Tidbits...

So heard this the other day about how crappy americans eat and thought it was good
"1/4 of everything you eat helps your body...and 3/4 of what you eat helps your doctor's business"

So here are some Simple Rules to help prove that wrong! (copied from BodyLogic website - my new HTR office)
The rules are simple, in fact, they may sound like something your grandmother might have told you.
Eat five portion controlled meals a day. So in addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, have a snack between lunch and dinner, and a small snack before bed.
During your meals, your plate should be 1/3 protein (white meat: chicken, turkey, fish, soy, eggs, and lean pork) and 2/3 colored vegetables (any vegetable that is colored, not white, all the way through). Add a sprinkle of olive oil, canola oil, or almonds for your fat.
Avoid sugar and sweet snacks. If it says “low fat” or “instant” on the package, put it back.
Eat all your vegetables and two hard fruits (if it crunches when you eat it, it’s GOOD FOR YOU!) every day.
Have a tablespoon of cod liver oil (fish oil) every day.
Drink lots of water.
