The Perfect Nutritional Day

By Jolene Goring

We all know that no one is perfect, but this outline provides the basis of how to use perfect nutrition guidelines throughout the day to keep your body lean, healthy and full of energy. If you follow this plan closely, you will feel and look better than you ever thought possible!

Upon waking (7am):
½ fresh lemon squeezed into a glass of warm water. This stimulates your digestive system and detoxifies the body

7:30am
One serving lean protein (half the size of your palm)
½ cup complex carbohydrates (such as brown rice, yam, oatmeal)
1 tsp 'good' oil (such as flax, olive, coconut, or fish oil)

Example: egg white omelet fried with 1 tsp coconut oil, ½ cup oatmeal with milk

10:30am
One serving lean protein (half the size of your palm)
Green veggies (such as spinach, broccoli, green beans)
½ cup complex carbohydrates (such as brown rice, yam, oatmeal)
1 tsp 'good' oil (such as flax, olive, coconut, or fish oil)
Example: small grilled chicken breast, stir fry with olive oil and broccoli, served on ½ cup brown rice

1:30pm
One serving lean protein (half the size of your palm)
½ cup complex carbohydrates (such as brown rice, yam, oatmeal)
1 tsp 'good' oil (such as flax, olive, coconut, or fish oil)
Example: lean hamburger on a whole wheat bun with olive oil based mayonaise

4:30pm
One serving lean protein (half the size of your palm)
Green veggies (such as spinach, broccoli, green beans)
1 tsp 'good' oil (such as flax, coconut, or fish oil)

Example: grilled salmon filet on a spinach salad with flax oil and vinegar dressing

7:30pm
One serving lean protein (half the size of your palm)
Green veggies (such as spinach, broccoli, green beans)
1 tsp 'good' oil (such as flax, coconut, or fish oil)

Example: tuna and green bean salad with flax oil and vinegar dressing

Before bed:
One serving low carb protein powder. This feeds your muscles as you sleep and prevents you from waking up starving.

The key to this perfect nutritional day is consistency. By eating every 3 hours you never allow yourself to get too hungry, and this makes it easier to avoid overindulging. Embrace this plan, and in no time at all you will look and feel fabulous!
