"Excellence in Personal Training"

While I do not often recommend counting calories, I do recommend paying attention to the types of calories that you eat. There are three main sources of calories: carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Carbohydrates include grains, vegetables and fruits. Protein sources include meats, fish, poultry, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds and legumes. Fats in foods like avocado, olives and salmon are considered healthful, while fats in things like fried foods and full-fat dairy products (e.g. sour cream) are not. Just as in the last Fit Tip, the key here is balance; not balancing calorie consumption with expenditure, but rather balancing the sources of calories. The ideal plan is to eat food from each source of calories at every meal and snack.
