Burn & Build Body Whole Food Meal and Snack Suggestions

 

The following can help you plan your meals while on a Burn & Build Body program – or if you are just trying to eat a more healthy, nutrient-rich diet.

Each one of these meals can be prepared yourself or ordered in a restaurant (asking for a healthy menu substitution with a smile is rarely turned down) or used as an inspiration to create something similar on your own. Eating a diet abundant in whole, fresh, unrefined and unprocessed foods is a key factor in vibrant health and anti-aging.

The most efficient way to build muscle and burn fat is to feed your body throughout the day. Do this by planning 3 small meals and 2 snacks daily, each separated by approximately 3 hours. This conscious form of eating will keep your body’s metabolism and blood glucose levels at their healthiest and most efficient. The best way to measure a "portion size" is to match the portion of food to the size of your clenched fist.

If you are following the Burn & Build Body Fit Kit Program, the 14-Day Anti-Aging Detox or our Protein Lean Power Food Diet, there will be specific foods and food groups listed in their guides for you to follow.
