I have had so many questions about how to eat in a healthy fashion that I am posting a sample meal plan which will balance your metabolism, optimize fat burning, and impart greater energy.  This meal plan incorporates dairy, fish, wheat, nuts and poultry, so keep that in mind if you have certain sensitivities or are practicing a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.  Make sure to eat every two to three hours to keep your metabolism whirring throughout the day.  It’s a good idea to pack your meals the night before so they are ready to go the next day.  Keep in mind that this meal plan is not for competitors, but for the average person who either wants to eat healthier and who might want to lose weight.
