. (One serving has 15 grams of carbohydrates and 60 calories.)
* Eat Veggies at 4-6 of your meals. Portion sizes should be about the size of your palm - or 1/2 cooked or 1 cup raw. (One serving has 5 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of protein, and 25 calories.)
These are very basic guidelines, but ones that can be practiced and perfected throughout a life time. No fad, no special products, no "diet". Real food. Real fuel. Real results! operationbootcamp.com
Operation Boot Camp is a 30 day fitness and nutrition program. We believe fitness and nutrition go hand and hand. Like OBC, there are many programs offering similar nutritional guidelines, however most of us have our own personal beliefs and practices when it comes to nutrition.
