This is a topic that we, as health professionals, get asked about ALL THE TIME.
Which is totally fine. BUT, I will say first and foremost, that "it depends".
It is my hope that anyone else you ask this to says the same thing before elaborating.
Because, we each have different goals & levels of activity.
I never what to give guidance without being able to completely guide you.
So, please use this as a starting point for guidance but keep in mind that there is more to it and, *shameless plug*, a coach will most definitely be able to help you reach your goals quicker and smoother.
3 things to keep in mind as you read on:
The goal is to eat as many whole, minimally processed foods as we can.
Be mindful of how we are eating, and staying in alignment with our health & nutritional goals.
There are no good/bad foods. Just food choices that get us closer to our goals or keep us further from them.
(*The portion references are for women. Men = 6-8 servings of each.)
HOW MUCH TO EAT:
A great rule of thumb, (no pun intended), is to use your hand for portion reference. The great thing is that, we have our hand with us all the time and its custom to our size.
WHAT TO EAT:
These lists are a great starting point to help you become aware of whats better for your body and whats not great for it. Again, there is no "good/ bad" food, but there are choices that we can make that are more aligned with our goals. Being aware helps us to make our choices intentionally.
Pursue your Best,
