Everything that you eat falls into one or more of three macro nutrients. They are Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins. All three are essential for maintaining health and focusing on both the quantity and quality of these macro nutrients will improve your overall health as well as your performance gains in this class.
The basic sources of carbohydrates are:
•Raw or lightly cooked vegetables
•Most whole fresh or frozen fruits
•Whole grains, breads, pasta, cereal and anything processed that comes in a box or bag and can sit in your pantry for months without going bad.(cheeze-its, lucky charms, chips, etc.)
The basic Sources of Fats in the diet are:
- Dairy - Milk, Cheese, yogurt
- Nuts, Seeds & Oils - Vegetable oils
- The basic sources of protein in the diet are:
Meats - Beef, fowl, fish, pork
- Dairy - Milk, Cheese, Yogurt
- Eggs
- Beans
- Nuts and Seeds
For this weeks blog, take a look at your current eating habits and see if you can see any trends in you current eating based on macro nutrients. For example, do you eat more carbs than anything else, do you eat more protein, do you eat any fat? We will discuss quantity and quality of macro nutrients in our next blog. For this post I just want you to examine your current eating.
Mostly carbs (bread, cereals, grains), then protein (red meat, nuts, fish), and lastly fats (fast food and processed goods).

I think I have a very balanced diet: I eat a lot of carbs like pasta and oatmeal. My fat consists of whole milk that I drink to gain weight, and flax seed oil. Im on a no cheese diet and also try to cut down on junk food. For protein, I eat alot of meat in my sandwiches for lunch and take protein post workout and casien before bed.
