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

I get protein out of my meals the most because my diet consists of meat and dairy product. I also eat vegetables and fruits. This is where I get my carbohydrates from. However, I do not eat a lot vegetables and fruits most of the time.

I tend to eat foods high in carbs and protein. I try to keep my fat intake to a minimum whenever I can.

I tend to eat more carbs and protein than anything else. i typically eat one meal per day that is based on carbohydrates such as toast at breakfast or a sandwich at lunch. Protein usually is consumed at dinner or breakfast with yogurt or milk. one thing that i lack is the consumption of vegetable oil fats as i rarely have nuts or seeds.

I like to eat carbs and protein and keep the fat to a low. In the moring i usually take in carbs by eating toast or cereal. At dinner i usually eat my meats and vegetables, and at lunch is where i also eat meats and fruit. Throughout the day i intake fat but usually try to keep it low, such as in snackfoods.

i eat as little fat as possible and much protien to build muscle along with carbs for energy and other foods for a balanced diet. In the morning i like to eat my carbohidrates to give my body energy throughout the day like a granola bar or cerial. At lunch i eat meats for protien and other foods like chips and fruits. at dinenr i eat meats and fish for protien and my vegtables and sometimes dairy like milk and cheese. I intake more crabohidrates then anything wich is ok but i should work on eating less carbs and more protien.

Thanks to my parents I tend to eat a well balanced diet, but usually as far as snacks go, they are usually fats, all my meals balance out mainly proteins and carbs, fat's are not focused on too much in my diet.

ReplyDeleteI tend to eat mostly protein and fats. I usually eat meat during lunch and dinner and i eat eggs for breakfast a lot which gives me a lot of protein. I also drink a lot of milk which gives me fats. I dont really injest that many carbohydrates though.
