Nutrition Tip of the Day

"Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper."

This quote, from Michael Pollan's Food Rules, is one of my favorite nutrition tips. For improved health and body composition, front load your day so that you are eating more in the morning and less in the evening (when your body does not need as much energy). Eating a bigger breakfast will increase your energy levels throughout the day and keep you satisfied and less likely to overeat at later meals.

It is important to note that this rule would not necessarily apply to athletes requiring a high energy intake, or for those who train later in the day.
