Your Body Type, Your Diet Plan

 The healthy eating plan I have listed below has a high calorie count for those who are exercising and need to lose weight.

A frame 

To lose inches you must watch your fat intake. Your body can store fat easy but it takes a lot more energy to store carbs and protein, because of this, you're more likely to burn those calories off. A diet rich in complex carbohydrates, such as whole-grain cereals, lentils and beans; lean protein, such as chicken or fish; and fruits and veggies will help melt off excess pounds.

                                     

1,500 calories: 750 calories from carbohydrates, 375 calories from fat, 375 calories from protein


Meal Idea (this is what a day could look like)
Breakfast
1 serving of home made oat meal.
Not instant oatmeal. (instant will have sugar already in it and you want to add your own honey or sugar to watch your intake)
1 medium banana
Snack
6 wheat crackers
1 mozzarella cheese stick


Lunch
Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread or flax seed bread with 1 teaspoon light safflower mayonnaise, 2 ounces lean deli roast beef, 1 slice reduced-fat cheese, lettuce and tomato
5 baby carrots
10 celery sticks
1/2 cup grapes


Snack
1 cup coconut yogurt or light yogurt with 1 cup blueberries


Dinner
4 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, grilled and topped with a salsa made of 1/2 cup black beans and 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup steamed green beans
1 cup mixed green salad and 2 tablespoons shredded low-fat cheese tossed with 1 tablespoon low-fat dressing
1 whole wheat roll


Dessert
1 almond milk chocolate pudding cup or low fat organic chocolate pudding cup.


Oval frame


Your plan will be high in healthy fats and lower in carbs. Heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, found in nuts, avocados, and olive oil, has been shown to decrease inflammation, which has been linked to disease, while increasing your body's ability to burn fat. Carbohydrates, even the whole-grain kind, raise insulin levels in the body.

All Other Shapes

This plan is about eating for health. You will do well on a diet that incorporates healthy fats, which may decrease the risk of cardiovascular problems. I recommends eating fish, olive oil, nuts, lean protein, and complex carbohydrates, such as fruits, veggies, and beans.
