Page 9 - The Skinny On Your Diet Plan

Here’s a quick rundown of what this guide covers:

#1 What is Food?

Seems like a dumb question with an obvious answer. Stuff we eat that fuels

our body. Right?

Well, that is certainly one way to think about it. Food does indeed contain
energy. Food also contains micronutrients, phytochemicals, zoochemicals,

fiber, water, and perhaps even organic molecules that we haven’t yet
discovered.

#2 Calories

Energy balance pretty much determines whether weight will be gained or
lost. Sadly, this is one of the most frequently ignored pieces of the puzzle.

This book will give guidelines on:

• How to understand what your goals are;
• How to calculate energy balance for weight loss or gain; performance,

recomposition, or for whatever those goals may be;

• How to adjust for activity;
• How to adjust calorie intake if things don’t proceed as planned.

#3 Macronutrients

You may have heard it said that while energy balance determines whether
weight is gained or lost, macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fat)

determine whether that change is fat or muscle mass.
Though that is an oversimplification, macros play an important role and

need consideration. Simply put, get them right and you’ll reach your

physique and performance goals quicker and more painlessly than if you
ignore them.
