Animal proteins contain almost no fiber, which doesn’t go very far in keeping you feeling full.   Animal proteins negatively effect your ability to burn fat.  When choosing your protein sources, make sure you eat a good portion of your protein from plant sources (soy, beans, legumes, etc.).  You don’t have to be a vegetarian, but I recommend keeping your animal proteins on the low side.

Fats (found in many proteins, nuts, oils, etc.) are important to maintain certain bodily processes like regeneration of the hair, nails, and skin.  There is a lot of confusion with fats out there, some recommending extremely low fat diets and others even recommending a very high fat diet.  If you are focusing on lean protein choices in your meals, and including small amounts of healthy oils, nuts, and seeds in your diet, your fat intake will be in order.

So what quantity of each of these macro nutrients should you be consuming to maximize fat your burning to get that lean fit body you’re after?  One way is to calculate the percentages and count calories.   The easiest way I’ve found is to count portions instead of calories.   It is not only easier to count portions, but it is also easy to continue to do daily.

An easy way to make sure that you get the proper amount of both complex carbs and protein is to eat a portion or two of complex carbs and a portion of protein at each meal. Add as many green vegetables as you can eat, as they’re super low in calories and provide more fiber and enzymes that support digestion.  

Eating plenty of green vegetables will also give you the vitamins and minerals that you need to sustain good health. Remember to focus on nutrient rich foods as this is a natural way to burning fat and getting healthy. And also as a result you will be losing fat fast.

If we want to burn the most fat how many times a day should we be eating?

If you eat three meals a day you will most likely be consuming too many calories in each meal and it will be very difficult to burn fat fast and get a lean body.  The fact is that if you want to get as fat as possible, you should just eat one meal a day.

 The fastest way to weight loss is to eat more frequent meals and in smaller portions throughout the day.  This will fire up your metabolism, as every time you eat something, the metabolism kicks it up a notch. Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day, about every 3 hours.

Now, I know many people don’t want to break their routine of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  You can still eat at those traditional meal times, but try cutting back some on the quantity of food you eat at those meals.   Then add those calories that you cut down on into 2 or 3 snack meals in between.  A snack meal could be a protein or energy bar or maybe even a piece of fruit and a slice of whole grain bread. 

So you see, eating for a lean, strong, and healthy body isn’t so hard…and it doesn’t require you to eliminate essential foods like complex carbohydrates from your diet.  In fact, doing so will put you into the cycle of confusion of fad diets that is all too common in fitness world today.
