Eating Healthy Fast Food—Or As Close As You Can Get
March 3rd, 2010
Eating healthy at home is pretty easy. As long as you know what to buy and stock up on at the grocery store. But what about when you venture outside your home? Fast food restaurants are everywhere you go. It’s fast, convenient, and cheap.
But for the person looking to change their body and be as healthy as they can in regards to their nutrition, then fast food restaurants can be a deathtrap.
So I’ve compiled a list of the healthiest fast food foods you can eat and not destroy your entire day or week’s worth of nutrition.
Although I don’t recommend fast food often, sometimes there just isn’t anything else, especially if you’re on the road and pushed for time. The fast food industry has been criticized a lot for the way their food is delivered, processed, and served. One thing that about 99% of all fast food items have in it is added salt, sugar, or fat– or a combo of all three. That makes it very addictive to someone not in the know. But every once in a while is fine. 
If you haven’t seen the movie Food Inc, I highly recommend it.
And now on to the list (in no particular order).
Wendy’s Ultimate Chicken Grill and Mandarin Chicken Salad. If you avoid slathering the sandwich with mayonnaise and the salad with gobs of dressing these are some of your best choices at Wendy’s. The sandwich only has 7 grams of fat (1.5 saturated) and the salad has 25 grams, but only 3 from saturated fat, so the rest is the heart healthy kind.
Although both are loaded with sodium they pack a good amount of protein. The chili is always another great option here.
Next is Subway and there Oven-Roasted Chicken Breast and Veggie Delite. Obviously everyone knows Subway has other healthy options, which are also fine, but what most people don’t know is that there wheat bread really isn’t wheat bread at all—it’s enriched. Real Whole Wheat bread costs more and just like any business they cut costs where they can.
Most of the subs are lower calories then most other fast food places that doesn’t mean you should eat more. A lot of people tend to overeat when they think the food is healthier. A calorie is a calorie no matter where it comes from. Go over your limit too many times will have disastrous consequences.
Quizno’s Small Honey Bourbon Chicken on Wheat is next. Comes in at just 310 calories and 4 grams of fat. Stick with the mustard and not the mayo.
On to the top dog- McDonald’s. Their grilled chicken is a good choice here just like at Wendy’s. Their regular hamburger used to be a good choice, but after further review it looks like they have a ½ a gram of trans fat in it. Trans fats are a no-no.
For salads go with the Premium Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken (not crispy).
Last is Chipotle. It’s not really one of the healthiest, but a lot of people love it. So I thought I’d include something that’s a little healthier for you then that big ass burrito.
Go with a Chicken Burrito Bowl with lettuce, black beans, green or red salsa, and guacamole. You’ll come in at around 480 calories, 21 grams of fat (just 4 saturated, most of it is from the very heart healthy guacamole), 42 grams protein, and 35 grams carbs (a whopping 18 grams of fiber).
Compare that to the Chicken Burrito with tomato, corn, cheese, sour cream, rice and beans of about 1100 calories, 40 grams of fat, 112 grams of carbs and 2530 milligrams of sodium.
So that’s the list. Remember fast food is fast and not nearly as healthy as you can make at home. But sometimes we can’t help ourselves or need to have a cheat. That’s ok. Just get back up on the healthy wagon as soon as you do.

A Complete Guide on How to Become the Best Nutritionist that You can Be
February 10th, 2010
Nutritionist, dietitian, food expert – no matter which term you wish to
apply to it, it all boils down to the same thing. A nutritionist should be
an expert at what he or she does.
And the main focus of the profession is promoting good health through
proper diet and nutrition. As such, you need to be an expert in food and
everything that involves nutrients, modified diets and fulfilling a
patient’s nutritional needs.
It’s basically an overall health care which focuses again, on food and
nutrition.
Top Tips on How to become the Best Nutritionist
Just as it is with every other profession, there are certain things that
you need to keep in mind if you wish to become an expert at food and
nutrition. Take a look at the following tips:
1. Educate yourself.
How can you be a Registered Dietitian, for example, if you will not get
proper education? If you want to become a professional nutritionist or
dietitian, the first thing that you need to work on is earning a degree.
Don’t get sucked in by taking an RD degree from a run-of-the-mill school –
make sure that the educational institution that you will enrol in is
reputable. Check the school’s accreditation and determine the number of
hours of internship required by your state for you to become a
full-fledged Registered Dietitian.
2. Pursue a higher degree of education.
When you’re an RD, you can either work in a research facility, a hospital
or another institute which requires the services of a food and nutrition
expert. If you want to advance your career, it’s a good idea to pursue a
higher level of education – like taking up a Master’s or PhD in nutrition.
This will not just allow you to earn more, but also pursue bigger things
and advance greatly in your profession.
3. Love what you do – and excel in it.
The food that man is consuming is constantly evolving. By being aware of
what is happening around you, having a love for what you are doing and
excelling in your field of food and nutrition – you can become the best
nutritionist that you can be.
4. Be a role model.
Finally, make sure that you are practicing what you preach. How can you
become a good role model as a nutritionist if your students or your peers
see you eating a relatively unhealthy diet?
By following these tips, you are bound to become the best nutritionist
that you can be and excel in this particular field of study.

Get Your Free Bottle of Prograde Workout Today- No Joke!
January 30th, 2010
Post workout is pretty darn important. In my opinion the second most important meal of the day!
Ok, so you’re working your butt off. You’re sweating. You’re hustling. You’re getting that exercise “high.” Heck, not only are you now enjoying your workouts, but you want to learn more about how to make them more effective. You talk to people, watch videos, read books, all in the hopes of finding the next step in making your workout super effective.
Not just effective– SUPER EFFECTIVE!
It never ceases to amaze me how most people don’t give their bodies a second thought. They think they just go to the gym or workout at home… throw some dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells around like a madman or madwoman, then go home and eat whatever they want.
Seriously, the human body is the most complicated piece of machinery on the planet. Do they really think there’s ZERO science behind exercise? Do they really think they can just eat whatever is in their fridge after working their butts off? You can’t out exercise bad nutrition.
Nutrition plays a much bigger part then most people care to admit. And it’s because nutrition is hard for some people to get right.
‘But now it doesn’t have to be so hard.’ Says Columbus Personal Trainer Jason Yun. ‘Post-workout nutrition is now Done-For-You! Thanks to Prograde Nutrition!’
There is an OPTIMAL way to fuel your body after all the demands you make of it during your training session? Of course there is!
Bottom line: Recent studies have shown that a carbohydrate AND protein formula is more effective for rapid replenishment of muscle glycogen after exercise than a carbohydrate only supplement of equal carbohydrate or caloric content.
In other words, just drinking Gatorade after your workout doesn’t cut it. The research indicates you need to fuel your body with just the right combo of carbs AND protein. And yes, this is hyper-critical to optimizing your efforts. The window of opportunity is small to get these nutrients in your body 45-75 minutes is what the research points to.
Here’s two more things you need to know about getting the most bang for your workout buck:
1) As a proud Prograde Partner I’m thrilled to let you know that Prograde Workout is now available on a FREE trial basis. There’s just a small S & H fee.
2) On the link below you can also learn more about the research study on post-workout nutrition.
Yes, Prograde Workout recovery drink is based on this very research. It provides the right combo of protein and carbs that your body craves after a tough training session. A perfect 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein will help speed up the recovery process you need to get your body ready for the next intense training session.
