FLESH OR PASTA WITH VEGGIES

This is the crux of smart fueling - protein (usually flesh meat) is combined with good clean fresh vegetables and simple seasonings that don't add sugar and fake components. Or a simple carb like rice pasta with veggies. Pretty much that's it in a nutshell; everything else is just variations on the theme.

BEEF, BUFFALO, FISH, CHICKEN, TURKEY, OSTRICH

Once a week I'll add in some high protein pasta (no glutein wheat or rice variety) with pesto and steamed vegetables or a great organic sauce (NONE of that parmesan cheese in a shaker, too many preservatives).

Lots of pro bodybuilders eat lots of rice. They need it because they burn so many calories in a concentrated period of time. It works for them, not for the average 9-to-5 worker.

In essence, sprouting turns grains into vegetables.

Manage the judicious use of grain products contingent upon actual physical, sweat producing activities. ALWAYS opt for SPROUTED GRAIN PRODUCTS (bread, bagels, tortilla shells, pasta). They are not made from typical speed-milled flours and quick-rising yeast processes. Grain buds (or seeds) are allowed to begin their regenerative process: growing mini-roots. Lack of light add some moisture and still air, temperate atmosphere and the magic begins to happen.THIS is the essence of life for the grain or seed; it's life force delivered -not destroyed - through the baking process after grain mills strip the grain of its innate vitality.

Unless you're a really active bean-pole with a very high metabolism, you need to back waaaay off the usual bread-at-every-meal habit. Begin NOW limiting yourself to one piece of bread (or roll, chips, taco, wrap, bagel, or flatbread) a day. Of course you're NOT eating pastries at all.

Once in a while use tofu instead of flesh. Again it all depends on what you're immediate and long-term goals are, what your genetic body type is, your metabolism, etc.
