How to Eat
2
2. Do not skip any meals, again this can cause you to make bad decisions. Always
prepare. Keep healthy snacks in your bag, desk, car to keep you on track should you be
out longer than expected. Try eating a meal or snack every 2.5-3 hours.
3. Stay hydrated four to six 16 ounces bottles of water a day is mandatory. Your initial
BrittneBabe.com
weight loss is water weight. You need to drink an adequate amount of water to avoid
dehydration. Also the process of burning calories requires an adequate supply of water in
order to function efficiently. Dehydration slows down the fat burning process. Water is
also important for maintaining or gaining weight as it is responsible for keeping your body’s
systems running properly. Water flushes out toxins, and keeps your blood cells healthy
(fights off illness)
4. Juice, filled with sugar. STAY AWAY from it and use only in emergency and no more
than 8 ounces per serving. It can be substituted as a fruit occasionally.
5. Fat, NEVER cook with it. Add it to your meals. Bake, grill, steam and/or stir fry using
nonfat cooking spray only. At minimum, a single serving of fat a day should be consumed
daily. Fat enables you to absorb vitamins and provides an insulation and cover for vital
organs. It is an important part of your diet, if consumed correctly.
6. Practice portion control. You should have a healthy balance of all food groups. Half
of your plate should consist of vegetables. ¼ of your plate protein and ¼ carbs.

7. Protein is extremely important when looking to improve your metabolic rate, curb
hunger and build muscle mass. If you are looking to keep your assets, it is important
that you do not subtract any food group from your diet. The amount of protein you
consume daily will vary based off of your level of activity, height, weight and goals.
--The ideal daily Protein intake for weight loss and weight management is 0.8 –
1.5 grams per pound of body weight. The actual number will be determined
based of your level of activity and goals. More if you are active, less if you are
not. Ex.. If you are a moderately active and weigh 150 lbs you should have
about 150 grams of protein a day.
--The ideal daily Protein intake for weight gain is .64 to .82 per pound of body
weight each day.
There are several apps you can purchase or download to help you calculate
what is best.
8. Get in your Fiber!! Eat Brown not White carbohydrates (2 – 3 small servings a
day), consume several cups of greens and at least 2-3 fruits per day. Fiber
normalizes your bowel movement, lowers cholesterol levels, helps control blood sugar
levels and will keep you fuller longer.
9. Avoid a diet high in sugar, fat or sodium! All three contribute to a number of health
related diseases and will also cause weight gain in all the wrong areas.

Sample Menus
I have included 21 Sample Menus. This is typically how I eat each day
which equates to a 1200- 1500 calorie diet and a healthy balance of all food
groups.
The amount of protein and fats you consume, should be updated based off
your weight, height and fitness goals.
Ex.. if you are looking to gain healthy weight, add an additional 2 fats
to your menu for the day.
