Nutrition Rules to Live By
By Brent Gallagher

  1. COME BACK TO EARTH: Try to choose the least processed forms of food. Fruits, veggies, whole grains, and high fiber carbohydrates.
  2. EAT A RAINBOW OFTEN: Eat fruits and vegetables with each meal. Choose a wide variety of colors for the biggest benefit.
  3. LESS LEGS THE BETTER: Include a LEAN protein source with each meal.
  4. EAT FATS THAT GIVE SOMETHING BACK: Include healthy fats in your diet like olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocado, fish, and flaxseeds.
  5. EAT BREAKFAST every day!
  6. THREE FOR THREE: Eat smaller portions more often, spread evenly across the day. No excuses – you should be eating 5-6 meals/day. Aim for all three nutrients, every three hours.
  7. STAY HYDRATED (.5-1.0 x body weight = ounces of water per day) by drinking non-caloric beverages (water/green tea).
  8. DON’T WASTE YOUR WORKOUT: Have a post-workout recovery shake or snack immediately after your training.
  9. ADD A MULTIVITAMIN with anti-oxidant complex and fish oil supplement into your daily routine.
  10. SLEEP: Get some rest. The body recovers and repairs best when it is sleeping.
