We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of diet tips. Let’s take a look:
Question: soo i’ve started with an diet and it looks like this:
i’m eating plain meat such as …chicken breast , turkey breast fish ( but mostly chicken breast)
vegetable , and egg whites … i combine these things …. i drink alot of water , some coffee and tea ,,, from fruits i eat tangerines and apples……and everyday i eat around approximately 5-8 cookies ( they are small btw
….as a treat) ….
am i doing everything ok? any tips ?
oh and its too cold outside for jogging and stuff…. so im doing 50 pushups and 100 crunches …. any tips for workout in apartment?
thanx for responses in advance
enyoy!

Answer: the chicken/ turkey/ fish is good, vegies- good, egg white- good, but consider the yolk, it will give more protein, water- good, straight black coffee is best- limit your dairy, as a lot of it is fattening, tea- good, but again with the dairy, and watch the amount of sugar you put in, fruits- again good, watch the cookies, as although they are small, eaten in vast quantities can reverse even the strictest of diets!
the workouts good, just maybe get a yoga mat and stretch out your muscles in the morning, do a few more exercises, because doing it in the morning will kick start your metabolism and get it to burn calories faster throughout the day.
hope this helps!
What a great diet tips question:
Question: I had xc practice when i first woke up..(only about 2.5 miles today, with a little bit of strength training.)
then for breakfast, I had an apple, 1 pretty big chicken breast, and a cup of homemade squash/carrot soup..so a total of about 400 calories.
then for lunch, i had a cup of blueberries, an apple, another cup of the soup from this morning, and half a chicken breast…so about 400 calories
then for dinner, i had 7 baby carrots, 1 cup of peas, 1/2 chicken breast, and 4 oz of dannon activia yogurt(70 calories)
what are some changes i should have made today? any suggestions? improvements?
Im female, 5′4”, 16 yrs old. im not overweight, but i’d still like to drop a few lbs to be more fit.
Answer: lol this question’s pretty cute since you have absolutely nothing to worry about everything you ate couldn’t be any more healthy.. i personally haven’t ever struggled with weight in a day i drink about 3mugs of hot chocolate, and i eat yoghurt for snacks.. then i might have like a bowl of noodles and some tuna mayo pasta or something i mean yeah i work out play sport and dance but you also work out so you have nothing to worry about if you were eating like.. butterfingers lol and ben and jerry’s icecream i can totally understand but you’ll easily lose weight or stay in shape with what you’re eating remember to not drop your calorie intake too low
