Do you know how to eat intelligently ?

We all know that just training alone is not enough, although is important and necessary. Proper nutrition represents the determining factor and most of the times is the cause of failure. To eat intelligently means to actually know what you are eating and why without making any sacrifices when it comes to food types that we like, but making sacrifices on how much and when to eat what we like. Here are a few guidelines regarding a proper nutrition either you want to lose weight, gain weight or just maintain your current weight.

Calories Necessary per day

To calculate an approximate number of calories we need every day use the formula below, which by the way is a valid formula used by people all over the world:

G – your weight in lb

Calories needed to lose weight:

G x 12 = Total number of calories each day

Calories needed to maintain you weight:

G x 15 = Total number of calories each day

Calories needed to gain weight:

G x 15 = Total number of calories each day

Example: 200lbs x 15 = 3000 kcal . This is the daily calories amount to be able to maintain your weight.

Of course the number of calories should be adjusted to your lifestyle. But the most important rule is from what type of food you get these calories.

How should I divide my daily proteins, carbohydrates and fat

It is often recommended to use the 30/50/20 rule which means that your daily total of calories should be divided like this:

- 30% Proteins

- 50/ Carbs

- 20% Fat

To be able to calculate correctly how much proteins, fat and carbs are necessary each day you need to know the following:

1 gram of proteins is equal to 4 calories

1 gram of carbs is equal to 4 calories

1 gram of fat is equal to 9 calories

Advice: Total number of calories should be divided between 4-6 meals throughout the day.

Note: The human body cannot process and absorb more than 7-800 calories in one meal. Thus it is recommend to divide the total number of calories per day in 4 to 6 meals.

If you will keep in mind and put to practice these general simple advices you will definitely get good results.

Good luck.

Hello Friends,

Eating healthy is quite a bit different in Chinese medicine. The Chinese studied human diet for thousands of years. Food is both therapeutic and enjoyable. And not all foods are suitable for everyone, given a certain dis-eased condition. You can make intelligent choices and eat simply but well to satisfy both appetite and mental clarity

Thanks and Regards,
