Whether you\u2019re new here or you\u2019ve been here awhile, you’re going to hear me say “eat more” as a solution to 99 problems. \u2063
\u2063
That’s because most of you need more fuel (read: more calories) to get lean and strong. But the \u201ceat more\u201d recommendation could also mean: \u2063
\u2063
>> Eat more protein. you need protein to support and maintain and gain lean muscle mass. More muscle = a higher metabolism and a leaner physique.\u2063
\u2063
>> Eat more whole, real foods. Real food in its least processed form has more vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, and this is what your body uses to run every metabolic function each day!\u2063\u2063
\u2063
>> Eat more carbohydrates. Carbs are \u201cmuscle sparing\u201d meaning when you have enough carbs to use as fuel your body won\u2019t be forced look for alternative sources – like protein from lean muscle tissue after physical activity. \u2063
\u2063
>> Eat more balanced meals. Balanced blood sugar = happy hormones. And hormones rule fat loss. Avoiding dramatic swings in blood sugar better supports healthy hormones production and has better outcomes for fat loss.\u2063
\u2063
>> Eat more throughout the day. Eating every 3-4 hours is great for hormones health and for blood sugar control. It also helps you get in more fuel throughout the day so you don’t need (or want) to overeat because your appetite is out of control.\u2063
\u2063
>> Eat more total calories. I can guess that most of you have been dieting for quite some time (like years and months), but you cannot diet forever. Taking a break from dieting to eat at maintenance is a powerful tool to get leaner and stronger. \u2063
\u2063
So, the next time you hear me say “eat more” think of this post because any of thee bullets could be applicable to you. \u2063
