Quick-Guide to Proper Nutrition That You Can Use
This is a brief guide to nutrition that explains a little about the importance of protein, carbs, and fat. In addition to that, we have included a calculator to find out what your calorie intakes should be. Read on.
Protein
Protein is the key ingredient to dieting because it acts as a stabilizer for sugars. Protein slows down the process that glucose, sugar, travels into the bloodstream. It rebuilds muscle tissue, supports fat loss for energy, provides calcium, vitamin A, B2, B12, supports the immune system, appetite suppressant, and maintains the growth of hair, nails, and skin. 35% of your calories should come from protein.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are sugars that provide energy, better concentration, and a good source of fiber. 45% of your calories should come from carbohydrates. Fibrous Carbohydrates are fruits and vegetables which are a natural source that is full of nutritional value and should always be included in your daily diet.
Fats
Fats provide essential fatty acids, energy, appetite suppressant; good fats help our bodies release the bad fats. If your daily fat intake is cut back too much, your body will preserve fat for survival rather than release it for energy.
Calories
- Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories
- Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories
- Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories
- Ratio: 45-35-20%
- 3500 calories make up 1 pound of fat
If you cut out 500 calories from your diet, you could save/lose 1 pound a week. If you cut out 1000 calories from your diet, you could save/lose 2 pounds a week. It is not a good idea to be losing more than 2 pounds each week.
(If you have a fast metabolism add 500 calories/ slow metabolism deduct 500 calories)
