THE WARRIOR 3’s OF HEALTHY EATING

PROTEIN
Ideally, every meal to contain approximately 21 grams of protein (women), 27 g (men). Protein builds muscles and stabilizes your blood sugar for consistent energy. Snacks 10-15 g of protein, twice daily.
CARBOHYDRATE
Carbohydrates are essential for optional brain function. Approximately 9 g of healthy carbohydrates from mainly HEALTHY carbohydrates and vegetables at each meal. Minimal fruit is recommended. No more than 1 piece of fruit per day.
HEALTHY FATS
Healthy fats are a MUST to be included regularly throughout the day. Controlled in portions they are essential to curbing our appetite, fueling our bodies and stabilizing our blood sugar.
