Alot of us train for sports or jobs, but it seems like we don't pay attention to our diets. We're in a rush, so we grab McDonalds or what have you every now and then. I'm a firm believer in GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) when it comes to diet -- especially if you're part of the late 20's to early 30's crowd.
One's nutrition can affect their overall health and performance in a lot of ways, so it makes sense to eat as healthy as possible.
I'm starting with the food pyramid, created by the US Department of Agriculture as a guide for healthy eating in an attempt to critque and improve my own diet.
For breakfast this morning, I ate 3 eggs (from the no-cholesterol, egg product carton), approximately 1.5 cups Kashi cereal with 2 cups, 1% milk and an orange.
I'm drinking a glass of water.
For lunch, I ate a souvlaki sandwhich (grilled lamb w/ tahini? sauce, onions in a pita bread wrap) and a huge plate of tabouli (garlic, tomato, parsley, onion and oil). I drank an iced tea with one packet of splenda.
I worked out (interval work) and ate an orange and an apple afterwards. A friend of mine made me a cheeseburger.
