Food Is Fuel
How I Structure My Meals Every Day
I focus on balance and variety to make sure my body gets what it needs:
- Protein: Builds muscle and keeps me full (chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, or tofu).
- Healthy Fats: Support brain function and hormones (avocado, olive oil, nuts).
- Carbohydrates: Provide energy for workouts and daily activity (rice, potatoes, whole grains, veggies).
- Micronutrients: Found in colorful fruits and vegetables that nourish every cell.
Each of the recipes below follows this structure—balanced, satisfying, and simple to make.
