If you are trying to build up muscle or burn off the fat and your eating habits are not optimal... this letter is for you. It's the 3 Rules of
Nutrition
.

For starters, I've been receiving a whole lot of emails recently from people who are desperate to
build muscle
quickly or to burn off some fat for an event (wedding comes to mind). These people don't track what they eat and have no idea about what to eat, when to eat or why eating.

Frankly, if you are not following these simple rules, it's not really shocking you aren't getting to where you want.

Nutrition Rule1 ::

Always eat at least 5 times a day. Two or three meals simply isn't enough. Two of the meals can be considered snacks as long as the nutrition ratios are correct as I'm about to describe in Rule 2.

body fat will not be stored but used as energy. By providing yourself with a steady flow of required calories thru the day, your body's need to store it as fat will be reduced. Compared this to when you eat infrequently and your body detects this as a famine situation. At this point, too much of the food you consume is stored as fat.

Nutrition Rule2 ::

In planning each of your daily meals (or snacks), a caloric ratio of approximately 1 part fat, 2 parts protein, and 3 parts carbohydrate is a good place to begin. What you will see in Rule 3 below, is this is just an estimate for average people. You can adjust this to fit your needs.

This rule preaches consuming enough protein to support muscle growth and enough carbohydrates to ensure you have fuel for your workouts and you are able to recovery.

Nutrition Rule3 ::

Ask yourself, "What am I going to be doing in the next hour?" If you won't be active, then lower the amount of carbs you consume; if you will be training, then bump up the carbs you will consume so you'll have the energy to train. Alter your carbohydrate intake depending on your anticipated activities.
