How can I improve my diet?!
Question: How can I improve my diet!?
Hey - thanks for reading!.
I'm 20, weigh 85kg, and am about 5"11!. Toned everywhere except my arms pretty much!. Anyway, this is what I intake daily!. (Keep in mind I do 10minute crunch workouts aswell as bike riding or Walking everyday for atleast an hour aswell as sport on the weekend!.) Every uni day I generally eat
- Oats + yoghurt for breakfast, not a huge portion just enough to make me feel full!.
- Lunch I generally have a Chicken Lettuce Mayo Cheese Tomato roll accompanied by a gatorade, the chicken is cooked over hot ashes at the local shop, and not fried!.
- Dinner I generally have whatever my mother makes me which is healthy, with lots of veggies!.
I drink water throughout the day!. Any input on how I can improve my routine would be nice!. Thanks!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Avoid creamy sauces and stick to tomato sauce or olive oil and herbs!.
Dinner: Make sure you eat lightly and about 3 hours before bed!. Soup, salad, grilled chicken, turkey, salmon accompanied by fresh vegetables !.
VERY IMPORTANT : add a couple of snacks in between meals to keep your metabolism working at full speed!. Granola bars, fresh fruit, organic peanut butter on whole wheat bread!.!.!. So many healthy and nice possibilities!.

Perhaps you could replace the Gatorade with orange juice or some other fruit juice or mineral water!. Gatorade contains mineral salts but unfortunately it is loaded with sucrose (table sugar) and that is bad for you!.

here is what my dietician suggests !. follow a practical diet!. start your
meal with a soup or a huge salad!. this fills u up!. Make sure your plate has
this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent carb!.remember potatoes, corn and
peas come in carbs category, 25 per cent protein!.this will prevent
cravings too!.have a protein shake if you like too!.an occassional treat is OK!.
have a snack every three hours!. fruit ideally berries, or soy nuts!. just 2
tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs!. switch from white rice and bread to
brown!. eat 900gms of veggies a day!.Lose a kilo a week!. that is permanent
loss!. pick an exercise regime you like!.

I'm no expert but you sound headed the right way!.
Just make sure your sandwiches aren't fatty!. Also include legumes, eggs and milk or more yogurt to ensure that you get enough protein and calcium!.
You need to have fruits as well!. Good that you're having lots of veggies, I hope you are having a good variety of them - at least 3 or 4 kinds of vegetables and include 3 or 4 types of fruits in your diet everyday!.
Recommended vegetables : Spinach, tomatoes, brocolli, carrots!.
Recommended fruits : Apples and citrus fruits!.Pomegranates and strawberries/blueberries!.
It would be good if you use olive oil for your cooking!. They contain healthy omega acids!.
Also have nuts- but a limited quantity!.(since they have high fat levels) Almonds and walnuts are good!.
Other veggies and fruits are good too, but these are a short list of some with high content of vitamins!.
Best of Luck!.
