For Health Eat like your Mom/Grandma feed You
Not talking about getting shredded for a contest, but when I look back the best athletic shape and healthiest I felt with energy was with 3 home cooked balanced meals a day by momma and grandma with snacks in between.
Even my grandfather 83 still eats like this and is 5 10' lean 170 and very active.
Breakfast: 2-3 eggs, sausage and a piece of whole wheat toast or oatmeal with little fruit banana or some blueberries in oatmeal and glass milk.
Snack: some raisins with peanuts/walnuts or piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter or a yogurt. Glass water
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with an apple maybe little milk and glass water Or often left overs from dinner some chicken potatoes and green beans or some other meat. Glass of milk and water or natural ice tea with lemon and maybe just little sugar.
Snack Choices: Where often a combo Some beef jerky, cottage cheese, yogurt apple slices with peanut butter etc. vegetable sticks with some cheese. Glass water natural ice tea with lemon and maybe just little sugar.
Dinner: Was a meat , starch- potato or rice and a vegetable usually green.
Snacks: same as above , but at night some popcorn if we were lucky we get little salt and little butter.
On weekend was treat we get pancakes or french toast instead of oatmeal or toast for breakfast and on Friday night maybe get pizza once in a while, 2 x month, but your were limited only 3 pieces and you get a 1 can of soda no 2 liters for refills.
Grandpa would have glass of wine ever night.
All vegetables were natural picked form the garden and canned also to have some for the winter winter.
Of course in fall you get piece home made apple pie instead of popcorn on Fri or Sat night and those holiday meals were little different, but for most part the above was how I was raised. Was just what what other thoughts were about the above or their experiences.
