Helping career-driven professionals reach their physical and mental peak the sustainable way.
How to Get Started with Nutrition You make progress usually by following steps. Not jumping right into a complete change but by changing things, one at a time. If I were struggling with weight loss and needed to make a change to my way of eating, here are the steps I’d take. 1️⃣ Drink a gallon of water a day, replacing all sodas, beers, energy drinks, etc. In other words, no liquid calories. If it’s hard to get rid of the sweet cravings, a diet soda here and there might help. 2️⃣ Start eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2 snacks. Stop eating 3 hours before bed. 3️⃣ Now that I’d have a schedule I would next construct balanced meals. ⅓ protein ⅓ fiber. ⅓ starches. Examples: breakfast: veggie omelet with sweet potato, lunch: steak salad with whole-grain bread, dinner: salmon, asparagus, and rice. 4️⃣ Now I’d start measuring amounts in grams with a kitchen scale and inputting what I eat to an app called Chronometer. I’d follow the calorie and macro targets the app gives based on my goal and adhere to them by seeing how I fill those requirements. 5️⃣ Now I’d start to pay more attention to micronutrients. In Chronometer, I’d check that the foods that I eat also give me my daily RDAs of the macronutrients I need. For instance if I am getting enough vitamin A, vitamin K, or potassium. If I don’t I’d read suggestions from the app on what foods to add. 6️⃣ Now I might mess around with supplements based on if I lack anything most times in terms of macro or micronutrients. I’d also start taking creatine monohydrate to boost my performance, recovery, and muscle growth. Was this helpful?
