Lets take a second and think about how important our diet is in order to lose body fat. You spend 10% of your hours per week AT BEST working out, so the other 90% of your fat loss plan should be done it the kitchen :).
That being said, here are some easy tips:
*Distinguish Macronutrients (Fat/Proteins/Carbohydrates)
-Protein: A great friend for fat loss. Why? It makes you feel more full than other macronutrients and it will help you recover from your workouts faster. It also takes more energy to digest protein than the other macronutrients. So, in general try to eat 1gram of lean protein per pound of body weight per day.
-Fats & Carbs: Fats get a bad rep, we should be worrying about the quality of fat rather than "how much" fat is in our food. Try to focus on fats from a natural source (Nuts/seeds/fish/eggs/Avocados/natural oils/etc..). Your snacks you consists of a quality fat/lean protein or both. Our main carbohydrate source should come from something high in fiber content such as veggies and fruit. Try to shy away from breads, wheat and eating carbs before bed, which can lead to fat storage.
