for the rest of your life.
And all I'm interested in from a nutrition standpoint is something that's sustainable.
I have what I call a plate method.
And it's just simple because it works for me.
When you have your plate, you just simply look at it as like a clock, right?
And if you just make a 920 on the clock, so one arm goes over to the nine and one of the arms goes over to 20, you're gonna make a line towards 12 o'clock too.
And the largest portion is going to be your fibrous carbohydrates.
So that's the green vegetables, right?
So whether it be broccoli or Brussels sprouts or asparagus, those are the ones that give us a lot of the micronutrients we need.
They're the ones that are generally accepted as more healthy.
And they're also going to provide the fiber that's going to be both
beneficial in terms of its impact on insulin and also just through filling you up, right?
And then I take the next largest portion of that and I devote that towards protein.
And I think it's really important, especially for anybody active, the more active you are, the more you embark on trying to build muscle, you're going to need to have protein in every meal.
So I have that.
And again,
know we're talking cleaner sources of protein but like i i am you'll never find like boiled chicken on my plate i'll have some sort of fish or chicken but they'll it will be it will be cooked in a way that's that's like you know it's got maybe some sauce on it or it's got some maybe it's tomato sauce anything to just make it a little bit more palatable and interesting without blowing the value of the meal and then that last portion is where i put my starchy carbohydrates
And again, that's the part that some people will say exclude them entirely because they're not healthy or they don't work for you or they're not beneficial long-term.
For me, like most people, my body craves those carbohydrates.
I choose things like sweet potatoes, which is my favorite, or I'll have rice or I'll have pasta.
