On several occasions I’ve been asked the following question, “What should I eat to help me achieve my goals? My first response is, what are you looking to accomplish, reducing body of fat, or gaining lean muscle? As you can imagine, I get varied responses based on the demographics. To help shed light of this question, I have provided the cliff notes to the answer.

1) Consume exercise recovery drinks during exercise only.
2) Minimize the intake of simple sugars and highly processed starches.
3) Consume whole-grain and or starchy carbohydrates with 1-2 hours after exercise.
4) Fruits and vegetables should be eaten with each meal. The emphasis placed on vegetables.
5) Lean protein should be eaten with each meal.
