Question

I need something to eat in the mornings before i go and work outdoors all day doing lawncare, what do you recommend

Answer 1

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Answer 2

Eating a diet that stresses protein (poultry and fish are best, unless you are a vegetarian and then soy is very good), low glycemic carbohydrates (look up a glycemic index) and good fat (olive oil for cooking, almonds or peanuts for snacking), will provide good energy. The trick to keeping your energy up is to have a snack between breakfast and lunch that has the same types of items in it (just smaller than breakfast), and again between lunch and quitting time.

Answer 3

Eat some shredded Wheat and a Protein Shake. And Don't forget a good multi-vitamin

Answer 4

if you are lean or just fit and have no extra fat around your body, then butter or any kind of fatty foods give you the most of what you do. each gram of fat has 9 kcal more than 2 times of the same amount of protein and sugar. you need to make sure that your cholestrol (LDL) is not high. If it is you can use cholestrol free fat. so you can simply include oily foods to your usual breakfast to get most of what you need in terms of calorie.

Answer 5

i recommend energy bars like Power Bar or the better tasting Zone Bar. They're high in protein and calories to keep you going

Answer 6

Food nutrition generally makes two distinctions. Macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients.

Macro-nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, protein and alcohol all give calories and hence energy.

Micro-nutrients such as your vitamins, trace minerals like selenium, potassium, zinc, etc... help make a helathy diet, but do not provide calories/energy.

Answer 7

I suggest that you drink a lost energy drink and eat protein

Answer 8

For Energy...raw sugar

Answer 9

carbs are your body main energy source, eat something with a lot of simple carbs for now (fruits, juices, anything with sugar) and complex carbs for later (pasta, rice, veggies, oatmeal)

Answer 10
