Nutrition

I am asked about proper nutrition every single day. It's actually got to the point where I almost don't want to be asked anymore. So, without further ado, these are a few of the things I recommend. (I am not a doctor, nor a nutritionist, but I have consulted both of them in my research. Don't take my word for the following nutritional guidelines. Check with your doctor).

You should eat from three groups: Carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Good Carbohydrates:

Brown rice
Sweet potato
All fruits
All vegetables
Yams
Whole-wheat pasta
Brown rice pasta
Soba noodles
Beans
Lentils
Whole wheat bread
Whole grain bread
Whole wheat couscous
Quinoa

Good Proteins:

Lean beef
Poultry
Fish
Beans
Lentils
Legumes
Broccoli
Low-fat cottage cheese
Low-fat yogurt
Eggs

Good Fats:

Avocado
Olive oil
Canola oil
Salmon
Sea bass
Nuts
Nut butters
Tofu

I hope that helps. Now quit bugging me.
