Diet Fitness

Diet fitness is no simple matter. Especially in today’s hurried world. One thing is certain though, fast foods do not fit into the equation. Some fast food chains have a good salad that offers low fat salad dressing and a crisp tasty salad. If you manage to limit your meal to this, you will no doubt maintain your diet and keep you weight loss on track. It is most tempting however to add that shake to your meal or go ahead and pick up some fries with your salad.

The USDA’s diet fitness plan calls for 2-3 servings per day of meat or poultry, 2-4 servings of fruit, 6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice or pasta, 2-3 servings of milk or cheese and 3-5 servings of vegetables. Most people think this is a difficult plan to achieve. If you stop to consider portion size however, it is easier to follow. One banana for instance is two fruits. That means one medium sized banana. One banana is an easy thing to pack in your lunch sack, can be eaten while traveling or at your desk and is nutritional providing potassium and other nutrients healthy in any diet plan.

Most people do not realize that a serving of meat means one single ounce. So a 3 ounce pork chop or grilled chicken breast is all that is required for the day. Eating sausage at breakfast, hamburgers at lunch and then the pork chop too for supper is way more than what would be considered diet fitness. A single slice of cheese on that hamburger is also one serving of protein.

So use a little self control to limit those portion sizes and follow the balanced diet fitness plan according to USDA guidelines, and you will find your health improves as well as your energy and stamina.
