Calories in versus calories out is one of the most important factors of weight loss. But not all calories are the same, you can't lose weight if you only drink Coca-Cola, even if you were 100 calories under maintenance. If only calories would matter then people could lose weight with diets that compose of 100% of carbs, 100% of fat or 100% of lean protein, but it does not work that way. The right combination of protein, carbs and fat is just as important as calories.
Tips for your weight loss food programs
The first part of your weight loss food program is to do your calorie calculations. You have to find out how what is your maintenance level. Then you divide up your daily allotment among the three macronutrients; carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It is very important to find the right ration between these three macronutrients.
If you want to lose weight successfully and permanently, then your diet should not consist of primarily of one food type or one macronutrient type. Having the proper balance between between proteins, carbohydrates and fats is really important. Eating carbohydrates and lean protein together is necessary because if you eat the separately, then the ratios can get very easily out of balance.
The best meal combination is for burning fat is a lean protein, a starchy carbohydrate and a fibrous carbohydrate eaten together at the same meal. This allows you to burn fat effectively but also helps you maintain muscle mass, losing muscle is very bad because muscle burns tons of calories. The less muscle you have the less calories you also burn. Example:
1. Sweet potato (complex carb)
Broccoli (complex fibrous carb)
Chicken breast cutlet (lean protein)
2. Brown Rice (complex carb)
Mixed green salad (complex fibrous carb)
Salmon (lean protein)
Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle
