For the month of March our group UBBT project was to track and blog everything that we consumed each day. I definitely have determined a trend in my consumption. I consume about 2,500 calories a day, which is in the target zone for my gender, size, and activity level, however there is a lot of (good) and a lot of (not so good) calories. I have done some research and will actively incorporate the following moving forward.
Much research indicates that a person who trains consistently should consume about 60% of their calories from complex carbohydrates in their natural state. This catgegory includes oatmeal, whole grain cereals, grains, brown rice, potatoes, whole wheat pasta, root vegetables, wholemeal breads, beans, and lentils. I will consume more within this grouping. (the good and improvement)
I will continue consuming protein from lean meats, poultry, and vegetables. (the good)
I will continue consuming dairy from low fat milk, yogurt, and cheese. (the good)
I will control and avoid fats found in fried foods, processed foods, and fast foods. (the not so good)
I will contol simple sugars found in junk foods and pop. (the not so good)
I will keep this simple as it is not complicated.
These very simple changes will have great results!!
